The Acerbis Seat

Acerbis Seat review 


The Acerbis seat is a revolutionary product. It is light weight and comfortable. It is a great product for getting what your money is worth in motorbiking. It means that you only need to replace your seat once a year unlike a seat cover which you have to replace once very two weeks as they tear. It has an extremely high ani-slip grip which makes the product indispensable for every rider. 
Its main features are:
- External plastic shell with an internal waterproof foaming.
- 100% water resistance 
- lighter than any other seat
- Rear set clamps are steal for durability and strength

The Doctor- Valentino Rossi

Italian motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi won seven World Championships in Grand Prix racing by the time he was 26 years old, cementing his place as one of the sport's heroes. Rossi is the son of 1970s racer Graziano Rossi, and he began racing as a teenager, first with karts, then with minimotos (minibikes). In his second season racing in the Grand Prix 125cc class, he won his first World Championship (1997). Rossi moved up to the 250cc class and, in his second season, won the World Championship in 1999. He then moved up to the 500cc class, racing for Honda, and won the World Championship in 2001. Since then he has won the revised MotoGP World Championship in 2002 and 2003 with Honda, and in 2004 and 2005 with Yamaha. Charismatic, cocky and talented, he is a crowd favorite who went from being known as a clownish upstart to being dubbed "The Doctor" for his calculated and precise way of out-racing opponents.

KTM 350 Review


The KTM 350 was released to the market in 2011. Since then it has proven to be a powerful, fun and successful motorbike.

This bike it exactly what you think it is, it is power and performance is exactly between and 250 and 450.
The main differences in the bike are that it is lighter than a 450, it has less reciprocating mass in the engine and therefore can handle a lot better than a 450, it has a professional style and you can ride the motorbike faster for longer because it doesn't tire the rider out.  Like a 450 it still has long maintenance intervals when compared to a 250.

Some of the problems with bike are that when pulling the bike apart the sub frame and air box require a bit of fiddling and time to take off compared to japanese bikes.

The KTM 350 SXF is a great bike and has proven itself in the American Motorcross and Supercross with most factory KTM350 riders getting on the leader board with high positions during the races. this is seen with Ken Roczen coming second in the supercrosss last week in America. And Antoni Cairoli winning the 2010 and 2011 World Championships.
