Japanese Motor Style Modification

Japanesse Trend Bike Customized 2009

Problem modification motors, Japan can not be seen next to the Motor mata.Niko Plus Fiandri directly report the scooter modification Rage contest, shot in the National Custom Show in Sportline, Osaka. Rage is a mat scooter contest first modification in the City of Sakura's.

According to Keiichi Terada the modification creator from Sigma Spyder Osaka, modification decreased interest than ever before. Cause, the direction of the manufacturer and it affects consumers modify. Specialist 250 cc's scooter customized estimate, three years ahead of modification leading to environmentally friendly technologies.

"Most likely to change the water-fueled engine or electric motor to make," says Terada the Matsuyamachi, Suji, Osaka. According to him, now modified in Japan, especially for CC skutik was great to play in the body.

2010 Honda Fury Power Chopper Sport Motorcycle

Honda has recently shown its dealers some sneak-peek images of a brand-new direction they will be taking. The bike is the 2010 Honda Fury which is a 1300cc raked-out chopper that will be introduced to the US market early next spring. Apparently we will receive more information later in December. The pictures sent to dealers intentionally had the bottom-half of the bike blurred out. Speculation on the boards is rampant that this bike might be a hybrid with a gas and electric motor.

Honda DN-01

The Honda's stunning new DN-01 is in a class of its own—the world's first crossover bike.
The style like a sportbike, but offering Honda's radical new HFT Transmission, it's an automatic unlike anything you've ever seen. You can shift it into six preset ratios, or you can let it function as a stepless, no-shifting Constantly Variable Transmission, or CVT. The DN-01 is a perfect choice if you're looking to get into motorcycling or if you're just a long-time rider who wants to be on the most cutting-edge bike out there.

It's like no motorcycle you've ever seen. And it's definitely like no motorcycle you've ever ridden. The revolutionary Honda DN-01 is designed to create a nearly seamless connection between you and your riding environment, with a relaxed, low seating position and a clear view to the road ahead.
Its Human Friendly Transmission (HFT) allows you to ride in fully automatic mode, or you can shift it like a manual transmission via handy handlebar-mounted push buttons. You can even rev the powerful V-twin engine at stoplights, something most automatic transmissions won't allow.

The Honda's reputation for forging new categories in motorcycling takes its latest form in the radical DN-01. This futuristic machine combines true sporting performance with a fully-automatic transmission, a low seat height and exceptional style.

The Unique Features
- Powerful 4-valve, 680cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine.
- HFT transmission is a continuously variable, hydromechanical design that automatically and seamlessly changes drive ratios to produce strong, smooth acceleration. Unlike conventional belt-drive designs, HFT is compact, quiet, no scheduled maintenance, and features two automatic modes and a six-speed manual mode with push-button shifting.
- Low 27.2-inch seat height assures flat-footed confidence when stopped.
- Large-diameter 41mm front fork and single-shock Pro Arm® Rear Suspension (see Technology Section) provide a sporting ride on low-profile Z-rated radial tires.
- Combined ABS (LBS-ABS, see Technology Section) triple-disc brake system for sure-footed braking in varying conditions.
- Combined Braking System (CBS) provides excellent braking power for added confidence in a wide range of operating conditions. CBS applies front braking force whenever the rear brake is operated.
- On the DN-01, equipped with dual front disc brakes with three-piston calipers and a twin-piston rear caliper, rider application of the front-brake lever activates all six brake pistons in the front calipers. Application of the rear-brake pedal activates the dual pistons of the rear caliper and the center piston of the front-left caliper.
- Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS w/CBS) utilizes modulators- one each on the front and rear wheels- driven directly by specially developed electric motors. In operation, an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) monitors wheel and vehicle speed. If one of both of the wheels approach a locking condition, the modulators, via a signal from the ECU, lower hydraulic pressure by acting directly on the brake piston(s). As wheel speed re-approaches motorcycle speed, the hydraulic pressure is increased. This entire process is repeated numerous times in just one second, resulting in optimal braking pressure and enhanced rider control.
- Beautiful aerodynamic design provides protection from the elements.

The Engine/Drivetrain :
- Compact 680cc, liquid-cooled SOHC 52-degree V-Twin provides substantial torque and power for everyday commuting and spirited backroad riding.
- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI, see Technology Section) with twin 40mm throttle bodies and high-performance 12-hole injectors provide excellent throttle response and fuel economy
while contributing to low emissions.
- Auto enrichment system is integrated into PGM-FI to optimize the air/fuel mixture on cold starts and eliminates the need for a choke.
- ECU-controlled, closed-loop emission control system with oxygen sensor manage the air/fuel mixture and reduce exhaust emissions.
- Front-mounted radiator receives ducted air from fairing shroud to maximize cooling.
- 2-into-1 stainless steel exhaust system with chrome-plated triangular shaped tailpipe is designed to centralize mass for improved handling.
- HFT offers two fully automatic, infinitely variable transmission modes - 'D' (Drive) mode for ordinary riding, and 'S' (Sport) mode for sharper acceleration. In addition, a push-button-selectable, six-speed manual mode allows the rider to upshift/downshift with the simple operation of left thumb-activated buttons.
- The ECU-controlled HFT automatically 'downshifts' when climbing steep grades to maintain optimum power.
- HFT provides 'lock-up' in cruising mode for maximum fuel economy.
- HFT features button-activated mechanical neutral, permitting engine revving when stopped. Mechanical neutral is automatically engaged whenever the engine is turned off, allowing easy maneuverability.

Ducati Announces Monster 1100 And 1100 S Models

Cupertino, CA (25 September 2008) - Ducati North America is pleased to announce the latest additions to its iconic Monster line of "naked" sport bikes, the Monster 1100 and 1100 S models.

The arrival of the new Monster 1100 and 1100 S models increases the displacement of the redesigned Monster family, which defines the naked motorcycle and has been staking its claim worldwide as the new icon of Italian excellence.

The 'less-is-more' philosophy behind all Monsters underlines Ducati's never-ending pursuit of genuinely compact, high performance motorcycles; but these new models have succeeded in being even more 'pared down' than their predecessors. The Monster 1100 weighs only 371 lbs (369 lbs for the S version), making it by far the lightest bike in its category.

The new Monster 1100 design perfectly balances sports performance, riding pleasure and stunning looks. With its single-sided aluminum swingarm, high-spec componentry, race-oriented chassis and 15 years of evolution, the Monster 1100 now takes its place at the head of the Monster family.

The Monster 1100 S is a pure concentrate of light weight, power, design and exclusivity. The 'S' features fully adjustable 43mm titanium nitride coated Ohlins forks and progressive Ohlins rear shock absorber with adjustable pre-load and return damping. Carbon fiber cam belt covers, silencer guards and front fender reduce weight by a further 2.2 lbs. The distinctive gold five spoke wheels of the Monster 1100 S give it the elegant style and same sporting look as historical Ducati race bikes.

Both versions of the new Monster 1100 come with removable single seat covers and neat micro-bikini fairings; and are powered by the charismatic two-valve 1100cc Desmodromic twin-cylinder engine that boasts 95hp at 7500rpm and an impressive 79.5 lb/ft of torque at 6000rpm.

Color schemes available are:

Baja Mexico "Trip to the Tip"

I just obtained some more photos from the Baja trip from one of the other riders. Thought I'd share.


One of the dozen or so military checkpoints we went thru.
The soldiers were always nice and often encouraged us to ride wheelies as we departed.
I tried to oblige whenever I could.


We must have crossed this river 20 times as the road criss-crossed back and forth over it.
Note the dust behind me. I was carrying "express mail" when this water crossing surprised me...


This brand-new pavement would make for an incredible sport-touring road as it wound up into the mountain.
It wasn't paved last April.


Departing a water crossing in a hurry.


A street gang we encountered in San Javier.


One of the many sections of old road that will soon be paved. This one was freshly graded.
Don't wait too long before you head to Baja, they're paving paradise.







This is by far the best shot anyone has ever taken of me on a bike.
We're on the Baja 1000 race course here, and I had been running
around 50 mph when this arroyo crossed the trail. It's a prime example
of why you never, ever, ever "go to sleep" down in Baja.
Thanks for great photo Erin!

Gilera GP850 Corsa

The Gilera celebrates the one hundred history years and the title world-wide it 250

The Gilera GP 800, the scooter more powerful.
The 850 Gilera GP Corsa estremizza the concepts of GP 800 and ulteriorly moves the limit of border between scooter and motion, approaching itself ulteriorly this last one.

The prototype without compromises where every technical and aesthetic solution is voted exclusively and totally to the increment of the performances.
Developed on the base of GP 800, this free prototype from every tie: materials of obvious derivation racing from the extreme lightness, forms studied in wind tunnel for the aerodynamics, air inlet for the increment of the engine ratings.
Every detail is studied in the minimums details and also the ciclistica is evolven in order to directly adopt mutuate solutions from the world of the superbike.

The graphical minievils, but smaccatamente Italian and accompanied from the logo that it celebrates the 100 years of Gilera, characterize aesthetic of 850 GP Corsa.

An Italian, sport and quickly recognizable style, than only Gilera can wear. 850 GP Corsa, in its aggressive single-seat configuration, the imaginary one of the fans, travel over again the tracks that have rendered the Gilera brand glorious, from the dominion of class 500 in years '50, to the victories offroad on sands Africans, till the most recent world-wide triumph of Simoncelli Mark.

2010 Honda CBR1000RR C-ABS Review

 

Whether it’s simply coincidence, a barometer of the still-weak world economy or a sign of changing OEM methodologies, we’re not exactly sure, but that no significant updates made their way into the crop of Japanese literbikes for 2010 is a matter of fact. The past year saw two all-new models (the R1 and GSX-R1000) continue the typical two-year development cycle from Japan. Prior to 2010, each new model year generally saw at least one model from the Big Four receive heavy revision. This year is something of a dry spell. But, hey, at least there are a couple changes in the liter class. In the 600cc supersport arena there’s nothing even worth mentioning in terms of revisions for 2010!
With Yamaha and Suzuki supplying clean-slate designs of the R1 and Gixxer 1K in 2009, the round robin revision cycle had us anticipating news of big changes from Honda’s and Kawi’s literbikes. Especially since the last overhaul of each came in 2008. Alas, it was not to be, as Big Red and Team Green implemented only mild updates.

Same name and (mostly) same great bike.

Kawasaki’s ZX-10R received the widest array (and by wide we mean more than two things!) of tweaks and minor but practical refinements. Most notable are improvements to shifting mechanisms, slightly longer throttle cables for improved throttle action and a new Öhlins steering damper. Cosmetic touch ups here and there round out the tart up.
Honda’s CBR1000RR didn’t necessarily stagnate this season, but an unspecified increase in flywheel size, a new muffler cover and revised license plate bracket are just about on par with the Zed’s “news.” So we begrudgingly grant the Honda a status update, but clearly things are slowing down in hyperbike land.
While attending the 2009 U.S. round of WSBK at Utah’s Miller Motorsports Park a Honda rep told me this reeling in of rapid-fire changes might happen for the whole sportbike class, and indeed it seems it has.

Despite no big changes for ’10, the CBR1000RR is still a stellar liter class contender.

No news is good news
We didn’t expect to be able to discern much about a marginally larger flywheel, but to say that we at least tried we took a quick spin around the track. We have to wonder, though, just how much increase was made to the flywheel, as claimed curb weights for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 models are identical at 439 pounds.
We were right. Not much in it to say, “Hey, I’m a new 2010! Not like that stinky ol’ 2009 model! Puh!”
However, a day of beating up on the mostly unchanged 2010 CBR1K only reminded us of all the things we liked so much about last year’s bike.
As we noted in our 2009 Literbike Shootout, the CBR doesn’t post the biggest horsepower numbers, but its wide powerband made it the best street engine of the group. And much of what’s adorable about the Honda’s engine during street rides is also enjoyable and advantageous on the racetrack. A super-stout midrange offers the strongest pull earlier in the rev range than any other literbike. Its torque peak of 76.6 ft-lbs is not only the highest of the 2009 inline-Fours, it also boasts a twisting force advantage over a 5000-rpm range.

One of the hallmarks of the CBR is rock-solid handling.

Despite grunty power in its midrange, the double-R’s leisurely response at low revs was one of the few things that kept the Honda’s mill from scoring top honors in the Engine category in our annual shootout last year. Seems nothing’s really different in that respect for ’10.
If the flywheel changes for this year were meant to smooth out power delivery, we’d question why, as the Honda had a fairly linear feel to begin with. But a larger flywheel might also have inadvertently served to further soften rev response below, roughly, 6000 rpm. Hard to say since we didn’t have an ’09 to compare to, but nothing about this year’s engine screams big changes for the better. We’re awaiting responses from Honda for details on the flywheel…
One attribute about the CBR that testers lauded last year was its stable, obedient chassis. We can look not so fondly back to Mark Gardiner’s mishap as a strange testament, almost a backhanded compliment if you will, to the Honda’s handling.

They don’t look any different than standard brake calipers, but this pair of binders benefits from Honda’s computer-controlled Combined Anti-lock Brake System.

“It [Honda] felt so planted and confidence-inspiring that I crashed it,” said a red-faced Gardiner. “That’s a compliment to the brilliant handling; lesser bikes send you a warning as you reach the limits of the tire’s adhesion, but the CBR1000RR was completely composed, ready to do much more on demand.”
Nothing has changed about the 1000’s frame, steering geometry, etcetera, so it remains a well-handling sportbike. We won’t, however, be crashing another one this year as an exercise to celebrate the Honda’s chassis…
Last year I had the grand opportunity to sample Honda’s new Combined-ABS for sportbikes when I test rode the 2009 CBR600RR C-ABS at Honda’s private testing facility. I couldn’t say enough good things about the new system, as you can read here in our 2009 CBR600RR C-ABS Review. However, we forsook using the CBR1000RR with C-ABS in last year’s liter battle. That meant I was the only rider here to have had the pleasure or riding the computer-controlled ABS for Honda supersports.
This year we seized the opportunity to ride the C-ABS-equipped thousand, giving Kevin Duke his first taste of the system.
“The Combined part of the C-ABS works really well on the track,” remarked KD on his first experience with the linked anti-locks.

This was Duke Danger’s first crack at Honda’s new ABS for its supersports machines. Duke came away very impressed with the brake system’s seamless performance and composure it brings to the chassis during heavy braking.

“Hard-braking situations that would have other bikes wagging their back ends during corner entry were utterly composed with the CBR’s system. The way the addition of a slight amount of rear brake settles the chassis when braking provides a feeling of security, regardless of the safety aspects of the ABS part of the system. If I were in the market for a CBR1000RR, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose the C-ABS version.”
Ultimately there’s not a lot to parade about as big changes for the CBR, unless you want to talk dollars.
The Honda’s MSRP has bumped up to $13,399 for 2010, a $400 increase from 2009. But the 2010 bike’s tag reflects a full $1800 over the 2008 model. That’s a sizable leap for what is essentially the same bike as two years ago. Eesh! Seems Japan is still having a tough go of it.
Regardless of a dearth of impressive updates, the CBR1000RR is still an excellent bike. And with the same condition across the class this year we’ve no reason to expect the Honda wouldn’t come out the overall winner in 2010 against Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, just like it did in last year’s shootout.

The 2010 CBR1000RR C-ABS can still stare down the competition. But will Motorcycle.com’s 2009 Literbike Shootout winner have what it takes to stand up to BMW’s heavily lauded S1000RR? We’re eager to find out!

However, there’s a new inline-Four kid in town. And by judging recent feedback about the performance of BMW’s S1000RR, we expect the Big Four are all back at the drawing board feverishly penning new literbikes.
