Honda Pro Racing Debuts Online Magazine

The Honda Pro Racing Line is a fully interactive digital magazine produced by Honda Pro Racing dedicated to Honda athletes in motorcycle sport, whether it’s on paved racetracks, roads (think Isle of Man), or dirt. It takes you inside the fast-moving and colourful world of Honda Pro Racing and brings it all to life on your mobile, tablet or desktop — absolutely free. The premier issue of the digital magazine is focused largely on Honda’s MotoGP, World Endurance and Isle of Man TT teams, with some ink given to HRC’s Dakar contenders as well.

Schwantz School, the ultimate track experience?

If having one-to-one instruction from an ex-MotoGP World Champion is your dream, then why not put the Schwantz School on your Christmas list for 2012. Ok, it’s in America and slightly more expensive than your average track day ($2750 for two days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) but many satisfied customers will argue this is the best rider training experience in the world. Your hard earned Dollar will see you alternate between the classroom and track from 8am until 4pm, then Kevin will take you on a track tour where he explains riding techniques and answers questions (he even drives the bus).

No reason for the color change was announced, though it’s possible the choice is a sign of mourning for the late Marco Simoncelli whose place Bautista is assuming with Gresini.
