KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG is a highly respected, and increasingly popular Austrian motorcycle manufacturer. KTM achieved notoriety in the early days of off-road racing with innovative motorcycles and many championships.
K&N High-Flow Air Filter, number KT-6907, for 2007-2009 690 SMC and 2008-2011 Duke Motorcycles
Financial difficulties in the early nineties forced the company to file for bankruptcy and resulted in a three-part division of its separate manufacturing branches. Reinvented as KTM-Sportmotorcycle AG in 1994, the company set out to revive its off-road dominance as well as penetrate the street motorcycle market.
KTM’s first on-road motorcycle to roll off the assembly line was the 1994 620 Duke. The Duke was based on KTM’s highly successful LC4 enduro motorcycles. The Duke featured street tires, a small fairing, and dual exhaust. KTM essentially created its own market segment with the Duke by manufacturing the first factory Supermoto machine.
Through the years the Duke has evolved into more of a street machine than pure Supermoto bike. However, KTM has in no way alienated Supermoto enthusiasts. Here to answer that call is the Duke’s paternal-twin, the KTM 690 SMC Supermoto. Born of the same womb, but not identical, the 690 Supermoto is what you get when you mix a dirtbike with a sportbike.
The 2007-2009 KTM 690 SMC Supermoto and 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 KTM 690 Duke models are both very versatile and powerful motorcycles. K&N has released a new washable/reusable high-flow air filter (KT-6907) to meet the demands of these machines and their owners.
This high-flow replacement air filter is washable/reusable, pre-oiled and ready to ride. K&N’s KT-6907 is specifically designed to fit into the stock air filter assembly of 2007-2009 KTM 690 SMC Supermoto and 2008-2012 KTM 690 Duke models with 654 cc engines.
K&N high-flow replacement motorcycle air filters are performance designed to provide increased airflow, resulting in increased horsepower and torque while providing excellent filtration. Fuel management modifications to your KTM are not necessary to obtain increased performance.
In 2008 the ZX-10R Ninja was redesigned. Technology born on the racetrack found its way down to Kawasaki’s line up of street machines. Changes include a revised 998 cc 16-valve liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, a new chassis, and new suspension. All this combines to make the
2008-2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R a potent race-ready machine.
Race Specific Air Filter for Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja Motorcycles
Here to help the ZX-10R stand out from the on track competition is K&N’s new race specific air filter (KA-1008R) designed to increase performance in 2008, 2009 and 2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R Ninja models.
K&N’s line of race specific air filters are designed for asphalt racing only. They are not intended for dirt track, off-road or highway use. Part number KA-1008R is very different from its stock replacement air filter counter part (KA-1008).
KA-1008R incorporates two-ply cotton media in a special pleat pattern to be less restrictive, providing extra airflow. As a result this K&N racing air filter increases horsepower and acceleration for the racetrack.
K&N part number KA-1008R will fit directly inside your OE air box assembly. No cutting or fitting modifications are required to install this filter, but fuel management modifications will be necessary to obtain optimum performance.
K&N air filters are washable and reusable. K&N’s KA-1008R is warranted against defective workmanship for one year after the date of purchase with no mileage limitation.
For 2008 to 2010 ZX-10R motorcycles used in normal non-racing environments, K&N recommends its four-layer OE replacement air filter, part number KA-1008 for excellent engine protection and air flow.
K&N also offers a line of performance oil filters for use on and off the racetrack. Our canister style oil filters feature high flow rates, a heavy-duty canister, high burst strength and a 17mm wrench-off nut that is pre-drilled for safety wire attachment. K&N oil filters are ideal for race applications, hard to reach oil filters, high-performance engines, and use with synthetic oils. This makes the 2008 to 2010 ZX-10R Ninja an ideal candidate for part number KN-303.
The Honda CBR1000RR was developed as a direct result of technologies learned from the design of Honda’s MotoGP race bike, the RC211V. Honda has used the name Fireblade since the early nineties beginning with the CBR900RR.
K&N Race Specific Air Filter HA-1004R for 2004-2007 Honda CBR1000RR Motorcycles
However, it wasn’t until 2004 that the Fireblade received an official 1000 cc liter-bike power plant. The cutting edge 2004 CBR1000RR Fireblade set a new standard in sportbike performance and gave its competition something to aspire toward.
Here to help the CBR1000RR stand out from the on track competition is K&N’s new race specific air filter (HA-1004R) designed to increase performance in 2004-2007 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade models.
K&N’s line of race specific air filters are designed for asphalt racing only. They are not intended for dirt track, off-road or highway use. Part number HA-1004R is very different from its stock replacement air filter counter part (HA-1004).

Toyota Race Development USA has collected many victories in 2009
Toyota Race Development USA was originally established to serve as an aftermarket performance parts distributor for TRD Japan, and as a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Sales (TMS). Since first opening their doors in 1979 though, the Costa Mesa, California based company has redefined itself as a premiere world-class engine and performance organization.
Kyle Busch won several races in all three top series of NASCAR in 2009
TRD first captured the world of motorsports attention, making history in the process, when Juan Montoya recorded Toyota's first Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) victory, driving a TRD powered Indy Car at the Milwaukee Mile in June 2000. That race was a significantly sweet triumph because it was the first win for an American designed and built engine in 20 years. Since then it would be far easier to list what TRD hasn't won, than to list everything that they have.
In partnership with TMS, TRD has collected a shipload of noteworthy wins, which would have to include the monumental victory at the '03 Indianapolis 500, three Rolex 24 at Daytona victories, along with numerous Baja 500 and 1000 wins and manufacturers championships (NCTS, IRL, CART, IMSA, MTEG, Grand-Am, CORR, and the WSORR competition).
TRD engineered and built the V-8 powered Toyota Tundra engines for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
Other historical wins include five Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Championships and the Import Drag Racing Class Championships ('04, '06 and '07) plus, multiple wins at 12 Hours of Sebring.
"We've had a good season so far, we've had 12 victories in the Truck Series, victories in the Nationwide Series. And we've done that with several drivers, which shows that we have a strong program, not only strong teams," says Laerte Zatta. Zatta is the Senior Program Manager for the Truck and Nationwide Series. He has been with TRD since 2001, working with the CART series, then IRL, and now NASCAR.
TRD engineers and builds the V-8 powered Tundra engines for NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) and the V-8 Camry power-plant for the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series. They also create engines for most Toyota factory-backed US racing efforts, including Championship Off-Road Racing (CORR), the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), and recently the United States Auto Club (USAC) Sprint Car and National Midget Car Racing Series.
"This year we had Kyle Busch, who won several races in all three top series in NASCAR. Also, Brian Scott and Timothy Peters both notched their first wins. It's always good for us to see our current drivers and new drivers having success. So far we have won three Truck Manufactures Championships ('06, '07, '08), two Drivers Championship ('06, '08), and we've also won the '08 and '09 Nationwide Manufactures Championship," adds Zatta justifiably proud.
"We use K&N air and oil filters in all of our Tundra trucks and our relationship has always been great. The product is reliable, it has excellent performance, and K&N has been the perfect partner for us, not only as a supplier, but also in helping us with the development of new products. Next season we will continue to work with K&N, there are absolutely no reasons not to. It's good product, good people to work with, and excellent support to our teams," adds Zatta.
Roger Penske has been racing and winning in the United States since 1958
The spell-check on my computer didn't recognize "Penske," how is that even possible? There are entire tribes of south Asian nomads living in yurts that would recognize that name. Roger Penske is arguably the most recognizable motorsports name on the planet.
Penske Racing is one of the most successful organizations in professional sports
The "Captain," as he's affectionately referred to, has been racing and winning in the United States since 1958. He has notched victories in every series he's ever competed in. With 22 national championships, including 12 in Indy car racing, the present day Penske Racing Team has often been referred to as the "New York Yankees of motorsports."
Back in the day, Penske was one of America's hottest and most successful young-gun road racers, before retiring from racing in 1965, to focus fulltime on his first business endeavor - a Philadelphia Chevrolet dealership. Today, the Penske Corporation has evolved nicely into a closely-held diversified transportation services company whose subsidiaries operate in a variety of segments, including retail automotive, truck leasing, transportation logistics, transportation component manufacturing, as well as, high performance racing. Positioned next to the definition of "Midas-touch" there most assuredly should be a photo of Roger Penske.
Penske Racing's Kurt Busch and the No. 2 Miller Lite team in the NASCAR Cup Series
"Penske Racing is one of the most diverse and successful organizations in professional sports. We currently field winning race teams in the NASCAR Cup Series and Nationwide Series, the Indy Car Series and the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series. We compete in over 100 races each year and we are privileged to represent some terrific sponsors such as Verizon Wireless, Dodge, Miller Lite, Mobil 1 and Philip Morris USA, just to name a few. Our organization has established a tradition of winning over the years as Penske Racing cars have produced over 300 race wins, more than 350 pole positions and 22 national championships" comments Jonathan Gibson, Vice President, Penske Racing.
During the course of a normal racing season there are always an unnaturally large number of highlights for the Penske team, asked to pin that down to just a few Gibson reflects. "Penske Racing has established its legacy at the Indianapolis 500 and we were fortunate to earn the team's record 15th win at Indy this past May with driver Helio Castroneves and the No. 3 Team Penske Dallara/Honda. We were also in the hunt for the IndyCar Series championship until the last lap of the final race this year, with driver Ryan Briscoe and the No. 6 Team Penske car before falling just short. Victories in the NASCAR Cup Series are also very hard to come by and we experienced a great win this season in Atlanta with Kurt Busch and the No. 2 Miller Lite team. Kurt returned to the Chase for the Cup Series championship this season and he continues to fight for the title."
"Our relationship with K&N has been a great one for Penske Racing," continues Gibson. "K&N filters provide top-level performance for our cars and we will continue to work hard to make sure K&N is in Victory Lane with Penske Racing – no matter where we are competing."
You don't get to top, or resolutely remain there, by ever allowing yourself to rest too long on your laurels though. "Penske Racing is always focused on its next challenge," says Gibson. "Right now, we are concentrating on a strong finish to the NASCAR Cup Series and Nationwide Series seasons and the chase with Kurt and the Miller Lite Dodge team. But we also have several other exciting challenges on the horizon. We are pleased to welcome Brad Keselowski, one of NASCAR's rising stars to the team, as he will race the final events in this season's Cup Series, driving in the No. 12 Penske Dodge. He will also join us for a full-season of Cup and Nationwide Series efforts in 2010. We welcome Discount Tire on board as the primary sponsor of Brad's No. 22 car in the Nationwide Series next season. We also look forward to competing for race wins and series championships in all of the series where we will compete in 2010."
