The new drysdale V8 motorcycle, developed in response to the new rules that will allow four strokes to compete in the Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing, is nearing completion, with pictures of the cruiser version released (albiet with the 750cc motor, rather than the still in development 1000cc motor).
Check out these sites which have more information on the Drysdale, other wild bikes, and the Changes that the four strokes will bring to the Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing.
Having just recently bought a little Z50 for the kids, I started searching the 'net for some information on the little beasties.
Well, I knew that the 150 models were becomming popular, but what do you know, the Z50, XR50 and that sized bike is having a massive resurgence as well!

Joel Smets has taken out his third successive Beaucaire International Motocross in dominant style. With 1st, 1st and 3rd results, nobody else really came close. A crash in the final Moto relegated him to third, stopping him from totally dominating the rest of the field.
Andrea Bartonlini grabbed second overall with a consistent effort, and Pit Beirer was third.
At Round 8 of the US Supercross in 2002, Ricky Carmichael is still on fire. After a lacklustre start to the season, Ricky has sucked it up, and gone on to win four races this year, but rival David Vullemin has been on the podium every race, with a consistency that still sees him the points leader. Jeremy McGrath had his best result so far this season, with a third place. Mike LaRocco still holds third place in the championship, despite being out with a wrist injury.
Daryl Hurley jumped to the top of the points in the 250 class of the Australian Supercross Masters when Cameron Taylor won the rain delayed round 3 on the 23rd.
By finishing runner up, Hurley has extended his lead over Craig Anderson, who is his nearest competition so far this year.
Troy Carroll continued his good form, taking 2 wins from three starts to sneak in front of Troy Dorron in the series standings.
