Get ready to welcome the recent era with a capacity of 800cc MotoGP race in 2011. Since the 2012 MotoGP engine capacity will use 1.000cc. But it seems the top teams did not dampen their intent in developing motor package for the final season of 800cc era. Even the big teams like Yamaha and Ducati will make a major reshuffle their motor package.
If Ducati did a major reshuffle since the presence of Valentino Rossi, Yamaha even make radical changes to make their motors become more ferocious. Even according to Ramo Forcada, Jorge Lorenzo’s head mechanic, that Yamaha will make major modifications to the Yamaha YZR-M1, is no exception to the machine.
Based on the data we get from the test results in Valencia some time ago, many changes were going to do on the Yamaha M1. Based on the results of our discussions, almost all parts of this bike will be amended. Chassis parts, engine systems, aerodynamics, electrical systems, suspension, until the braking system, a prime target for changes to the M1. Clear all matters relating to the performance of this bike, we will do a big change, obviously Ramon Forcada.
What is clear is that the changes they do later in the Yamaha M1, not only to practice the skill in the mechanical Yamaha held a total change in an existing concept. But they also demanded ready to make the Yamaha engines became more ready, when 1.000cc already entered the era of the upcoming 2012 season.

Picture of Suzuki’s R & D Department, which shows just how effective swoopy fairing and tail section of the droop in the air stream passes efisient ridernya ..
Ducati … also menarapkan the same thing to create an aerodynamic fairing for the problem .. although this is not a thing that could make the motor ducati be the best in MotoGP
The following video (koplak version: mrgreen:)
Well if that is Moto2
Up where the influence of a motorcycle racing aerodynamics affect performance? … If the F1 cars are very influential at all … as traction not let the car “fly” …
There are several advantages that can be drawn from the motor aerodynamic fairing design .. such as by an increase in top speed, and comfort while bulldoze the corner … motors with tapered design will be easier to reach top speed but it will be difficult if bulldoze the bend in the high-speed motor with reverse .. rounded design will swiftly around the corner … and according to the aerodynamic design of the study could direct the flow of cooling air for the benefit of the machine so that more optimal engine work ..
Season 2010 MotoGP Ducati Desmosedici race less competitive and so the results are less satisfactory bertaji although Casey Stoner was able to steal the podium in several series.
Without Stoner Ducati MotoGP 2011, the return is phenomenal Valentino Rossi, a duet with Nicky Hayden.
The Italian manufacturer, last night (12 / 1), introduces a new ride called the Ducati Desmosedici GP11.
This bike is formulated as the Ducati Corse Filippo Preziosi Director. He revealed, in addition to the new design, there are technical touches like aerodynamics and engine.
“The main change is in the machine, designed for better torque. While the aerodynamic changes aimed at reducing friction so as to obtain maximum speed, “says Preziosi.
“The chassis and swing arm has a different stiffness. Special to the test in Sepang will be no special specification in suspension, “adds Preziosi.
In addition there will be a test for anti-wheelie and traction control will be performed at the Jerez circuit on January 17 to 19 by two Ducati test rider, Vittoriano Guareschi and Franco Battaini.
“Rossi also give the right input and is able to maintain the cohesiveness of the team. Besides input from Jeremy Buergues very helpful, too,
