Yamaha Building A Moto2 Contender?
While we have lamented about how Oberdan Bezzi is a motorcycle artist and not a motorcycle journalist, despite the fact he is often cited as if he were one, the Italian artist has posted information on his blog (alongside a render of course) that Yamaha is rumored to be building a Moto2 bike which will be ready to compete when the series replaces the 250 class, either in 2010 or 201.
Named the YZR 600 M2, the bikes would be sold in Yamaha�s traditional red and white production livery, much as the old TZ bikes were back in the 1980s. This breaks from the current model where bikes are leased to teams in the MotoGP series.
While this news seems far-fetched, should Yamaha be genuinely interested in producing equipment for the Moto2 class, it would mark a turning point for the series, which so far has only garnered attention from chassis specialists such as Moriwaki, Suter and BQR. These current entries almost exclusively involve building prototype chassis around production engines, typically a Honda CBR600RR powerplant. Interestingly enough however, Honda has not expressed any interest in the new class, and there have even been some statements which would seem to imply that the Japanese giant will not build a bike for the new class.

Tokyo Motorcycle Show 2006 starts from today
The 33rd Motorcycle show has started from today in Tokyo. This one is a real monster event with motorcycle and parts manufacturers from all over the world participating in a big way.
You can see new motorcyles from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Moto Guzzi, Kymco, Triumph, Harley, BMW and Ducati. Most of the motoryckes displayed in this show are Concept Motorcyles which will turn into production in next few years.
I always love attending this show because it is not only an opportunity to see many new technologies, specially hybrid, electric and other alternative forms of energy sourced motorcycles, but also some very beautiful models (girls) from all over the world. So if you are in Tokyo, don't miss this chance !

Yamaha paper motorcycle models
Want your own 50th anniversary edition of the Yamaha MotoGP bike? Yamaha will give you one, sort of, at the Yamaha papercraft site. You can download a paper foldup model and build it yourself. Want a V-Max or an R1? You can have one. These look very cool. You might figure those folks from the land of origami might come up with something like this. You need the free Adobe Acrobat reader to open the files. They come in either white or color versions and there are many pages of parts to download and fold. Complete assembly instructions are available as well, obviously, because this isn�t your average wrench and screwdriver project. I am definitely going to get one of these.
It seems these have been around for a while but they�re new to me.
