With the width of no man's land between the E-Class and the 5-Series rapidly diminishing, ZigWheels sets out to sort a crisis that has raged for decades - which one is really better than the other?
For years the war has waged, and yet the world continues to be divided distinctly in two. This is the saga of the three pointed star and the propeller, and their most contested warriors - the E-Class and the 5-Series. It was the year 2009 and Mercedes-Benz struck a devastating blow to the established order. Up until then there had always been a distinct demarcation of territories between the Mercedes E-Class and the BMW 5-Series. The E was always the more opulent one - focussing wholely on luxury and pampering. The image of outright performance and driving pleasure belonged to the 5 with its near-perfect handling, aggressive styling and overall feel. But the new E-Class was radically different.

The truce had been broken and in its all-new guise, the E was now moving closer to BMW territory than it ever had before. It transformed to a machine with mean styling and loads of attitude, but the best part was the way it now felt to drive - planted and reassuring like it always had been but begging for a whole lot more action from its drivers.

Bavaria couldn't take this assault on its space too lightly - something had to be done. The sixth generation had to bring the 5 back to BMW roots and while at it, also had to send a strong message back to its rivals in Stuttgart. The car had to be subtler in appearance and had to cut into Mercedes territory just as the E-Class had cut into theirs. The new 5-Series had to be just as good to drive as its previous generation had come to be known for, yet had to get more luxurious on the inside - an acceptable balance had to be met, and it has

Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) is supposed to launch its sports tourer, Honda VFR1200F, in India by next two years. According to rough estimates, the bike would be availabe at Rs 30 to Rs 35 lakh as it will attract 110 per cent import duty due to completely built unit (CBU). However, there is no official word about the rumor. The sports tourer was showcased in Tokyo Motor Show in 2009. The very first model of the bike will be delivered in early 2010 in Japanese and European markets. The company claims that this is a very new motorcycle and possesses V4 technology with dual clutch transmission. Honda VFR1200F is a blend of sports and touring bike which is loaded with advacned technology. The news is reported by an Indian auto magazine.

Honda VFR1200F
Recently, Honda has launched Honda CB Twister-first entry-level bike from the company in India. Besides this bike, Bajaj Pulsar 135, TVS Jive and TVS Wego were launched a couple of days before.

VFR1200F honda stunning

2010-06-21T02:10:00.001-07:00

Radical doesn’t begin to describe the all-new 2010 VFR1200F. Cycle World called it “revolutionary” after they took it for their inaugural spin, and while this incredible—and incredibly stunning—new machine is indeed all that, it’s also much more, marking a truly evolutionary shift in the future of high-performance sport-touring motorcycles. Decades of innovative engineering has brought you features like layered, MotoGP-inspired bodywork that’s literally fused in seamless perfection for optimal aerodynamics. An all-new, super-compact Unicam® design 1237cc V4 engine, fueled by Honda’s first-ever Throttle By Wire system. A slipper clutch. Combined Braking with standard ABS. And lastly, in what is perhaps the most groundbreaking advancement, an optional automatic dual-clutch transmission complete with F1-style paddle shifters!

The 2010 VFR1200F. Yet again, Honda redefines what a motorcycle can be.

Setting a New V4 Standard.

Arguably one of the most advanced streetbike engines ever, the VFR1200F’s all-new 1237cc Unicam®-head V4 is state-of-the-engine-art from top to bottom end.

Formula 1 on Two Wheels.

Imagine shifting gears, on the fly, with a simple flick of your left finger or thumb? And that’s just one of the modes on the VFR1200F’s incredible new dual clutch transmission (optional).

High-Performance Art.

Before now, the VFR1200F’s layered concept fairing—with its smooth, unified, fastener-free surface—was limited to MotoGP bikes and the like. Never have aerodynamics and aesthetics worked so well together.

What's a Hybrid Bike? And Why Would I Want One?

2010-03-29T05:01:00.000-07:00

You go to a bike shop and you'll find only two kinds of bikes, right? A road/racing bike for going fast, and mountain bikes for going through the woods.

If that's what you've been led to believe, you're in for a treat. Hybrid bikes -- the fastest growing category of bikes sold -- are quickly becoming the ride of choice for people who want the best of all worlds. They've got the speed and lightness of a road bike, combined with a more comfortable upright riding position and extra durability and control of a mountain bike.

So, if you're mostly riding on paved roads or bike paths but don't want to be all hunched over on the bike like you're a racer in the Tour de France, a hybrid may be right for you.

CBR1100XX Blackbird, launched in 1996, was the world's fastest production motorcycle at the time. The Blackbird cultivated reputation as a powerful, fast, and reliable sports motorcycle. Although its status of the fastest bike was taken by Suzuki Hayabusa, its production continued and was halted only in late 2007.

Suzuki Hayabusa is among the most popular sports motorcycles ever produced. Since its inception the Suzuki Hayabusa was widely regarded as the fastest bike in production in the world until major Japanese motorcycle manufacturers voluntarily imposed speed regulators in their bikes under pressure from European governments.

Hayabusa the super bike

2010-03-29T04:32:00.000-07:00

Imported super bikes have a cult status among Indian bike aficionados. Cash-rich, style-savvy Indian youth never mind exorbitant pricing of the high-performance superbikes like Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki Ninja. These awesome machines ply on the Indian roads enthralling motorbike enthusiasts. As the home-grown automobile manufacturers are yet to come up with genuine high-speed superbikes, these are imported from other countries.

It is a common question why Indian manufacturers don’t make superbikes. The is that the common Indian bike rider is a commuter and not an enthusiast and that is precisely what Indian bike manufacturers cater to (the sub 150 cc segment having the highest volumes). Of course any manufacturer would make what is in demand. So when it came to ultra performance superbikes, they had to be imported.

Indian Government had put restrictions on import of more powerful bikes. However, these were eased in the EXIM Policy 2001.

Hayabusa the world's fastest bike

2009-05-30T07:02:00.000-07:00

After Yamaha's 1000cc YZF-R1 and Monster & Multistrada from Italian moto-major Triumph, now it is the turn of Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL), a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan has launched two super sport bikes, Hayabusa and Intruder M1800R, for Indian roads at a price tag of Rs.12.50 lakh.

Hayabusa the world's fastest bike, which got it's maximum popularity through the movie "Dhoom" in India, is finally on the Indian roads officially.

Even in these days of recession, Suzuki aims to sell around 350-400 bikes in one year, i.e. around 1 bike per year.According to the company, it has already got orders for around 38 bikes.

Depending upon the response to these products, Suzuki —among the largest manufacturer of bikes in the world after fellow Japanese makers Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki—also plans to bring its GSX -R series of motorcycles to India.

“We are currently evaluating the market. A lot of the product launches depend on the market response to the Hayabusa and Intruder, though we are expecting higher demand for the much smaller GSX-R sport bikes, which are in the 400 cc to 600 cc range of engine power,” Mr Gupta said.
