The Italian unique motorcycle

Actually, this bike has been there since the mid-2014, but because of its unique so aroused my curiosity to find out more details of this motorcycle. This bike is made in Bimota, an Italian motorcycle manufacturer that established in 1973 in Rimini, and initially building high-quality motorcycles with Honda, Suzuki, and Kawasaki engines.

Some time ago Bimota introduced their latest sport bike, the Bimota Tesi 3D Naked. The sport motorcycle performed with an aggressive design and have unusual designs like motorcycle sport in general.

The most striking look as well as unique form of the Bimota sport bike can be seen on the front suspension that appeared to applied the cantilever system that is very different than the motorcycle that using telescopic forks.

The cantilever swing arm made of the pipe is also seen to be supported by the monoshock adjustable compression that could be adjusted its height. As for the front-wheel steering uses the push-road like car steering system.

And for the rear legs also look more muscular with the presence of the swing-arm made of pipe material that also reinforces its naked bike character. The rear swing arm is also supported by the monoshock adjustable compression as the front.

Not only that, Bimota also equip this new sport bike with 2 lighter aluminum rims which have a diameter of 17 inch and wrapped with tires sized 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 for the rear.

To stop this sport bike, Bimota also pinned double disc that has a diameter of 320 mm wrapped with 4-piston caliper for the front wheels, and diameter of 220 mm with 2-piston caliper on the back, both grabbed by Brembo calipers.

Bimota Tesi 3D Naked bike using a 90°L twin-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with a capacity of 1,078 cc which combined with a four-speed transmission system. This machine is already applying injection technology is capable of spraying up to 98 hp at 7,500 rpm with peak torque of 94 Nm at 5,250 rpm. Thus the latest Bimota's sport motorcycle is able to be driven up to 228 kph.

Here are another two unique motorcycles with a construction similar to Bimota sport motorcycle, namely Vyrus sport bikes and custom bikes of Bernard Mont named Ducati TT3 Difazio. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TOPSPEED]

The Rebirth of a Legend: Ford GT Returns with Power and Purpose

Legend Reengineered - Sometimes, history isn’t just meant to be remembered—it’s meant to be rewritten. In the world of high-performance automobiles, few names stir passion quite like the Ford GT. It’s more than a car. It’s a symbol of American grit, rivalry, and reinvention. And when Ford decided to bring back this automotive icon, they didn’t just polish an old story—they turned the page and wrote a bold new chapter.

Unveiled under the bright lights of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the latest Ford GT didn’t merely mark a comeback. It roared into the spotlight with a presence that was both thrilling and unapologetically futuristic. The original GT had already cemented its legacy decades earlier, but this rebirth was something else entirely. Ford wasn’t just honoring its past; it was engineering the future.

 

The heart of this machine beats with a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, armed with EcoBoost technology. Despite dropping two cylinders from its predecessor, it more than makes up for it with raw power—pushing over 600 horsepower straight to the rear wheels. And it’s not just brute force; the engine is closely related to the Daytona Prototype racers, meaning it carries real motorsport DNA. Paired with a lightning-fast 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the GT delivers both track-worthy aggression and street-ready precision.

What truly sets the new Ford GT apart, though, is the way it blends old-school racing spirit with cutting-edge materials and design. Ford went all in with a carbon fiber body, shedding unnecessary weight and sharpening performance. Add in active aerodynamics and you've got a car that doesn’t just look fast—it breathes speed in every detail. Its silhouette might whisper memories of Le Mans glory, but its lines scream modern innovation.

 

Even standing still, the GT exudes motion. From its aggressive rear diffuser to its flying buttresses, every inch serves a purpose. It rides on 20-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires, custom-engineered for this very car. These aren't just tires—they’re precision instruments that translate every twitch of the steering wheel into scalpel-sharp handling.

Climb inside, and you're not entering a luxury cockpit—you’re stepping into a command center. The interior is as minimal as it is intentional. Two lightweight seats are molded directly into the carbon monocoque, merging driver and machine. The steering wheel, inspired by Formula 1 design, is packed with integrated controls, eliminating the need for traditional stalks. Everything is right at your fingertips, from shifting gears with the paddle shifters to adjusting key vehicle dynamics.

But perhaps the most powerful part of the Ford GT’s story isn’t its speed or engineering. It’s its heritage. The 2015 debut wasn't random—it honored a monumental moment in racing history. Fifty years earlier, in 1966, Ford conquered the 24 Hours of Le Mans, taking first, second, and third place. That victory wasn’t just about cars; it was about proving that determination and innovation could beat even the most dominant forces in motorsport. The new GT exists because Ford refuses to forget that.

So here we are, decades later, with a car that doesn’t just carry the name Ford GT—it earns it. A car that blends history and high-tech, muscle and finesse. Not built to be a museum piece or collector’s trophy, but to move—fast, hard, and with purpose. Because some legends don’t fade. They evolve. *** [EKA [05022015] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOPS ]

Half of its body was neck

A new dinosaur fossil discovered near the city of Qijiang, China by construction workers. It is estimated, the dinosaur given a name Qijianglong guokr was lived 160 million years ago. The plant-eating dinosaurs had an unusual stature, half of the body is the neck.

It has a body length of about 14 meters, and the neck of dinosaur's has a long of  7 meters. The construction workers along with paleontologist lift the dinosaur fossil carefully. They managed to lift the head complete with ancient animal's neck.

"It is a rare, that the head and neck of long-necked dinosaurs was found together because his head is very small and easy to separate after the animal died," said Tetsuo Miyashita, a scientist who involved in the excavation. "Qijianglong is cool animals," said Miyashita who is a paleontologist at the Univerity of Alberta.

"If we imagine the animal that half of the body is the neck, you can know that evolution can take place with very great," he said as quoted by Discovery on Friday, January 30, 2015. Dinosaurs of Sauropod type also had long neck. However, usually only a third of its length. Thus, the Qijianglong was very special.

Qijianglong guokr had an interesting anatomical adaptation. Bones have many cavities. So, despite the long-necked, the dinosaurs would not feel sore. However, the neck remains strong. Animal's neck was estimated more moves up and down rather than to the right and left.

Qijianglong guokr classified as type Mamenchisaurus. The type found only in Asia. Dinosaurs with extreme long necks itself can only be found in China, it shows that this dinosaur type had experienced the isolation.

Miyashita theorized, such as the ocean or other restrictions may be the factor that makes the animals were isolated. "It remains a mystery why Mamenchisaurus not migrate to other continents," said Miyashita. Now, the dinosaur fossils had stored in the Qijiang city museum and will be the star in there. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | DISCOVERY | DAILY MAIL]
