HONDA CBR1000RR - Honorable Mention Award

Honorable Mention – Honda CBR1000RR In the literbike class, the CBR1000RR
marries the lightest weight, sharpest steering and most potent midrange punch to create our favorite 1000cc sportbike.

BEST SPORTBIKE 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R

Kawasaki ZX-6R awarded best sportbike 2009,

Costly (to the OEMs) updates to the 600s arrive every two years in a never-ending quest to one-up their rivals. And it's for these reasons why the ZX-6R is so redoubtable. Kawasaki has built a motor that handily out-guns its 600cc rivals, but just as impressive is a 22-lb lighter machine that handles like a champ, aided by Showa's fabulous new Big Piston Fork. Doubly impressive is that the Ninja took top honors on both the street and track – no mean feat. Triumph's Daytona 675 gives the ZX a run for its money, but among four-cylinder middleweights, the nasty and nimble Ninja stands clearly at the top of this ultra-competitive heap.

BEST OF 2009 -MOTORCYCLES OF THE YEAR

Best of 2009 - Motorcycles of the Year

Motorcycle of the Year , Triumph Street Triple R become the best motorcycle in 2009
the Street Triple R was introduced just last year, replete with the Daytona’s up-spec fully adjustable suspension and potent radial-mount Nissin brake calipers, alleviating all of our concerns. The result is an invigorating and versatile roadster that stickers for less than $10K. Lofting the front wheel is a snap, and before you know it you’ll be drifting out the back end like an inspired Brit hooligan. And on your favorite twisty back road, its friendly yet potent character is almost unbeatable, proving that no one really needs triple-digit horsepower peaks. Now that Triumph perfected the Street in our eyes, it became the perfect Standard. And it's our favorite motorcycle of 2009.

"A LOVELY BOOK ..."

Our recently published book Russian Motor Vehicles – The Czarist Period: 1784 to 1917, by Maurice Kelly, has been well-received in Old Glory magazine this month.

"A lovely book covering a little-known subject." – Old Glory

"Former military engineer Kelly has done an expert job, as his impressive bibliography of Russian books confirms. Alexandr Zakarov's colourful artwork draws you into marque histories, such as Russo-Baltic racer, Dux vee-twin cyclecars and Mercedes-inspired Lessner Edwardian tourers." – Classic & Sports Car

ARE YOU GUILTY OF BUYING WITH YOUR HEART AND NOT YOUR HEAD?

Here's what Australian Classic Car had to say about Veloce's very affordable pocket-sized Essential Buyer's Guide series.



The Essential Buyer’s Guide

Citroën DS&ID, VW Golf, Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, Fiat 500&600 and Jaguar/Daimler XJ40



By Various Marque Experts

Published by Veloce Publishing







With words like “Don’t buy a Jaguar/Daimler XJ40 without buying this book first” printed

on the back, the Essential Buyer’s Guides from Veloce Publishing set themselves up as an invaluable resource for the classic car enthusiast. Many of us are guilty of buying with our hearts and not our heads – I know I am. Looking back, I wish I had studied a Buyer’s Guide, as it would have saved me many hours of work and valuable dollars.



Freshly published is this batch of Buyer’s Guides for such diverse vehicles as the Fiat 500 and Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow. Each guide presents its useful information in an easy-to-follow format. First, it goes into whether the car you’re interested in is right for you, costs and values, what it is like to own one, and even if it will fit in your garage. Interestingly, it breaks down the inspection into an initial 15-minute evaluation, and then, if you decide to go ahead, what you should look at more closely. Then it gets into the less than exciting (but equally important) paperwork and what the car is really worth. Are you buying to restore or drive daily?



Sensible questions are asked about the logistics of restoring a Silver Shadow or a XJ40, drawing your attention as to what’s involved in repainting, rust removal and the all important hydraulics in the Citroën. Lastly, it provides details for clubs and specialists. While the Buyer’s Guides are written for the UK market, the information covered is just as relevant for Australians. Highly recommended.



Coming soon in the Essential Buyer's Guide series! Ford Capri, Triumph Stag, Norton Commando, Honda SOHC Fours & Hinckley Triples & Fours

1ST REVIEW OF SAVE THE TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE!

This great review of Save the Triumph Bonneville! – The inside story of the Meriden Workers’ Co-op is from Martin Jones in the September issue of Nacelle (The Triumph Owners Motor Cycle Club "in house" magazine)

Click image to view full size.

Thanks to Martin for the review, but we'd just like to point out that John Bloor did not buy the factory site.

Written by the ex-Chairman of the workers’ board of directors of the famous Meriden co-op, this is the real story of the last bastion of British motorcycle production following the collapse of the industry. It’s also the story of a workforce’s refusal to let the Triumph Bonneville die ...

STOCK NEWS: TOYOTA CELICA GT-FOUR (RALLY GIANTS) NOW AVAILABLE

Image taken from Toyota Celica GT-Four (Rally Giants Series) by Graham Robson. See more great pictures from the book on flickr.

This is a comprehensive study of the career of the Toyota Celica GT-Four. Starting in 1988, three generations of this effective turbocharged four-wheel-drive car – known by enthusiasts as ST165, ST185 and ST205 types – fought for World Championships, and were amazingly successful for almost a decade.

All types combined high-performance, great reliability, and superb preparation by Toyota Team Europe (based in Cologne, Germany), their 300bhp/four-wheel-drive chassis package being among the best in the world. Over the years, the cars won some of the roughest events in the world (such as the Safari and the Acropolis), and were also supreme on tarmac, snow and ice, including Monte Carlo.

After fighting a running battle with Lancia for years, the Celicas won the World Manufacturers’ Championship twice. Its famous drivers included Carlos Sainz (World Champion in 1990 and 1992), Juha Kankkunen (Champion in 1993) and Didier Auriol (Champion in 1994).

Never far from controversy, and at times embroiled in technical and regulatory disputes, these cars brought real glamour to the colourful sport of rallying, and were only replaced by an even higher-tech Toyota – the Corolla World Rally Car – in 1997.
