Adznet reports that a biodiesel conversion specialist, Jonathan Goodwin, has retrofitted a Hummer to run on ethanol, hydrogen, biodiesel or natural gas. The car gets the equivalent to 40 miles per gallon. Goodwin's company is an alternative energy start-up, SAE Energy. The company is filling an unlikely niche in the clean tech market: making muscle cars green. He's already converted about 60 H2 Hummers from gas to diesel and about 100 H1 hummers, including a Hummer that can burn the whole menu of clean fuels.

A gas-to-diesel conversion boosts a Hummer's mileage from about 10 miles a gallon to between 22 and 24 miles a gallon. Additionally, the horsepower jumps from about 325 in the regular Hummer to 650, giving the car more power.• • More>>> >>>... •

Honda Beat

After releasing a new type of sport bike named Honda CS1 (City Sport) about 2 monts ago, Honda plan to release a new type of automatic bike. The name of this newest automatic variant which sold in Indonesia is Honda Beat. It seems not so different compared to the former type, Vario. There still many characteristic features of Vario which sill implemented with this new type, such Side Stand Switch and Parking Brake Lock. In Thailand, this variant named with Icon.



Physically, the appearance is almost the same with Honda Icon. It also used 108 CC 4 stroke engine with CVT transmision. The available colours choice are Fusion Blue, Hip Hip Orange, Pop Pink, Hard Rock Black, Techno White, and Electro Red.• • More>>> >>>... •

Leo Vince SBK Exhaust - The Goods

photographer: Jim Moy
SBK Slip-On Duals Save 15.2 PoundsThe enormous amount of exhaust volume produced by the Kawasaki ZX14's large displacement, 1352cc inline-four engine pretty much necessitates a dual exhaust system from the factory. With each individual combustion stroke producing more than twice as much spent gases as a 600cc middleweight motor (and more than twice as much noise, too), two big mufflers are necessary to evacuate those fumes in a manner that is still quiet enough to sneak under the increasingly restrictive noise emissions standards. The problem here is that dual exhausts mean twice as much of everything, including weight-and on a sportbike as big as the 563-pound ZX14, every pound counts. OEM motorcycle mufflers are traditionally anything but light, and the twin cans on the stock ZX14 are no exception-and the integrated midpipes; the stainless set that comes stock on the ZX14 weighs in at a titanic 28 pounds. Looking for a good way to shave a few pounds from our Project ZX14 without sacrificing the benefits of a dual exhaust system (quieter exhaust note and symmetrical good looks) led us to the SBK slip-on dual exhaust setup offered by Italian manufacturer LeoVince. Gorgeously constructed of titanium midpipes mated to carbon-fiber canisters (aluminum and titanium canisters are also offered), the $743 SBK slip-on duals save a significant 15.2 pounds compared to the stock system, as measured on SSB's official digital scale. Straight-through, race-type baffles significantly improve horsepower compared to the more restrictive stock cans, but because there are still two mufflers in place (compared to converting to a single-canister exhaust system) the bike now sounds suitably aggressive without being obnoxious-LeoVince claims an imminently reasonable 98 dB sound rating for this system. The SBK slip-on system is an excellent solution if you want to improve the looks, power, sound and overall weight of your ZX14 (or any other modern sportbike, for that matter) without abandoning the dual exhaust system• • More>>> >>>... •

1993 Suzuki GSX-R750 - Shout Outs

Busted!
Word is out that you all did an article about how urban bikers are not interested in AMA racing or twisting the throttle at the racetrack ("The Color Barrier," Sept. 2006, page 14). If this is true, you are really not in touch! First off, one of my club members (The Blast Squad-Atlanta) is tearing up the WERA circuit. Secondly, most of the "urban" bikers (and "black" bikers is all that "urban" really means) I know are in the house on Sunday afternoon watching AMA and MotoGP races on TV before we hit the streets later that night. My friends and I will hit the track any time you invite us, and most of us spend our time trying to get as much track time in as possible. Just so you know, I am a girl, and I learned to dragrace from Rickey Gadson, but I will hit the roadrace track with you and any of your people who think they can hang any time! Yes, that is a challenge. You need to talk to the whole population of urban bikers, not just the ones you meet outside your hotel room, before you go making broad generalizations. Check the pic and holla if you can hang! Yeah, that's an '06 GSX-R1000!

I need to make a comment about a bike you featured in your July 2006 issue. On page 92 you feature a 1993 GSX-R750 that, admittedly, is damn nice. There is a huge flaw in your article, though-in 1993, the GSX-R750 was water-cooled, not oil-cooled, as you mention in the article. This is a fairly big detail, especially for those of us die-hard, oil-cooled GSX-R fanatics. If you're going to write an article about old-school GSX-Rs, you really need to get your facts straight.

P.S. I own (and ride) the following bikes: 1986 GSX-R750, 1988 GSX-R1100, 1992 GSX-R750, 1992 GSX-R7/11 (750 frame with a 1216cc motor), 1993 GSX-R frame with a 1991 771cc motor, and a 2001 SV650 track bike.

Your mag absolutely kicks ass! I look forward to each new issue because nothing comes close to your quality. Even your Web site's layout is very user friendly, unlike some of the other mag sites. I have attached a pic of my rocket, and I hope you could put it in your mag sometime soon. It's a 1997 YZF1000R with a full Hindle exhaust, Wiseco piston kit, and a paint job done by Ottawa Valley Custom Paint. Again, thanks for putting out such a wicked mag.

Got a good thing going here, boyz. Love the magazine, fine publishing skills. I'd like to give a shout out to all the troops in service-thanks for your dedication-and the families of the NYFD. Gone, but never forgotten. Here's a picture of my '03 R1. Starting to get into the stunt world, so she's got some battle scars; she's also got a Yosh exhaust, hlins stabilizer, and some EFI mods. Now it just needs a 12 o'clock bar and an engine cage! By the way, it's run on jet fuel-I'll be flying in to see you all at Super Streetbike next week. Wish me luck.

I would like to have my GSX-R1000 shown in your mag. It has been a dream to have a nice bike, and it took me a long time to get this one built (and I'm not half-finished-got much more planned)

My name is Chris Merrifield, and I have a 2006 Hayabusa with a 300 rear tire on RC Components wheels, extended swingarm, nitrous, and all the other billet goodies from Roaring Toyz in Florida. I would love the opportunity to see it in your magazine.

Thought I would send a picture of my wife and my mistress, too, a 2006 Hayabusa! I honestly don't know which I like riding more. I am a lucky man.

First, I would like to thank all you guys at SSB for producing the best mag out there. I read it front to back every month, and I have gotten a lot of ideas from the mag and would like to give you guys some credit for my '04 GSX-R1000. It's been lowered and loves to go fast. It would make me happy to see a pic of my bike in this mag just to show the people out there that we can represent in CANADA, too!

I just picked up the June issue and wanted to give you guys a huge thanks for a great mag. Right now I am laid up from knee surgery. I won't be able to ride all season, and I am going bike crazy! I included a couple of shots of my F4i. I built her from the frame up piece by piece in my basement. I even repaired the tank and painted her myself (not in the basement, though). If you have the space, I would love to see my CBR in print. She's got a Scorpion pipe, PC-III, undertail, and too much more to list.

Way back in 1982 I seized my Kawi triple for the third time at 100 mph. I had had it with two-strokes, so I walked into the local Toronto Suzuki shop and said, "What's the fastest thing you have?" He showed me an 1100 Katana. Truthfully, I wasn't sure what to make of it. Man! That is radical! After looking at it for a few minutes, I bought it. Rode the wheels off it for a few years, then had to sell it.
By the late '90s I was getting hungry for another bike, and I found this 1983 Katana 1100 basketcase and decided to breathe new life into it. After all, this was the original head-turnin' neck stretcher, and I wanted to do it right. The list of mods is extensive, from the frame bracing and custom-fabbed Bandit 1200 swingarm to the Gixxer fork and wheels and all the motor work: 1166cc kit, 36mm RS flat-slides, port/polished head, WEB cams with slotted cam gears, HD clutch basket, high-flow oil pump with Earl's oil cooler and top-end oiling kit to top her off to keep her from squeakin'... This beast may not have the power of the present pole-sitters, but when you twist the wick on this land shark, she eats up the real estate at an alarming rate. She's a classic with big teeth, and I sure get a lot of attention when I cruise around town from the old guys and the kids who think it's a new bike.

This is a picture of my '05 Hayabusa I got from my mom for Valentine's Day (Thanks, Mom!). It wasn't long before the guys at Rick's Cycles got their hands on her! It was stretched, lowered, fitted with an undertail, custom grips, chopper mirrors, billet top triple clamp, Double Bubble windscreen, frame sliders, HMF carbon slip-ons, and more. Future plans include a Power Commander and an N.O.S. system. I would really appreciate seeing my bike in the greatest bike mag! Keep up the good work!
