The Wrath12R from White's Bikes
The Wrath12R is the latest in superbike simulation from White's Bikes. It holds a driver and one passenger. It features a realistic 6 speed manual transmission and many set up options such as gearing, rake and engine braking. The W12R comes with a HUD that displays RPM, gear and your speed in accurate to scale km/h. The Wrath allows you to change the look to suit with options for the body work, frame, pipes, forks and so on.
The Wrath12R is developed under fire. This is the bike that is used in the MotoSL Superbike Racing season 4. It is developed under the guidance of the best riders and actual use conditions. As advances are made from the laboratory of racing these advancements make their way into the production bike you own with automatic updates. The dynamics of the bike have been produced from years of development. The scripts and texture use is professional and clean. You do not have to worry about frying sims and viewers as you drive by.
The Wrath12R has 2 sound sets you can choose from with more planned. The bike has realistic animations for turning.
The bike is designed to take advantage of RaceSL spec track surfaces. This means at venues such at Mooz Raceway the bike will know when it's on the grass and you might crash!

The Wrath12R
The bike uses a simple touch menu to change settings. Click and pick!
The touch menu :
Access :
Lock or Unlock your bike. When unlocked users can access the set up menu while sitting on the bike.
Visual :
From here you can change the look of many parts of the bike.
Body, Tires, Forks, Handlebars, Motor, Pipes, Triple Clamp, Frame, Footpegs
Gearing :
The rider has 3 back sprockets to choose from to change the over all gearing of the bike towards acceleration or top speed.
Boost :
Boost has 10 levels of activation. A setting of 0 turns off the boost. Boost affects over all acceleration, top speed and handling. Note that it will not turn it into a tron bike, but a crazy fast bike that still sorta pays attention to physics.
Front End :
This is where the rider defines the bikes handling and contains the 3 options below.
Rake :
The rake of the front wheel effects how quickly the bike turns in. The result of less rake would be a quick turning bike that might feel less stable. Rake mostly effects initial turn in.
Trail :
Trail of the front wheel works with rake in defining the character of handling while turning. A small trail setting will make a very twitchy bike. A larger setting will make the bike much more stable and slower to lean in and slower to upright. Changing your trail could effect how the bike flows around a series of turns.
Suspension :
This is important to get right. It will effect how your bike handles terrain with elevation changes.
Flat : This setting is used for flat areas like a race track. It will allow tight turning radius with proper use.
Hills : This is the default setting. Use this everywhere except a flat race track. This will allow good handling on all kinds of terrain.
Braking :
The rider has 2 options to set up how the bike slows down.
Engine Braking :
Engine braking determines how fast the motor will slow down when you are coasting and off the gas. Some riders use high engine braking as a means to slow for corners. The bike allows 6 levels of engine braking.
Disk Braking :
This is your manual braking system. A higher setting will put more pressure on the brake pads when you activate braking. The braking is tied into the computer traction assistance which also lowers your RMP.
Camera :
The bike features 7 camera options for the rider to choose.
Seating :
Seating is adjustable to help avatars fit their bike.
Sound :
Select between 2 sound sets.
Save/Load/Say set up :
You can save or load the set up of your bike to the hud (see below). You can also have the bike say your set up out loud if you want to share it with someone.
The Wrath12R uses a HUD (heads up display) that shows the RPM, current gear, realistic to scale speed in km/ph and a shift light. A racer can click their HUD and open a menu with many set up options for the HUD itself such as tinting and transparency. The HUD is where a riders set up is stored when they click SAVE in the bike menu. This allows riders to jump on the latest bike at any location and quickly set up the bike to their specs.
