The Suzuki That Delivers Premium Ride Quality For Thousands Less Than Ducati

The sport-touring motorcycle segment has a pricing tier where Italian badges command a significant premium over Japanese counterparts. Part of the reason is that this niche breed of ADV-styled, sport-touring machines, lately referred to as “crossovers”, have seen a more aggressive influx by the Japanese compared to European manufacturers. While it may seem like a game of catch-up, the Japanese have been quietly bumping up the tech and bringing down the pricing at the same time. What this usually means is that a large pricing gap either buys something exotic or simply gets you a cheaper replacement. Working out which one to choose requires looking at what actually determines the quality of tech being translated over distances, rather than peak output figures, which are fairly within a level playing field and don’t justify a massive price gap. What Riders Actually Pay For When A Sport-Tourer Costs More Than $30,000 Premium pricing in this segment generally rests on four pillars that include electronic suspension, chassis hardware with a credible performance lineage, an electronics suite deep enough to cover every riding condition, and luggage that comes in the box. In essence, this mix creates a luxury sport-touring machine, and when all four are present, a high asking price is defensible. When only one or two are present, and the rest is a premium tax on badge value, the math starts to look askew. The long-distance rider evaluates a bike by what it asks of them throughout the ride and, at the end of the day, rather than what it promises at the start, will find that worth scrutinizing. Reliability is necessary, too.

Mahindra wins Monaco E Prix

Mahindra Racing returned to the top step of the Formula E podium, with Nyck de Vries winning the Monaco E Prix. This marks the Indian team’s first victory in nearly five years (the last one was at the 2021 London E Prix) and well as its first win in the Gen 3 era. Jaguar’s Mitch Evans crossed the line in second place to take the drivers’ championship lead. Cupra Kiro’s Pepe Marti finished third, securing his very first Formula E podium. - De Vries wins, 2.677 sec ahead of Evans - Secures Mahindra’s first Formula E win in Gen 3 era - Marti scores maiden podium Nyck de Vries wins Monaco E Prix for Mahindra Starting from P2 on the grid, de Vries held position off the line behind polesitter Dan Ticktum. The Mahindra driver was one of the first few to take his Pit Boost stop. That ended being a race-winning strategy as Ticktum re-joined the grid behind de Vries after this stop. De Vries then smartly timed his Attack Mode to pass Antonio Felix da Costa and take the race lead on Lap 20. He held that lead to the chequered flag to secure his first win with Mahindra. “I’m very happy. Monaco is a special place. It’s my home. To do that together with Mahindra, and to give them the reward they deserve is just incredible. We’ve been very strong today. We’ve had a tough time until this point in the season, so it’s nice to bounce back and score maximum points for the team,” said de Vries. “We’ve had some challenges so far this season and we haven’t really been able to show what we’re capable of. Today it all came together, and it just felt like it was the perfect day and place to do

Max Verstappen's team targets Nürburgring win as 'Green Hell' verdict delivered

Max Verstappen’s team targets Nürburgring win as ‘Green Hell’ verdict delivered Verstappen Racing is hoping the Nürburgring Nordschleife will “take care of us”, as Max Verstappen’s team has outlined its targets for the 24-hour race. The Dutch driver joins Daniel Juncadella, Lucas Auer, and Jules Gounon as the four-man squad racing the Mercedes-AMG GT3 for the Verstappen Racing entry. Max Verstappen’s Nürburgring team outlines 24-hour race ambitions Want more PlanetF1.com coverage? Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trust. While Juncadella, Auer, and Gounon are all experienced endurance sports car racers, Verstappen is taking part in his first blue riband endurance event at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. His squad lines up in fourth place on the grid, with Juncadella having taken care of the crucial runs in the defining Top Qualifying 3 session on Friday – the Spanish driver will also be the man behind the wheel for the first stint. With Verstappen opting against any media interviews or opportunities this weekend, his teammates have been bearing the weight of the interest surrounding the entry and, on Friday evening, PlanetF1.com had the chance to speak with both Juncadella and Gounon in the Verstappen Racing garage. With a decent grid position secured for the start of the endurance race, the car is undoubtedly one of the contenders for the outright victory, even with Verstappen’s inexperience at events of this type. His endurance preparations have consisted of a series of four-hour events in recent months, with his attempt at gaining nighttime experience at the NLS5 last month called off due to the cancellation of the race following the tragic fatal accident involving Juha Miettinen, although he managed some time behind the wheel in the wet and dark conditions in Qualifying 2 on Thursday

Ford reveals its most patriotic car yet

There are a handful of cars which symbolise the excess of the US, and the Ford Mustang GTD is one of them. From its supercharged V8 engine to its aggressive looks, it already stands as the flagship of Ford’s model lineup – though don’t mention that it’s actually made in Canada. In preparation for America’s upcoming semiquincentennial, Ford has changed up the already patriotic Mustang GTD ‘Spirit of America’, tweaking its white, red and blue livery for the country’s 250th birthday. Named after the land speed record-setting jet-powered vehicles driven by Craig Breedlove, the Mustang GTD Spirit of America was first revealed in October, wearing a simple white livery with a red and blue racing stripe over the top. In its latest form, an asymmetrical livery now adorns the powerful pony car, with a central blue stripe stretching from the front to the rear bumpers, while a thicker blue and red stripe flank it, starting at the bonnet vents and ending on the boot. All Mustang GTD Spirit of Americas are fitted with the optional Performance Package, adding more aerodynamic parts which have helped the Ford become one of the fastest production cars around the Nürburgring. The Ford Mustang GTD is powered by a 5.2-litre supercharged V8 engine, producing 600kW and driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transaxle. Underneath the aggressive bodywork is double-wishbone front suspension and pushrod rear suspension, connected to 20-inch wheels with Michelin Cup 2 tyres, and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes.
