Going Roadracing on a Hopped-Up H2

2 weeks ago | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

Long ago I was a partner in a little Kawasaki dealership outside of Boston: Arlington Motor Sports. We started racing Kawasaki’s 500 production racer, the H1-R, in 1970, and in the fall of 1971 we wanted to know if the company would now produce a 750 for racing, based on the new H2.
Álex Márquez Gets His First MotoGP Win in Jerez

2 weeks ago | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

Álex Márquez, after his brother Marc fell on lap 3, knew there was opportunity for the taking, even though he remained where he’d started, fourth, for two laps. By lap 3 the order was Quartararo, Bagnaia, and Álex. Some have hailed those early laps as “race of the century” level. But we know that experienced riders accept extra risk for the great prize of leading rather than overheating the front tire in the hot draft of others.
Marc Márquez Returns to His Winning Ways in Qatar

4 weeks ago | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

Marc Márquez on factory Ducati has done it again, regaining the point lead from brother Álex. Before practice Marc was reserved about his chances. He said, “I have only won one year here.”This has two basic causes: The track has fast right-handers that are his weak area, and his strength in his best years has been in “small” point-and-shoot corners that favor his brake hard, get turned early, and blast off riding style. Not many in Qatar.

The Ins and Outs of Ball and Roller Bearings

2 months ago | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

If you look into a parts book or bearing catalog, you will see that bearing dimensions are basic: What is the OD, ID, and thickness of the bearing? The bearing type is also specified. A basic “Conrad” ball bearing is usually supplied with a two-piece press-formed steel ribbon separator whose purpose is to space the seven balls so that they cannot rub against each other. Cage halves are usually riveted together, but may also be joined by spot-welds or fold-over tabs.
What Is MotoGP Aero All About?

2 months ago | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

At present it’s impossible not to notice the aerodynamic devices on MotoGP bikes, but 10 years ago there was no such thing; fairings were as smooth and free of “gadgets” as they were in the days of “One man, one cylinder, a Lucas magneto, and an Amal carburetor.”The first step (around 2016) was to try something that had been tried years before: little winglets on the lower sides of the fairing nose, short and stubby like the “turbulators” once seen on the upper surfaces of B707 wings.
Kawasaki’s Mach IV 750 H2 Triple

Feb 14, 2025 | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

Kawasaki’s 1972 750 H2 was the most bang for the buck—by far! Find a dealer short of cash and a brand-new H2 could be yours for under a grand. With 74 hp it topped the bike that in put Harley’s Sportster on the trailer, the 1969 Kawasaki H1 500 Triple. When we got the new bikes at our dealership just before Christmas 1971, we marveled at their simplicity.
2025 Ducati Multistrada V2 S First Ride

Feb 7, 2025 | cycleworld.com | Blake Conner |Kevin Cameron

When Ducati introduced the midsize Multistrada 950 back in 2017, it was a move to fill a gap in its touring lineup with a more affordable and approachable platform. It was a logical decision on many levels, and as the years have ticked by, the name morphed into the Multistrada V2 for the 2022 model year.

What Are Harley and Dorna Up To?

Nov 25, 2024 | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

Jorge Martín became MotoGP world champion at Barcelona, the traditional finale venue Valencia having suffered record flooding. On the next day, at the same racetrack, a team of men wearing “Harley-Davidson Factory Race Team” clothing started and rolled out that company’s King of the Baggers racebikes from the popular series running in US MotoAmerica events.
