The Suzuki GSX R750

The Suzuki GSX R750 was based on their endurance bike, the GS1000R XR41, which won the 1982 World Endurance Championship. In fact it was hard to tell the road going version from the endurance machine which copies the twin headlamp fairing and the 18 inch wheels.

This road going bike was designed to address the problem of power and weight prevalent at the time. Suzuki had decided to try and leap frog the competition by designing a Superbike that not only went well but also handled well. The GSX R750 had the design brief to be ultra-powerful and for the first time in a Superbike, to also be ultra-light.

 

The lightness was achieved in two ways. The first consisted of a radical new aluminium frame. Aluminium was already used for the frames of Suzuki's RG 250 lightweights, but this new frame was not only the first to be able to handle high horsepower, it also had some 60 less parts than a steel frame of that era.

 

Another stroke of genius by the Suzuki engineers was the use of oil cooling. One of the problems of engine cooling is that straight forward air cooled engines suffer a degradation in performance as they get hotter. Until then, the traditional remedy to this was to add water cooling, but the drawback with water cooling meant the fitment of additional parts and therefore increased weight, which went some way to reduce the performance increase achieved by the cooling itself.

The Suzuki GSX R600 is the new GSX model from one of the worlds leading motorbike manufacturers

The Suzuki GSX R600 was unveiled to the worlds press at the Almeria racing circuit earlier this week. There was a consensus from all of the press that the new Suzuki model has provided some great advances on older Suzuki Models.

The biking press were out in force to test the bike and view the modifications made by the production team. As we say above there was a general positive response to the GSX-R600 which comes with the strap line "Some believe its the taking part that counts, some believe its winning. We believe its owning the race track".

 

There are many changes in the new GSX R600 non more than the fact that its 9kg lighter than the earlier models, also the engine a new spec on the 600cc liquid cooled DOHC engine. The engine is equipped with pistons that are 78g lighter each.

The chassis is built using a five piece welded together castings, the way the chassis is constructed has added a 1.75kg weight reduction and re placed some of the main elements of the bike. The development highlights are quoted as fully floating front brake discs with radial mount Brembo Monoblock callipers and adjustable controls. The design of the discs was completed to give more options and more even pad wear.

 

The Gixxer Six seems to have taken a big leap forward, but what excites us most is the 750cc version. The GSX-R750 is virtually identical to the 600, but it’s packing 20% more power while carrying just 6 lbs extra. The best part is its $11,999 MSRP, just $400 more than the GSX-R600.

2011 The MV Agusta F3

It only takes a short glance at the F3 to realize it’s something special. Its chiseled styling makes for an immediately positive first impression, which is then underlined by a sexy single-sided swingarm and one of the coolest exhaust systems ever, a triple-pipe shorty outlet that is a symphony of design.

Symphonic, too, should be the sound of the 675cc three-cylinder engine at full song. We’re huge fans of Triumph’s 675 Triple, both its sound and character, so we’ve got some high expectations for MV’s version.

 

 

amazing motorcycle: The Kawasaki ZX-14

The Kawasaki ZX-14 is the flagship of Kawasaki motorcycles. The ZX-14 is the most powerful Kawasaki ever produced, and was once the fastest production motorcycle in the world. Kawasaki claims the new version is "the quickest and most powerful production motorcycle". Since the introduction of the ZX-14 in 2006, this monster has dominated open-class sportbike, and the race technology has been handed down to the street-legal version nicely. Pure power is synonymous with the ZX-14, but this beast is just plain awesome in so many other ways. The ZX-14's 1352CC, four-cylinder, DOHC engine makes incredible torque and power while this bike still handles great, not exactly a small feat of engineering!

The engineers at Kawasaki have to get a lot of credit for creativity for the 2008 version. To meet stricter noise regulations, Kawasaki looked inside the motor and quieted down the motor rather than doing more extensive work on the exhaust, thus leaving the exhaust more free-flowing! Smart. Kawasaki claims this results is a gain of power! The ZX-14 has also become greener by adding a third catalyzer therefore reducing emissions and meeting ever-growing emission control regulations.

Not to forget that the engine isn't the only thing going for it, let's get to the frame. The ZX-14's aluminum sections of its frame has been produced using gravity casting in previous years, but it is now being die-casted to produce a lighter frame. It's monocoque design is a light and very strong frame.

This motorcycle shows what true ram-air induction is all about by taking the air from the center of the fairing to the airbox for optimal power.

Handling- The rear suspension uses Kawasaki's 'uni-trak' design, helping to drop the center of gravity by lowering the weight within the chassis with bottom-link design.

The Kawasaki ZX-14 is an overall amazing motorcycle. Power and handling in one package.

Kawasaki ZX-10R ringing in at $13,799

One caveat: Kawasaki recently placed a “technical hold” on ZX-10Rs, withdrawing shipped models from the market until it solves a still-undisclosed problem, rumored to be within the engine but not something that could cause catastrophic failure. Kawasaki is playing conservative with this issue, but you can bet they’ll have it sorted promptly.

 

 

The Kawasaki was my early favourite. It steers beautifully, holds a line, is agile in the chicanes and has a storming amount of power. If we had left all the bikes on standard suspension settings, there's a good chance the Kawasaki could have taken the victory in this track test.

All the other bikes here are set up to be stable and reassuring on the road, with relatively soft set-ups and slow steering. It's not until you adjust them - speed up the steering and stiffen them up that they become useful on the track.

The Kawasaki ZX-10R needs hardly any tweaking for it to work straight away. That's why it's such an unstable, scary monster on the road when you accelerate over bumps at speed. But on a straights, and is faster than the Ri. But compared to the Yamaha you have to wait too long for the power to chime in when you get on the throttle, so it feels slower coming off a corner. Taking the corner in a lower gear won't catch the R1, either - the lower gear slows you down too much going into and through the corner.

 

 

Anyway, you can’t buy a cheaper TC-equipped sportbike than the ZX, ringing in at $13,799. A racetrack-developed ABS system adds $1000 to the price.

The HONDA CBR250R starting Price from $3999

“I'm quite interested in Honda's attempt to snatch away market share from Kawasaki's venerable Ninja 250R,” Pete observes. “The CBR250R is powered by a Single, and so should produce a neat Thumper-style exhaust note and should also make good, grunty low-end power, all while looking like a larger, more upscale Honda sportbike.”

 

 

 

The new CBR is clearly targeted at the Ninjette – Honda has set its MSRP at an identical $3999. Honda one-ups the Kawi by offering ABS, a $500 option, and standard fuel injection.

2011 The Ducati Diavel prices start at $16,995

“Let's see,” Pete muses. “A motorcycle with a claimed 162 hp and 94 ft-lbs joined by ABS, traction control, rider-selectable engine mapping, a slipper clutch and a monstrous 240mm rear tire from Pirelli. I like most cruisers, but I think I'll like Ducati's interpretation of a cruiser even more.”

 

Here is some key of 2011 Ducati Diavel from many source

2011 The BMW K1600GT

The sporty-ish K16GT will replace the 4-cylinder K1300GT, and the K1600GTL becomes the luxury-touring wagen of the reputable German brand. Both are available with a gamut of technology and luxury options, including electronically adjustable suspension, traction control, heated seats and grips, and multi-mode engine mapping, among a host of other options that should deliver a truly regal ride. And the engine sounds delicious, as we heard when we saw the K16 revealed at Jay Leno’s garage last month.

 

 

 

Aprilia Tuono V4R

Now comes the SE version to sweeten the pot RSV4 Factory in April, with the addition of traction control, wheelie control, launch control and an electronic exchange, you can learn more from our correspondent in euros First Ride Review. Aprilia went and did one of our favorite literbike all times, even better! That will sell for $ 22,499 when it arrives on our shores in mid-2011.

 

 

And if you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket and you have to drive like Max, Aprilia Superbike provides specifications, 200 horsepower race-ready Biaggi Replica for the modest sum of $ 64,000.
