FWIW This is the first BMW plant to assemble both Cages and Motorrad at this plant making this a motorcycle story. Motorcycles assembled here will make their way to the Asia market and most importantly the India market. Plans for the Chennai India BMW cage plant precluded converting that plant to a combined plant. Trade relations take the cost down making this a viable option to supply India instead of a new Motorrad specific assembly plant in India similar to the one in Manaus Brazil.

I miss the 750cc class of sport bikes. They were the Goldilocks sportbike size for me. If I were the benevolent dictator of BMW models, I would have greenlighted it years ago. Then, as BMW has, I would turn my attention to the 400cc and under segment bringing R and GS models online and would go one step further adding a G310RR.

Those who look back fondly on the Cagiva brand will be happy to hear that it will be officially revived as a motorcycle brand, with models set to debut later this year, for the 2019 model year. Before you envision a modern take on the Cagiva
FWIW Read this article with more than a good bit of caution. Is this a true announcement of an effort to develop an electric line of motorcycles branded with the Cagiva marque, or a troll to gauge the value Cagiva name? Would resurrecting the brand while developing an E-MC make sense for a parent company? Are their other options to consider? The Castiglioni family are masters at using press releases for public consumption touting development of a product when their intention was to advertise to manufacturers they have a company or marque for sale.
In an adventure bike world the Cagiva Elephanthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagiva comes quickly to mind. But the Mitohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagiva_Mito line were great handling, elegant looking 500cc and below sport bikes valued on the Continent. Would partnering with an motorcycle company from India wanting to invade Europe make more sense? Most are developing urban focused EMC to meet the demand in India while already having ICE lines in the home sub 500cc market.
Rebranding their ICE lines by scooping up or sharing the Cagiva brand would give them instant cache and cash to the Castiglioni family to spend on the MV Agusta line.

FWIW I wouldn’t have bid on this motorcycle. This is my least favorite era of motorcycle design. Honda had the Hurricane, Ducati gave us the Paso, and others followed.

Cagiva Will Be Resurrected…As An Electric Brandhttps://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/cagiva-resurrected-as-electric-brand/

Those who look back fondly on the Cagiva brand will be happy to hear that it will be officially revived as a motorcycle brand, with models set to debut later this year, for the 2019 model year. Before you envision a modern take on the Cagiva
FWIW Read this article with more than a good bit of caution. Is this a true announcement of an effort to develop an electric line of motorcycles branded with the Cagiva marque, or a troll to gauge the value Cagiva name? Would resurrecting the brand while developing an E-MC make sense for a parent company? Are their other options to consider? The Castiglioni family are masters at using press releases for public consumption touting development of a product when their intention was to advertise to manufacturers they have a company or marque for sale.
In an adventure bike world the Cagiva Elephanthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagiva comes quickly to mind. But the Mitohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagiva_Mito line were great handling, elegant looking 500cc and below sport bikes valued on the Continent. Would partnering with an motorcycle company from India wanting to invade Europe make more sense? Most are developing urban focused EMC to meet the demand in India while already having ICE lines in the home sub 500cc market.
Rebranding their ICE lines by scooping up or sharing the Cagiva brand would give them instant cache and cash to the Castiglioni family to spend on the MV Agusta line.

F1 rules limiting potential fixes for halo's TV effecthttps://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/halo-onboard-tv-fix-rulebook-1017810/
100+Motorsport.com - Formula 1 - Stories / 3d
The FIA Technical Regulations state that "all cars must be equipped with four positions in which cameras or camera housings can be fitted.
FWIW Pundits and fans need to get over the hallo. In a matter of laps, both in free practice and the race, the impact of the halo on viewers quickly disappeared. In short order I found myself bouncing back and forth from TV coverage and the F1 app on my iPad engaged in racing.
Frustration haunts me as the weekend disappears into memory and I look forward to the coming weekend’s events. The frustration has nothing to do with the buck toothed look of the halo on elegant F1 cars filling the field. Rather, it has everything to do with the cost benefit analysis, based on 2018 FIA F1 rules, that took place in the Mercedes pit.
My inner race strategist and team principal keeps channeling Sir Frank WIlliam. In the heat of the battle he cared nothing for Driver Championships, F1 pilot vanity, or the desires of fans. It was all about winning the Constructors Championship. To do that, in the 2018 three engine season, short term individual race decisions will be distasteful but must be made for the primary season goal of a constructor championship.
The businessman inside of me understands the desire of Liberty and the FIA to work toward field parity for more competitive racing in the pack. Containing costs for the teams populating those grid spots over the season is key for their survival. All this time the lifelong F1 in me is screaming “Why, Why, WHY!” as if I were Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire screaming “Stella”.
Why has the FIA given drivers and fans one of the safest cars ever to take out on the track and engage in wheel to wheel competition only to rip the racing passion this weekend with an economic algorithm?
Why do they think great back marker racing will bring fans out of bed in the middle the night to watch a cost effective parade at the front in the closing laps?
WHY were we deprived of two four time world champions, with great respect but little love loss between them, in elegant buck toothed race cars from two of the premier all time F1 teams going wheel to wheel in an epic battle worthy of comparison to the legendary battles of Prost and Senna.
Excuse me. I need to wretch.

F1 rules limiting potential fixes for halo's TV effecthttps://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/halo-onboard-tv-fix-rulebook-1017810/
100+Motorsport.com - Formula 1 - Stories / 3d
The FIA Technical Regulations state that "all cars must be equipped with four positions in which cameras or camera housings can be fitted.
FWIW Pundits and fans need to get over the hallo. In a matter of laps, both in free practice and the race, the impact of the halo on viewers quickly disappeared. In short order I found myself bouncing back and forth from TV coverage and the F1 app on my iPad engaged in racing.
Frustration haunts me as the weekend disappears into memory and I look forward to the coming weekend’s events. The frustration has nothing to do with the buck toothed look of the halo on elegant F1 cars filling the field. Rather, it has everything to do with the cost benefit analysis, based on 2018 FIA F1 rules, that took place in the Mercedes pit.
My inner race strategist and team principal keeps channeling Sir Frank WIlliam. In the heat of the battle he cared nothing for Driver Championships, F1 pilot vanity, or the desires of fans. It was all about winning the Constructors Championship. To do that, in the 2018 three engine season, short term individual race decisions will be distasteful but must be made for the primary season goal of a constructor championship.
The businessman inside of me understands the desire of Liberty and the FIA to work toward field parity for more competitive racing in the pack. Containing costs for the teams populating those grid spots over the season is key for their survival. All this time the lifelong F1 in me is screaming “Why, Why, WHY!” as if I were Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire screaming “Stella”.
Why has the FIA given drivers and fans one of the safest cars ever to take out on the track and engage in wheel to wheel competition only to rip the racing passion this weekend with an economic algorithm?
Why do they think great back marker racing will bring fans out of bed in the middle the night to watch a cost effective parade at the front in the closing laps?
WHY were we deprived of two four time world champions, with great respect but little love loss between them, in elegant buck toothed race cars from two of the premier all time F1 teams going wheel to wheel in an epic battle worthy of comparison to the legendary battles of Prost and Senna.
Excuse me. I need to wretch.

I suspect the root of the problem is with the software and platform I currently use to assemble the thread. Similar issues have started cropping up in another setting which I use the same combination to put out work. I am migrating that setting to another combination that appears to have fewer or no glitches. When that task full tested and done I will do the same here.

Concern for motorcycles in car-free zoneshttps://motorbikewriter.com/concern-for-motorcycles-in-car-free-zones/
15Motorbike Writer / 1d
A Victorian rider group has called for motorcycles and scooters to be included in proposed car-free zones in Melbourne . The City of Melbourne has just released two transport discussion papers which include suggestions for car-free zones or “superblocks”, less on-street parking and less footpath clutter.
Concerned with a lack of rider consultation, the Independent Riders Group is worried that motorcycles will also be excluded from the zones and that current free footpath parking might be in jeopardy.
FWIW Motorcyclists ignore developments in autonomous vehicles, public transportation, urban planning at their peril. Developments in these areas have a logic and can yield very desirable outcomes. However, if the MC community does not speak out our beloved form of two wheeled transport can, at best, be severely limited in the ways it will help in meeting these needs and goals; or, completely removed from the solution mix.

Concern for motorcycles in car-free zoneshttps://motorbikewriter.com/concern-for-motorcycles-in-car-free-zones/
15Motorbike Writer / 1d
A Victorian rider group has called for motorcycles and scooters to be included in proposed car-free zones in Melbourne . The City of Melbourne has just released two transport discussion papers which include suggestions for car-free zones or “superblocks”, less on-street parking and less footpath clutter.
Concerned with a lack of rider consultation, the Independent Riders Group is worried that motorcycles will also be excluded from the zones and that current free footpath parking might be in jeopardy.
FWIW Motorcyclists ignore developments in autonomous vehicles, public transportation, urban planning at their peril. Developments in these areas have a logic and can yield very desirable outcomes. However, if the MC community does not speak out our beloved form of two wheeled transport can, at best, be severely limited in the ways it will help in meeting these needs and goals; or, completely removed from the solution mix.
