The BMW sport motorcycle has more power and less weight with each generation.
Both the R1200RT and R1200ST arrived in the United States in the spring of 2005.
The R1200ST weighs in just below 573 pounds for good performance on long and
short rides.
Powersports Oil Filter for BMW Motorcycles
The new sport tourer adventure bikes were developed to be supported by the drive
train, innovative chassis elements and all the modern technologies of the
R1200GS.
K&N Engineering has just released a Powersports Oil Filter (KN-164) for the BMW R1200ST, BMW R1200RT, BMW R1200GS, K1200S and BMW HP2.
"K&N's Powersports Oil Filters have a high quality man made synthetic media,"
said K&N Powersports Brand Manager John Jump. "If you use your adventure bike
riding across the Sahara or on surface streets K&N Powersports Oil Filters
(KN-164) provide outstanding oil filtration at high flow rates keeping your
motor running clean and smooth."
All K&N 'spin-on' oil filters feature a heavy-duty metal can with a 17mm nut
attached to the end that allows for easy installation and removal.

Italian Grand Prix winner Jason Crump is fighting against time as he prepares
for the Scandinavian round of the 2006 FIM Speedway Grand Prix World
Championship at Malilla in Sweden on August 12.
The world champion leader is seeing a leading British sports physiotherapist who
specializes in treating foot injuries for athletes.
Jason Crump 16-time Grand Prix Champion
“I have been receiving treatment on a daily basis and the results are
encouraging,” said Crump. “My heel is heavily bandaged and there is still quite
a lot of pain particularly when I walk. The treatment has accelerated the
healing process considerably and it is getting better every day. I hope by the
end of the week I’ll be back to full fitness.”
Crump rode despite pain from a severe ankle injury at Longio, Italy and extended
his lead in the World Championship to 57 points.
The Australian Ace uses K&N Engineering products. “I love K&N products, the K&N Filters are the best in the world,” said Crump. “I have solely used K&N products
and never had a problem. K&N is the best for dirt track racing.”
With six of the ten rounds completed in the series, the 16-time Grand Prix
winner said he wants things to go as well in the second half and they did for
him in the first half.

Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki’s Jason Pridmore, Steve Rapp and Jake Holden
were impressive at the AMA Superbike double-header weekend at Mid-Ohio Sports
Car Course in Lexington.
During the two day event there were multiple top-10 finishes. The Jordan-Suzuki
Team posted fast laps in Superbike qualifying on Saturday. Pridmore (1:26.160)
led the way, taking the sixth spot on the starting grid. Holden (1:27.037)
qualified in the 10th spot and Rapp (1:27.327) took 13th position.
Holden had the most consistent showing with two top-10 finishes, 7th on
Saturday and 9th on Sunday. “We struggled some with set-up issues in Saturday’s
race, but we knew exactly what we needed for Sunday,” said Holden. “I felt
confident about both races and that helped me run up front in the Superstock
race.”
Rapp finished a strong 6th on Saturday, but was unable to race Sunday.
“Saturday’s race was good. The bike was running well and I got a good start,” he
said. “On Sunday, I high-sided in the Superstock race but I’m okay.”
Pridmore came home in 6th place on Sunday. “It was awesome to be running with
the guys up front,” said Pridmore. “We have made so much progress with the bike
and we’re finally where we should be.”
Jordan Suzuki uses K&N Engineering Filters. “K&N Filters keep the dirt out of
our engines,” said Ken Abbot of Jordan Suzuki. “Our engines breathe better and
we get more horsepower.”
Normally the team is in the top five, but a few guys were hurt over the
weekend, said Abbot. “The guys are training again and getting ready for the next
race,” he said. “Michael Jordan has always been a motorsports enthusiast. This
team started because he wanted to help one rider fulfill a dream.” The Legendary
NBA star formed the team in 2004 as a result of his passion for motorcycle
racing. His mission is to bring a new level of excellence and style to the
motorcycle racing industry.
The Jordan Suzuki Team will compete in the ninth round of AMA Superbike at
Virginia International Raceway in Alton, Virginia on August 18 and 19.

Brainerd, Minnesota is considered by many racers to be one of the favorite stops
on the NHRA POWERtour. It has beautiful scenery, friendly fans and an atmosphere
that is unique to this rural race track in the middle of nowhere.
Minnesota’s largest motorsports event will take place at Brainerd International
Raceway with more than $500,000 in prize money. John Force, Larry Dixon, Cory
McClenathan, Gary Sceizi and other superstars will converge on this annual
event.
Phil Burkart's CSK Funny Car
Phil Burkart said he will enjoy all of those attributes when he returns to
Brainerd for this weekend’s Lucas Oil Nationals. The driver of the blue Checker,
Schuck’s Kragen Monte Carlo Funny Car has put this stop at the top of his list
for personal reasons. At Brainerd, Burkart resurrected his career and a lifetime
full of dreams came true.
In 2003, Burkart was a licensed Funny Car driver working in his family-owned
automotive shop in upstate New York. As the Brainerd race approached, Burkart
could count only 34 race appearances in more than five seasons. Of those, 16
ended early with a DNQ, as Burkart’s various low-budget teams struggled to
compete. Then, Del Worsham called.
“Del and his team were running three cars at the time, with Arnie Karp driving
the black car, and Arnie got hurt at home right before the Brainerd race,” said
Burkart. “About 24 hours later, I was on a plane for Minneapolis, pretty wound
up that I was getting a chance to drive such a good car, for such a great team.
Brainerd was like the Taj Mahal and I was walking on red carpets. The whole
weekend was a bit of a blur, but it was awesome.”
This was an opportunity for Burkart to prove to every team owner in the business
that he could drive. “We managed to qualify at Brainerd and Indianapolis, when
more shocking news came my way,” he said. “Johnny Gray, who had been driving the
blue CSK car, called it quits after Indy and Del told me I was going to the blue
team. In two weeks, I’d gone from sitting at home to driving the blue CSK car.”
Three years later, Burkart is heading back to Brainerd. “The first trip, in
2003, may have been a total blur, but I’ve enjoyed this race every year since
then,” he said. “It’s all about great memories, a great place, great fans and a
great race. On top of that, it’s like an anniversary for me every time I come
here. I raced from 1998 to 2003, and even won a Wally doing it that way, but my
real career started in Brainerd.”
Phil Burkart on NHRA POWERtour
The 2006 season has been full of frustrating turns and unhappy endings.
For Burkart, getting back to the good luck in Brainerd cannot hurt.
“You know the dream where you’re trying to get somewhere, but you just aren’t
going fast enough and you can’t quite get there? In a lot of ways our season has
been like that. It started well, and our confidence was sky high, but then the
gremlins came and the thousandths of a second started going the other way. We
need a good outing, and we need to get back on the positive side of the close
races. I really thing we are going to do well this weekend, I can feel it.”
Burkart uses K&N Engineering Oil Filters during the NHRA Racing Season. “The K&N Filter is easy to install, we literally spin it on with one hand and tighten
it,” said Team Worsham Manager Bob Wilber. “The K&N Filter is absolutely optimal
for the demands our race cars face.”

Speed Week is back at Bonneville Speedway in the Bonneville Salt Flats near
Wendover, Utah and land speed records are waiting to be broken. Each year the
venue is marked with a broad black line down its center by the Utah State
Highway Department.
Two tracks are usually prepared; a 10 mile long straightaway for speed trials
and an oval or circular track for distance runs, which is typically between 10
to 12 miles depending on the salt surface conditions. Eight riders from the
Falkner Livingston Team (FL) are on the Speed Week agenda.
Paul and Becca Livingston
Jason McVicar of the FL Racing Team wants to dominate the Salt Flats by
breaking the top record of 259 mph on the long distance course. He is part of
the prestigious 200 mph club member at Bonneville, El Mirage and Maxton. McVicar
is also one of only five people to set 6 records on one bike at Bonneville’s
Speed Week in its 56 year racing history.
“There is a strategy to the long course,” said FL Assistant Team Manager Becca
Livingston. “On the course riders have to figure out how to peak their speed
during the third, fourth and fifth miles, which are the timed. It means they
have to go two miles before they reach maximum speeds.”
Marks and cones indicate the end of the track and the position of timing
equipment on the measured mile. The event is organized by The Southern
California Timing Association and Bonneville Nationals Inc.
“We are mounting tires, and checking everything,” said Livingston. “The data
acquisition on our bikes is a key element on our tuning for the salts.
Conditions are so variable it can be 70 degrees in the morning and 110 a few
hours later.”
Falkner Livingston is running motorcycles in the 1650cc, 1350cc, 750cc and
650cc. Paul Livingston set the new 750 APS-F Record at El Mirage in May 2006 and
a new 1650 P/P Record at El Mirage in July 2006. “We use K&N Engineering Oil and
Air Filters on all our motorcycles,” said Livingston. “Salt gets everywhere;
it’s similar to table salt, really fine granules. “Salt storms invade our
motorcycles, but with K&N no salt whatsoever gets into our engines.”
FL Racing Team Readies for Bonneville
There are reportedly a record number of entrants of motorcycles and cars
for 2006. “It gets bigger every year,” said Livingston. “I booked this trip on
January 5th and could only get two rooms on only three nights for 20 people for
one week. We are bringing our sleeping bags this year. We start on Saturday and
are off the salt by 3pm on Friday. We’ll be tired and dirty but it is going to
be another adventure.”
