After spending the first half of the season, I was able to confirm the potential of the KX112, When I try to ride the Dunlop TT93GP, I feel a bit uneasy about the fact that it has the performance of a touring tire and is challenging the Q5 team. CST would increase by about 3% […]

It seems like just the other day I turned 60, but it’s already my 62nd birthday. You’re getting old in the blink of an eye I have been able to continue participating in Gymkhana and SSB thanks to everyone’s support, and I would like to continue doing my best in the future. But I’m 62 […]

We will be participating in SRTT Street Hyper at Tomin Motorland on July 28th. The vehicle used this time is a Kawasaki Z650, and it will be equipped with Q5A street tires. Thank you to all the participants who are watching this.   When running a Z650 on a closed course, how much difference is […]

I brought the Z650 to my second gymkhana practice session. Based on the data from the last time, I shortened the final by two teeth and lowered the seat by about 20 mm. The Final two-gear short bike can be enjoyed on public roads, and the seat is thick enough that it doesn’t hurt your […]

The Z650 was chosen as a machine that can be enjoyed on touring, mountain roads, and even in gymkhana. Last week I brought it to a gymkhana practice session for the first time.   Our goal is to create a machine that will perform comfortably both on touring and on mountain roads, without becoming a […]

The event will be held again this year at Tsukinowa Driving School in Shiga Prefecture. Let’s Run with KIG Sakuta DAY   I’m by no means good at teaching, but I’d love to be able to give you all some advice while having fun running with you all. If possible, I would like to ride […]

It seems that many people from the JAGE training the day before joined, but I can’t keep up with my current physical condition, so I went to a nearby mountain on Saturday. I’ve been spending my time slowly adjusting my body and mind. We ran just under 200km, which was a bit too much for […]

At the request of Honda HMS, we fitted a SSB bumper + HMS pipe + SSB slider α + rear slider + new muffler guard to a CB1000R. The radiator shroud has also been modified to give it a cool finish.   This time, the request was for five vehicles, so we expect them to […]

Introducing our new partner.   This is the 2023 model of the Kawasaki Z650. I have two touring bikes, an NC750X for long distance touring and a CB125R for short distance rides. I wanted a bike for medium distance riding, so I found a used one that was just right and bought it.   The […]

Lately I’ve been obsessed with setting up the Z250SL and practicing with it.   What you can practice when using an SL is how to pick up engine power by accelerating as early as possible at extremely low speeds.   The bike is sharp and moves forward, and the idling speed is normal at 1500 […]

The fourth Dunlop event of 2022 took place in heavy rain. The video of me riding the ZRX1200R has been viewed an astonishing 1 million times.   I’m very happy that so many people watched it. After all, SAKUTA = ZRX is indisputable (laughs).   You won the SB class in this competition. The tires […]

I participated in the second round of the 2024 Jimuchaya Cup. This time, the borrowed class will be the Z250SL and the main class will be the KX112.   Three weeks after restarting development, I enjoyed the Jimu Chaya Cup on my Z250SL for the first time in a long while.   As a rider, […]

When setting up the ARACER, it is essential to use a wideband O2 sensor to get as close as possible to the ideal air-fuel ratio. From there we move on to a setup to make it go faster. However, it seems that the O2 sensor was broken and I realized that the data I had […]

The Z250SL’s engine has been tuned by Suzuka Porting, the same company that worked on the Ninja 400. That said, no aftermarket parts are used and the tuning is done using only genuine parts. However, since there are limitations to setting up the stock ECU, we installed an aftermarket ECU called ARACER, which is a […]

I’ve had a Z250SL for a while now, but I’ve been using it on the circuit, lending it to friends, and going to mountain passes. I’ve used it in a variety of ways. When I first bought it, it was in its normal condition and even entered the Jimu Chaya Cup.   Last year I […]

Regarding the motorcycle practice area that is being operated using the parking lot of Parada Ski Resort in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture We wanted to make Parada Ski Resort a more attractive place! A-class Takemura was consulted. So a few of us, including myself, decided to brainstorm ideas. So the first thing that came to […]

I participated in the second round of the Dunlop Cup. The challenge will see the team change tires from CST CM-SRR to Dunlop TT93GP. The cornering speed on this course wasn’t that great, but there were many points where the car had to be open. For the KX112, the course involves four times in third […]

The Dunlop Cup, the last of a three-week tournament series, will be held this weekend.   Starting with the Chubu Moto Gymkhana Tournament on May 3rd, and the Tohoku Moto Gymkhana Tournament on May 12th The second round of the Dunlop Cup will be held on May 19th, making it three weeks in a row. […]

for 2023 Triumph Speed Triple This time, we created an SSB for the new Speed Triple. No modification to the vehicle body is required, and it can be installed by bolt-on. Since it has a two-point fastening structure, we recommend installing the SSB slider α if possible.   I also made a rear slider.   […]

I went to the Ehime Dunlop Gymkhana tournament, which I go to for the final race every year.   This time I was riding a KX112 and a small bike, so I used my own highly maneuverable Step Wagon for transportation. The usual route is to take the Orange Ferry from Osaka Nanko to Toyo […]
