Pulsar is now the Official Sponsor of Ghost Ryderz Stunt Team !!

Ghost Ryderz becomes the first professional motorcycle Stunt Riding Team from India to be officially sponsored by a motorcycle brand..!!

"Pulsar, India’s No.1 Sports Bike is the official sponsor of Ghost Ryderz, India’s No. 1 Motorcycle Freestyle Stunt riding team".

That’s what the landing page of the Ghost Ryderz site says. Ghost Ryderz has indeed become India’s first professional motorcycle stunt team to be sponsored by a corporate entity. The team has recently revealed a new set of Pulsar 220S bikes which has been custom modified into genuine street fighters along with a customized paint theme as well.

Who are Ghost Ryderz?

They are a team of 5 talented young guys from Kerala who call themselves as "Damboy", "Smokey", "Phenom", "Nio" and "Dauntless". They first shot into national limelight in 2009 when they were picked up to tour with MTV for the 2009 Pulsar MTV Stuntmania auditions (to perform stunts in front of the crowd at various cities across India). They were once again chosen to tour with MTV for the second season of the MTV Pulsar Stuntmania "Rockathon" Auditions in 2010.

Ghost Ryderz now regularly perform Stunt shows in various cities of India. To get a glimpse of the Ghost Ryderz doing their stuff, check out their Facebook Page.

Pulsar and Motorcycle Stunting

Pulsar is the first motorcycle brand in India to associate itself with Stunting. Bikers in India have now started to strongly associate stunting with the Pulsar brand. And it is for good reason.

The 2003 "Pulsar DTS-i" TV Commercial (Wheelie and Stoppie on the bridge) is still very fresh in my mind, and how can one not mention the 2008 "Pulsar Mania" TV Commercial which featured jaw dropping synchronized stunts. Pulsar has also sponsored India’s first Stunt Reality TV Show "StuntMania" on MTV in 2009 and 2010.

The association of Pulsar and Ghost Ryderz, which is the first of its kind in India, is great news for the budding sport of Freestyle Motorcycle Stunting. I seriously hope that this association with Pulsar would provide Ghost Ryderz the boost to make us proud even on the international freestyle stunt circuit.

Go Ghost Ryderz..!! Go Pulsar..!!

DHONIS RACING TEAM MSD R N NOW BECOMES MAHI RACING TEAM

Everyone knows about Indian Cricket Team skipper MS Dhoni and his love for bikes, but most of you aren’t aware that he owns a Moto GP racing team as well. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Superbike Championship Team has unveiled a new identity and announced two new riders in its line-up for the upcoming season. The team marked its entry in the world of superbike racing mid-way through the 2012 season and performed well in 2012 season of world superbike championship.

Dani Linfoot and Florian Marino put up some brilliant performances with a points finish by Marino in the very first race and a brilliant podium finish for Linfoot in the last race of the season at Magny Cours, France. Now,The team has been rechristened Mahi Racing Team India and their Kawasaki ZX-6R bike will sport a new logo and livery for the upcoming season. Dhoni has unveiled the new logo recently in an event in Mumbai.

Mahi Racing has signed up two new riders, one of those are three-time world champion Kenan Sofouglu and the second is former champion Fabien Foret, who finished the 2012 season in fourth place. The two new riders will join existing members Dan Linfoot and Florian Marino. Signed as the factory team for Kawasaki, Mahi Racing Team riders will be testing the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R during the official winter testing season. The Team is now focusing on the 2013 title with these two new world champion riders.

“We plan to open a riding school in India. We have taken a small step and in course of time I want to see an Indian driver on our bikes,” said Dhoni at the launch event here. “Earlier in India, bikes were used for commuting only but in last ten years the engine capacity of bikes in the market have risen from 100cc to 220-250cc, so there is demand for speedy bikes. I was fascinated by the sport and it feels great to be associated with it. But in addition to speed we will also stress on safe driving and following the traffic rules,” he added.

“We were targeting mid-table finishes to form a base for the next season (2013). But the team put up a sterling performance and created history by pulling off a podium finish after just five rounds. Our rider Dan Linfoot finished a remarkable third in Magny Cours, France. Our crew did an outstanding job by setting up the team in such a short time,” said Arun Pandey, Chairman and Managing Director of the Mahi Racing Team. Mahi Racing team will also be participating in India with FIM World Superbike Championship debuting at the Buddh International Circuit in March. We are hoping high from Mahi Racing team as they are certainly come as a strong contender for 2013 World Superbike Championship. Good Luck Folks.
