Well, Rock Oil Synthesis XRP is a fully synthetic motorcycle oil developed for racing. XRP has been around for nearly 10 years now with claims that it can ‘increase brake horse power’, but is this statement actually true and exactly how could it increase BHP?
Two of the highest profile companies in international motorcycle sport are coming together for the 2013 North West 200 and Isle of Man TT.
HM Plant and Padgett’s Motorcycles are joining forces in their quest for further successes in the ultimate tests of teams’ and riders’ commitment to speed.
Under the official title of HM Plant Honda by Padgett’s Motorcycles, the team will be running 19 times TT winner and fastest man round the Island, John McGuinness in Superstock and Supersport alongside another multiple TT and NW200 winner, Bruce Anstey, who will also represent the team in the Superbike and Senior TT classes.
HM Plant Chairman John Jones:
“We’re delighted to be back in the paddock, this time with the supremely successful Padgett’s team and it’s going to be incredibly exciting to support them as they attempt to do the impossible and repeat their phenomenal clean sweep of the TT in 2010.”
Rock motorcycle oil sponsored Honda rider, David Knight, won Rounds Two and Three of the Fast Eddy ACU NORC championship held at Rogershill Raceway in Dorset at the weekend.
David won Round 1 of the series, a British Extreme Championship, back in February. Rounds Two and Three were super sprint events, which are held over 8 laps each day. The special tests were held on an excellent hard packed surface which had a little bit of everything from fast MX tracks, to woodland and endurocross.
After the long drive from mid Wales to the village of Brussi sul Trino, the Italian community welcomed the enduro with open arms, and the sun was shining which was a bonus.
The enduro consisted of a 56 km lap with two time checks, a cross test and a enduro test. Each test would present Tom with very different challenges, the motocross test was looking to be a very fast full on motocross track, yet the enduro test Tom would be able to use his trial skills to tackle the rock sections, but carry speed at the same time.
Without question one of the Husaberg team’s stand out performances came from 125 Youth Cup class rider Jamie McCanney of the Rock Oil sponsored Midwest Racing team.
Cautiously making his way through the GP of Chile, Jamie went after victory in Argentina and managed to claim the win on both days.
In doing so he moves to the top of the 125 Youth Cup championship standings
Honda rider David Knight produced a great 3rd place result at the first X-Games World Series, the first time X-Games has been held out of its birth place in L.A.
It was held in Foz Do Igacu, Brazil, a beautiful part of the country set on the edge of a rain forest.
With all the best Endurocross riders present from both Europe and the USA, it was going to be a very big battle indeed!
Buildbase Honda’s French MX1 star and reigning Red Bull Pro National Champ Nico Aubin began this seasons Red Bull challenge with a fantastic podium finish at Landrake in Cornwall this weekend.
The spectacular South West circuit blessed with (mostly) sunny weather did not disappoint racers or spectators and the Red Bull Pro National circus put on a fantastic show with family attractions and entertainments and a well-oiled race schedule.
Nico’s retention of the Red Bull No.1 plate opened in fine style with pole position in qualifying and second place in the opening race on Saturday.
Sunday’s performance was equally impressive as Aubin took a third at the flag in race two and followed it up by battling though to fifth from dead last as a drizzle of rain began to fall in the final moto.
The Zip Cat 50cc was a 4bhp, 2 stroke scooter released in January 2001 in the UK by Piaggio. The Zip Cat was a variation of the Zip 2000 with basically the same features and styling.
The Zip 50 Cat had a catalytic converter on the exhaust system and the word ‘Catalyst’ just under the word ‘Zip’ on the badges either side of the tail panel!
