2013 Performance Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC ABS SBK SE Review

From the time it appeared on the scene, it had been clear to any or all its rivals that the Aprilia RSV4 was the bike to beat.

Unmistakeable in its style lucidity and applied technology, the RSV4 is planned around a 65° V4 engine neer before seen on a manufacturing plant sport bike, a frame that is that the heir to a family that has won eighteen titles and 143 auto race races within the 250 physician category, increased by the foremost advanced applied physical science systems to manage the engine and also the bikes dynamic performance. this is often a real vocation of Aprilia, that was the primary manufacturer to adopt the Ride By Wire system as customary instrumentation (the multimap power management system), however especially the primary to patent the APRC dynamic system, still these days the sole one with the exclusive self-calibration and wheelie management options.

This technological initial is consolidated these days with the MY2013 range: Aprilia RSV4 R ABS and manufacturing plant ABS square measure the models that, for the amount and quality of recent content and enhancements, beyond question represent the foremost necessary advancements ever created on this extraordinary model.
2013 Performance Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC ABS SBK SE Review
The new frontier in technology

The new Aprilia RSV4 R ABS and manufacturing plant ABS represent the newest of contemporary technology and come through the target of perfecting what was already prime of the road within the previous versions, idolised and appreciated by rockers and riders everywhere the planet, not solely attributable to their frame and chassis qualities, however additionally due to the advanced dynamic management systems adopted. APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) is that the renowned dynamic management suite derived directly from the winning technology in world Superbike, the foremost complete and refined of these presently out there on the market.

Review Monster 796 Rossi MotoGP Replica

by 10:46 PM
 

As a famous Racer Rossi select Monster 796 you want to try...?
According to Ducati, the Monster 796 produces 87 hp at 8,250 rpm and has 58 ft-lb. of torque at 6,250 rpm, compared to the Hypermotard 796’s 81 hp at 8,000 rpm and 55.7 ft-lb. at 6,250 rpm.Like its larger sibling, the M1100, the Monster 796 has a single-sided swingarm
The new Monster 796 will be available in Ducati Red, arctic white silk or diamond black silk, each with the classic red trellis frame. Ducati is also offering a series of customized graphics called “Logomania”, the second part of the Project Monster Art collection.
The Monster Art kits offer a number of options based on classic bikes from Ducati’s past. Also available for the Monster 1100 and Monster 696, the kits include tank covers, a mudguard, a micro-bikini fairing and seat cover.

MCN Ride Review
“The twisting mountain roads on the outskirts of Bologna prove to be a very practical test for the Monster 796; the third example of the present Monster range. There hasn’t been a Monster to fill the gap between the 696 and the 1100 since the demise of the Monster 750 several years ago. Ducati claim the Monster 796 is as easy to ride as the 696 but with greater performance and this is exactly how the 796 feels to ride.
“The bike has a strong spread of torque and makes the gears feel taller than they are. It pulls cleanly through the midrange and acceleration is strong – easily enough to make you smile as you barrel through – and between – the twists. This engine is perfectly suited to the stiff chassis of the traditional trellis frame and obligatory single sided swing arm. All in all, it’s a bike made to make you smile – and does so with ease. I like it.


While the Monster 796 is fitted with the micro-bikini fairing and single seat cover as standard, it also features a new seat designed with a comfort-enhancing shape, further accentuated with stylish red stitching. Furthermore, the rear sub-frame has been constructed ready to accept new accessory grab-handles designed to provide a confidence-inspiring grip for the passenger, while blending into the natural line of the rear-end.

2011 Monster 796 in 13 Colors

The new Monster 796 comes in traditional Ducati red, new arctic white silk or diamond black silk with all three colors against a red Trellis frame and black wheels, which feature a new red flash around 60° of the rim side, creating a red stripe at speed. Monster Art extends the 3 standard colors to 13 with the new collection, ‘Logomania.

Further aesthetic enhancements come from the footrest hangers finished in matte black to match the rear sub-frame and single-sided swingarm, new Ducati logo on the front mudguard and the Tricolore displayed proudly on the single-seat cover and fuel tank.

The 2011 Ducati Monster 796 will be slotted into the lineup between the 696 and 1100 models, both of which will still be produced. The new Monster is powered by an air-cooled Desmodue 796 engine, which first debuted in the Hypermotard 796 in late 2009.

Review And Performance Ducati 1199 panigale

by 6:15 PM
 
 For fans of Ducati, the great news is here: the bike maker has finally unveiled the 1199 Panigale superbike, which is able to be on the market in 2012. Unveiled at the International Milan motorbike Show, Ducati are introducing multiple models of the superbike together with the 1199 Panigale, 1199 Panigale S, and also the 1199 Panigale Tricolore, that happens to the top-end variant of the bike. Known for a few of the foremost cutting technology in their bikes, this Ducati can feature what would be strong} and robust engine, a big a part of the power-to-weight ratio.
Looking at the bike would build it amply clear that it’s one thing meant each for racing, still as everyday usage. The sleek racing like body, fitted with the newly introduced twin cylinder engine generating 195HP of muscle, makes it ideal for power biking, or rather gliding. no matter surface its going to be, the racing tires guarantee complete management of the bike in any respect times so conjointly making certain a smoother expertise on the complete.
In November (10-13) this year, therell be ton of} additions to the 2012 lot of power bikes, that Ducati can unveil at the EICMA 2011, along side its new assortment of attire and also the already highlighted 1199 Panigale bike. The new additions embrace the Streetfighter 848, Streetfighter S, 848EVO, 848EVO Corse special edition, and Ducati Diavel. The Diavel is meant to own four distinct versions; normal, chromo, carbon, and conjointly the Diavel AMG Special Edition, that was conjointly showcased at the recently concluded Frankfurt Motor Show 2011.

Ducati has unveiled another stunning and highly innovative creation with their 1199 Panigale as a part of their 2012 Superbike family.
The most high tech, most powerful twin-cylinder production engine on the earth is currently an integral a part of an innovative monocoque chassis that mix to deliver an astonishing 195hp from 164kg (361.5lb) of futuristic Italian thoroughbred. the best production motorbike power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios within the world are fitting trophies for the unbelievable results that Ducati have achieved. Bred for the track and trained for the road, the new 1199 Panigale may be a true revolution of the species destined to influence the whole sportsbike setting.

So you’ve examine the Ducati 1199 Panigale launch at the EICMA show in Milan. You’ve scanned the photo gallery (we have additional on the way) and confirmed the checkmate video however still don’t understand your RbW from your DTC? to not mention Ducati’s new EBC? browse on and we’ll offer you the low down on all the 1199 Panigale details in our ancient deep dive of recent Ducati models.
A contemporary begin

You could are forgiven for thinking that Ducati had gone a little soft. Afterall, the 1198′s hegemony on the road was surpassed in recent years by 2 different European upstarts, BMW and Aprilia. Their clearly additional race oriented, laborious core expression of the open category sportbike redefined what it took to compete at the best level. solely King Carlos Checa may restore some honor for Bologna when he took the globe Superbike title this year when Aprilia’s convincing victory in 2010 with Max Biaggi.
After 2 years focussing on abundant softer segments whereas introducing initial the Multistrada 1200 and then the Diavel, Ducati roars back for 2012 with an entire ground up rethink of what a Ducati Superbike is. virtually everything is newly conceived from the powerplant that retains solely the 90º V angle and desmodromic valve actuation from its forebears, to the unconventional, MotoGP galvanized monocoque chassis and alphabet soup of electronic riding aids.
Ducati had a goal for this initial Superbike model in-tuned a reputation still as variety. That goal was for the Panigale to weigh absolutely 10kg (22lbs) but the 1198 and turn out twenty five additional horse power. That this has been achieved is spectacular enough, to own access to the current level of performance and technology for $17,995 is nearly unbelievable.
Compare the 1199 to the 1098 that replaced the commercially unsuccessful 999 vary in 2007. in barely five years, the bottom model open category Ducati Superbike adds thirty five horsepower, removes weight and bristles with traction management, quickshifter, switchable riding modes with full ride by wire throttle management, a racing vogue engine braking management and optional ABS (in some markets notably not the USA). It even extends the engine service interval to fifteen,000 miles (24,000 km)!
The S adds electronically adjustable Ohlins suspension, swaps the no name steering damper for an Ohlins one, has the obligatory solid aluminum Marchesini rims, a carbon fiber front mudguard and, a world initial, LED headlamp. The Tricolore goes more still, however additional on that later.
Monocoque Chassis
The die-cast aluminum monocoque chassis uses the all new Superquadro powerplant as a totally stressed member and includes the airbox that is complete and sealed off when the aluminum tank is fitted (so no plastic tank swelling issues here). Why abandon the signature Ducati steel trellis?
Simple. Weight. each the whole quantity of it and where its. The new monocoque chassis accounts for absolutely 1/2 the burden saving with the new tank another half-hour, despite being a bigger capability than the 1198.

2010 Kawasaki Versys Review

by 3:30 AM
Kawasaki Versys specifications

After Kawasaki Versys first appeared in late 2006, sales were not quite as strong as the Kawasaki hopes, especially after that gathering good reviews.

Marketing people decided that this was because they would claim too much for the bike, suggested at that time shall be in accordance with anyone of the passengers for the Superbike riders.

Its more likely that the limp-looking tongue working against it, and while many motorists became convinced by the large capacity adventure bikes, the middle class version of this "high-rounders" still has some work to do to become fully accepted.

The loser not only a Kawasaki, but the raft riders who will get more than a Versys - and probably for less money - than they ended up buying a bike, because a motorcycle is always a good crack. I, for one, loved it and are happy to live with the Versys as the one my motorcycle, doing-everything.

Now the styling has been revised, while several other changes designed to address aspects of the Kawasaki motorcycle owners say they want to see improvements.

Now look more sharp, aggressive and confident, and less inclined to put people on the bike, and while the designers back on it they change the face of the screen to increase the wind protection and remove with the resonance annoying buzz that can happen in previous versions of the older models.

Some owners complained that suspension is too harsh, so it softened the 2009 version of the old model, and arrangements have been made to 2010, while the new rubber footrests and rear engine mounting rubber insulation has been added to reduce vibration reaching the rider and passenger, pillion also obtained wider seats.

There is a new end cap on the silencer and that was it, and everything works fine.
Sense of the motor is as it looks, tall and thin with a comfortable, ergonomic nature, underscoring why the types of bikes are becoming more and more popular as tourers, in addition to other tasks.
Rose upright position this is a good start, offering a good view of the commander to admire the scenery like that to see more from the roof of the car in traffic snarled-up.

The smoothness of the newly discovered at the cruising speed is a boon as well, especially power over anything from 55mph to 80mph, where nothing can pass through barriers intrusive vibration rubber.

There was a small increase in tingles at 4000 rpm on light throttle, but thats of concern.

This new model is significantly smoother than the old one - if nothing else to persuade owners of existing Versys, this alone makes it worth the upgrade.


Continue to produce its new screen as well, creating a wind shadow bigger than before with more smooth air flow, especially up to the highest position where the old is too volatile.

Mirrors are also new and offers a better view, partly because their area is larger at the outer edge but also because they are less blur with vibrations. You can still see the passengers elbow in it but thats just as well, as the man behind can feel a little difficult.

This chair may be wider, but overall it is still quite short and ridership was perched right at the back with nothing behind to provide support - on the side grab handles and the footrests are too far forward, aggravate the sensation.

A top box will assist in this, but then you can not enter the panniers, which means that the Versys is more suitable for a solo tour.

Additional mass will begin to stretch the ability of a bicycle brake as well. Stopper the solo adequate, with some sharpness to tame them intentionally to terminate the suspension rebounds from a long trip up and down too much when the brakes are often used. With more than their weight requires squeezing hard, so will be eligible for optional ABS.

Go alone down the winding road back, however, and not only brake to work, so is the rest of the bike.

Its nimble enough to throw around easily and where will the suspension soaked up the bumpy roughness with impressive capabilities - it lends to ride a bike excellent quality and speed when erect.

Rotating motor 10 500 rpm past the red line pretty fast bike ready and drive forward, but most owners will let him dwell in the low and mid range where there is enough performance for most situations and throttle response to give real pleasure.

It is important for all-round, 19-liter tank is good for 210 miles or more before the lead, thanks to the real world economy of about 50mpg.

Its unrealistic to go the distance and match the BMW GS (if not a cave-drunk GS Adventure), and soft rider will do better.

Two-up touring, then, is stretching the ability of the bike a little too far, but for other things that are very capable machine, with more than enough capability for most motorists who currently choose to GS. In fact, more obedient in the city and in general the situation closely.

Its also much cheaper, and with Honda Kawasaki to compete with the top spot in the league reliability, no doubt more reliable than German bike as well.

Versys If you missed the first time around, its really worth seeing a second - thats what gave the Kawasaki, so hopefully it will register on the radar more riders. Via: Kawasaki Versys Review

2013 Yamaha Stratoliner S Features and Benefits
Engine:
•1854cc, air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV, 4 valves per cylinder, 48°, V-twin powerplant produces massive torque and class leading acceleration.

•Traditional pushrod valve actuation keeps engine height down for a lower centre of gravity and ensures more uniform heat dissipation due to absence of a cam chain case. A lower centre of gravity helps to insure light, easy handling.

•Four-valve cylinder heads provide optimal breathing efficiency for great power delivery at all rpms. The two spark plugs per cylinder means faster, more complete combustion for maximum power output.

•Cylinder head design utilizes a pent roof combustion chamber design and features a oil passage near the exhaust valve seat to improve cooling and durability. The heads also feature engine mounting points on each side of the head for increased chassis rigidity for exceptional handling. The engine is a stressed member.
•Large size valves increase engine horsepower and torque. The intake valves are 36mm in diameter while the exhaust valves are 31mm.

•Specially designed valve train includes short design intake and exhaust rocker arms that reduce inertia during higher rpm use.
•High performance spec twin, crankcase-mounted, high-lift cams ensure strong torque and class leading acceleration.
•Mechanical centrifugal decompression mechanism located in each of the exhaust camshafts ensures fast, easy starts. This system is contained inside the camshafts and reduces weight and complexity since no solenoid etc. is required.
•Hydraulic valve lifters driven by the twin camshafts deliver exceptional performance and significantly reduce maintenance and tune-up requirements.

•100mm pistons are both durable and lightweight. Yamahas exclusive "controlled forged construction" keeps the pistons light for faster response and to accommodate higher-rpm performance with reduced vibration and less reciprocating mass. The pistons feature an Alumite coating to reduce friction.
•The dry sump oil lubrication system has been optimized to ensure maximum lubrication and cooling . Special oil nozzles direct oil at the bottom of the pistons to cool and lubricate them.
•Special "dual chamber" crankcase design. The front section is for the crank assembly while the rear is for the transmission. Two, 3-rotor high capacity oil pumps optimizes oil flow in each of the two main sections of the engine.

•100mm bore ceramic composite-plated cylinders provide uniform heat dissipation, reduce weight, reduce friction and increase cylinder service life.
•Cooling fin thickness and depth is optimized for maximum heat dissipation, thereby eliminating the need for liquid cooling, while maintaining that traditional, stylish air-cooled engine appearance.

•Optimized "damper-less" crankshaft allows the rider to feel the directness of the engines power. For each rotation of the rear wheel, in 5th gear, the crank spins 3.14 times providing an outstanding rear wheel driving force feeling to the rider.
•Compact design dual engine counter balancers reduce vibration for exceptional rider and passenger comfort.
•3-axis crankcase layout means the crankshaft, main axle and drive shaft are specially arranged to minimize the size of the engine cases and centralize mass.
•43mm, twin-bore, downdraft throttle body fuel injection (FI) with throttle position sensor (TPS) ensures great throttle response and maximum power throughout the rev range. This system is a "closed loop" system since it utilizes an oxygen sensor in the exhaust to monitor the concentration of oxygen and adjust the FI system if necessary. The benefits of fuel injection include chokeless operation, increased fuel economy, instant throttle response and reduced emissions.
•The 12-hole, 2-directional Mikuni injectors produce a wide spray pattern for complete cylinder filling. This special spray pattern combined with the dual spark plug heads to ensure complete combustion for maximum power. A Idle Speed Control (ISC) has been adopted to ensure stable idling performance.
•High capacity electronic fuel pump is located in the sub tank under the seat.
•Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (T.C.I.) provides a hot spark for sure starts and strong engine performance.

•State-of-the-art Electronic Control Unit (ECU) ensures precisely metered fuel delivery and optimal ignition spark control using 3D transistorized coil ignition mapping for each cylinder.

•3.5 liter dual inlet air filter box is located under the tank. There are intake ducts at the front and rear of the air box for maximum breathing efficiency. This design not only maximizes air flow but also reduces weight. A viscous paper type air filter is used.

•Air Induction System (AIS) injects fresh oxygen at the exhaust port to insure complete combustion thereby reducing harmful exhaust emissions (HC & CO) while a special air cut valve reduces backfiring when decelerating or coasting off throttle.

•High-performance, 2-into-1-exhaust system features large diameter header pipes for maximum flow. The single muffler contains a 3-way honey comb matrix catalyizer to reduce harmful exhaust emissions. The stylish muffler helps to boost torque and horsepower while producing a throaty, V-twin growl.

•The exhaust system also features a lightweight titanium EXUP exhaust power valve most commonly found on high performance sport bikes. The EXUP system not only provides crisp throttle response and eliminates flat spots" but also improves acceleration and reduces fuel consumption and harmful emissions.

•Dry sump lubrication system means a more compact engine design since the oil tank is not part of the engine, which lowers the centre of gravity for great handling and a light feel. A handy, spin-on oil filter means fast, easy oil changes.
•Frame mounted oil cooler is a first on a Yamaha cruiser. The cooler maintains consistent oil temperatures for optimum cooling and lubrication of this massive V-twin powerplant.
•Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmissionfeatures optimized gear ratios for strong acceleration and relaxed cruising at highway speeds.

•2-piece heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and enhances the overall cruising experience. The 2-piece design allows the rider to individually adjust front and rear portions to suit foot size or remove the rear section if not desired.

•New "assist and slipper clutch" features a heavy duty 10 plate hydraulically operated wet clutch that reduces clutch lever pull / effort at the handlebar by 20%, for reduced hand fatigue and improved rider comfort. This newly designed clutch also features a back torque limiter function (also known as a slipper clutch). The slipper function helps to reduce the sharp effects of engine braking when downshifting. The end result is an easier to use clutch and smoother down shifting for an enhanced cruising / touring experience. This clutch is operated by hydraulic master cylinder instead of a cable. The hydraulic clutch design is low maintenance, self-adjusting and very stylish.

•Low-maintenance belt drive system not only significantly reduce maintenance but is also clean and quiet. A belt drive system uses less power than a shaft drive and reduces unsprung weight for great rear suspension performance.


Chassis and Suspension:
•Aluminum, die cast, double-cradle frame reduces weight, while balancing strength and rigidity. The critical head pipe area features box type construction for additional strength. The frame not provides excellent handling characteristics but also compliments the beautiful flowing lines of the rest of the chassis and bodywork. The engine is rigidly mounted in the frame.
•Lightweight C.F. die cast aluminum swingarm offers superb rigidity and ensures excellent stability and handling. The C.F. die casting process allows for beautiful shapes that are both strong and light. This swingarm is a fashion statement in aluminum and compliments the rest of the Stratoliners eye catching styling.

•Rigid 46mm front fork offers 130mm (5.1") of wheel travel for exceptionally stable handling and great ride comfort. The fork features "slash cut" large diameter chromed fork shrouds to enhance the "neo- streamliner" styling.
•Beefy, cast aluminum, top and bottom triple clamps help increase fork rigidity and reduce weight.

•Link rear suspension features a spring preload adjustable single rear shock delivering outstanding ride comfort and precise handling. The shock is horizontally positioned under the engine for a lower center of gravity and is hidden to provide that classic "hardtail" look. Rear wheel travel is 110mm (4.3").

•Powerful dual 298mm floating front discs are squeezed by ultra rigid, 4-piston, monoblock calipers providing sport-bike spec stopping power. These brakes also provide great feel and feedback.

•Huge 320mm rear disc is squeezed by a single piston caliper mounted below the swingarm for a lower center of gravity and that customized "hidden look".

•Lightweight, polished12 spoke cast aluminum mag wheels reduce weight and enhance handling and styling. The front wheel is MT 4.00x18 while the rear wheel is a MT 5.50x17. Both are fitted with tubeless radial tires that provide excellent traction and reduced rolling resistance.

•Two-piece seat design features a wide, flat profile for excellent rider comfort. The passenger seat features a small lip at the rear of the seat providing a secure feeling for the passenger.

•51w /55w high efficiency Irradiation headlight. This is a 2 bulb design, one for low beam and one for high beam. The unique headlight body compliments the "neo-streamline" styling.
•Steel fenders front and rear can be easily customized or painted to suit personal preferences.
•Flangeless teardrop style fuel tank offers 14 liters of capacity. There are no welds visible, providing that custom look. The total fuel capacity is 17 liters thanks to a 3 liter sub tank located low in the frame below the seat. A high pressure electric fuel pump with quick connect fittings provide fuel to the FI system.

•New 3D fuel tank emblems (speedlines have been eliminated)

•Large 1.25" diameter handlebars. All electrical wires are hidden inside the handlebars for that clean custom look. Selected meter functions can be controlled by buttons on the back of RHS switch.
•Fuel tank mounted instrument panel. The speedo has a unique classic clock styling motif. Just below the large analogue speedo is an analogue tach and fuel gauge. Other functions include digital odometer, dual tripmeters, fuel reserve trip counter and clock. Background illumination can be adjusted to suit personal preferences.
•Super quick detachable windshield can be removed without tools. The windshield locks into place with the ignition key for added security.

•Super quick detachable chromed passenger backrest can be removed in seconds without tools. The backrest locks into place with the ignition key for added security.

•Beautifully styled, semi hard reinforced leather saddlebags provide ample storage for causal weekend tours.
