yamaha 2013 FJR 1300A pics

2013-01-15T04:08:00.003-08:00

Meet the new 2013 FJR1300A, boasting lots of updates sure to grab the attention of many riders. The aggressive new styling features, including the headlight cowl and side fairing, are not only great looking, they also help improve comfort and aid in weather protection.
Riders can now select D-mode (Drive-mode) for varying throttle mappings, giving the motorcycle exceptional versatility. This works in conjunction with YCC-T® (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) and the new intake/exhaust systems, generating engine character that can be sportier or more relaxed depending on riding situations.
Traction control developed from MotoGP® technology is standard on the new FJR1300A. While engaged, the system detects wheel spin and adjusts ignition timing, fuel injection volume, and throttle opening to help maintain traction. The system is designed to let the operator ride on wet roads and unpaved surfaces with more confidence.
Another new feature now standard on the FJR1300A for 2013 is cruise control. Riders can set cruising speed with the push of a button on the left handlebar to provide comfort and ease on extended road trips.
A newly designed, three-part instrument panel provides riders with all the information they need while enjoying the road. Riders can easily customize the display to show the information they want.
New LED front turn signals/position lights give the FJR1300A the modern, high-tech look sport touring riders want.
A redesigned, pushbutton-adjustable windscreen and a thick comfy seat for two are perfect for comfortable, long-distance riding.
FJR1300A includes a two-position adjustable rider seat, low for shorter riders or nearly 1-inch higher for a more spacious feel for taller riders, plus handlebars that can be adjusted to one of three different positions. The result is a superb, custom-fit ride.

Compact, lightweight 1298cc, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine delivers power and torque for an unequaled spread of muscle over a wide rpm range.
Engine is a fully stressed chassis member, allowing for a lightweight frame design.
Slant-block engine design uses stacked, tri-axis gearbox shafts that help minimize powerplant size while optimizing chassis geometry for balanced weight distribution and great handling.
Lightweight forged pistons with carburized connecting rods provide superb strength and reduced reciprocating mass for outstanding highrpm durability and performance.
Advanced fuel injection system is ideal for long-distance supersporttouring, delivering crisp, seamless throttle response in a variety of altitude/weather conditions.
Low-vibration crankshaft with two gear-driven secondary counterbalancers help deliver an extra-smooth ride with reduced rider/ passenger fatigue.
Four-into-one-into-two stainless-steel exhaust optimizes engine performance across the powerband.
- The upper cowl is redesigned while the under-cowl has a new shape for increased wind protection. The under-cowl’s adjustable panel has a new design for rider convenience and can be adjusted without tools.
- The new adjustable windscreen improves rider comfort, the adjustment speed is now twice as fast and the screen holds its position when the key is turned off.
- The throttle body is redesigned, and the shape of the funnel and the shape and length of the exhaust pipe have been changed to use the new YCC-T system.
- The new Yamaha D-Mode system offers riders a choice of T-Mode or S-Mode. T-Mode provides good performance characteristics needed for touring. The S-mode maximizes the performance characteristics for a sportier ride.
- New cruise control adjusts speed via a single push to the switch or, for larger adjustments, by continuously pushing the switch. Application of the brakes, clutch or throttle automatically releases the cruise control function. There is also a “resume” function that returns the cruise control to the most recent setting.
- New handlebar switches on both the right and left control heated-grip temperature, electronic windscreen adjustments, and the instrument panel display. There is also a knob for headlight beam adjustment.
- FJR1300 features a traction control system to help provide smooth, consistent traction on wet road surfaces or unpaved roads for more rider confidence.
- The new dash and instrument panel offer modern styling with a three part arrangement: an analog meter on the left, a digital speedometer in the center, and a multi-dot display on the right.
- The new fork design incorporates an aluminum piston rod and plunger and features a new spring rate. New rear shock damping and spring rate are revised for rider comfort, especially when riding with a passenger and/or rear cargo for a sportier ride.
- The engine’s cylinders feature a liner-less design with direct plating to the cylinder wall for superior heat dissipation.

The country's second-largest two-wheeler maker holds a 40% stake in KTM Power Sports AG, Europe largest sports bike maker, and will distribute the high-end European bikes from existing 34 pro-biking showroom that would be done up with orange KTM livery and six new ones will added in 2012. Besides, there would be 40 service centers dedicated for KTM bikes. Bajaj would assemble the new bike at its Chakan plant and market it across the country through KTM stores. The bikes can be booked across these outlets and deliveries would start from early February. "We plan to establish KTM as a sporty motorcycle brand that would offer niche European features to Indian users. Between the Bajaj Pulsar and the KTM Duke, we intend to further strengthen our dominant position in the sports motorcycle segment in India," Bajaj Auto MD Rajiv Bajaj said. Following the multi-brand concept, Bajaj would continue to sell Kawasaki Ninja bikes through these KTM branded stores, but would shift its high-end bikes like the Pulsar 200 and Avenger cruiser range to regular Bajaj Auto dealerships that sells its other volume bikes.

very cute cruiser bike Victory KingPin 2012

2011-11-03T08:16:00.000-07:00

Victory KingPin Cruiser Motor Cycle

106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM V-TWIN

Whether you’re finding your way across town or cruising the city’s glass canyons, the Freedom V-Twin power plant delivers 97 horsepower and 113 ft lbs of green-light torque with ultimate authority. The heart of every Victory Cruiser machine, it informs the world of your arrival with every crack of the throttle.

6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION

The best performing transmission on the street collects the power generated by the massive V-twin and allows the Victory Kingpin to roll fluidly between the curbs. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift will be as smooth and clean as the bike itself.

113 FT LBS TORQUE

Press the starter and you can feel deep in your chest an eruption of low-end torque. With each precision-tuned piston stroke, the Freedom V-Twin’s 4-valve overhead cams and perfectly matched 6-speed overdrive transmission promise to provide unmatched throttle response, acceleration and passing power.

INVERTED FRONT FORK

Kingpin’s classic look pleases every rider walking up to it. But that feeling is turbocharged when taking the Kingpin through the twisties. The beefy inverted front fork sends more rigidity forward, providing better handling at every turn.

FULL FLOORBOARDS

Stable and highly comfortable platforms make a rider’s feet feel as firmly grounded as the bike itself, and allow for more confident shifter stomping from heel to toe.

Viewed from the side, the shape of 2011 Yamaha YZF-R15 created by the side panel and the upper surface of the tank creates an impression of the center of gravity shifting to the front tyre. A characteristic of the R-series is that, when you view the machine, you get a sense of its concept and performance. For example, Yamaha YZF-R1 shows a strong body line that springs up in a single line from the rear axle to the pivot and then to the head pipe. This is a visual expression of the straight shape of the Deltabox frame. These elements are a visual expression of “frame rigidity.” This philosophy has been fully transmitted to 2011 Yamaha YZF-R15. It features all-new LED tail light cluster, new engine cowl, new step-up seat, all-new black finish alloy wheels and new rear fender and tyre hugger.

most handsome cruiser bike of 2011 Brutale by MV Agusta

2011-02-03T08:16:00.000-08:00

The Brutale series of motorcycles are manufactured by MV Agusta of Italy. Its style is classified as a naked bike and the series consists of several models powered by either 749.5 cc or 909.1 cc inline4-dohc-engines.
Standard models include the Brutale 750S, Brutale 910S, Brutale 910R and new for 2008 Brutale 1078RR. In September 2009, MV Agusta revealed two new 2010 Brutale models - the 990R and 1090RR.

Brutale pushes the limits of research and technology in its 2010 models - the 990R and the 1090RR. With its state-of-the-art components, the 2010 Brutale delivers acclaimed performance and ease of riding, in keeping with the “Made in MV” formula: a commitment to excellence in componentry, in the design of which MV Agusta is at the forefront. The “easy” handling enable the Brutale to compete with the Japanese bikes : it is agile and instinctive in the hands of the rider. It excels on the racetrack, and its eclectic elegance and charm thrill even the casual admirer.

To achieve these results, it was necessary to replace 85% of the components, but the new Brutale has preserved the significant style features of previous versions. The work carried out on the 990R and 1090RR cannot be defined as mere restyling; rather, it is a silent MV Agusta revolution.

powerful Handsome korean bike hyosung GT 650 R bike

2011-01-23T22:47:00.000-08:00

Hyosung have done well with this model, due to the efi its performance up to approx 8000-8500 rpms is seamless. i have put an aftermarket (scorpion) exhaust on the bike which delivers a great note with weight saving on the stock pipe. As its hyosungs first attempt at an efi system they need to be commended on how good it actually is.

In hindsight i would have bought the tour model over the sport yet that is no critisim on the comfort of the R model.overall a decent learner legal bike that comes with 24month warranty, mine is coming up for its 5000k service and is still going well. Follow the break in procedures well and you should't have any dramas. (btw the new pipe did not require engine remapping and it sounds awesome)for a sub 10k bike this thing is awesome. Hyosung have emerged as (finally) a decent competitor to the jap bikes

very high performance street bike suzuki SV650

2011-01-23T22:20:00.000-08:00

The Suzuki SV650 is a motorcycle that is hard to pin down. Most motorcycles that are great for the experienced rider are much too powerful for someone new to the hobby of motorcycling. On the other hand, most beginner motorcycles are too underpowered and veteran riders are left wanting more. . These motorcycles were designed for racing and therefore are not very newbie friendly.
The suzuki SV650 and the SV650s (sport edition) are the most modern and the largest displacement bikes . The 90-degree liquid cooled V-twin, 645cc, fuel injected engine delivers power in a very managable way and is great for both a new and experienced rider.

Most sportbikes are equipped with an inline-4 engine which is the equivilent to a jet turbine in terms of power output. They can go quite fast once you rev them up to speed, but most of them are left lacking when it comes to mid-range torque. The SV has mid-range power in spades, and is the type you need when riding on the street. That is also the primary reason why the SV makes such a great beginner motorcycle. It allows the newer rider to get used to the sensitivity of the throttle without having to worry too much about the motorcycle taking off without them.

If you pick up an older SV650 (pre-2003) you will find that the frame is more rounded compared to the new versions, this allows the frame to be 100% cast aluminum alloy. The older tube frames were partially cast and the rest was welded together. Both frames are well designed and very stiff which really adds to the already impressive handling of this bike. Couple that with the stock Metzler Mez 4 tires and you have a bike that can keep up with other more race oriented bikes in the twisties.
One gripe that most SV owners have is the suspension. A lot of riders think it's much too soft which leads some people to replace their front forks with those of a Suzuki GSXR. If you were going to be doing some heavy riding either on the track or maybe some aggressive twisties then it may be worth it to change out the forks, other than that I wouldn't bother. One more thing that some owners complain about is the hard seat that comes stock on the SV. After some saddle time myself I would tend to agree with them, so if you are going to be going on some long trips you may want to switch the seat out for an aftermarket seat (maybe a corbin).
When all things are considered the SV650 is not only a great looking bike, but also a really fun one to ride. This bike offers a great alternative for those that are too self consious to start on a 250cc or 500cc motorcycle or those that simple have had lots of 2 wheeled dirt experience and want to move on to the street.

Half fairing means less plastic to break in case of a drop.
70 hp is enough for the experienced, but not too much for the new rider.
Cheaper than a 600cc 'crotch rocket'.

Suspension is too soft
Might be too much power for someone not comfortable on 2 wheels (either a bicycle or dirt bike).

BMW K1200S High-Performance Sports Bike

2010-12-31T07:54:00.000-08:00

BMW K1200S High-Performance Sports Bike

The new 2005 K 1200 S is a synthesis of everything BMW has learned from decades of motorsport success and detailed motorcycle development. It is a sport model without precedent and devoid of compromise. The K 1200 S exists to define maximum performance with unprecedented sophistication and technology-enhanced safety measures. Yes, it accelerates aggressively enough to take your breath away-thanks to an all-new four-cylinder engine with 167 horsepower-but also embodies everything BMW has learned about rider comfort and safety.

For BMW to step into a new realm of performance required extensive research and development. The K 1200 S is the result of a five-year process that first looked at the overall concept of a high-performance road bike and considered several options along the way to building a sophisticated aluminum-frame sporting model with an innovative inline-four-cylinder engine.
Central to the development of the K 1200 S was the realization that the inherent benefits of BMW's customary designs - the opposed-twin Boxer engine and the longitudinally mounted four-cylinder in the K series - could not be ignored in the new model. And a primary advantage of BMW design has been the centralization of motorcycle mass and, particularly, the desire to keep the overall center of gravity low.
Such a philosophy ensures that the motorcycle is highly maneuverable and yet remains completely stable and composed even while traversing rough roads. Furthermore, a low center of gravity makes the motorcycle more comfortable for riders with shorter inseams. Take two motorcycles of equal weight, and the one with the lower center of gravity will feel, subjectively, much lighter and confidence inspiring.
With the decision made to develop the K 1200 S with as low a center of mass as possible, BMW engineers set to work creating inspired and uncommon solutions.

Driven by New Engine Technology
BMW's famed Boxer engines have continued along an aggressive development path to their current state of the art, but it has been recognized that an inline arrangement is the best overall compromise for a four-cylinder engine when maximum performance and lightest weight are the primary goals.
BMW chose a novel arrangement for the K1200S's four-cylinder engine. The liquid-cooled four-cylinder powerplant is aligned across the frame-a significant departure from the K-Series standard of a longitudinally biased configuration. Not only has the new engine been designed to be as compact as possible, but in an effort to optimize the motorcycle's overall center of mass and fore/aft weight distribution, the cylinder bank is leaned forward 55 degrees from vertical.
By canting the cylinder block forward, the four-valve-per-cylinder head rides much lower in the chassis, moving the engine's center of mass forward and down, which helps improve steering response and front-wheel traction on such a powerful motorcycle.
It might be enough for some manufacturers to come up with this unique arrangement, but BMW has pushed the advantages even further. The space created by canting the cylinder block allows the transmission shafts to be stacked vertically to help reduce overall engine height and to better centralize the powerplant's mass.
A direct gear drive from the crankshaft to a wet, multiplate clutch minimizes driveline losses, while the compact nature of the engine allows for the use of a shaft final drive without compromise. The high-strength crankshaft is forged out of a single piece of steel, and employs 8 counterweights for excellent vibration control. In fact, the K 1200 S combines a superbike's power with a touring bike's low maintenance requirements, all at a remarkably low weight: The engine and transmission weigh less than 180 pounds.
Racing Experience Informs the Design
In an effort to maximize power output, BMW turned to its history of racing experience for design elements of the K 1200 S's 1157cc engine. The goal was not just class-leading power but compactness and low weight. To reduce engine dimensions, the K 1200 S employs a unique water pump arrangement. The lightweight pump is driven directly from the intake camshaft on the left side of the motorcycle. This location permits the pump to have very short and efficient connections to the cooling jacket in the cylinder head and to the radiator mounted below the front section of the frame. Reducing the length of hoses saves weight and improve heat dissipation.

Other techniques are used to reduce engine weight and size. For example, the lubrication system employs a remote reservoir so that the engine does not require a deep oil sump. The result is an engine that can be placed lower in the chassis for improved handling.
Inside the engine, the oiling system has been tailored using BMW's motorsports experience. Using a technology employed in BMW's famously powerful Formula 1 engines, the K 1200 S's crankshaft is lubricated by oil pumped directly into the end of the hollow crankshaft, where it can flow directly to the main-bearing and connecting-rod journals without the need for a ring groove in the big-end bearings.
This technology improves lubricating-oil flow and strengthens the connecting-rod bearings. Finally, dedicated oil galleries direct lubricant to the bases of the pistons to help dissipate the high thermal loads encountered by an engine tuned for this much sheer power.
Careful attention to the ancillary systems helps create an engine that is unusually narrow, too. For example, the camshafts are driven from a single chain to the exhaust cam; lightweight and accurate gears drive the intake camshaft from the exhaust camshaft. This design element allows the engine to be narrower overall and permits the head to be shorter front to back than would be possible with conventional technologies.
In addition, the 580-watt alternator is driven by gear atop the transmission case, further reducing width. Overall, the engine, at crankshaft level, is less than 17 inches wide, closer to the current 600cc powerplants than engines in the K 1200 S's displacement class.
The forward-angled cylinder bank reduces the engine's center of mass but carries other significant benefits as well. For instance, the intake tract can be very straight, which improves intake efficiency and power, and reduces emissions. On the other side of the cylinder head, the K 1200 S's lightweight exhaust system can be straighter, also for improved efficiency.
Twin Balance Shafts for Ultimate Smoothness
Inline-four-cylinder engines have characteristic vibration but the K 1200 S powerplant uses a technology also explored in the new R 1200 Boxer engines to make it inherently smooth. Twin balance shafts are gear driven by the crankshaft at twice the crankshaft speed and employ rubber bushings to reduce transmission of noise and vibration. These balance shafts reduce transmission of second-order vibration from the engine to the chassis and, therefore, to the rider, who will experience four-cylinder serenity as never before.
The K 1200 S's four-valve-per-cylinder head uses modern Formula 1 architecture, with a narrow valve angle - 10 degrees for the intake valves and 11 degrees for the exhaust valves, from vertical - to ensure a flat, efficient combustion chamber. This fast-burning chamber can then support a high compression ratio - 13.0:1, compared to 11.5:1 for the K 1200 RS - that not only maximizes power but helps reduce emissions and improve overall thermal efficiency. In this case, you can have power and low emissions in one package.
The K 1200 S's 16 valves are operated by lightweight rocker arms directly on the camshafts, with the cams displaced slightly outboard and down from the valve themselves. This configuration reduces the size of the cylinder head and permits longer valve stems for increased rigidity and durability. The lowered cam position also makes the engine shorter, front to back, considering the 55-degree angle of the cylinder block from the vertical.
Uncommon Partners: Shaft Final Drive, Cassette-Style Gearbox
Transferring power from the crankshaft to the rear wheel is a new-design six-speed transmission using stacked gears in a "cassette" configuration, installed into the cases from the side. This racing-inspired technology is not only lighter than conventional layouts but considerably more compact. The straight-cut gears are stronger than other types so they can be kept slender, for an overall reduction in width.
Sportbike enthusiasts have had to live with the muss and fuss of a chain final drive. No longer. The K 1200 S uses an updated version of BMW's highly regarded Paralever system, which employs a simple spur gear from the transmission output shaft. Although there are inherent efficiency losses with a dual-gear shaft system - one gear is used between the engine and the front of the shaft and another at the rear wheel - BMW has found from studying the real-world effects of chain deterioration and lack of maintenance that the actual losses are extremely small. Compared to previous shaft-drive systems, the K 1200 S's is far lighter and more compact.

Intelligent Engine Management
BMW's BMS-K (BMW Engine Management with Anti-Knock Control) Digital Motor Electronics debuted on the R 1200 GS and is implemented in a highly developed form on the K 1200 S. It features fully sequential cylinder-specific fuel injection with integrated anti-knock control and a new technology called alpha-n momentum-based engine management.
This innovation takes a range of parameters into account and uses indirect determination of air volume as a function of the throttle butterfly angle and engine speed. Fuel injection is fully sequential; each cylinder receives a jet of fuel precisely during the intake stroke. In addition, the fuel delivery system features variable-pressure technology- this reduces the need for a fuel-return pipe; the engine consumes all the fuel delivered to the injection rail.
This system also allows fuel pressure to be varied for optimum fuel/air mixture, which is then checked by an oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold. The K 1200 S's BMS-K also employs an automatic idle speed control. To ensure maximum output, the throttle bodies measure a generous 46mm across and use a patented progressive linkage to improve low-speed throttle response.
An important part of the BMW-K engine-management system is an integrated anti-knock system, which allows the engine to use a very high (13.0:1) compression ratio for optimum combustion efficiency without the worry of damaging detonation. Two sensors - one positioned between cylinders 1 and 2, the other between 3 and 4 -- detect knock and cause the BMS-K computer to retard ignition timing. As a result, this high-output engine can be run on a variety of fuels without damage; the main difference is the power output, which is greater with high-octane fuel.
And A Radical New Suspension System
BMW remains at the forefront of new suspension design with the K 1200 S. Using a concept developed by British inventor Norman Hossack in the 1980s, BMW then created a front-wheel suspension -- called Duolever -- with perfect kinematics. Conventional front suspension designs have involved a compromise between comfort and handling plus varying degrees of anti-dive effect when applying the brakes.
The modern Duolover system employs two longitudinal arms in parallelogram arrangement. A rectangular pivot made up of two almost parallel longitudinal arms turning within the frame allows free wheel motion. A bearing is housed in a light alloy casting and is connected to the longitudinal arms by two ball bearings. In this way, it can convey steering forces through an assembly resembling a pair of scissors. A central spring/damper assembly on the lower longitudinal arm provides the suspension and damping effect required.
The primary advantages of the Duolever design is that wheel stroke follows an almost straight line, with the bike's overall steering rake (castor) and wheelbase changing only minutely regardless of wheel travel. This consistent chassis geometry allows optimum stability while retaining agility. In addition, the low friction of the longitudinal arms means that wheel response remains smooth and consistent even under high lateral forces or when subject to severe bumps.
Because of this, the spring and damping rates can be kept firm without sacrificing comfort. This is the ultimate goal: Combine comfort and stability, stability and agility, high-load absorption and small-bump compliance. All at once.
In addition, the Duolever, like the Telelever A-arm system used extensively in the BMW line, transfers suspension loads into the frame, so that the overall stiffness of the frame is enhanced. And it's light: Weighing just 30.2 pounds, the entire Duolever system is 10 percent lighter than a comparable Telelever.
The Duolever system also provides effective anti-dive action when braking. Because of the Duolever's geometry, forces acting on the front wheel when applying the brakes cause virtually no compression of the spring, so the chassis attitude remains predictably flat. However, the dynamic distribution of wheel load gives the rider important feedback on braking effort similar to that of a conventional fork.
Full Electronic Control
With the K 1200 S, BMW introduces electronically controlled springs and dampers. Riders of high-performance sportbikes are accustomed to reaching for tools to make fine suspension adjustments, but they won't have to do any such thing on the K 1200 S. Using high-quality gas-pressure shocks and coil-over springs front and rear, the K 1200 S's suspension can be ordered with an option called ESA -- Electronic Suspension Adjustment.
This feature allows the rider to simply press a button on the handlebar and affect a change in spring and damping rates front and rear. The rider sets the load configuration - solo, solo with luggage, or rider with passenger and luggage - and the system determines the appropriate spring settings automatically. In addition, the rider can choose three riding modes - comfort, normal or sports - and the ESA will adjust the damping rates to suit. The damping modes can be changed on the fly, while the spring settings must be made with the bike at a standstill. The inherent benefit of the K 1200 S's ESA is that the damping rates are adjusted equally and suitably for the riding style.
Innovative Technologies Supported by and Advanced Frame
For the K 1200 S, BMW embraced new chassis technologies and frame designs with the aim of further reducing the bike's center of gravity and dramatically improving chassis rigidity and therefore dynamic stability. The frame is made up of a special construction of aluminum alloys. The side elements are pressure-cast aluminum notable for its very high strength-to-weight ratio and easy manufacturability.
Joining those elements are alloy extrusions and die-cast members welded by a high-precision automated machine. All together, the frame weighs a mere 25.4 pounds. Because the counterbalanced engine does not vibrate like a typical four-cylinder, it can be mounted solidly to the frame - no rubber isolators are necessary. In this way, the frame is further strengthened by the engine structure.
And it's not just the materials that break new ground. Because the K 1200 S's engine has been designed to lay forward, the main frame members could then be tilted toward the horizontal as well, which provides two crucial benefits: the overall center of gravity of the engine/frame unit can then be lower, and with a straighter path from the front suspension pickup point to the swingarm pivot, the frame could be more rigid without suffering a weight penalty.

Impressive Brakes With Adaptive Anti-Lock Control
BMW's acclaimed EVO brake system is standard on the K 1200 S. Integral ABS is available as an option. Disc diameters in front are 320mm with a single 265mm disc at the rear. The K 1200 S includes BMW's Partial-Integral adaptive braking system. Both brakes -- front and rear -- are activated whenever the rider pulls the handlebar-mounted lever, but only the rear brake is activated by the foot pedal. BMW has continued to develop the EVO ABS system and for the K 1200 S, the technology has been refined once again to take full advantage of the bike's peerless sporting performance.
These powerful brakes work through new-design wheels that are light yet strong. They carry traditional sportbike-sized tires - a 120/70ZR17 in front and a large-footprint 190/50ZR17 at the rear.
Ergonomics
The ergonomic design of the K 1200 S reflects its aggressive performance but retains the traditional BMW long-distance sensibilities. The frame is kept thin between the rider's legs because of the canted-cylinder engine design. Partly because of that, the rider's footpegs can be mounted low, for increased legroom. Despite this, the K 1200 S can be leaned at an angle of more than 50 degrees.
Cutting Edge Electronics
The K 1200 S breaks so much new ground for BMW that it would be easy to lose sight of the totality of the motorcycle's forward-thinking technologies. For example, like the R 1200 GS, the K 1200 S employs BMW's single-wire, CAN-bus electrical system, which greatly reduces the number of wires used in the main harness and dramatically reduces weight and complexity. Part of the CAN-bus is a new fully electronic instrument cluster featuring Info-Flatscreen for additional system information available at a glance.
Options and Accessories
A comprehensive list of BMW options and accessories are available for the K 1200 S. These include:

Options: Anti-theft warning system - Heated handgrips - Low-profile seat - ABS Brakes

Accessories: BMW Navigator II GPS moving-map system - Center stand - BMW adjustable side cases - Tank Bag

simply super bike Aprilia Pegaso 650

2010-12-27T06:54:00.000-08:00

Aprilia PEGASO 650

Aprilia has led the field in big singles for years now. The Pegaso 650 was Aprilia’s first ever big bike, and is still one of the best sellers in its class. In fact, the Pegaso has been the reference point for over-600 cc singles ever since its introduction.
But Aprilia’s R&D department never rests on its laurels. Determined to stay at the top, Aprilia is proud to present the latest innovative, high-tech Pegaso 650, the bike that sets new standards for big singles. A modern, four-valve, dry sump engine with electronic fuel injection, 44 mm throttle body, ultra-light wheels and sports brakes are just some of its technical features. Small wonder then, that the Pegaso 650 is the pace-setter the others will struggle to beat.
Fashions change, technologies develop, and performance improves, but Aprilia’s panache for creativity and flair for design remain unmistakably constant. In the Pegaso 650 technology and design have a single mission: to deliver maximum riding enjoyment. The innovative Pegaso 650 is the very definition of fun on two wheels, an urban supermotard designed for maximum riding satisfaction on all types of road, and light and versatile enough to guarantee it.

But beware! The Pegaso 650 is so agile, dynamic and fast that it can easily become addictive. Made to master the hairpins of mountain roads and trails, the Pegaso 650 brings you the unbeatable performance and manoeuvrability and the thrilling ride of a real sports bike.
Its rideability around town never ceases to amaze either. With a total steering angle of 76° (38°+38°), the Pegaso 650 flicks through the traffic like a compact scooter. So even going to work can be fun!
The Pegaso 650 is a true chameleon: at the drop of a hat it can become a totally different bike. An optional windshield (adjustable to two positions) is available to turn it from an aggressive streetfighter into a road-hungry tourer.

The Pegaso 650’s supermotard soul really comes to the fore when you power through the bends of twisting mountain roads. The Aprilia Pegaso 650 brings thrilling sports performance to leisure riders and demanding, hardened bikers. Its limited weight and the way its muscular single cylinder engine delivers its power give you amazing performance on country roads, and, most important of all, inspire riders with the confidence to explore their limits in absolute safety. The Pegaso 650 never holds you back. Because it is so easy to ride and its engine and chassis so perfectly balanced, the Pegaso 650 redefines the concept of rideability that has always typified Aprilia’s supersports, headed by the flagship RSV 1000.
STYLE
The Pegaso 650’s unmistakable personality, plus the sort of style that has always distinguished Aprilia motorcycles, make it instantly recognisable. Aggressive, eye-catching, and clearly Aprilia, the Pegaso 650 brings sports elegance to every ride. The Pegaso 650 looks lightweight and dynamic from the first glance.
The bike’s vocation for fun and enjoyment is clear even when it is on its side stand! The sleek, streamlined design of the Pegaso 650 declares the bike’s eagerness for sports riding even before the engine starts.
The Pegaso 650 sets new standards in motorcycle design. Every single part has been made for perfect functionality and ergonomics as well as good looks. The result is perfect integration between man and machine for unbeatable fun and universal rideability.
ENGINE
The Pegaso 650’s engine is a liquid cooled, four valve, single cylinder four stroke, equipped with an advanced electronic fuel injection system. The engine is designed for brilliant performance, low fuel consumption and, of course, extremely low emissions. The result is a machine that is fantastic to ride under all conditions.
The engine, which maintains Aprilia’s traditional dry sump design, stands out for its compact overall dimensions and advanced technology. This powerful but flexible powerplant has an exceptional torque curve, and accounts for the dual personality of the Aprilia Pegaso 650: docile and relaxed for daily commuting and touring, mean and aggressive for sports riding.
The Pegaso 650 has a healthy respect for the environment too. Like all Aprilia motorcycles it incorporates standard-setting engine technology, because fun and enjoyment must never endanger the environment. A catalytic exhaust keeps emissions at the threshold of current Euro 3 legislation.
Other features of this sophisticated engine that deserve special mention are its anti-vibration balancer shaft for smoother running and greater comfort and its single throttle body with latest generation micro-spray injector.
CHASSIS
A compact, single spar, steel frame is the perfect backbone for a thoroughbred supermotard like the Pegaso 650. Despite its extremely light weight, this frame delivers record rigidity as well as easy access for maintenance purposes.
Great care has been taken over suspension calibration to combine road holding and comfort. The Pegaso 650 is equipped with a robust fork with the largest diameter stanchions in its class (45 mm). Wheel travel is 140 mm. This fork provides the best possible compromise between easy riding, braking control and comfort. A robust anti-twist bridge helps make the front end even more rigid and imparts a feeling of solid reliability unequalled by any other bike.
The gas-filled Sachs monoshock at the rear is adjustable in spring preload and rebound. It too is calibrated for maximum control under sports riding conditions without penalising versatility. Rear wheel travel is 130 mm.
The Pegaso 650’s elegant aluminium alloy wheels copy those of the supersport RSV 1000 R Factory for an even more aggressive look. Wide rimmed wheels and large, road-going tyres (110/70 at the front, 160/60 at the rear) provide plenty of support for the Pegaso’s refined chassis. Great tyre grip and an extended area of ground contact guarantee a sensational ride in total safety.
The high strength wheel spindles are 20 mm in diameter but hollow for reduced weight.
The Pegaso 650 features a reduced seat height of only 780 mm for easy control. Riders of all statures, including lady riders, can therefore get their feet firmly on the ground. The special shape of the seat also makes it easier to move your body under sports riding conditions without penalising rider or passenger comfort. A higher seat (820 mm) is available as an optional extra to make the bike more comfortable for taller riders.

BRAKES
Absolutely nothing has been overlooked, and only the best available components have been used. The front brake features a mighty 320 mm floating disc with a four-pot caliper, for the sort of braking power and control normally only found on supersport machines.
This powerful front brake is complemented by a 240 mm disc, with a floating two-pot caliper at the rear. The entire braking system has been calibrated for maximum efficiency, power, response, and feel.
COMPONENTS
Just like all Aprilias, the Pegaso 650 is equipped with top quality, prestige components.
The following items deserve special mention:
• The generous, sporty looking instruments provide all the information you could possibly need. The analogue rev counter is complemented by a large, multi-functional digital display complete with on-board computer for all essential information.
• A mouse on the left hand switch group allows easy computer navigation and consultation.
• Various languages can be selected to provide an easy to read user interface.

The computer is safe and easy to use thanks to a convenient switchgear control that lets you select the display function you want without having to take your hands off the handlebars.
• 2 storage compartments. The front compartment is located in the top of the fuel tank, and can be opened electrically from a button on the handlebars, so there is no need to remove the key from the ignition: yet another example of how the Pegaso 650 is designed for unbeatable ergonomics and practicality.
The second compartment is located under the seat. The two compartments combine to provide ample room for small items. The seat also comes with provision for hooking up an elastic luggage net to improve carrying capacity on long journeys and holidays.
For convenience, the tank-top compartment is opened by a button on the handlebars, so your small change, mobile phone and toll tickets are always to hand even with the engine running. The under-seat compartment is the biggest ever seen on a bike of this type and provides plenty of room for your waterproofs and other personal effects.

• The electronic immobiliser can be reset in an emergency using a user programmable PIN number.
• The large headlight cluster incorporates simultaneously lit twin dipped and main beam units.

Trail Vedio

Simply unique bike Aprilia Tuono

2010-12-27T06:33:00.000-08:00

Aprilia Tuono is simply unique. The Tuono is a 1000 cc superbike. Only the fairing has been removed, and the handlebars raised for maximum control. The Tuono has exceeded all expectations. It has proved unbeatable as a road bike, and the Factory version has been invincible on the racetrack, literally dominating the Italian naked racing scene. Not satisfied with success at home, the Tuono has also carried the Aprilia flag on the international racing scene, achieving prestige in epic races like the Isle of Mann Tourist Trophy, to name just one event in which the Tuono has fearlessly taken on production bikes and competition superbikes too. The Tuono is a street fighter with racing in the blood.
The new Tuono 1000 R is refined, powerful, and precise. It holds all the records for this class of motorcycle, and is the unquestioned leader on the twin cylinder scene. To put it simply, the Tuono 1000 R is the bike that all other have to beat. It is a machine for the demanding motorcyclist, the rider who seeks maximum performance from a super bike, on the road and on the track.
With performance beyond the reach of the competition, the Tuono 1000 R is the best can buy, with all the performance of a racing superbike to thrill even the most sophisticated racetrack riders.
The 139 HP engine not only gives you more power to play with, but makes the bike more usable on the road too. Just like the RSV from which it derives, the Tuono 1000 R embodies the concept of “total ridability” that has always characterised Aprilia’s performance motorcycles.
Manically precise ergonomics combine with amazingly easy control to let you establish a perfect feeling with the bike the moment you ride off, and to help you maximise your own potential with the minimum physical and mental effort.

The improvements that Aprilia’s engineers have made will ensure that the Tuono 1000 R continues to set the pace for high performance bikes.
Let’s look at some of the main changes.
· New V 60 Magnesium Evolution engine
· Dynamic air intake (the only naked with ram air technology)
· Electronic fuel injection system with 57 mm throttle bodies
· 16 bit engine management unit
· Exhaust system with twin silencers and three way catalytic converter with Lambda probe oxygen sensor
· Aluminium alloy perimeter frame
· Double banana aluminium swingarm
· Lighter steering yoke

Once again Aprilia has succeeded in producing an exclusive, refined and unique naked. The latest Tuono 1000 R remains the most sought after of all naked twins, and the perfect synthesis of exclusive components, quality, technology and finish.
Like the RSV, the Tuono has been perfected on the track to satisfy the most demanding and refined motorcyclists. Each individual part has been developed to maximise the performance and riding pleasure of a naked that is already a legend in racing circles.
Engine performance is better than ever. Maximum power is 102 kW (139 HP) at the crank and maximum torque 10.9 kgm at only 8,500 rpm. The Aprilia Tuono 1000 R is therefore among the most powerful of all nakeds.

STYLING
The bike’s styling is unmistakably Aprilia, and unmistakably Tuono. The Tuono 1000 R maintains a close family look with the previous model and the RSV 1000 R from which it derives. The new, aggressive nose fairing, with closely mounted twin headlights, has been developed in wind tunnel testing to provide effective protection for the rider and to kill lift at high speeds, ensuring maximum precision and control.
The Tuono 1000 R has been designed with performance and comfort in mind. All parts are styled for stunning looks and maximum functionality. The two lateral spoilers, for example, not only look great but also serve an important aerodynamic purpose. They help keep the bike stable at high speed and keep the wind off the rider’s legs. It is partly thanks to these spoilers that the Tuono 1000 R provides better aerodynamic protection than any other naked.
The design team has also gone to great lengths to ensure that, unlike other nakeds, the Tuono 1000 R benefits from race-tuned engine breathing. The Tuono 1000 R is the only naked with a dynamic air intake located directly under the nose fairing, and a duct to channel ram air through the frame to the airbox. Yet more proof of the Tuono 1000 R’s uncompromising racing soul!
On the Tuono 1000 R, ergonomics is one of the bike’s strong points. The seating position has been carefully designed to give the rider maximum control over the front end. The handlebar risers are lower and the footrests have been moved further back, so that the riding position is sportier and more effective. Despite this, overall comfort has even improved, so that riding is less tiring.
The sleek tail with its integrated direction indicators is similar to that of the RSV but points upwards to enhance the Tuono 1000 R’s dynamic styling. The bike can also be rapidly transformed from dual seat to single by an official Aprilia kit (optional).

The V60 Magnesium Evolution engine
The latest 1000 cc V 60 Magnesium Evolution engine is derived from that of the RSV 1000 R Factory, with only a few minor changes to improve torque and muscle at low revs. The engine has been thoroughly redesigned to maintain its reputation as the best twin cylinder engine in production. So performance is more amazing than ever, with 100% usable power and, of course, that proverbial Aprilia reliability.
Engine breathing has been improved by new, bigger exhaust valves (enlarged from 31 to 33 mm in diameter) and new, larger diameter exhaust header pipes. Thanks to these improvements, the V60 Magnesium Evolution that drives the Tuono 1000 R puts out more power than ever, 139 HP at 9,500 rpm, while also boosting torque to an impressive 10.9 Kgm at 8,500 rpm, a figure that tells you all you need to know about the muscle that Aprilia’s V twin can deliver even at low revs.
The silencers have catalytic converters installed nearer to the collector pipes. This solution has reduced converter activation time by 50% while further reducing the level of exhaust emissions, keeping tem well within the strict limits required for Euro 3 homologation.
Optimised fluid dynamics inside the cylinder heads have been enhanced by improved mapping of the combined ignition and fuel injection systems to achieve higher power throughout the useful rev range.

So let’s have a look at the main characteristics of the new V 60 Magnesium Evolution engine:
· New optimised cylinder heads with bigger valves and one spark plug per cylinder
· 57 mm throttle bodies with one injector per cylinder
· High strength conrods
· Lighter overall weight thanks to the extensive use of magnesium
· Close-ratio gearbox
· Dry sump lubrication with a double trochoid pump, separate oil tank and oil cooler
· Mixed gear and chain valve timing. The drive gears (one for each timing chain) are located inside the crankcase to keep the cylinder heads as compact as possible.
· AVDC (Anti Vibration Double Countershaft).
· Aprilia’s patented PPC (Pneumatic Power Clutch) hydraulically operated, power assisted clutch system for controlling rear wheel bounce under deceleration

The Tuono 1000 R inherits the RSV’s dynamic air intake, locating it just under the headlight cluster, in the centre of the bike where ram air pressure is highest. The Air Runner duct (which also supports the nose fairing and instruments) channels the air to a 10.3 litre airbox, designed to allow the engine to develop its full potential. The Air Runner duct ensures that pressure in the airbox increases with speed, and generates a 3% increase in engine power at maximum speed.
An engine control unit developed in conjunction with Siemens VDO provides integrated engine management. The ECU receives all essential engine parameters in real time from 15 different sensors, processes the data and, again in real time, controls the various actuators that keep the engine functioning perfectly at all times.
The unit’s flash EPROM comes with the mapping for unrestricted racing exhausts ready loaded. Aprilia’s Technical Assistance Service can therefore enable race mapping in next to no time on request.

FRAME
Whether you are riding on the road or on the track, the Tuono 1000 R’s chassis brings you the tops in performance and control. Every aspect of the frame, fork and suspensions has been fine tuned for perfect weight distribution. In keeping with Aprilia traditions, the frame is a combination of aluminium-silicon alloy castings and Peraluman 450 pressed parts. This highly sophisticated structure is not only more rigid than the previous version but lighter too. The latest frame weighs under 10 kg (9650 grams) setting an impressive new record for its class. The wheelbase is shorter too, and at 1410 mm – another record for the category – accounts for the Tuono 1000 R’s crisper than even handling and more instinctive ride.
The new double banana swingarm provides a clear passage for the exhaust system and weighs only 4860 grams, well under the 5 kg figure considered by experts to be the reference weight for this component.

SUSPENSION
The fork is a Showa upside down unit, with 43 mm stanchions for a perfect balance between precision on the racetrack and comfort on the road. And to ensure that the ideal setup can be achieved for all styles and conditions, on the road and on the track alike, the fork is fully adjustable in spring preload and in compression and rebound damping. The Sachs monoshock at the rear is likewise adjustable in spring preload and rebound damping.

BRAKING SYSTEM
The braking system has undergone a number of major changes. The new Tuono 1000 R is equipped with Brembo Gold radial calipers featuring two separate sintered pads. The two 320 mm floating steel discs feature a narrower braking band to minimise inertia and weight and are fixed in place by Aprilia’s exclusive six spoke flange.
The rear braking system is Brembo Gold too, with a 220 mm stainless steel disc and a caliper with two 32 mm pistons.
The front and rear brakes both use aeronautical metal braided hoses to eliminate the sponginess inevitably associated with conventional brake hoses and to ensure maximum braking precision.

COMPONENTS
What makes the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R stand out from the competition is the tremendous care and attention that Aprilia has paid to every little detail. The design team have done their very best to ensure that every component on the bike improves its performance and functionality, reduces its weight and enhances its quality and finish.

The following components deserve special mention.
- The dashboard is a mixed (digital-analog) unit. It uses the data received over the CAN line to perform an essential autodiagnostic function for which it incorporates a dedicated memory. The new dashboard control unit performs the same functions as the previous unit (including the 40 lap timer) but is more compact and modern in design and extremely lightweight. User friendliness has improved too, with all functions controlled from two practical push-buttons on the left hand light switch.

The LED backlighting can also be adjusted to three levels of intensity.
· The headlight cluster is derived from that of the RSV, and incorporates four light units for perfect night-time visibility.
· The new tail light cluster features the innovative design and LED lighting of the RSV.

2010-12-25T06:12:00.000-08:00

A simple bike, two wheels, a fuel tank, a seat, and a big engine.
A concept who keep his quest to the essential design.
The engine is aimed to be a 1200cc, the bike claimed a 180Kg weight and a power of 140 Hp.
A really beautiful bike

But to be called « Cafe Racer » a bike must be brutal and made for selfish motorcyclists. This one is totally on the line, and is featured with a ridiculusly small seat, but with tail light integrated.
The rider will also take in hands a really beutifull handlebar, race style, but in high position
