This is Benjamin – Min to friends and fans – Grau at the 1975 24 Horas race.Ducati had a long history of successes racing singles at Monjuich Park and entered the new V-twin in 1973 ridden by Grau and Salvador Canellas - and scored a debut victory! The '73 bike used the '73 750 Imola's 86mm bore cylinders together with the standard stroke for a capacity of 864cc. The 750's 60 degree heads and dry clutch were also used. In 1974 a gearbox problem caused the same pairing to retire while in the lead after 16 hours but they won again the following year, beating the Godier Genoud Kawasaki by 13 laps. New, narrower sand-cast crankcases perched in a lightweight Daspa frame, and capacity was raised to 905cc to give 96bhp at 9,000rpm. Grau and Virginio Ferrari also won the 1000km race at Mugello that year.

Grau’s critics might point to the fact that he entered more races at Montjuich Park than any other rider, so of course he has the most wins. But then Montjuich Park also hosted world championship Grands Prix, so the names that slip in above him visited just once a year — names that included Stanley Woods, Tarquinio Provini, Carlo Ubbiali, Bill Ivy... and Phil Read. Phil's name deserves highlighting because he's the only rider, beside Grau, that I can recall winning a 24 hour endurance event as well as a 125 world championship race. For Grau hasn't just won the 24 Horas at Montjuich Park, aboard a 905cc Ducati bevel twin, a 1980s 748cc TTI, and even a Bultaco 360cc two-stroke: in 1974, when Montjuich Park still hosted the Spanish Grand Prix, Derbi found him a 125, just like multiple world champion Angel Nieto's bike. Grau won.

2024 Start!

A happy new year. Thank you for your continued support this year.

Over the past two or three years, things haven't been progressing as planned, so I'm trying to figure out the cause and gradually changing the way things are done through trial and error, but there are still issues to be solved. This year, I'm thinking of going back to basics and moving forward.

This blog is also a process of trial and error, and I'm thinking of taking a little more time to write various articles this year.

This time I'll be posting things that I've carried over from last year, but that I plan to write about in the future.

First up is Fujimi's Diablo SV MY96. This will be made using the SE30jota conversion kit, which was scheduled to be released last year but is now scheduled to be released this month a little later.

Next is Fujimi's Diablo, but this is a normal version that is still available. Since SV MY96 is not available, I will combine it with this kit and make it as SE30.

This is Abarth 124GT released last year. I will also make this in conjunction with Tamiya's Roadster.

This is the Gallardo Superleggera, which was also released last year. I will make it together with Fujimi's Gallardo.

Aoshima's Huracan is his Performante. This is planned to be a Huracan/Technica, and I'm currently making parts, but it's quite different from the Performante, so it's likely to be a conversion kit that requires some cutting and pasting.

This is a bike I'm building as a hobby.

It's one of the kits I bought when I was in high school but couldn't make properly, and it's a 1/8 Heller Kawasaki 1000 Godier Genoud that I bought last year for revenge.

I received a wheel from Mr. O, who was the reason I returned to bike modeling last year, so I'm going to make it.

This is Hasegawa's Mach III, which I am currently making mainly. Like SR, I will be making this bike for Kurusu, who appears in Tokkou no Taku.

There are many other things I want to make and things I want, but these are the ones I'd like to start with.

``Tokkou no Taku'', which has been republished two volumes a month since last year, will reach its final volume this year, so I'm going to try making a bike that I wanted to make at the time but couldn't due to my technical skills.

I hope this year will be a better year for everyone.

Please support us in producing the kit.

Georges Monneret known as " Jojo La Moto " will break many records with a competition version of the 1000.It is the "George Monneret Records", which loses 2 of its 4 exhaust pipes in passing and receives a parallelogram fork and a second carburetor. It came out in 1935 and produced up to 78 hp (!) In its most advanced version powered by alcohol. A common practice in the mechanical sports of the time. It will be timed at more than 200 km / h. This machine will retire in 1951.So passed under the thumb of Monet-Goyon, we will find the name of Koehler-Escoffier on small utilities after the Second World War before his disappearance in 1957.Through technical choices that are always "noble" or avant-garde, their performance, the Koehler-Escoffier remains the witness of French excellence in terms of two-wheeled motorized vehicles as will be the Martin and Godier-Genoud in the 70s -80.The “Record Georges Monneret” can be considered as the French counterpart to the Vincent , Brough Superior , BMW 500 Compressor or Moto Guzzi V8. Just that !

Deus Stone Tracker: The first ‘official’ custom Z900RS

Some new bikes are dropped into the market and left to fend for themselves, but not the Z900RS. The moto press hasn’t even tested the new Zed yet, but a couple of pre-production models have been hiding in Deus’ Sydney workshop for a few weeks now.

Right here is the first factory sanctioned Z900RS: an edgy, muscular custom called ‘Stone Tracker,’ revealed a few hours ago in Australia.

Kawasaki reached out to Deus about three months ago, several weeks before the Z900RS was made public. It’s the first time Deus’ star builder Jeremy Tagand has worked with Team Green, but it’s a neat loop in his career: 20 years ago, Jeremy was an apprentice at the famous French Kawasaki dealer Technic Moto.

His bosses were Pierre Briane and Patrick Long, who cut their teeth running the workshop of Godier Genoud, the legendary endurance racing team of the 1970s.

“The brief was pretty vague at the start,” Jeremy recalls. “They wanted two very different builds based on the Z900RS. Then the discussions became real, and we were given guidelines. A tracker version was on the cards.”

A pre-production Z900RS arrived at Deus, and Jeremy and designer Saxon Shing started researching possibilities. “I gave Saxon lots of ideas and photos of what I wanted to build, what was in my mind. Saxon produced a perfect render that I could work with.”

When manufacturers give new bikes to builders to modify, they usually prefer the bones of the bike to stay standard. Kawasaki was no different. “They wanted a strong ‘Deus’ feel to the build, but retaining a lot of the stock features.”

So Jeremy concentrated on the bodywork—fashioning a new tail and seat unit, plus a headlight nacelle, using 2-millimeter aluminum alloy. “Lots of drawing, cutting to size, welding and cleaning up the welds to get a perfect, clean edge.”

The trick was to get the proportion and size of those parts just right—enough to stand out and look clearly ‘custom,’ but also blend in with the build. The tank is unchanged, but the side panels are tweaked to fit the new seat and tail unit, which is upholstered with black Alcantara.

Up front, there’s a high-mounted one-off fender, with ample clearance for the Metzeler Karoo 3 tires.

Many of the alloy parts on the Z900RS have been sandblasted, to give a ‘raw’ look—including the 17” wheels. “Something a little brutal, with texture,” says Jeremy.

He’s also etched the engine cases with the Kawasaki ‘river mark’—a traditional symbol dating back to the 19th century when Shozo Kawasaki was running a shipping business. It’s a symbol that will be familiar to owners of older Kawasakis and the recent H2.

Deus had carte blanche with the exhaust system, so they’ve installed a stunning 4-into-2-into-1 system from MotoGP suppliers SC Project. Kawasaki did a good job to keep the bulk of the standard system down, but this one’s even peachier.

The cockpit has been slimmed down too, with street necessities gone and a set of lovely old Tommaselli wide bars installed. This is going to be a promo bike, so despite the angular headlight surround and twin LED lamps, the street legal gear isn’t required.

It’s a cracking start to what we’re guessing will be a long line of Z900RS customs in the years to come. But there’s one big question that needs answering—what’s the Zed like to ride?

Although Jeremy was working with precious pre-production models of the Z900RS, he couldn’t resist taking the bike out for a discreet spin. “I was very impressed,” he says. “It has the heritage of the inline-4 engine, and the suspension and ‘feel’ of the bike was great. It has a very sweet power delivery too—it felt very light, even though it’s a decent-sized motorcycle.”

Time to form an orderly queue…
