Pengakuan Valentino Rossi: Dirinya Sebagai Penyebab Utama Kecelakaan MotoGP Argentina 2025

Setelah menjadi penyebab utama kecelakaan di MotoGP Argentina 2025, pembalap muda yang lulus dari akademi Valentino Rossi, Marco Bezzecchi, mengungkapkan pernyataannya.

Marco Bezzecchi mengalami insiden kecelakaan saat memasuki tikungan pertama di Sirkuit Termas de Rio Honda, Argentina, pada Senin (17/3/2025) pagi waktu WIB.

Pembalap yang pernah belajar di VR46 Riders Academy itu menyatakan dirinya sepenuhnya bertanggung jawab atas kejadian tersebut.

Bezzecchi menyatakan bahwa dia salah dalam perencanaan rem-nya.

Peristiwa itu menyebabkannya menabrak roda belakang milik pembalap Yamaha, Fabio Quartararo.

Bezzecchi jatuh dengan keras dan harus mengundurkan diri dari balapan.

Untungnya Quartararo masih bisa bertahan walaupun terpaksa start dari bagian belakang grid.

"Kesalahannya ada pada diri saya, karena pengereman yang terlambat," ujar Bezzecchi seperti dilansir dari Crash.net.

"Saya sukses melewati Franco Morbidelli, namun sayangnya, saya malah menumbuk ban bagian belakang Fabio Quartararo," jelasnya tambahan dia.

Pembalap dari tim Aprilia Racing mengajukan permintaan maaf kepada Quartararo terkait kejadian tersebut.

Oleh karena itu, ini adalah kesalahan besar yang saya perbuat.

Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menyampaikan permohonan maaf saya kepada Fabio.

"Telah saya minta maaf kepada tim itu," ungkap Bezzecchi.

Rasanya cukup menyenangkan ketika saya membonceng sepeda motor selama sesi persiapan.

"Saya berharap untuk maju dengan lancar, namun kesalahan pada belokan pertama merubah seluruh rencana saya," tandasnya.

Menggembirakannya, Bezzecchi adalah satu-satunya pebalap Aprilia yang tampil dalam balapan seri Argentina tersebut.

Pembalap dari Spanyol tersebut telah menyelesaikan 20 putaran dalam waktu 41 menit dan 9,503 detik.

This Supercharged 400 Horsepower Motorcycle Makes Zero Sense

However, we're totally obsessed with it.

There are customized motorcycles available that serve their intended purposes perfectly – these are specially built vehicles meant for particular tasks. Then you have bikes such as this one: a highly boosted, 400-horsepower Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR That has absolutely no reason to be around.

And yet, here we are.

Let’s start with the base bike. The Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RR is already an absolute weapon. I’ve spent a good amount of time with it, and at one point, I even considered buying one for myself. It’s easily the most performance-oriented machine in Triumph’s lineup, with a 1,160cc inline-triple pumping out 177 hp. It’s fast, razor-sharp, and as refined as British sportbikes get. So why, in the name of all that is sensible, would someone strap a supercharger to it and crank the power up to an utterly deranged 400 hp?

Enter Thornton Hundred Motorcycles , a UK-based store known for crafting top-tier, unrestricted bespoke motorcycles. Upon seeing the Speed Triple RR, they immediately envisioned adding something extraordinary: the power to intimidate even fighter pilots. This vision led them to create an utterly audacious bike equipped with a Rotrax C30 supercharger, a specially designed billet swingarm extended by 180 millimeters from standard length, and a massive five-liter methanol reservoir incorporated within the swingarm for their water-methanol injection setup.

Exactly—that thing operates on a mix of fuel and sheer madness.

It kind of resembles a real-life edition of a Lego Technic set.

Then there’s the aesthetic. As if 400 horsepower wasn’t enough, it also comes draped in full carbon fiber bodywork, adaptive aerodynamics, and lightweight carbon wheels. It’s got all the aggression of a MotoGP prototype, except it’s fully street-legal. Not that you should actually ride it on the street, unless your idea of a good time is seeing your own life flash before your eyes at neck-breaking speeds.

So, who would want something like this? Someone who laughs in the face of reason. Someone who sees a finely honed sportbike and thinks, More power. More speed...more danger.

Somebody thought it would be a great idea to add a supercharger to this 1,200cc inline-three engine.

The most exciting aspect? You could own this bicycle. Thornton Hundred has listed it at £55,000, equivalent to approximately $70,000 USD. While this sum might seem steep, think about the advanced engineering involved, the audacity behind such an innovative creation, and the prestige associated with possessing a singular 400-horsepower supercharged drifting motorcycle; suddenly, the cost appears justified. Almost .

In the final analysis, this motorcycle was created solely for the purpose of being able to be made. It doesn't have a practical rationale or a sound basis for existence, nor does it make much sense from a reasonable standpoint as to why someone would choose to ride it. Nevertheless, I am happy it exists. This is because at heart, motorbikes aren't driven by rational thinking; they're fueled by emotion, daring new limits, and producing things that capture attention and spark conversation. What the actual hell ?

And in that regard, this supercharged Speed Triple RR is perfect.

Supermoto Marvel: Stark Varg's Upcoming U.S. Debut Revealed

A large electric supermoto seems incredibly fun to ride.

It goes without saying that the electric two-wheel vehicle sector has seen an influx of start-ups in recent years. Almost every month introduces another new brand claiming they will transform the field with their advanced electric motorcycle. However, amidst this wave of speculative products and exaggerated ideas, there is one firm that has successfully stood out from the crowd: Stark Future .

Initially, many individuals were skeptical about them.

When Stark initially revealed the Varg , a 60- to 80-horsepower electric dirt bike created to compete directly with conventional gasoline-driven motocross vehicles, was often dismissed as yet another lofty EV initiative unlikely to reach production. However, reality has proven different; the Stark Varg isn’t just a tangible product—it's exceptionally impressive, surpassing expectations. banned from the X-Games .

Currently, Stark Future is pushing boundaries even more by venturing into the realm of road-legal vehicles. This development comes as a result of a report by industry veteran Dennis Chung over at Motorcycle.com , we now understand that a supermoto variant of the Varg is forthcoming.

Charging Up The Future

• Segway’s E150S and E250S Scooters Will Reach Europe Later This Year
• Is This Firm Redefining the Electric Vehicle Dirt Bike Industry?

The supermoto version is anticipated to retain many similarities from the EX model yet come with notable distinctions. Unlike the EX’s off-road-oriented 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, the SM is expected to feature 17-inch wheels designed for improved street handling. Additionally, adjustments in the suspension system are probable, possibly reducing the EX’s current 11.8 inches of front and 11.9 inches of rear travel to offer a more compact setup better suited for pavement use.

Certainly, one of the standout features of the Varg is the crawl mode, which has quickly become revolutionary for both the EX model and its MX equivalent. This feature essentially provides a low-speed electric assistance allowing riders to maneuver the bicycle forwards or backwards simply by pressing a button—a perfect solution for navigating challenging off-road terrain as well as effortlessly reversing into city parking spots.

The 2025 Stark Varg EX is anticipated to reach the US market in June, with an estimated starting price of approximately $12,900 USD. 's Jonathon Klein could already be involved in a covert project with the EX, so keep an eye out for updates on that front.

The specifics about the Varg SM have not been officially released yet, but since the news has leaked, we likely won’t have much longer to wait.

Therefore, would these bicycles suit American riders well? Based on our observations until now, there seems to be no reason they shouldn’t. The Varg has demonstrated its capability as a reliable high-performing option, sometimes even surpassing conventional off-road motorcycles. Since the European versions are designed to endure harsh environments typical of motocross circuits and endurance paths, there’s no doubt that they should also perform admirably on U.S. streets and rural terrains.

Specifically, the SM variant might be an exhilarating choice for city dwellers and those who enjoy carving through mountainous terrain during their leisure time. Boasting between 60 to 80 horsepower at your disposal along with immediate electric torque, combined with a chassis engineered for minimal weight, this model appears to be among the most promising electric supermotos currently available.

Honda's Adorable New Naked Sportbike: Big Smarts in a Tiny Package

What do you think about a naked street fighter with an engine capacity under 200cc? Plus, it comes in at less than $2,000.

For quite some time, commuter motorcycles have epitomized practicality at the expense of style—simple, unexciting, and solely designed to transport you from point A to point B. However, recently, an intriguing trend has emerged, especially within the Asian marketplace.

Manufacturers are recognizing that commuter vehicles don't have to be dull. Indeed, these can be fashionable, enjoyable, and perhaps somewhat thrilling. Just consider what Yamaha did with the MT-15 and XSR155 —smaller editions of their mid-size sport bikes. Suzuki is following suit with the GSX-S150 and GSX-R150, which draw inspiration from their larger, more powerful GSX counterparts.

And now, Honda He's back in the game with the 2025 Hornet 2.0 in India.

In terms of design, this vehicle is entirely true to the Honda Hornet lineage.

The title 'Hornet' holds significant importance within Honda's range of models. In Europe, this designation adorns the model. CB750 Hornet and CB1000 Hornet — both suitable for middleweights and litre-class streetfighters. Although the Hornet 2.0 doesn’t come close in terms of performance, it adopts the same assertive design philosophy and presents it as an approachable, user-friendly option for daily use. This is precisely what makes this motorcycle intriguing, particularly within the Indian market context.

The core of the Hornet 2.0 features an 184.40cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine which complies with the updated OBD-2B emissions standards. This powerplant delivers 16.8 horsepower at 8,500 revolutions per minute along with 15.7Nm (or about 11.6 pound-feet) of torque at 6,000rpm. While these figures might seem modest compared to previous models, remember that this bike remains focused on being a reliable daily rider rather than a performance beast designed for racing tracks or mountain passes. Honda has always been renowned for crafting robust motors, and this unit follows suit. The motor comes mated to a 5-speed transmission system and includes a slip-and-assist clutch mechanism, ensuring seamless shifting during urban commutes and swift manoeuvres.

For 2025, the most significant update isn't about the engine or chassis; instead, it's all about technology. The new Honda Hornet 2.0 comes packed with advancements that elevate it towards premium naked bike territory. This model introduces a 4.2-inch TFT screen featuring smartphone integration through Bluetooth, along with support from Honda’s RoadSync application, GPS-based turn-by-turn directions, and notifications for incoming messages. In terms of safety enhancements, you get dual-channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) as well as Honda’s Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)—a sophisticated term for what essentially amounts to traction control—a feature just beginning to gain popularity within this class of motorcycles.

The standout feature of this update is the introduction of a vibrant full-color TFT screen.

What Stops Us From Having Wonderful Things?

• Hold up, why is Canada getting three awesome Honda models you can't find in the US?
• Yamaha has produced one million R15 sport bikes, but they still won’t be available in the United States.

In terms of mechanics, Honda has kept things largely unchanged. The Hornet 2.0 continues to use a diamond-shaped frame, paired with a gold-colored upside-down front fork and a preload-adjustable single shock absorber at the back. Stopping power comes from a pair of discs—276 mm up front and 220 mm out back—with dual-channel anti-lock braking system included. Weighing just 142 kg (313 lbs), this bike remains nimble and manageable for everyday riding. Its 12-liter gas tank ensures good mileage before needing refueling.

Honda has set the price of the Hornet 2.0 at Rs 156,953, equivalent to approximately $1,895 USD. Indeed, you can obtain a genuine, stylish naked motorcycle for less than $2,000. It wouldn’t be surprising if people in the United States were enthusiastic about such an offer. Furthermore, Honda is known for producing motorcycles that consistently perform without issues. The Hornet 2.0 adheres precisely to this standard.
