MV Agusta set for BSB with Tsingtao Kawasaki
MV Agusta set for BSB with Tsingtao Kawasaki, MV Agusta will return to the MCE British Superbike paddock for 2015, with national Superstock 1000 championship leaders Tsingtao Hampshire Motorcycles making the switch from Kawasaki, for not only superbike but also supersport.
Team owner Dave Tyson said: “We wanted to start planning for the 2015 season at the earliest opportunity and we have been looking at the different markets and have worked in the past with MVs. We visited the factory and had a positive meeting with them and we have developed a new partnership which also includes converting our showroom into MV’s flagship store for the UK.
“We have the bikes and we have already stripped down the F3 and have started work on it. The advantage we do have is that the MV team in Italy are sharing the information so we can work together on the development. The MV is a proven package in the World Supersport Championship and is built as a race bike so has huge potential. Nick [Morgan] will continue as our technical partner at MSS Performance and they will work closely with the factory to develop the engines.
Team boss Tyson’s Hampshire Motorcycles will be having a special event this weekend to celebrate their new MV Agusta dealer status at the dealership in Waterlooville, with everyone welcome.

Special products designed specifically for Ducati Monster 696 796 1100 by Fullsix Carbon,
We are pleased to announce that Fullsix have just created a whole new line of carbon fibre products specially designed for the Ducati Monster 696 796 1100 range.
fullsix-carbon-fibre-ducati-monster-796-1100/
In collaboration with renowned designer John Keogh, the FullSix team would like to introduce the »FullSix Monster«, a stylish carbon fiber reinterpretation of the classic Ducati Monster. Sophisticated yet muscular and sexy, the FullSix Monster is a showcase of John Keogh’s design talent and FullSix’s carbon elegance. The result is a perfect look, precise fitting and supreme part quality which captures and augments the spirit of Ducati.
Designed by John Keogh, crafted by FullSix.
John Keogh
John Keogh brings nearly 20 years of professional motorcycle design experience and critical acclaim to CDT Group and FullSix. Trained as an automotive designer in the UK and Switzerland, John is an authority in motorcycle design and regularly contributes articles and drawings to motorcycle magazines worldwide.
In addition to designing personalized prototypes such as the Ducati Terminator, Vee Two Squalo and SuperSqualo, John has collaborated with OEM manufacturers such as Triumph and Buell/Harley-Davidson on projects such as the radical Buell Firebolt and Lightning. One will also find John’s creations on the racetrack as well, having worked with motorcycle race teams such as Roberts GP and WCM Yamaha, as well as automotive race teams such as Lola, RML and Caterham.
Collaboration & Design
In 2008, CDT Group has ranked among the top global manufacturers of high quality carbon fiber parts in the automotive and motorcycle industry. In joining forces with John Keogh, CDT Group has created the FullSix Monster. Drawing inspiration from the original Monster design and incorporating John’s organic approach which focuses on extracting a subject’s original design elements and producing a new creation that is both complimentary and yet surpasses the original, the FullSix Monster demonstrates CDT Group’s pursuit of world class carbon fiber design.
Free from the rules and restrictions imposed in professional racing, the FullSix Monster fully showcases John’s creativity. Blending Galluzzi’s Monster with his own provocative ideas, John applied his »fast and dirty« design approach to adorn our favorite Italian motorcycle with sex appeal and carbon elegance. »It is a Monster with a special touch« says John Keogh, »This is a major step forward.«

Here is a sneak preview of the work so far:
RHS CNC Racing RPS rearset fitted, these are the normal shift type (race shift also available) they are a work of art and cant wait to put them to use.
We also added exhaust wrap to the exhaust as this gets incredibly hot and as we want to use a carbon guard we decided that apart from getting it ceramic coated then this is second best.
In the second picture below we have fitted the satin/matte carbon electronic covers, Samco hoses, satin/matte carbon V-panel, Evotech performance upper & lower rad covers, satin/matte subframe covers, CNC racing upper frame plug and engine cam cover. We have also swapped all bolts for titanium/stainless steel.

Nicky Wilson #48 Kick-off 2014
Nicky Wilson #48 Kick-off 2014, I am pleased to report my first date with ‘the Duchess’ (my pet name for the 899) got off to an excellent start with a back-to-back trackday at Cadwell Park at the weekend.
Day one was spent bedding in the engine and becoming acclimatised to the controls and ergonomics of the bike; messing with bars, peg and seat positioning – the usual stuff. My first impressions of the 899 are that it really is a step change in every sense to the 848. As much as I loved the 848, I must say I think Ducati have done the right thing with the 899. To look at it the bike seems tiny, but for my proportions (6ft) it doesn’t feel at all cramped. However the thing that struck me most on the first couple of laps was the engine – more specifically the power delivery and the noise. – Rather than the lumpy thumpy noise of old, this engine has the smoothest power delivery I have ever experienced. Couple this with the flat-shifter and it feels like the torque never drops off through the gears as the engine purrs beneath you. – I can only liken it to a turbo diesel with a DSG gearbox!
As it was a cold, grey day and with parts of the track freshly resurfaced during the winter, I played it safe in the morning and used the ‘sport mode’ on the DTC system. With little experience of modern TC systems, I was impressed with how well it worked, as it identified a lot of ‘slip’ going on at the rear that I would otherwise not have detected myself. Rather than waiting for a big ‘moment’ to happen the DTC does not let you get to that point making it a much safer way to find the limit and will undoubtedly help manage tyre wear when it is setup correctly.
Despite its small demeanour the 899 is brilliantly stable in every aspect of cornering. The EBC combined with the Sigma slipper clutch (on my machine) means the bike is happy under heavy braking and with its short wheel base and weight distribution it doesn’t hesitate to make the apex. Mid-corner the 899, like its predecessor, is ‘planted’ – setting you up perfectly to wind on the fly-by-wire throttle at the apex.
Our second day of testing was a much more pleasant 16 degrees C and sunny – perfect for getting down to business and building up the pace. All went well in the morning, gradually building confidence. During the lunch break, we fitted a new set of tyres with the aim of making the most of the warm conditions and to begin to work with the k-tech suspension (new to me for this year). Unfortunately, a small technical gremlin was found which forced us to abandon the day. Still, that is the nature of the beast and the very reason why we go testing – to find these problems before race day.
The bike is now with W.M Snells for a check over and a few tweaks before the next outing at the end of the month. Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to W.M Snells for all their assistance with the bike on the build up to the first round, as we could not have done it without them.
Special thanks also to Steve Jordan Motorcycles for working on the base suspension settings before the weekend.
If you would like to join the likes of W.M Snells, Demon Designs UK, Conquest Carbon, NF Moto, Hel Performance, R&G, SJM and Fuchs Silkolene, there are still sponsorship opportunities available for 2014 so please get in touch now to make sure you’re on the grid at round 1 in April!
