BMW New Megamoto




Contributing to new concepts motorcyclists with a still more high level of emotion, BMW Motorrad is proud to present/display the new Megamoto. Cradle in BMW HP2 Enduro, this unique motorcycle will be at the top of all the Supermotos bicylindrical accredited for street use, thanks to its highest benefits and the use of materials of first class. Following the line of models HP2, the Megamoto it demonstrates of impressive way the excellent dynamism and the extensive reach of the Bóxer concept. With a weight of 200 kilograms in sequence of march, the Megamoto offers a remarkable increase of power and pair with respect to the powerful HP2 Enduro.

To be effective as much when crossing earth tracks as when responding to the hard exigencies of a circuit, the suspension is harder, is reduced and incorporates component of highest quality. Ahead it equips an inverted of the Marzocchi mark, completely adjustable bracket and of very precise answer, with columns by telescope of impressive 45 millimeters of diameter and with a route of damping of 160 millimeters, that assure a perfect guidance the wheel in any circumstance. In the same way, a shock absorber of the Öhlins mark, with a route of 180 millimeters and that allows adjustments of preload, compression and extension, assures in the back part a contact signs and controlled with the ground.

The rims and the tires have been chosen in agreement with the specific requirements of the circulation by highway. The front tire is of measurement 120/70-ZR 17 and goes mounted in a rim of 3.5 inches wide and the buttock is of measurement 180/55 ZR 17 and goes mounted in a rim of 5.5 inches wide, habitual a very sport measurement. In order to still better take advantage of the great potential this so stable suspension, the new HP2 Megamoto is equipped with a second disc of brake that assures a capacity restrained comparable to nobody moto present sport street. This model is more usable to newspaper thanks to revolution counters, a new light and a seat rather lower, than will be to the the liking of those fans who appreciate the practical character of this moto. The magnificent aspect of this new variant and the election of the most exclusive materials, help to that BMW HP2 Megamoto is absolutely fascinating and exciting in all the senses. For example: the covering of the deposit and the fairing of the nose light partially are done of carbon.

The system of escape of double camera of the Akrapovic mark confers to the new Megamoto a powerful sound and burdens, very appropriate for one moto of this type. In addition, the escape system not only aid to increase the engine power, but that gives to a style and one more an image refined to the new Supermoto de BMW Motorrad. At the time of reshaping the rabid Bóxer motor, the engineers in charge of this new model have concentrated themselves in obtaining one more to an answer immediate and a highest pair to low and average regime. With his position of conduction very active and oriented towards the front wheel, his great balance and its impressive ergonomic qualities, he is safe that the Megamoto will attract, between the most dynamic motorists, to all those that are understood, individualistic and that they mount in moto by pleasing.

Simply, because this novel variant completely offers a new interpretation of the Pure one To please To lead and a great maneuverability that do of her one moto that emphasizes in all its qualities: lightness, power, agility and, in special, great exclusive feature. The exclusive feature is assured by the limited production of BMW HP2 Megamoto, since great part of the assembly is made by hand and that is used very exclusive materials. For that reason, that individualist who decides on the Megamoto, an explosive combination of high technology and powerful character, emotion and functionality, will have made a bold decision simultaneously that wise…

Sachs B-805

Sachs is again there 2 classical naked ones, a Streetfighter study, two 125er and a new limited b-805 submits Sachs.

Pictures of the b-805 Naja.

Whether Sachs is again there, finally the market decides. But the Motoraeder for this is available. Success seems per grammiert. After many years of the back pullingness of the market the tradition enterprise presents itself for approximately 3 years again in the middle achievement segment with the roadstern 650 and 800.

The b-805 stings from the total offer of the motorcycles in many features out. Were taken over first the Suzuki engine of the 800er, the chassis, fork, framework and plates. There are modifications: The chassis tuning was changed after test travels. The rear rocker is to work now at higher speeds and in curves out resembled. Also at the front wheel rocker attitudes were made. The digital instruments and xenon double headlight, which is proven in the autotechnology long and can for safe driving in the night crucially contribute, are brand-new. The seating position is first-class. Passenger seat alternatively with cover. The wind lining is so minimal that the impression naked of the Bikes is not unfavorably affected. The entire line is ultramodern and up-to-date. Doubled disc brakes in front and only one drum brake in the back. The processing of the b - 805 makes a very solid impression. The instruments are well readable.

Performance data: With 58 HP, 228 Kilos, 17 litre tank and 175 Km/h Sachs penetrates not into the upper regions, but remains very civilian. The achievement is enough out, in order to move in the traffic briskly and. Above the border naked bike uncomfortable that price is not completely cheaply guessed/advised 140 Km/h wirds on one anyway always with 8640 euro, xenon light and Streetfighter optics have its price. In each case you receive a really exclusive machine. Sachs must establish the label name again, there comes this progressive vehicle straight quite

A Genuine Roadster - The VRSCR Street Rod




The youngest member of the Harly Davidson VRSC family, which fire-new VRSCR Street Rod - a trueful hot iron, which is characterised by dynamic performance, unusual Design as well as a clenched measure of High Tech fascination and pure passion.
With increased inclination liberty - owing to new Straight of SHOT dual exhaust system, strong, fluessigkeitsgkuehltem, 1,130 ccm large v-twin with 120 HP with 8.250 U/min and a modified chassis, ensures it for ultimative driving fun not only on kurvigen highways. The new Brembo brake assembly with two 300 mm of large brake disks and four-piston saddles at the front wheel provides for vehement delay.
The interpretation of narrow steering wheel, Riser, higher seat and centrically attached fussrasten flatten make possible for the driver a sporty seating position, 102 mm more highly than on the v-Rod models and clearly more near to steering wheel two 300 mm large brake disks and four-piston saddles at the front wheel provide for vehement delay.

VOXAN 1000 COFFEE RACER



After Roadster, sympathetic nerve and player, Voxan are released with the Coffee-racer. Mixtures of curves in post-modern style a "the Sixties projected in the year 2000", the design surprises, shocks, rout, nobody leaves insensitive and divides the opinions. The part-cycle is that of Roadster with some subtle changes: reduction is longer, which affects a little the performances, and the footing is lengthened. Blow, the Coffee-racer is a hair less nimble than Roadster, for the benefit of a more marked stability. The Voxan engine reinforces the identity of this conceptueuse machine and without complex. A twin with 72° full with couple and good mood, as flexible as powerful. On board, one oscillates between comfort and the sport - protection is correct up to 160, the saddle is generous foams about it but narrow and not very accessible for the passenger. If the look inspires the sport of antan, the position of control is that of sporting of today, with a support frankly pronounced on the wrists. Forget the luggage and certain practical aspects. The tank with the strange forms is surmounted by a pretty stopper unfortunately deprived of hinge. No the clock and only one partial lost in a very analogical dashboard. You will go until pester on the turning radius... and you will forget all that while letting to you gray by the behavior of the machine. The suspensions work effectively without forgetting comfort, and braking offers a good feeling associated with corrosive progressive doubled effectiveness. The completion is nickel, of a much better level than on Roadster. With muscle, a timeless charm, quality and the "french touch", the Coffee-racer has the capacity to make dream as much those which lead it that those which envy it.

BMW R1150R Rockster




It seemed was only a creativity exercise, instead the prototype on base 1150 R with beacons of the GS and telelever and instruments of the 1100 S, it will enter in production to short and he will be available near the concessionaires to leave from the next spring. The motor is known boxer 1150 in the renewed version with two candles for cylinder. It will come maintained to the showy coloration "citrusgrung metallic" (green metalized lemon) that it will be placed side by side from a second called chromatic combination "orange metallic". From the beginning of the 2003 motors boxer of the models R1100 S, R1150 GS, R1150 R, R1150 RS and R1150 RT, will adopt the renewed endowed motorization of ignition to double candle. This solution is time to reduce the polluting emissions until respecting the limits of the future Euro3 norm. All the data of power and brace will remain invariati. E' be chosen of posizionare the second candle in the inferior part of the witness, in order to optimize the combustion and, secondarily, to hide the pipette of the second candle. E' be moreover adapted to the system electrical worker in order to favour the demand for current of the second candle. The new motors will be recognizable for written "2-Spark" on the covers of the spaces the candle. 4 cylinders 1200 of the K series will equip K1200 GT. Already seen to the Intermot di Monaco, it is based on mechanics (130 CV) and ciclistica of K1200 RS but it will have more abundant fairing, cuffs in ink with the auto body and a glass of cupolino the more adjustable high and electrically. Various also the handle-bar, redesigned for a position of guide more adapted to the tourism. The saddleback is adjustable in height and the motovaligie are of series with covers in ink with the auto body. Of series also the refraining system "Integral ABS" in the partially integral version. Colors available: blue east and gray-green, both metalize to you.

Aprilia SXV and RXV: performances without compromises





Aprilia, holding faith to its philosophy that directly wants the experience of the competitions travasata on the mass production, introduces the new Aprilia RXV and SXV in their "historical" piston displacements 450 and 550. Aprilia RXV and SXV is to all the targate effects of the motion from competition that do not yield to some compromise, with the only objective to obtain the maximum possible performances in track.

Design

The essential SXV/RXV are motion, in which the superfluous one is not admitted. The reduced plastic superstructures lessened contribute are to the functionality are to the total reduction of the mass, beyond that to one pulizia general of the design. The stiff and decided lines, moreover, transmit one feeling of lightness and constructive quality. The designer they have inserted in and clearly obvious way the signs distinguished you of all the Aprilia production, having launch a new style for the motion off road and the motard. On SXV/RXV it is the technique to catalyze the look: enough to watch the V2 motor, the mixed chassis to attice and aluminum, the scultoreo forcellone. The design of the tail and the fianchetti posterior is innovative and distacca completely from the canoni it consolidates you for the field off road, therefore as the positioning centers them of the system of drainage with escapes sdoppiate under the posterior mudguard. From whichever side it is observed, is to ollow itself of attractive particular that they catalyze the looks. The colorations racing of Aprilia emphasize the born aggressiveness of this motion in order to run. A design that, like always, door in dowry also brilliant solutions. The fixed convogliatori, as an example, allow to render the tank balancing benzine to advantage of the facility of access to the box it filter.

The V2 Motor

The extraordinary V2 motor is naturally the flower to the eyelet of the SXV/RXV. First house to the world, Aprilia has believed in the V2 architecture also in a segment in which nobody it had still dared a lot. The caught up thrilling goals in the competitions have given reason to this dared plan, than hour it has been brought back on the models of great series. A product of highest level that has already demonstrated on the contest fields an absolute reliability. The homologation entire does not have private this exceptional motor (produced from Aprilia) not even briciolo of technology and performances. Since the beginning of the planning its evolution has gone of equal step with the evolution of the ciclistica in order to obtain with from the absolutely unsurpassable performances. The included angle between the innumervoli cylinders of 77° is the result of experimentations that have had like scope not only the obtaining of the maximum performances, but also one dynamics of the vibrations particularly favorable, that it has concurred with the technicians to renounce to the contralbero of balance being obtained however a clearly inferior rate vibrations to whichever single cylinder motor. The cylinders are integrated in Carter with sostituibili humid canes. Moreover, the particular architecture of the V2 has concurred a disposition extremely rations them of the auxiliary organs compattando to the maximum the motor. It turns out to you are amazing: the V2 Aprilia is placed like one of i bicylindrical to V more compact of the world, quite more compact than many single cylinder ones of analogous piston displacement. All the choices of the planners have been dictated from the necessity to obtain the maximum level of possible power, increasing at the same time the range of use. The sophisticated management electronic of the motor, developed inner from the Unit Run Aprilia, introduces numerous innovationes in the field. The injection with bodies farfallati from 38 milimeter (40 milimeter for the 550) is managed from one programmabile telephone exchange. Moreover on the motor of the SXV, only case currently on the market, the secondary tree is longer in order to concur the more external assembly of the pinion. Consequently it is possible to mount pneumati to us racing without that the chain enters in contact with null.

Peculiar characteristics of the V2 motor:
- Feeding to injection electronic with bodies farfallati from 38 milimeter (40mm for motor 550)
- Lubrication to dry Carter with external tank, separated for change and motor. It concurs not to soil the motor oil with residual of the usury of the clutch maintaining in the time the effectiveness of the lubricating
- Distribution monotree in head with valves in titanium - monolitico Drive shaft - Cylinders integrated in motor Carter with humid cane
- the maximum Regimen of spin 13,000 turns (450 motard)

Ciclistica

The perimetrale chassis has been developed of equal step with the motor. A attice of tubes in steel is fixed for interference to lateral slabs in printed aluminum to form one extremely rigid structure. The integrating motor is part of the ciclistica acting like stressed element and contributing to the rigidity of together. The forcellone of aluminum to variable section it is a lampante example of industrial design. It is characteristic element of the motion but above all it offers higher the structural rigidity of the category. A progressive leveraggio sets in action the pluriregolabile monoshock-absorber, with Piggy back and double hydraulic regulation of alte/basse the speeds. The staple to steles turns upside down (45 to you milimeter for RXV, 48 milimeter for the SXV) has settaggi studies for ciascuna motion and offers to all the possible regulations to you, therefore to allow to every pilot to personalize the order of the motion. On the SXV a forcellone is mounted wider in order to concur a more external passage consequently chain and the assembly of 6.5 posterior circles until pollici.

The Black Dogo




Taking to cue from the motion Americans from Dirt-Track of years 70 and 80 and from their spectacular race on sterrato, with the attendance of Simone Falcetta, designer specialistic, and with the technological ability to NCR - Poggipolini, the most prestigious workshop than motorcycle preparations Italian, Ennio Capasa has redesigned and made the most powerful its of the Ducati Monster: the S4RS Testastretta. Following an inverse process to that one of the Motard, the designer has adapted to sterrato one born motion for the road. She has invented the motion for the ideal travel There N' C: "off the beaten track", always ready to take roads never battered.

The Black Dogo is, like the mastiff Argentine from which it has taken to name and style, powerful sinuosa and; it polishes and tenacious. The frontalino front it is short and aggressive, that posterior one emphasizes the linearity of the profile of the motion and the curved and short mudguard. Stock-pots and saddleback are short and compact. The copriserbatoio of elephant skin it has stringhe elastic portaoggetti of new conception. The retrovisori have been replaced from one television camera and the plancia of the instruments from a monitor: technological solution up to now never adopted on one motion.

To the contrary of the dogo, always white man, the Ducati N' C of Ennio Capasa is all black one and of metal There. The auto body is rubberized black opaque and vellutata to the tact. The black chassis I polish. The black and opaque beacons. The motor partially painted I polish. The copriserbatoio in elephant skin it is black. "I have always loved the motion and the Ducati in particular, for this we have begun to work entirety not as soon as N' C is born There", Ennio Capasa has declared. "Then, for passion, I have begun to attend the workshops more and more assiduously where the Ducati plans and constructs its motion. I have begun to follow the job of the planners, to observe is made of the production... To think next to a Ducati N' C has become nearly unavoidable There.

A plan that I have lived like true challenge and as I privilege. The industrial design always has been to the center of my interests and creed looks at from what I make. The Black Dogo is the technological and futurist version of the motion that I have always intentional. From road and cross-country vehicle, from city and travel, aggressive, but docile... The motion that I will guide in the next few years ". "and a great pleasure and an honor that a creative to the level of Ennio Capasa has been inspired to our Monster S4RS - have commented Federico Minoli, President and General executive manager Ducati -" and a testimony of the passion and the creativity that continuous Ducati to inspire, stimulating also the universe of the fashion and the design."

Nuova Derbi Mulhacén 125



In the 70’s, ‘scrambling’ erupted with force all over Europe and was present in a multitude of demonstrations. To own and enjoy one of these two-wheeled wonders was to participate in the myth of American motorcycling. With scramblers came a philosophy of life, ‘On-Road’, where basically the universe revolved around a bike. The ‘Scrambler’ signified liberty and for three decades came to symbolise something of an icon of youth culture. Derbi's selection of the name 'Mulhacén' has not been made without reason. The 3482 metre high mountain of the Iberian Peninsula, with the highest forest track in Europe, invites ‘conventionalists’ to exceed limits and touch the sky, with just the motorcycle for company, soaking up the nature and freedom of the surroundings.


After the putting in scene of the new Derbi Mulhacén 659, the Spanish company/signature wants to hard bet by the models type to scrambler and innovates in this tendency transferring it to the segment of motos of 125 centimeters cubical. Obvious the pull is not ignored to us that is living this piston displacement in the market, from which surely, Derbi wants to remove slice with the Derbi Mulhacén 125. Equipped with a single cylinder motor of four times and liquid refrigeration, with a diameter by 58 race of × 47 mm and one compression ratio 12:1. This motor is lodged in a tubular light steel chassis of high resistance, ordering the front suspension to a hydraulic bracket of 37 mm and to a tilted one of double arm with monoshock absorber.
The essence of moto prime as much the pleasure to lead as a different and attractive image at least. Their users will be able to enjoy the manageability and agility of a modélica motorcycle in this sense. The same care by the detail and the finished ones of Mulhacén 659 has been transferred this small sister, who of this form is unmarked of her possible more direct rivals, contributing in addition a high dose to personality with details as the imposing escape with route by the high part of moto. The benefits of new Mulhacén 125 are assured thanks to the incorporation of the new propellent of 15 CV of the power, most powerful and advanced their segment.

Rooke customs : New generation of bike builders






New generation biker no need to wear a leather jacket and jeans like my father did. But you can use a short pants or some Hawaian shirts, just like a beach boy. If you look at Jesse rooke bike of art with creative concepts and build bikes like no one has seen before.
The lines are smooth and classic, seamlessly blending one curve into the next. The designs are deceptively simple with no extraneous additions that add weight and detract from performance. Jesse's bikes are the ultimate expression of a racers' mentaiity fused with old-school chopper cool.

Yamaha Air trike : BMX with machine


Between the proposals presented/displayed by Yamaha in this last Intermot, Tricker range called the attention by its characteristics, a model that already is in production in Japan and that is inspired by the BMX bicycles and whose objective is the market of young people who look for new emotions next to the BMX sport. The Tricker uses a motor of 249cc of 4 times, exaactamente the motor of the YZ250F and its weight is of 110 kg although the model "Air Tricker" weighs only 88 kg thanks to its carbon structure. Next to the version Air Tricker, it is the Tricker Pro with a weight of 94 kg and the Chivicker, destined to the children with a motor of 49cc and only 105 cm of height.

Motorcycle Trial Definition




A trial is a test of riding skill and balance over a variety of observed natural obstacles with riders incurring penalties for footing or stopping”.

This can be riding up a stream, grassy hill climb, over rock slabs etc. Officials are positioned at observed sections to record the riders’ performance and the scores are aggregated by the Event Secretary to determine the winner/s.

Bikes are specially manufactured and are road legal, but most events are completely of road and therefore the machine does not need to be registered or licensed. Engines range from 50cc to 320cc although the optimum is considered to be 250 for an adult. They have very low gearing, snappy powerful engines, and special soft compound tyres that will “get you up the side of a house!” As the bike is controlled whist standing up, it has a very low small seat and rear set footrests. This makes for little comfort if the bike has to be ridden for any distance on the road! As well as the bike, a rider also needs protective clothing and equipment. All riders at all times when riding the machine must wear helmets, which comply with the Road Traffic Act. Boots of approx. knee length must be worn. Leather, rubber, plastic or safety type Wellingtons will only be allowed. Clothing must cover legs and the body and it is recommended that the arms be also covered. All Youth riders must cover the arms and wear gloves covering hands and fingers.

New Yamaha V max






The advance ticket holders are already spewing out loads of photos from the Tokyo Motor Show, we hope to have some of our own shortly, but in the meantime, you might like to see these, a design study of a new (hold your breath!) Yamaha VMax! (Or is that a Star Vmax? yuk!) This was noted briefly on the Yamaha website but here are the photos.

This is not the final design, Yamaha is still looking for feedback. This concept is a sculpture primarily made of plastic so how much of this is just pure speculation from their design team and how much is close to final form, who knows?

What can we see? Still shaft drive, conventional forks, scoops look like they could be functional, real world rear tire size 200/50R18. The design is very evolutionary, not revolutionary. It looks like a modern Vmax but still very obviously a Vmax. No details on the Nihon Car and Bike web site about engine specs Take a look and see what you think.

Exclusive Chopper



This most exclusive chopper for sure, considering that the motion is all covered of gold 18 carats and nacre! Anyway this chopper looks simple and ergonomic but remembering me of the song from Aerosmith "dude looks like a lady".

MV Augusta F4




Initially presented in version ORO, the fantastic one and inaccessible F4 declines itself in 2 more accessible but not less majestic versions. S for the single people, 1 + 1 for the in love ones. But momentary will have to you it right has passion as much than MV-Agusta does not cause any? To make fall the price, it does not have there a secrecy: the motor bike has to make the dead end on certain prestigious materials such magnesium and carbon. That has to you it a real importance vis-a-vis with this figure of any beauty.
As much MV-AGUSTA 750 F4 Squ' it preserve splendid assets, as the admirable one will monobras oscillating, limps it from speeds with cassette, the enormous reversed fork and of sublime rims. A motor bike with a very high level of completion whose elegance is quite simply époustouflante. Beautiful initially, effective then.
The position of the footrests and the broad saddle prevent from being perfectly at ease and mobile when it is a question of attacking. F4 does not have cure of it; its destiny is not to shine in Superbike - just to be a star. It is not in so far as it falls asleep on its beauty. Locked up within a framework lattice with very rigid chromium molybdenum, the 4 cylinders does not have anything a pantouflard.
The rises in mode particularly sharp of the subsidiary shell are accompanied by a splendid melody.
The flutes of exhaust under the saddle become organ pipes about it. All that made forget the hollow with semi-modes but does not dissimulate the somewhat wise character of mechanics. Of such a racée animal, one would have appreciated more ardour, a more provocative temperament... in short, a mill which would leave traces until in your tripe.
Tie profit with the max of its small gauge, the MV enjoys an excellent handiness. Nimble and imperturbable in the phase shifts, the road behavior is worthy of the blazon, braking also - even on the bumps because the fork provides an impeccable work.
The back on the contrary does not need much enthusiasm to block. With the use, MV-Agusta F4 is not only one motor bike with the irresistible design. It is before a whole tinted dream of magic which will be able to allure all and all, even those which do nothing but pose the glance on it.
