Kawasaki W650 Gold Digger

I'm a sucker for a W, so when the boys from Ton Up Garage in Portugal sent through their latest Kawasaki W650 build I had no option but to share it. Shop owners Pedro and Daniel are avid off road enduro riders and had wanted to build a Tracker style custom for some time. They wanted a bike that would deliver just as many grins off the road as it could on, so when they got their hands on an lightly modified '04 W650 they knew that time had come. I'll let the Ton Up Garage guys take it from here...

WSBK: 2012 Magny-Cours Results – Championship Decided by Half a Point

You would think carrying a 30.5 point lead into the final round of the 2012 World Superbike Championship would be a safe enough margin to win the title. Aprilia‘s Max Biaggi made it interesting, inexplicably crashing out of the first race at the finale in Magny-C0urs before scoring a fifth place finish in Race Two to give him a 0.5 point margin over Kawasaki‘s Tom Sykes to win the title.
 



















The 358 to 357.5 point difference is the narrowest finish ever in WSBK. The final round capped off a season that saw Biaggi leading the points chase nearly the entire campaign despite looking very vulnerable at times through the season.
“This is the fourth world championship out of six that I have won at the final race, I seem to like difficult challenges!” says Biaggi.
