Limited refresh for Yamaha FZ8

Θα φέρει σύστημα traction control καθώς και ABS

Η Yamaha κρατάει το στόμα της κλειστό σχετικά με το ποιες ακριβώς είναι οι αλλαγές που έρχονται με το FZ8 του 2013, ωστόσο διαρροές υπάρχουν. Και σύμφωνα με αυτές το γυμνό με τα 800cc έρχεται με μικρές μόνον αλλαγές.

Η μοτοσυκλέτα πρωτοπαρουσιάστηκε στην ευρωπαϊκή αγορά το 2010 και μια ανανέωση στην τριετία επιβάλλεται.

Ας δούμε τι λένε οι «γνώστες» των εμπιστευτικών πληροφοριών. Καταρχήν τα γραφικά θα είναι καινούργια, ακολουθώντας τη νέα «οικογενειακή» εικόνα με τις διχρωμίες που πρωτοείδαμε στο R1 του 2013.

Ακούγεται επίσης ότι, όπως και το FJR 1300 της επόμενης χρονιάς, το FZ8 θα φέρει ένα σύστημα traction control.
Φυσικά δεν θα εκπλαγεί κανείς από την τοποθέτηση ABS και στο γυμνό μοντέλο. Αν και ενδέχεται να μην περιλαμβάνεται στον στάνταρ εξοπλισμό και να διατίθεται ως αξεσουάρ.
Η επίσημη παρουσίαση αναμένεται στις 2 Οκτωβρίου στην Έκθεση της Κολωνίας.

Eleonora Zouganelis : "I will not join the Demons"

In her interview in the "Passepartout" insert of the "Investor" newspaper, Eleonora Zouganeli responds to the rumors that she wants to participate in the musical "Demons" that Anna Vissi is going to stage again, next spring.

"This is not true. I will not participate in the Demons" clearly answers Eleonora Zouganelis to a related question, explaining: "It was an offer made to me "in the air", almost not done. That is, I have not refused, but I wouldn't do the musical, because I'm on a different path. It wouldn't stick right now. I'm already doing a lot as a singer and I wouldn't want to mess with something so different.".

In fact, he added: "If I ever did a musical, it would be something new. Not the "Demons", but not "Chicago".  I would prefer something combined, a show around a performer that contains both song and prose. But not now. Now I'm in the phase of preparing a record".

Argyro Barbarigou- Lefteris Lazarou : With their own cooking shows

Τα τηλεοπτικάμαγειρέματαδεν έχουν να κάνουν μόνο με τη διαμόρφωση του προγράμματος της νέας σεζόν, αλλά και με τις κουτάλες στην κυριολεξία, καθώς Μega και ΑΝΤ1 επιστρατεύουν γνωστούς σεφ για να στηρίξουν το πρόγραμμά τους.

Στον ΑΝΤ1, χωρίς να έχει αποφασιστεί τίποτα ακόμα για την πρωινή ψυχαγωγική ζώνη, σκέφτονται εναλλακτικές λύσεις, με την Αργυρώ Μπαρμπαρίγου να έχει το προβάδισμα. Η γνωστή μαγείρισσα, θα έχει καθημερινή τηλεοπτική παρουσία σε περίπτωση που αποφασιστεί να ακολουθεί μετά τον Γιώργο Παπαδάκη η Λίτσα Πατέρα με ζώδια και αμέσως μετά η ενότητα της μαγειρικής. Παράλληλα όμως θα έχει και δική της εκπομπή το Σαββατοκύριακο -ουσιαστικά πρόκειται για δύο δεκάλεπτες εκπομπές ζαχαροπλαστικής, μια το Σάββατο και μια την Κυριακή.

Στο Mega πάλι, κι ενώ ακόμη δεν έχει ξεκαθαριστεί πότε θα προβληθεί το Master Chef ΙΙ, σύμφωνα με δημοσίευμα της Real News, σκέφτονται να αναθέσουν στον Λευτέρη Λαζάρου μια ξεχωριστή εκπομπή μαγειρικής, προσαρμοσμένη στα δεδομένα της νέας εποχής, με υλικά απλά και χαμηλού κόστους, με οικονομικούς τρόπους παρασκευής αλλά και προτάσεις για δημιουργική αξιοποίηση του φαγητού που έχει περισσέψει από το καθημερινό τραπέζι. Η εκπομπή αναμένεται να κάνει πρεμιέρα γύρω στον Φεβρουάριο.

"Alonso, the best of the decade"

Flavio Briatore's weakness towards Fernando Alonso is known and once again the Italian businessman "knitted" the pilot's praise.

In fact, the former Renault boss emphasized that the two-time world champion is the best driver of the last decade.

"Fernando Alonso is the best driver of the last decade. At times he can make strategy mistakes, however, he is then able to recover, even if the car is not competitive enough", were Briatore's words.

The former Formula 1 strongman 1, he couldn't help but mention the teams and what's going on in the Formula One championship 1.

"I don't think Red Bull is sluggish. However, there's Lotus and Sauber and that proves that money doesn't make a difference. McLaren is competitive and can steal quite a few points from Alonso. Ferrari needs improvements and Alonso needs to win at least one more race, without McLaren getting points ».

Alonso has won two world titles in the last decade (2005, 2006), has finished third the 2007, while the 2010 placed second.
