Kawasaki Ninja 250R SE
Sunday, March 8th, 2009 |Japanese manufacturers didn’t quite focused on producing 250cc sportbikes these last years, Kawasaki remaining the only bike builder with such a motorcycle on sale today for the U.S. market. The smart choice was to keep producing and yet improving this icon, and this way it managed to dominate the American market at the given category.
By using a perfect combination of rider-friendly engine, easy to operate chassis, and modern design, this Ninja is a true companion on your road towards bigger motorcycles, like the ZX-6R and ZX-10R.
Moto Morini Corsaro Veloce 1200
Sunday, March 8th, 2009 |Italian motorcycle manufacturer Morini has given its Corsaro 1200 Veloce a new white paint scheme for 2008.
The Morini Corsaro 1200 Veloce also gets revised fuel injection to smooth out the throttle delivery and improve fuel efficiency and a fully adjustable Ohlins rear shock.
BMW K 1200R
Sunday, March 8th, 2009 |Just when you thought the growing “naked bike”
segment - sportbikes shorn of their plastic wrappers, unveiled for all to see -
was all about showing off and nothing about substance and style, here comes the
2006 BMW K 1200 R. Unlike the weightlifter who can barely scratch his own back,
the K 1200 R is powerfully built yet agile, massively quick yet perfectly docile
for those times you want to take it easy. It’s the ideal combination of menace
and class.
BMW has taken
advantage of the incredible technology housed in the new K 1200 S - a
straight-line speed machine that also accelerates, turns and stops like a
truly modern superbike - to create the K 1200 R. In fact, except for revised
bodywork and ergonomics, the two bikes are very much alike.
Honda CBR 600RR
Sunday, March 8th, 2009 |A lighter crank and lighter con-rods means lighter — and smaller —
everything else, so the entire package — capped off with 11-ounce lighter
magnesium valve covers — measures up as 27.5mm shorter than the 2006, all
the while making more power and torque and weighing in at 3.7 pounds less.
“The clutch is
lighter, smaller and stronger, and the transmission gets closer ratios and a
redesign to reduce driveline lash.”
