A 998cc engine powers the beast for a claimed 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 86 pound-feet at 11,000 rpm. The 5-inch TFT dash keeps the rider connected to the ride with navigation, four ride modes, active cruise control, and eight traction control settings. With a premium price of 29,990 euros (about $36,300) you better bet this machine has the componentry and power to deliver white-knuckle fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Reviews, Comparisons, And Competition</p><p>In his First Ride review, Bruno dePrato went so far as to say that the 2020 Brutale 1000 RR may be the best naked superbike in production today, concluding that the Brutale 1000 RR “proved extremely friendly, solid at any speed, and comfortable.”</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to superbike-like expectations and 208 hp, another comparable naked bike offering includes the Ducati Streetfighter V4 S, which is about $12,000 cheaper than the Brutale. Other rivals include the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100, BMW S 1000 R, KTM 1290 Super Duke R, and Yamaha MT-10, all of which being serious competition.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1hzncz3LhURBrpGNW223mxxVsZr8cgHgZYlJiREtZLN14QQRMS9BBLlOwP-qyadCQSjlfvtwb1IFiHbi_IboXwfUHGwlNRymOOPRnEL9o_ZpXutJw3a4tnRYCLINmt8zTSl5OnQJvj8g/s2048/mv-agusta-brutale-1000-rr-ml-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1161" data-original-width="2048" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1hzncz3LhURBrpGNW223mxxVsZr8cgHgZYlJiREtZLN14QQRMS9BBLlOwP-qyadCQSjlfvtwb1IFiHbi_IboXwfUHGwlNRymOOPRnEL9o_ZpXutJw3a4tnRYCLINmt8zTSl5OnQJvj8g/w640-h362/mv-agusta-brutale-1000-rr-ml-7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_8wFxsttJX4OseYH3nEBZ2tgrQvEkfXxSFAH7i78Rk5ugXTPcqEwU9Tnb5jDOfKIRV26nxBrvsPcpVR4BfXXlhqCdXIkztTgN56kkXAWxv3AzvCPI8etnjoD3GmAs1POuXfjHp-MLAwY/s827/keht79to_2020-mv-agusta-brutale-1000-rr_625x300_04_July_20.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="827" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_8wFxsttJX4OseYH3nEBZ2tgrQvEkfXxSFAH7i78Rk5ugXTPcqEwU9Tnb5jDOfKIRV26nxBrvsPcpVR4BfXXlhqCdXIkztTgN56kkXAWxv3AzvCPI8etnjoD3GmAs1POuXfjHp-MLAwY/w640-h394/keht79to_2020-mv-agusta-brutale-1000-rr_625x300_04_July_20.webp" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR right side</p><p>2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RRMV Agusta</p><p>MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Updates For 2020</p><p>The redesigned engine is operated by a new EM2.0 ECU with its unchanged frame design making up the skeleton.</p><p><br /></p><p>MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR rear left</p><p>2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RRMV Agusta</p><p>2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Claimed Specifications</p><p>Price:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>29,990 euros (est. $36,300)</p><p>Engine:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Liquid-cooled DOHC four-cylinder</p><p>Displacement:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>998cc</p><p>Bore x Stroke:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>79.0 x 50.9mm</p><p>Horsepower:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>208 hp @ 13,000 rpm</p><p>Torque:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>86 lb.-ft. @ 11,000 rpm</p><p>Transmission:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>6-speed</p><p>Final Drive:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Chain</p><p>Seat Height:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>33.3 in.</p><p>Rake:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>23.3°</p><p>Trail:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3.8 in.</p><p>Front Suspension:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>43mm inverted fork, fully electronic; 4.7-in. travel</p><p>Rear Suspension:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Fully electronic; 4.7-in. travel</p><p>Front Tire:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>120/70-17</p><p>Rear Tire:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>200/55-17</p><p>Wheelbase:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>55.7 in.</p><p>Fuel Capacity:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4.2 gal.</p><p>Dry Weight:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>410 lb.</p><p> by <a href="https://www.cycleworld.com/story/buyers-guide/2020-mv-agusta-brutale-1000-rr/">2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR | Cycle World</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cT_nbxYN1MQ" width="320" youtube-src-id="cT_nbxYN1MQ"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03883656062758792381noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922941846253825841.post-8192138847862527872021-01-02T10:10:00.004-08:002021-01-02T10:10:38.535-08:00 MV Agusta Superveloce Alpine Announced<p> </p><h3 style="text-align: center;"> MV Agusta Superveloce Alpine Announced</h3><div><br /></div><div><div>Alpine is a French sports car marque that was founded in 1955 and developed ultra-compact early models powered by Renault engines displacing no more than 1 liter. They proved good enough to dare challenge the best of the world in the classic Nürburgring 1,000 Km; Alpine won in 1963. In 1974, Alpine enlarged the Renault engine to 1.6 liters, creating the legendary and final version of the A110, a car capable of incredible performance despite its small engine thanks to extremely light weight and a highly aerodynamic profile.</div><div><br /></div><div>In 1971, the A110 won the Monte Carlo Rally and became a legend. But businesswise, the gallant little make was declining. In 1978, Alpine was acquired by Renault, and from then on it was relegated to producing high-performance versions of Renault models. Finally, in 2016 Renault revitalized Alpine to its original vocation and in 2017 introduced the new A110, powered by a turbocharged Renault 1.8-liter engine good for 252 hp.</div><div><br /></div><div>The new A110 is clearly inspired by the original A110, both in its design and in its compact measurements. Not to mention its performance potential. Thanks to the quality of the new A110, Alpine has begun to rebuild its legend as a revered name among sports car enthusiasts.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROl37ahcKzfpLC3rQ9G7XrKRa7igXrBjY7oxc2S_x3rDSx3PPLQMSJ9TpB6s-dE1BCfPtHPilLih1TPchdQeva0K5kx8ILX9-ar73gVSNeCUBDsmrI-Ar0ezMgi5aJ1ENelGekNpoZX3b/s827/jscdvs8g_mv-agusta-superveloce-alpine_625x300_18_December_20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="827" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiROl37ahcKzfpLC3rQ9G7XrKRa7igXrBjY7oxc2S_x3rDSx3PPLQMSJ9TpB6s-dE1BCfPtHPilLih1TPchdQeva0K5kx8ILX9-ar73gVSNeCUBDsmrI-Ar0ezMgi5aJ1ENelGekNpoZX3b/w614-h408/jscdvs8g_mv-agusta-superveloce-alpine_625x300_18_December_20.jpg" width="614" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">MV Agusta got in contact with Patrick Marinoff, managing director of Alpine. The two firms, well aware their respective makes represent something unique in their domains, decided to pursue a joint project. Not a radical innovative technology effort—that might come in the future. A special edition of the most seductive model in MV Agusta’s line, adopting iconography and graphics derived from the present Alpine A110 model. Enter the MV Agusta Superveloce Alpine, another limited-edition special out of Varese.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">ADVERTISEMENT</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We have seen this before, but in this case the final result is worth a second look, and we do mean look, as from a technical point of view the bike is totally standard. But the paint scheme and the general finish are absolutely outstanding. The graphics were conceived at the MV Agusta Monaco Design Studio at their Monte Carlo dealership, which is owned by former 500cc GP racer and 1987 TT Formula 1 World Champion Virginio Ferrari. The result is a combination of the classic French-Alpine Medium Blue and what they call Ago Silver. The graphics get the best out of the Superveloce’s design, delivering an undeniably elegant image. Even the frame, painted in a medium “avio-gray,” looks absolutely perfect.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Add the wheels in black and you have a truly fascinating Superveloce. An Alcantara seat with blue double stitching and a number of carbon fiber components completes the refined finishing. Alpine is there with the A crest and logo. From a technical point of view the bike is totally stock, which is not that bad given the 147 hp 800cc MV Agusta three-cylinder and its very good chassis.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6-7TAvvuh5qDSdwXv2t4sANbdfrt6gTexZduvhYXABR38s8w4MtWaarL_z5cM5i3t6A4RmLJRnRmSNcM_Zua7Ts4F-k6H0MoqDtPYgle_iHMo6z2KxhygMm7QPlFlo-Bz1UFBSKjaGSk/s800/MV-Agusta-Superveloce-Alpine-detail.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6-7TAvvuh5qDSdwXv2t4sANbdfrt6gTexZduvhYXABR38s8w4MtWaarL_z5cM5i3t6A4RmLJRnRmSNcM_Zua7Ts4F-k6H0MoqDtPYgle_iHMo6z2KxhygMm7QPlFlo-Bz1UFBSKjaGSk/w640-h480/MV-Agusta-Superveloce-Alpine-detail.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">You may have noticed that the announced peak power is 147 hp and not the customary 148 hp; well spotted. In fact, the Superveloce Alpine gets the 2021 edition of the most powerful version of the 800cc MV Agusta three, which is fully Euro 5 compliant. No shortcuts taken. R&D Director Dr. Brian Gillen confirmed that to meet the stringent Euro 5 emission standards, the 800cc three was upgraded to the latest MV Agusta electronics suite. This includes a much more advanced integrated engine management system, the same one that makes the new Brutale 1000 RR so incredibly smooth from idle to 13,000 rpm. And this came at the modest price of a single horsepower. We can take it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">ADVERTISEMENT</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Superveloce Alpine 110 unit</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Of course only 110 units of the Superveloce Alpine are available—or should we say were?MV Agusta</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The MV Agusta Superveloce Alpine, the name of which is displayed on the top triple clamp, will be available in a special run of 110 numbered units, to match the model designation of the Alpine A110. Price in Italy is 36,300 euros, including the racing kit, which in turn includes the classic-looking and rather unique exhaust system featuring triple-megaphone-style mufflers. And mere hours after the press launch in Italy, all 110 units had been sold.</div></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0kM885e7PeJhfw_Tucz62ShXPe26FznSz4uubOltvwpSMyJyZD6sGvzT0-AdoqF8YiXf4Z9ruA35JHLJcRV3vCRF3WgSrMh7_8B5XJNyMbEx-w6U5mkEc-kbyHz-dwmgdoX82V423oiWG/s2016/superveloce-alpine-popup-xl-1.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

The place Ténéré is a desert area in Niger and Chad in the southern Sahara. Sahara also means desert directly translated from Arabic. So before we start, I’m telling you that this is all about riding in the desert!</p><p><br /></p><p>To drag the 2008 Yamaha XT660Z Tènèrè all the way to the actual Ténéré area would have been a step too far on a launch event. So Yamaha decided to make the international launch a rendezvous with Morocco. In 1983 Yamaha launched the original XT600Z Tènèrè right here in Morocco.</p><p><br /></p><p>If my Dakar rally history serves me right, Stephane Peterhansel followed and won a total of 7 Paris-Dakar victories on the competition version of the Tènèrè. Nothing can speak up a desert rally offroad motorcycle more than that! In the years after Peterhansel, BMW and KTM have shared the victories in the premium class. KTM in fact is a squid in the rally game compared to Yamaha.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder whether Yamaha could persuade Peterhansel to give up his cars and do another rally on the Tènèrè for them…</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2008 Yamaha XT660Z Tènèrè has literally risen up from the desert like a mirage. I was delighted to see it in Paris for the first time in 2007. The design, technical specifications and name have got desert rally written all over it! Yamaha really are serious about this and they call the Tènèrè the original adventure tourer. The Tènèrè touches the whole concept about desert rallies, to be nomadic and to be free!</p><p><br /></p><p>After a long and extremely tough week of riding from Europe I could finally see the desert. My tongue had become one with the rest of my mouth now and I hadn’t seen water in days! I was overjoyed with an incredible pleasure inside when I could see the tops of palms that signalled an oasis just around the corner.</p><p><br /></p><p>I dropped the bike onto its side and started running towards the palms half mad from exhaustion and dehydration. Finally, I was to be greeted once again by the sweet taste of water! I could almost feel the sweet taste in my mouth already when I woke up as my comfy Royal Air Maroc flight landed in Agadir. -Sent a text to my girlfriend to signal my arrival in Morocco saying: “Play it again Sam”.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had an extremely busy schedule arriving into Agadir airport late at night before the riding started in the morning. I certainly found myself in the middle of a nomadic week. From the hotel in Tiznit just at the foot of the southern Atlas Mountains in Morocco I started the ride.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>Passing old Mercedes taxis from the 70’s working hard as the modern day camel transport, we headed towards the mountains and the outskirts of the greatest desert in the world.</p><p><br /></p><p>I felt excited to be on the Tènèrè in a different way. There’s nothing special about how the Tènèrè rides that should excite me more than a standard XT660R really. No, it’s something else- the adventure of it all. -Being in a remote area of the world, then travel even more remotely into that area on two wheels. Being on the Tènèrè, right here right now is the essence of motorcycle adventure.</p><p><br /></p><p>To tell you the truth, certain places that I pass in the desert looks just like Southern California, until you enter town that is. -Or stopping at one of the many security check points. We’re in Morocco alright, no doubt about that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Passing lorries doing 10mph up the mountain passes is a breeze on the 50 horsepower XT660Z. Despite the fact that the new Yamaha Tènèrè looks so well designed with such a high level of finish that it should compete for BMW F800GS sales, it can’t really compete with 80 horsepower on the roads. For the adventure itself though, the XT660Z Tènèrè might even be better.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Tènèrè benefits from a large 22 litre fuel tank that withstood more than 300 kilometres of very hard riding where about half was fuel gulping offroad riding and the rest fairly high speed A and B roads speaks for itself.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I didn’t feel very comfortable with the fuel warning light being lit for as long as it was. I noticed it from around 270 kilometres of riding and I was alone on my way back to Tiznit with nothing but Euros in my pocket. I decided to trust in the big tank and reached the hotel with no problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>The windshield is a tall Dakar style affair with a very distinctive dragged out headlight where the bottom part looks like David Coulthards jaw. Also, if Transformers did motorcycles the Tènèrè would be the first choice! Good one for Lego too I reckon and I could go on and on… The exteriors all round the bike looks extremely well designed. Behind the windshield however the soft covers that protect the headlight bulbs kept vibrating loose whilst riding.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not a big deal as long as you’re aware of it but if they keep loosening and then doing lots of mileage in dusty conditions it might be a long-term problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the hot desert it was such a relief to be able to stand up and ride comfortably for kilometres at a time if I wished too. I could cool down properly and the Tènèrè have been designed with a comfortable stand-up riding position in mind. The foot pegs on my bike had rubber on them for comfort, but they did get in the way on the offroad part. They can be removed easily though I wasn’t aware at the time. The Metzeler Tourance tyres (90/90-21 and 130/80-17) were perfect for the varied road conditions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Offroad I hooked my Alpinestars Tech 10’s into the gear lever a few times either putting the gear box into neutral or a gear up.</p><p><br /></p><p>That was a bit annoying whilst I tried to look cool for the photographers. The gear lever is foldable to avoid it breaking in the middle of nowhere. I spent around half of my time on the Tènèrè offroad (not half of the mileage) and whilst the riding wasn’t too complicated it was fairly fast so concentration levels had to be kept up. Suddenly there’d be a big stone in the middle of my path or suddenly a soft stretch of sand. I also tried my first “dune” which only was a tiny one really.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the Metzeler Tourance tyres I didn’t like it much to be honest and got stuck to get the obligatory spinning in the sand picture.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>There were a lot of stones in Morocco and the extra engine protection was really needed as I could hear big ones hit hard all the time. The thing about Adventure touring bikes is that they don’t necessarily need to be very light. As a matter of fact it’s very difficult to make them flyweight due to the big fuel tanks, sturdy frames and engine protection. Then add solid aluminium panniers and luggage and you’re easily 250 kilos without rider or passenger. The Tènèrè weighs a claimed 183 kilos dry but it never felt too heavy even offroad.</p><p><br /></p><p>The easy to use single cylinder engine helps with traction all the time. Yamaha have based the XT660Z on the XT660R engine, but have improved the throttle response and adjusted for a very smooth torque curve. A motorcycle such as the Tènèrè needs some serious cooling components and the radiator is bigger than the items found on the XT660R and MT-03. Apart from these changes this 660cc thumper is as proven and reliable as you could possibly wish for. 48,4 horsepower is as much as Yamaha is willing to give you with the reliability in mind.</p><p><br /></p><p>Much more than that and there will be different issues. The new 6.8 litre air box is one of the clues to the fine throttle response. The unique design also features an easy to remove and clean paper air filter</p><p><br /></p><p>The new exhaust has also been made with the Tènèrè especially in mind. The header pipes are routed high up on the side for good Ground Clearance. The under seat slim mufflers has been designed with luggage options in mind and Yamaha have also taken the necessary steps to reduce heat radiation for better passenger comfort.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Within the new steel frame chassis Yamaha have integrated the oil reservoir.</p><p><br /></p><p>You’ll find it just behind the headstock and a dipstick is used to check the oil level. The swing arm is a very high tech gravity-cast aluminium item. The mono shock attached to the swing arm is adjustable for spring pre load only and the same goes for adjustability on the rubber guarded 43mm front fork. To make sure the Tènèrè can stop efficiently even when loaded heavy Yamaha have added double disc brakes at the front with two pot Brembo callipers. Whilst being powerful enough I found them good offroad too as they are not too sharp.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 895mm seat height didn’t actually feel as high as it looks on paper. A desert rally bike made for touring or not, really needs good Ground Clearance and that’s why these bikes are taller than most other bikes. For sand you need lots and lots of clearance and suspension travel. The tall windscreen is very clever here as it actually helps a lot against all type of weather even if you are sitting high up with an offroad helmet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Should you get lost in the middle of the desert Yamaha have designed the cockpit area so that a GPS can be easily mounted in the right height just above the instruments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yamaha are launching the XT660Z Tènèrè with a big accessories catalogue that should cover all touring needs. Three colour options are available for 2008: The classic competition white reflecting back on the original ’83 Tènèrè, Desert Khaki and Midnight black.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Conclusion</p><p>I am frankly quite impressed by the effort Yamaha have put into this motorcycle. I guess they had to with some serious competition from KTM and BMW in the Adventure segment. With the 2008 incarnation of the XT660Z Tènèrè Yamaha is firmly back in the Adventure touring game. It is very good offroad and seriously comfortable on the roads too due to the tall windscreen and decent seat. The Tènèrè is one motorcycle that feels at home anywhere, from the city to the Sahara desert. –A true all-rounder.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2008 Tènèrè is not just a Dakar copycat, it works right there en route to Dakar!</p><p>Huge fuel capacity and no mods to take low octane fuel</p><p>Not often does such a functional motorcycle hit me exactly on the spot!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03883656062758792381noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922941846253825841.post-65977770811333097712020-12-25T14:52:00.000-08:002020-12-25T14:52:03.448-08:00Piaggio MP3 Hybrid 3 (2009)<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: large;"> Piaggio MP3 Hybrid 3 (2009)</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbidjIxmnDkQOozavMtcXICYq7xJLcjuijW5RxfbM4LhFdiSIybHV-1Vhw0_DwhVx-McAwwZiobzs9IySnrf_CYoofa5VGxz7nXntwwrjvzShCMtoM2eGNqzqbZbhyphenhyphenevUxs5KSgVeckw/s700/Piaggio+MP3+Hybrid+3++a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="608" data-original-width="700" height="556" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrbidjIxmnDkQOozavMtcXICYq7xJLcjuijW5RxfbM4LhFdiSIybHV-1Vhw0_DwhVx-McAwwZiobzs9IySnrf_CYoofa5VGxz7nXntwwrjvzShCMtoM2eGNqzqbZbhyphenhyphenevUxs5KSgVeckw/w640-h556/Piaggio+MP3+Hybrid+3++a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li> Make Model: Piaggio MP3 125LT Hybrid</li><li>Year: 2009</li><li>Engine: Four stroke, single cylinder, SOHC, 4 valve</li><li>Capacity: 124 cc / 7.6 cub in.</li><li>Bore x Stroke: 57 x 48.6 mm</li><li>Compression Ratio: 12.0:1</li><li>Cooling System: Liquid cooled</li><li>Ignition: Port Injected Alfa/n type with closed loop system, Lambda sensor in exhaust pipe and three-way double catalytic converter</li><li>Starting: Electric (Bendix) with automatic decompressor and automatic choke</li><li>Max Power: 11 kW / 15 bhp @ 9250 rpm + 2.6 kW / 3.5 hp electric motor</li><li>Max Toque: 12 Nm / 1.22 kgf-m / 8.85 ft-lb @ 8500 rpm</li><li>Transmission: VT automatic transmission</li><li>Final Drive: Belt</li><li>Clutch: Centrifugal clutch</li><li>Frame: High-strength tubular steel twin cradle</li><li>Front Suspension: Parallelogram consisting of four aluminium arms supporting two steering tubes, cantilever suspension system</li><li>Front Wheel Travel: 85 mm / 3.3 in.</li><li>Rear Suspension: Two double-acting hydraulic shocks and adjustable spring preload</li><li>Rear Wheel Travel: 110 mm / 4.3 in.</li><li>Front Brakes: 2 x 240mm discs, 2 piston caliper</li><li>Rear Brakes: Single 240mm disc</li><li>Front Tyre: 2 x 120/70 -12</li><li><br /></li><li>Rear Tyre: 140/70 -12</li><li>Seat Height: 780 mm / 30.7 in.</li><li>Dry Weight: 249 kg / 549 lbs</li><li>Fuel Capacity: 12 L / 3.2 US gal</li><li>Consumption Average: 1.7 L/100 km / 60 km/l / 141 US mpg</li><li>Acceleration: 0 – 97 km/h / 60 mph: 5 sec (if both methods of propulsion </li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN1d7mtsOwpr8jsWsVtsvQsBF-1Hs6AgkGfzQF1lrhqddmJKA7BImpy05uhQwwIgsjLkAY7ctoHw2x9n65MdU_gGABrsqnHQ2La7VWZvQWp9Lg-0AReloFKxPBPNLnJveDK5IGXLuo3fg/s800/36573_piaggio_mp3_hybrid_02-4b77aa8561955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="800" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN1d7mtsOwpr8jsWsVtsvQsBF-1Hs6AgkGfzQF1lrhqddmJKA7BImpy05uhQwwIgsjLkAY7ctoHw2x9n65MdU_gGABrsqnHQ2La7VWZvQWp9Lg-0AReloFKxPBPNLnJveDK5IGXLuo3fg/w640-h496/36573_piaggio_mp3_hybrid_02-4b77aa8561955.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The Piaggio MP3 Hybrid is not only the first plug-in hybrid scooter to reach production, but also one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles ever made. It achieves its incredibly frugal consumption -- up to 141mpg -- thanks to a parallel hybrid system similar to that used by the Toyota Prius. Combining a 125cc four-stroke engine with an electric motor, the leaning three-wheeler is capable of operating on either power source alone or with the two combined for increased performance. But, that's only part of the story; the MP3 Hybrid could be the first plug-in hybrid vehicle -- bike or car -- to enter mass production anywhere in the world.</div><div><br /></div><div>With a normal parallel hybrid, the only energy sources are gasoline and kinetic energy harvested by regenerative braking; both are used to recharge the batteries, which then power an electric motor that supplements the gas engine under acceleration and runs the vehicle by itself at low speeds. It's a clever system that can really reduce fuel consumption, especially at low speeds and in stop-start traffic. The only flaw is that the internal combustion engine must burn some fossil fuel to recharge the batteries, meaning the system isn't as efficient as it could be if those batteries were being recharged from an external source. That's where the plug in "plug-in" comes in handy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Plug the MP3 Hybrid into a standard wall outlet and you can fully charge its battery pack in just three hours. That energy can then be used to make the scooter even more efficient in hybrid mode or enable it to run on its batteries alone, delivering a silent, zero emissions vehicle (it can operate in electric-only mode after recharging its batteries from the engine as well).</div><div><br /></div><div>In fact, the MP3 Hybrid can operate in any one of four modes: the aforementioned electric-only or three hybrid modes designed to maximize performance, minimize fuel consumption or recharge the batteries quickly. The later could come in handy if you know you're about to enter one of the new emissions-free vehicles only zones now cropping up in some Europeans cities. In maximum performance mode the batteries can boost acceleration by 85%. Considering the 15bhp, 64mph 125cc MP3 is already fairly nippy, that assistance should give it performance equivalent to a 250cc scooter. For the uninitiated, that means a 0-60 time in the 5-second range or enough urgency to easily out accelerate most cars in town.</div><div><br /></div><div>Other than achieving stupendously impressive fuel economy, the MP3 Hybrid looks and works just like the non-hybrid version. The only sacrifice is to underseat storage -- that's where the batteries go -- which still remains large enough to fit one full-face helmet. The two-wheeled front end that gives the MP3 its unique character remains unaltered; that means it'll still lean over up to 40˚, but should be immune to falling over or washing out at speed; advantages that've proven enormously popular with new riders.</div><div><br /></div><div>The MP3 hybrid will retain a scooter's inherent green credentials too. Scooters (motorcycles too) neither slow other vehicles down -- they don't cause congestion -- nor are they subject to sitting still in traffic, they're capable of safely passing through it. So the MP3 is free to achieve its 141mpg while enjoying shorter journey times than any four-wheeled vehicle.</div><div><br /></div><div>Source Hell for leather</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Review</div><div><br /></div><div>Hybrid cars are familiar enough now on British roads not to evoke comment, but we've yet to see a hybrid motorcycle or scooter.</div><div><br /></div><div>One reason is cost, as few motorcycle companies are large enough to support the considerable development costs of the new technology, but another is more prosaic: packaging.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fitting one engine between two wheels can be tough enough, let alone two sources of motive power.</div><div><br /></div><div>Piaggio has finally done it, or at least fitted the power sources between three wheels, as the new MP3 Hybrid is based on the odd but effective MP3, which has a conventional scooter rear half married to a twin-wheeled front, where both wheels lean and are suspended independently, extending and retracting as you corner like a slalom skier's legs.</div><div><br /></div><div>The MP3 Hybrid uses a 125cc four-stroke engine found in various other Piaggio products, and in addition a 2.6kW electric motor mounted on the transmission casing alongside the rear wheel.</div><div><br /></div><div>The claims to green credentials include carbon emissions of 40g/km, which appears to compare very favourably against the best known hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, and its 89 g/km.</div><div><br /></div><div>The figures, though, are not directly comparable, as Piaggio's test is not the same as the standard car cycles, and it does also seem the MP3 Hybrid starts the test with its battery pack fully charged and ends it with them flat, so more carbon needs to be accounted for in the recharge.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's not comparing like with like anyway, as the MP3 is far slower than the Prius, and indeed any standard 125cc scooter.</div><div><br /></div><div>It's possible to select either petrol-only, combined or electric-only riding from the intuitive dash and buttons, and with both working together you have an output similar to a 250cc scooter to play with.</div><div><br /></div><div>That sounds reasonable, but you have a big factor working against you, and you know it's going to be an issue as soon as you look for it in the specifications: the weight figure has been quietly left out.</div><div><br /></div><div>At 549lb (249kg) the MP3 Hybrid is almost dead-on a quarter of a ton, and when the batteries run out, you're left with the 125's 14bhp to haul you and the rest of the mass along, and the pace is very leisurely indeed.</div><div><br /></div><div>It doesn't take long for the electricity to dry up either. In combined mode the batteries last for about 25 minutes so you're only on an overweight 250 for less than half an hour, and it's about the same time before you need a three-hour plug-in charge if you switch to electric-only power - you can at least do this direct from domestic mains power with a normal 13 amp plug.</div><div><br /></div><div>But with the petrol engine turned off you have a top speed of about 20mph, which is dangerously slow for much city traffic, especially as they'll be expecting you to be quicker on what looks like a big-engined executive scooter. You'll only manage 11 miles at best too.</div><div><br /></div><div>The mass you're carrying is noticeable in the handling too, as the Hybrid will not be flicked and hustled through traffic, preferring to be swung through direction changes at a more relaxed pace, although at least the mass means the ride is smoother. It probably flattens bumps rather than bouncing over them…</div><div><br /></div><div>As it is, the real advantage of the MP3 Hybrid is providing transport within some Italian cities' zero emissions zones, inner regions where only electric vehicles are allowed.</div><div><br /></div><div>These don't exist in Britain, which leaves the MP3 looking to sell only on the fact that it's a hybrid with plenty of sacrifices to demand in terms of practical transport. Even the MP3's useful underseat storage is lost to batteries.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then there's the cost: the exact figure has yet to be set but at €9,000 in Europe, Piaggio UK says it will cost about £8,000 in the UK.</div><div><br /></div><div>If the weight doesn't take your breath away, the price will. If the Hybrid lacks everyday practicality, another take on the MP3 theme, the LT, is the only practical solution for many road users: it can be ridden legally with a car licence.</div><div><br /></div><div>By widening the front track slightly Piaggio has qualified the MP3 LT as a trike, meaning a car driver can ride it, and there isn't a requirement to wear a helmet.</div><div><br /></div><div>The MP3 LT offers better safety than a conventional scooter as, like other MP3 versions, it doesn't immediately fall if the wheels slide, but it's still a remarkably satisfying ride.</div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

For 2015, the BV350 has been renewed and further refined. The sophisticated look, both aggressive and elegant, offers a variety of updates from color to trim, as well as an improved saddle.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>The new Piaggio BV350 is more comfortable, better finished, and available in a brand new eye-catching color range – Bianco Stella and Nero Opaco Carbonio (matte finish). The deluxe new colors are each characterized by the titanium grey variant accenting the rear rack, muffler heat shield, central tunnel, in addition to the fork leg protection. Both color variations of the 2015 BV350 feature a totally redesigned black seat, finding the best anatomic solution to further improve riding comfort.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Before you get in your car on Monday morning, ask yourself this: Are you looking forward to your commute? Get yourself a BV and you will. Twist the throttle and traffic disappears behind you. The BV 350’s innovative technology provides agility, efficiency and riding pleasure at the highest levels. The BV 350 features a state-of-the-art, single cylinder 350cc engine. With the power of a 400cc and the compact dimensions and light weight of a 300cc, the BV 350 sets a new standard in the maxi-scooter segment, making it the most powerful scooter in its class. The BV 350 is complimented with Italian design and the highest attention to detail and finishing.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>The new Beverly Sport Touring is the first scooter on the market which can be equipped with the ABS/ASR package for optimum vehicle management even in the most delicate situations, such as in the event of a sudden loss of grip in emergency acceleration or braking.</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Both the wheels are equipped with a tone wheel and a sensor for instantaneous detection of rotation speed. The sensors are connected to a two channel hydraulic control unit which, through servo valves regulates the pressure to the braking system, activating the ABS at the moment in which the wheel tends to lock up.</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wOXGnetUH7U"

It combines the versatile performance of the V-Strom 1000 with exciting middleweight agility.

margin-inline: 0px;" />Design</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />When the Ducati Design Center started working on the Multistrada 950 the goal was to develop a compact, eye-pleasing bike that had to be, above all else, a true Multistrada. That's why it takes its cue from the two bigger-engined Multistrada family members.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The Multistrada 950 combines Multistrada 1200 and Multistrada 1200 Enduro design features to perfection, taking the “lightest” elements from both. The front-on view, with the distinctive headlight, 'beak', adjustable screen, two ‘wings’ and tank come from the Multistrada 1200. The rider's seat with narrow mid-section, the passenger seat, rear grab rail, the design of the exhaust and swingarm and the wheel sizes were, instead, taken from the Multistrada 1200 Enduro. This mix has produced a bike with classic Multistrada lines that's also compact, and not just visually.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />Moreover, the bodywork colour that extends to the seat and the numerous black-painted parts - such as the engine guard, silencer and swingarm - make the Multistrada 950 look even lighter. Carefully designed alloy wheels have succeeded in making the thin Y-spokes look as similar as possible to wire spokes.</span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Other Multistrada 950 hallmarks include the assertive, high-tech front headlight and LED tail light. Features such as the frame (designed to maximise efficiency in terms of both weight and performance), the rear sub-frame (aluminium with integrated pannier supports) and new switchgears (ergonomic and practical) are just some of the characteristics that underscore Ducati's attention to detail.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The Multistrada 950 is available in two colours; classic Ducati Red and stylish Star White Silk. Both colour schemes feature matt grey frame and wheels.</span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img alt="" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/Ducati_multistrada_950_17_03.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Ergonomics</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />Built with long-range touring in mind, the Multistrada 950 has been designed to ensure outstanding comfort, even when the bike is fully laden. This has resulted in an ergonomic “triangle” that guarantees, for rider and passenger alike, comfort and control whatever the situation.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The bike is 'roomy'. It can easily seat two people, even with top case and side panniers on board. A 1594 mm wheelbase distributes rider and luggage (where applicable) weight perfectly, benefiting the vehicle's dynamic performance. Foot pegs have been lined with rubber inserts to dampen vibration.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The Multistrada 950 seat is 840 mm off the ground (a lower 820 mm seat and a higher 860 mm one are available as Ducati Performance accessories) and its generous front and rear sizing means immediate comfort and assured wanderlust. The wide tapered handlebars have been designed to optimise comfort, provide a dominant riding position and make the most of the generous steering lock. And that's not all: it's been mounted on silent-blocks to filter out vibration, giving an optimal balance between comfort and 'feel'.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />A spacious stowage area under the passenger seat can be used for tools, the motorcycle handbook and personal items. The GARMIN sat-nav, available as a Ducati Performance accessory, is powered via a special connector in the dashboard area. There's also a USB port underneath the seat: this can be used to charge smartphones or other devices.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></span><img alt="" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/Ducati_multistrada_950_17_02.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Engine</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The Multistrada 950 is powered by the already renowned twin cylinder 937 cm3 Testastretta 11°, now extensively overhauled. EURO 4-rated, it has four valves per cylinder, liquid cooling and bore and stroke measurements of 94 and 67.5 mm respectively. Engine power amounts to a maximum of 113 hp at 9,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 96.2 Nm at 7,750 rpm. The compression ratio is 12.6:1.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The twin cylinder Testastretta 11° engine on the Multistrada 950 features two new cylinder heads with a redesigned oil circuit and secondary air intake ducts on the covers. The Multistrada 950 gulps in the fuel mix through new 53 mm cylindrical-section throttle bodies controlled by an advanced Ride-by-Wire system. Moreover, this engine also features a new control unit and electronic injection system. The exhaust system is of the 2-1-2 type with lateral silencer.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The clutch, instead, is of the oil bath type with slipper function and low-effort lever control. The slipper function cuts in when the rear wheel exerts back-torque, reducing pressure on the discs to ensure vehicle stability during the aggressive down-shifting typical of competitive riding.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The 937 cm3 Ducati Testastretta 11° twin cylinder engine has a maintenance interval of 15,000 (9,000 miles) km or 12 months, with valve clearance inspection every 30,000 km (18,000 miles).</span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img alt="" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/Ducati_multistrada_950_17_07.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Frame</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />On the Multistrada 950 the frame design features a front Trellis made up of large-diameter yet thin tubing, plus two lateral aluminium sub-frames to ensure maximum torsional rigidity. The Multistrada 950 has a minimum ground clearance of 183.5 mm.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The shell-cast aluminium twin-sided swingarm is painted black.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Suspension</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The Multistrada 950 has a front upside down 48 mm fork with 170 mm of travel, a dedicated cast fork leg, plus adjustable spring pre-load and hydraulic compression and rebound damping. At the rear, a Sachs shock connects the swingarm to the left sub-frame: again, spring pre-load is adjustable (via a knob-operated hydraulic press), as is hydraulic compression and rebound damping. The spring is progressive, consequently increasing ride comfort even with the bike fully loaded. Rear suspension travel is 170 mm.</span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Tyres and wheels<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></strong>The Multistrada 950 is equipped with alloy wheels that mount Pirelli SCORPION™ Trail II tyres: 120/70 R19 at the front and 170/60 R17 at the rear. SCORPION™ Trail II: this tyre is a perfect blend of off-road racing capacity and great road performance. Designed for the most demanding motorcyclists, its plus-points include high mileage, consistent performance throughout its life-cycle and first-class performance in the wet.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></span><img alt="" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/Ducati_multistrada_950_17_04.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Braking system<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></strong>The Multistrada 950 features Brembo M4.32 monobloc radial calipers with four 32 mm diameter pistons and 2 pads, an axial pump and dual 320 mm front discs. At the rear a 265 mm disc is gripped by a floating caliper, again by Brembo. Such top-drawer components ensure unbeatable performance, a feature that has always been a Ducati hallmark.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Ducati Safety Pack (DSP)<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></strong>The Multistrada 950 is equipped with a DSP (Ducati Safety Pack) that includes ABS and Ducati Traction Control, enhancing bike performance, optimising control and boosting safety levels. This package is managed via four different Riding Modes, each of which (Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro) gives the Multistrada 950 a distinctive personality thanks to different ABS and DTC (Ducati Traction Control) settings.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Bosch ABS System<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></strong>Multistrada 950 standard equipment includes a Brembo braking system with ABS, controlled by the Bosch 9.1 MP control unit with integrated pressure sensor, which is part of the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP). The 3-level system ensures short stopping distances and stability whatever the riding conditions thanks to full integration with Riding Modes. Level 1 adapts ABS intervention to off-road use: there is no intervention on the rear wheel and no rear wheel anti-lift. Level 2 sees the ABS act on both the front and rear wheels but rear wheel anti-lift remains deactivated. Lastly, the highest level 3 setting provides maximum braking stability and rear wheel lift-up prevention. The ABS system can be deactivated in any Riding Mode and will stay off until the next Key-On.</span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img alt="" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/Ducati_multistrada_950_17_06.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Ducati Traction Control (DTC)<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></strong>The DTC (Ducati Traction Control) on the Multistrada 950 detects and subsequently controls any rear wheelspin, enhancing both bike performance and active safety. The Multistrada 950 features the latest DTC software version, optimised to ensure a soft response thanks to intervention on both spark advance and throttle body control. The system lets riders select from among 8 different profiles, each calibrated to provide a rear wheelspin tolerance that matches progressive levels of riding ability (classified from 1 to 8). Level 1 minimises system intervention and is, together with level 2, best suited to off-road use. Level 8, instead, maximises ABS intervention and is ideal on wet roads. Ducati sets DTC levels for each of the four Riding Modes; however, these can be personalised to meet riders' specific needs and saved on the individual menu settings. The DTC function can be switched off in any Riding Mode and will then stay off until the next Key-On.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Ducati Riding Modes<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></strong>Ducati Riding Modes, first introduced on the Multistrada in 2010, let riders select different pre-set modes that optimise bike behaviour according to their individual riding styles and road conditions. The Multistrada 950 has four Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro), each programmed to act on the electronic Ride-by-Wire (RbW) engine control system and the ABS and DTC levels. The available modes stem from a combination of cutting-edge dedicated technologies. Riding Modes can be changed on the go, while personalised ABS and DTC settings need to be made with the bike at standstill with the throttle closed.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Touring</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />Touring Riding Mode delivers 113 hp with progressive Ride-by-Wire throttle twist response, DTC is set higher (level 5) as is the ABS (level 3), maximising both braking stability and wheel lift-up prevention.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Sport</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />Selecting Sport Riding Mode transforms the Multistrada 950 into an adrenalin-fuelled 113 hp machine. This Riding Mode is characterised by a direct Ride-by-Wire throttle twist response, a low DTC setting (level 4) and low ABS setting (level 2) with no rear wheel lift-up prevention.</span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img alt="" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/Ducati_multistrada_950_17_08.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Urban</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />Urban Riding Mode delivers a maximum power of 75 hp with progressive Ride-by-Wire throttle twist response; DTC is set to an even higher intervention level (level 6) and the ABS setting is at level 3, maximising braking stability and wheel lift-up prevention.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Enduro</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />Enduro Riding Mode gives the Multistrada 950 a maximum power of 75 hp with progressive Ride-by-Wire throttle twist response; DTC intervention is suitable (level 2) for off-road use and the ABS setting is low (level 1), deactivating rear wheel lift-up prevention.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />L<strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">CD Instrumentation</strong><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />The Multistrada 950 instrument panel consists of a large easy-to-see LCD that provides the rider with primary and secondary information. The unit gives info on speed, rpm, total distance ridden, selected gear, trip1 and trip2, engine coolant temperature, fuel level and, of course, a clock. And that's not all: the display shows the selected Riding Mode, miles remaining, real-time fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, average speed, air temperature, travel time and road ice warning.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /><strong style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Headlight and indicators<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" /></strong>Like other bikes in the Multistrada family, the 950 has an assertive-looking, high-tech headlight. At the rear there is a LED tail light. A hazard warning lights function is also available on the Multistrada 950; this is activated by pressing the dedicated key.</span></p><p class="auto-style2" style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px;

line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Motorcycling has seen many shifts in riders’ expectations of their bikes – what they do, how they look and how they make them feel – over the last decade. And Honda has never been afraid to apply its technology, engineering and ‘what if…?’ imagination to create motorcycles that inhabit new spaces in the marketplace.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The CB1000R is one such bike. Introduced through a major model change in 2018, Honda’s development engineers re-assessed the hard-core streetfighter underpinnings of the previous model and, steered by retro-industrial minimalism, stripped everything back. The resulting machine, born under the banner of ‘Neo Sports Café’, was a new fusion of sport naked and bare-boned Café Racer inspirations.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/honda-cb1000r-black-21-02.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">It stood out from the crowd by moving away from the standard super sports-derived big naked formula, melding exhilarating function to a form that offered a radically fresh, visually stunning two-wheeled aesthetic. Combining more with less, the reborn CB1000R gave its rider a huge amount of usable engine performance, with the control of a super sports machine.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Exciting to ride, and fully capable of chasing much more focused machinery down on a twisting back road, from whichever way it’s approached – aesthetics, emotions, performance or technology – the CB1000R has proved itself a hard motorcycle to ignore.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Minor cosmetic updates for 2020 further enhanced its premium status. Now, for 2021, the CB1000R moves forward significantly, both in terms of style and rider engagement.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Model Overview</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Visually, the 2021 CB1000R’s lines are more aggressive, forward-set with shrink-wrapped new details like the exposed aluminium subframe, radiator shrouds and airbox covers, flowing in holistic, dynamic harmony. The headlight, too, evolves in shape and now slants back, while intricately crafted new wheels add to the engineering prowess on display.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">While the chassis is unchanged the engine earns revised PGM-FI settings, smoothing power delivery, and EURO5 compliance. A new, full colour TFT instrument display offers Honda Smartphone Voice Control System, linking the rider to their smartphone function, and there’s also a USB charging socket under the seat.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/honda-cb1000r-black-21-03.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">The 2021CB1000R Black Edition</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">While the new CB1000R is a motorcycle hewn into purposeful beauty, Honda’s engineers chose to go several steps further with the new Black Edition. With a hand-built, custom look, the Black Edition starts out on the same manufacturing line as the standard CB1000R, then takes a detour into a moodier aesthetic territory and some extra, desirable, accessories.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Apart from a few machined aluminium details – on the wheel spokes, swingarm plates, engine covers and handlebar clamps – everything on show is black: the headlight bezel, fly-screen, fork stanchions, radiator shrouds, and airbox covers (with an anodized finish), exhaust and muffler. Deep Graphite Black paint adorns the fuel tank and pillion seat cover.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">A quickshifter, too is standard-fit. A machined ‘CB’ logo adds a finishing touch.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/honda-cb1000r-black-21-06.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Key Features</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Styling & Equipment</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">- Aggressive, ‘mass-forward’ stance heightened, with sleeker styling front to back, and new cast aluminium wheels</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">- Honda Smartphone Voice Control System links the rider to their smartphone via Bluetooth and 5-inch colour TFT screen; USB charging socket under the seat</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Honda’s ‘Neo Sports Café’ design aesthetic was created not only with a fondness for the past, but with an eye on the future as well, with ample scope for variations to the theme. As such, it is not standing still for 2021; the CB1000R takes the impressive styling statement made in 2018 as a springboard, and turns up the dial. The distinctive Neo Sports Café look is unmistakeable, but the drama is heightened and stance even more aggressively hunched forward, and diagonally down, around the striking, black-finished engine. New 7-spoke cast aluminium wheels add an intricate, head-turning finish.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">From tip to tail the flow is harmonious: the instantly-recognisable round headlight now sits in a teardrop style surround, and lays backwards between the forks; the burnished aluminium radiator shrouds are much more compact and angled into the direction of travel, a design cue mirrored by the airbox covers.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The sinuous aluminium subframe, completely redesigned, is now finished in aluminium (rather than black) highlighting the stark minimalism of the rear. And not to miss an aesthetic detail, the number plate mount is also smaller.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/honda-cb1000r-black-21-04.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">While it may turn heads and stop traffic with its revised looks, the day-to-day practicalities have also not been overlooked, and real-world ease-of-use is improved with the new CB1000R. The instruments now comprise a 5-inch, full colour high-visibility TFT screen, which offers four types of speed/rpm display – according to rider preference – as well as fuel gauge/consumption, riding mode selection/engine parameters and Shift Up indicator. Management is via the buttons on the left handlebar.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Also incorporated into the interface is the new Honda Smartphone Voice Control (HSVC) system, which links the rider to their smartphone while on the move and allows voice management of phone calls, email, music and navigation. A helmet-mounted headset is needed and the smartphone connects to the dash via Bluetooth; management of HSVC is also possible using buttons the left switchgear. There’s also now a USB socket under the seat, for smartphone charging.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The CB1000R’s rear indicators have an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. Under hard braking, the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. The indicators also auto-cancel; rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/honda-cb1000r-black-21-08.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Engine</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">- CBR1000RR derived, four-cylinder engine with Throttle By Wire</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">- Revised PGM-FI settings smooth delivery and response</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">- The engine is now EURO5 compliant</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The CB1000R’s 998cc DOHC four-cylinder engine provides a healthy dose of both power and torque: 107 kW @ 10,500rpm and 104Nm @ 8,250 pm. Bore and stroke are set at 75mm x 56.5 mm with compression ratio 11.6:1. The redline begins at 11,500rpm and the rev-limiter cuts in at 12,000rpm; the only changes for 2021 are optimised PGM-FI settings – smoothing power delivery and improving response – and EURO5 compliance.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">This engine is tuned to deliver its torque with a characteristic ‘ramp’ in the 6-8,000rpm range, where it bulges significantly, generating an exciting and engaging riding experience. It’s also a useful aid for rapid roll-on acceleration in real-world overtaking conditions.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The airbox, ducting and air filter present a smooth route for airflow into the engine, reducing pressure loss all the way from the outer ducts; a 44mm diameter throttle body feeds air/fuel mixture into large diameter inlet ports and carefully-shaped combustion chambers. Inlet valve lift is set at 8.3mm, exhaust 8.1mm. The pistons are constructed from forged aluminium.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Short gear ratios ensure exhilarating acceleration through the gears between 30-130km/h. The assist/slipper clutch is super-light and helps manage hard, rapid downshifts.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The exhaust adds to the CB1000R’s mid-range muscle and light weight. It’s a 4-2-1 design, feeding via 4 short catalysers into a main chamber, which then feeds a dual chamber muffler. The exhaust note has been tuned internally, meaning that as the revs rise past 5,500rpm it takes on a significantly deeper, more raw tone.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">For EURO5 compliance, the 02 lambda exhaust sensors have been replaced with Linear Air Flow (LAF) sensors in the downpipes to allow for much more accurate measurement of the spent gases. The engine returns fuel efficiency of 17.1km/L.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/honda-cb1000r-black-21-07.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Engine electronics</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">- Three default rider modes plus USER customisation option</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">- Three levels of Power, Engine Brake and Honda Selectable Torque Control</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Throttle By Wire (TBW) allows the rider maximum control over the CB1000R’s powerful engine via 3 default riding modes plus 1 USER mode, managed between the left handlebar and the TFT screen.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">There are 3 levels of Engine Power (P), Engine Brake (EB) and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) available; HSTC can also be switched off.

line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Yamaha’s illustrious range of race bikes have enjoyed success from the pinnacle of racing, MotoGP and FIM Superbike World Championship, to grassroot series and track days. The Yamaha R6, introduced in 1999, has been the Supersport bike of choice since its creation and the 2021 model will be available exclusively as a non-homologated version, while a dedicated R6 GYTR Kit is being introduced from January 2021 for the ultimate track day experience.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_M-Z_16/yamaha-r6-race-21-09.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Racing History</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">After scoring its maiden victory on only its second outing, with Jamie Whitham in the 1999 FIM Supersport World Championship’s visit to Donington Park, the Yamaha R6 has since taken the likes of Jörg Teuchert, Cal Crutchlow, Chaz Davies, Sam Lowes, Lucas Mahias, Sandro Cortese and Randy Krummenacher to world titles. This year, Andrea Locatelli joined that list after a record-breaking season with the R6, which continues to prove itself as the leading choice in WorldSSP. The appreciation of the R6 on the race track has been largely recognized as well amongst track day enthusiasts and national racers.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_M-Z_16/yamaha-r6-race-21-04.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Yamaha R6 RACE</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The homologated R6 will be discontinued next year, as Yamaha shifts its focus to providing the ultimate track bike, and the standard R6 RACE is available now for a race-targeted price, for track day participants to national supersport championship contenders. Customers can decide how they want their bike to be personalised to further enhance their on-track experience.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The R6 RACE is powered by a lightweight 599cc DOHC liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine with titanium valves. The Deltabox aluminium frame incorporates years of Grand Prix racing development, with the magnesium subframe optimising front-rear weight balance, while the high-spec KYB front forks and KYB rear shock suspension result in precise handling and razor-sharp cornering. It also includes traction control, D-modes, and a ride-by-wire Yamaha chip-controlled throttle for ultimate responsiveness.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The non-homologated R6 RACE will be available at your local Yamaha dealers from January 2021 onwards.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_M-Z_16/yamaha-r6-race-21-02.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">R6 GYTR Kit</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">GYTR® (Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing) engineers have been bringing industry-leading technology to every performance accessory they’ve designed for over 40 years. Working closely with racing teams and test riders, a wide range of performance-enhancing components have been developed for anyone looking to boost their Yamaha bikes, parts and full race kits.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The R6 GYTR Kit takes the Yamaha R6 RACE to the next level, ready to line up on the grid, with an array of performance enhancing features in exclusive full race trim. This includes a GYTR Electronic package with a lightweight wire harness and programable ECU so the bike can be set up for optimal engine performance. The AIS (Air Intake System) block off plates will allow the R6 RACE to use the fresh air directly provided by its large air intake which will benefit its power output. And to make sure all power is well managed the full Titanium Akrapovic race exhaust is specifically developed to maximize engine power, and significantly reduces overall weight.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_M-Z_16/yamaha-r6-race-21-08.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The easy to fit WSS race cowling reduces drag, and will improve straight-line speed as well as handling. Along with the increase of power, the brakes are also upgraded with stainless steel brake lines for direct feedback and an improved feeling under deceleration. The GYTR ABS Emulator will allow the ABS pump removal for even further weight reduction.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Other FIM required parts are fitted, such as the front brake lever guard and rear sprocket protector, while the rear paddock stand hooks make for better efficiency when removing the rear wheel.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual;

Damping is adjusted electronically to suit vehicle speed and suspension stroke speed. Deceleration is also taken into account, allowing the pitching that occurs under braking to be managed. Showa’s Skyhook software was carefully fine-tuned by Kawasaki engineers to ensure the Z H2 SE’s sporty riding character remained, delivering a smoother ride as it continually adapts to the road surface in real-time. The Skyhook concept imagines a hook supporting the motorcycle’s sprung weight and modulates the suspension’s damping force to allow the wheels to track the dips and bumps encountered while maintaining the motorcycle’s vertical position with minimal disturbance. In Rain Mode, the Skyhook software reduces pitching, steering remains light, and the machine feels more planted by also taking into account vertical acceleration and pitch rate (each confirmed every 10 ms) when determining the damping force required.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The mechanical components are controlled via a solenoid valve with direct (single-stage) actuation. This results in a rapid reaction time of one millisecond, which is much quicker than systems that rely on step-motors or those that use pilot valves (two-stage actuation), which slow the system’s responsiveness. The quick reaction time gives the KECS system a more natural feeling and is ideal for sport riding applications, where real-time reaction to bumps and gaps in the road surface enable superior riding comfort.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/kawasaki-z-h2-se-21-01.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The built-in stroke sensors on both the fork and rear shock provide real-time stroke speed and position information. The sensor coils provide input to the KECS ECU every millisecond and are complemented by information provided by the IMU (vehicle acceleration/deceleration), the FI ECU (front/rear wheel speed), and the ABS ECU (front brake caliper pressure) every 10 milliseconds. The KECS ECU then directs current to the solenoids to adjust damping as required by the situation.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Z H2 SE uses a sporty 43 mm Showa SFF-CA (cartridge) fork and a high-spec BFRC lite rear shock and base damping character set according to the integrated Riding Mode (Sport, Road, Rain, Rider (manual)) selected. KECS then adjusts to the road surface environment in real-time to provide the ideal damping, taking into account vehicle speed, stroke speed and deceleration.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">KECS is also monitored by Kawasaki’s advanced IMU-enhanced electronics package joining KTRC, KLCM, and KIBS, KECS as inputs for KCMF (Kawasaki Cornering Management Function) which incorporates multiple engine and chassis systems to facilitate smooth cornering.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Brakes & Wheels</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Also new on the Z H2 SE is a premium spec Brembo front brake package which includes Stylema monobloc calipers and a Brembo front master cylinder and steel-braided lines, offering stronger braking performance and enhanced control. The Stylema calipers are lighter, with smaller external dimensions and have less volume around the pistons and brake pads, enabling a more direct response. The Stylema calipers also cool rapidly, thanks to increased airflow around the brake pads, pistons and an opening that allows air to exit from the central bridge.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The lightweight 17” wheels are equipped with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires, front and rear.

Kawasaki created a supercharged engine with high output, yet manageable power delivery. The water-cooled DOHC 4-valve parallel 4-cylinder 998cc supercharged engine of the Z H2 SE is tuned to showcase high-performance throughout the rpm range. Its broad powerband creates optimal low-mid range torque for light handling and all-out supercharged performance on the top end. Smooth acceleration in the low to mid rpm range was achieved by shortening the second reduction ratio and optimizing the valve timing. In the chamberless exhaust system, an increase in the manifold assembly’s tube length further improves the output in the low to mid-rpm range output. Where torque is more apparent, in the low to mid-rpm range, the supercharged engine emphasizes easy-to-handle throttle response and smooth acceleration, while in the high-rpm range as the speed increases, the power from the supercharged engine is brought to the forefront. The Z H2 SE also features a ram air intake. The air duct provides a clean path for air flowing linearly from the ram air intake to the supercharged engine, contributing to higher performance.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The street specific Z H2 SE supercharger design and tuning were developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI), showcasing the in-house knowledge of forced induction engine performance. The supercharger’s high efficiency and minimal heat gain meant an intercooler was unnecessary, allowing savings in both weight and space. The supercharger is located centrally in the best position to distribute the compressed air to all four cylinders evenly.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The supercharger is driven by a planetary gear train, which runs off the crankshaft. The gear train increases the impeller speed up to 9.2x the crank speed (1.15x step gear with an 8x planetary gear).</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/kawasaki-z-h2-se-21-05.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Transmission</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Z H2 SE uses a dog-ring transmission that has been developed through feedback from the Kawasaki Racing Team and utilizes optimal gear ratios for street performance. Rather than shifting the gears into place, the gears in this configuration stay in place, with the lightweight dog-rings moving to engage the gears. This design allows the shifting effort to be lighter and shorter for quicker acceleration.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Assist & Slipper Clutch</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Complementing the transmission is an Assist & Slipper clutch, race-inspired technology that offers both a back-torque limiting function as well as a light feel at the lever.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Assist function is noticed by the lighter pull at the clutch lever, helping to reduce rider fatigue, especially in stop and go traffic situations.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Slipper function is noticed when excessive engine braking occurs as a result of quick or accidental downshifts. The slipper cam comes into play, forcing the clutch hub and operating plate apart, which relieves pressure on the clutch plates to reduce back-torque and help prevent the rear tire from hopping and skidding.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><img border="0" class="c006" src="https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery_A-L_16/kawasaki-z-h2-se-21-07.jpg" style="break-inside: avoid-column; display: block; height: auto; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-inline: 0px; max-height: 50%; max-width: 100%;" /></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><b style="background-color: white; margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;">Chassis</b></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">A specially designed, lightweight trellis frame delivers both light handling and excellent composure. The chassis offers excellent maneuverability while harnessing the massive supercharged power of the Z H2 SE engine. The compact naked model frame has a high-level of balance between flexibility and toughness so that you can ride on a variety of roads.</span></p><p style="hyphens: manual; line-height: 29.184px; margin-block: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The high-tensile steel frame utilizes wheelbase and caster angle dimensions that showcase the light, sporty handling unique to the Z H2 SE.

Lightweight design aids in fast engine response and reduced weight. During the forging process, the aluminum is heated to the point where it can be shaped under pressure in a die but not to the point that it melts. By not melting the aluminum, the material stays stronger and hence can be lighter with excellent durability.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- Direct plated cylinders are a "liner less- design with a ceramic coating sprayed directly on the aluminum block. This coating enhances the thin film of oil between the cylinder and pistons which reduces friction and increases power. Other important benefits include; excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced weight since there are no heavy liners.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- The cylinder is "offset- (5 mm to the exhaust side) relative to the crankshaft to reduce frictional losses between the pistons and the cylinder wall during the power stroke.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- One-piece cylinder and upper crankcase assembly provides superior engine rigidity and reduces weight. The engine is a stressed member, so it also increases chassis rigidity as well.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- Lightweight, hollow intake and exhaust camshafts are designed to provide strong low and midrange power and torque, in the most commonly used speed ranges.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- Mechanical "half nut- cam chain tensioner reduces mechanical engine noise and maintenance. This special design is a world's first for Yamaha and better controls the flexing of the tensioner spring. The benefits include fewer parts and a lighter, more compact design.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- Mikuni, 41mm, throttle body fuel injection system utilizes a throttle position sensor (TPS) and an acceleration position sensor (APS). Yamaha's chip controlled throttle (YCC-T) and D-Modes systems are also used. The injectors feature 12 holes and 20 degree spray pattern. The injectors are located such that the fuel is sprayed directly at the intake valve.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- This is a closed loop fuel injection system, with an oxygen sensor that monitors the amount of oxygen in the spent exhaust gases and adjusts the fuel -air mixture via the ECU and FI system for maximum performance with minimum emissions. The benefits of fuel injection include choke-free starting, steady idling during warm up, excellent fuel economy, and reduced emissions. The system has been "tuned- to provide excellent "ride ability- with "linear- throttle control.<br style="margin-block: 0px; margin-inline: 0px;" />- Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) system electronically controls the throttle valves for outstanding response and improved controllability at all rpms. The YCC-T is used to provide optimum control of the intake air volume for a smoother torque character.

The EQC is a compact SUV that seats five, and it shares much of its body structure with the gas-powered GLC-class. Its fully electric powertrain delivers quiet performance, along with the crisp acceleration that's part of the package with many luxury EVs. Its cabin looks appropriately deluxe, with high-gloss plastics, attractive textiles, and modern design. Though final EPA figures haven't been announced, early estimates place this SUV's driving range at around 200 miles, which is shorter than that of its Tesla-badged competition. Overall, the EQC's blend of Mercedes-Benz opulence and eco-friendly electrification make it an attractive pick for green-minded luxury-SUV buyers.</span></h2></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h2><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><h2 style="text-align: left;">Engine, Transmission, and Performance</h2></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"><div style="text-align: left;">The EQC pairs two electric motors with a lithium-ion battery. A one-speed direct-drive transmission sends power to all four wheels. This powertrain provides a total output of 402 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. We haven't tested the EQC, but Mercedes-Benz estimates that it will make the sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. That puts it behind its key rival in this segment, the Tesla Model X. Tesla claims a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds for the Long Range model and 2.7 seconds for the high-performance variant with Ludicrous mode engaged. As is the case with many vehicles that bear the Mercedes-Benz badge, the EQC does a masterful job of balancing athleticism with comfort. It delivers a smooth ride on rough road surfaces. At the same time, its handling is sharp enough to make things entertaining on daily commutes</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><h2 style="text-align: left;">Range, Charging, and Battery Life</h2><div>The EPA hasn't announced its estimates regarding the EQC's driving range, but we expect this figure to land at 200 miles or less. That puts it well behind the Tesla Model X, which can travel for more than 300 miles on a single charge. When charging at home, Mercedes claims that the EQC recharges from 10 percent to 100 percent in 10 hours. With the standard DC fast-charger in use, going from a 10-percent charge to an 80-percent charge takes 40 minutes.</div><div><br /></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG</h2><div>Mercedes-Benz hasn't released mileage estimates for the EQC. We're expecting these figures to come in at around 80/70 MPGe city/highway</div></div><div><br /></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Infotainment and Connectivity</h2><div>As you'd expect, the EQC comes with an up-to-date selection of tech features. SiriusXM satellite radio and a Burmester sound system are standard. The cabin is home to two 10.25-inch screens; there is one for the instrument cluster, and one for the infotainment system. Combined, they help give the cabin a contemporary look. The infotainment system is governed by a touchpad that replaces the central control knob seen in older versions of this technology. We're not fans of the touchpad due to how difficult it is to accurately input your commands. Fortunately, the EQC offers redundant touchscreen capability.</div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><br />Safety and Driver-Assistance Features</h2><div>The 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQC hasn't received an overall crash-test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). However, Mercedes-Benz has equipped this SUV with driver-assistance technology that can help prevent accidents from occurring. Key safety features include:</div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li> Available blind-spot monitoring</li><li> Available lane-keeping assistance</li><li> Available adaptive cruise control</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Warranty and Maintenance Coverage</h2><div>Mercedes-Benz offers a reasonably competitive warranty. Still, you'll get longer coverage from Jaguar.</div><div><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li> Limited warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles</li><li> Powertrain warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles</li><li> Hybrid components are covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles</li><li> No complimentary scheduled maintenance</li></ul><div><br /></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf42UE8Ot3s-8R93_pk021ktFU8Y2rs7UIpaTNSgd5nBSNQcTUONCcmRTidblfF6MPnhEbZ7R1jPFVnl-FIYylwk_nD0WdDIyyvCp_h_lHc4hop1r0UpdOReUiCotnb0PHHOALT8S5Mnk/s1959/19c0334_072.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="1959" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf42UE8Ot3s-8R93_pk021ktFU8Y2rs7UIpaTNSgd5nBSNQcTUONCcmRTidblfF6MPnhEbZ7R1jPFVnl-FIYylwk_nD0WdDIyyvCp_h_lHc4hop1r0UpdOReUiCotnb0PHHOALT8S5Mnk/w640-h360/19c0334_072.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRfqdIn3Cd_A_DiJsic52tHOWSpOTymsY0FwJeHIj8-Rt5d0b3d1f9h7fOb3bJBI2QjGypRFc8sE_14QF6WcGcNmbRhjW6S0muEpNpVOPbKUOmuVsu5oCC52bt5idZDRqrLNN7XTFcQys/s1959/19c0338_107.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="1959" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRfqdIn3Cd_A_DiJsic52tHOWSpOTymsY0FwJeHIj8-Rt5d0b3d1f9h7fOb3bJBI2QjGypRFc8sE_14QF6WcGcNmbRhjW6S0muEpNpVOPbKUOmuVsu5oCC52bt5idZDRqrLNN7XTFcQys/w640-h360/19c0338_107.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjV3zXLYiDeTtgkLq1lI0hsoO5Xhhi-BYpb7tcgFUWLJ1HmQWvSOyH9O7EcyHvgm1xas3WUo5gSqpryClg6WwIkJmkvl9daMHw4pcdOsdun_ora4bxcleHoiXGBchrl3T8RzZSHY-Mj30/s1200/2020-mercedes-benz-eqc-4-1547234221.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="677" data-original-width="1200" height="361" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjV3zXLYiDeTtgkLq1lI0hsoO5Xhhi-BYpb7tcgFUWLJ1HmQWvSOyH9O7EcyHvgm1xas3WUo5gSqpryClg6WwIkJmkvl9daMHw4pcdOsdun_ora4bxcleHoiXGBchrl3T8RzZSHY-Mj30/w640-h361/2020-mercedes-benz-eqc-4-1547234221.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2u078CnoVuo" width="537" youtube-src-id="2u078CnoVuo"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hGT5ziMDJkw" width="519" youtube-src-id="hGT5ziMDJkw"></iframe></div><br /><div><br /></div></div></span></div>ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03883656062758792381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922941846253825841.post-28784734197805104582018-02-10T11:51:00.001-08:002020-12-25T14:15:18.460-08:00Yamaha YZF-R6 2017<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Aerodynamic MotoGP® styling wraps up an incredibly intelligent racing machine, complete with ABS brakes, top-shelf suspension and a full suite of electronic rider aids.</li>
<li style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 9px 20px; padding: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Unparalleled Racetrack Success</b><br />The Yamaha YZF-R6 has won more AMA middleweight races and championships than any other 600cc sportbike, making it the number one choice for amateur and professional racers alike.</li>
<li style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 9px 20px; padding: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Legendary R6 Handling</b><br />The R6 combines superior mass centralization with highly-developed suspension and refined ergonomics to become one of the most nimble machines in the supersport class. The result is awesome road feedback, traction feel, and greater cornering confidence.</li>
<li style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 9px 20px; padding: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Thrilling Power and Control</b><br />With a class-leading, high-revving four-cylinder powerplant at its heart, and traction control and D-Modes allowing the rider to extract even more performance from the potent engine, the R6 screams across the start/finish line ahead of the pack.</li>

Sixteen titanium valves, a high 13.1:1 compression ratio and lightweight forged pistons allow for smooth, high-revving power. Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores provide excellent heat dissipation and reduced friction. Magnesium engine covers minimize engine weight.</li>
<li style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 9px 20px; padding: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Race-Tested Variable Intake System</b><br />The YZF-R6 features Yamaha’s Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I®)—which electronically changes the effective intake tract length to give the benefits of both shorter and taller intake stacks in a single engine—for a broader, more tractable powerband. The twin injector intake system also uses shower-style fuel injectors above the intakes to provide optimum fuel atomization at high rpm.</li>
<li style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 9px 20px; padding: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Compact 6-Speed Transmission</b><br />A close-ratio six-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration to suit the engine output, and is designed to be very compact. The crankshaft, input and output shafts are “stacked” in a triangular layout to centralize mass and keep the engine shorter front- to-back, which allows optimized engine placement in the frame for outstanding handling.</li>
<li style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 9px 20px; padding: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Racing-Derived Slipper Clutch</b><br />Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch reduces engine braking effects and eases aggressive downshifting from high speed.</li>
<li style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; list-style-type: disc; margin: 9px 20px; padding: 0px;"><b style="-webkit-margin-after: 0px; -webkit-margin-before: 0px; -webkit-margin-end: 0px; -webkit-margin-start: 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Compact Titanium Exhaust</b><br />The midship titanium muffler contributes to mass centralization and contains EXUP®—Yamaha’s Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve—for a broad powerband, along with an oxygen sensor for spot-on fuel injection and clean-running emissions.</li>

<b>2015 Yamaha YZF-R1M Features and Benefits</b><br /><br />/// Engine<br />• All new, ultra-lightweight, compact, 998cc, DOHC, 16-valve (4-valves / cyl.), liquid-cooled, in-line four-cylinder engine with "cross plane" style crankshaft.<br />• The key components of this cutting edge engine design are the "cross plane" crankshaft and an uneven firing order. Both of these features are used on Yamaha's race winning M1 MotoGP racer. The R1 cross plane crankshaft locates the center two rods at a 90 degree plane from the outer cylinders. This means instead of the crank pins aligned on the same plane (a straight line drawn through the center of the crankshaft), they align on 2 planes in the form of a cross... or "cross plane". Working in conjunction with the cross plane crank is an uneven firing order. This R1 engine fires 1,3,2,4 cylinders and the firing intervals are uneven at 270 / 180/ 90 /180 degrees. What all this means to the rider is the most linear torque possible and amazing throttle control. This engine design allows a whole new level of rider - machine communication. One of the most important benefits is the outstanding cornering performance that increased engine control allows.<br />• The key engineering goal for the new R1 is increased power with excellent controllability. Horsepower increases have gained through increased intake air volume, reduced internal friction and weight reductions. The new R1 is a "rider's machine".<br />• New, 4-valve cylinder head design features new compact pent roof combustion chambers that utilize lightweight titanium valves on the intake side. The 4-valve design optimizes breathing efficiency and overall engine performance. Combustion chamber volume is carefully monitored to ensure exact volume for maximum power.<br />• New, larger valves for 2015. Titanium intake valves are 33mm in diameter ('14 = 31mm) while the steel exhaust valves are 26.5 mm in diameter ('14 = 25mm). The lightweight titanium intake valves reduce the reciprocating weight of the intake valves allowing for higher rpms without the concern of valve float.<br />• New intake port shape provides maximum filling efficiency. The port shape, valve placement and combustion chamber shape induce a tumbling effect of the inbound fuel - air charge that increases combustion speed, power and torque.<br />• 13:1 compression ratio<br />• All new "finger follower rocker arms" are used. This system reduces friction allows greater valve lift and provides super accurate control of valve opening and closing at high rpms. The sliding area of the rocker arms feature a DLC (diamond like coating) to reduce friction and wear. Valve adjustment pads sit under the rocker arms<br />• Valve adjustment intervals are every 40,000 kms.<br />• Newly designed high performance intake & exhaust cams work in conjunction with the new finger follower rocker arm system.<br />• New design, lightweight, closed deck aluminum cylinder features a ceramic coating applied directly to the liner-less aluminum block to ensure uniform heat dissipation reduced friction and reduced weight. Closed deck design allows the cylinders to be spaced more closely together, providing a narrower engine. Cylinder is a stand-alone design (not integrated into the upper crank case).<br />• Offset cylinder / crank design offsets the cylinder block relative to the crankshaft (to the exhaust side) to reduce frictional losses between the pistons and the cylinder wall during the power stroke for improved power output.<br />• All new, short skirt, forged aluminum pistons offer lightweight, fast throttle response and great reliability. The piston features a box shaped "bridge box " on the underside for increased rigidity and a special Deflic coating to further reduce frictional losses. Ring expansion tension is optimized to reduce friction.<br />• New piston oil coolers spray oil at the underside of the piston to reduce piston temperatures.<br />• New, narrower Cross plane crankshaft design. Crankshaft is over 25 mm (1") narrower than the '14 version. Crank inertial moment has been engineered to achieve linear throttle response, strong acceleration and excellent cornering exit control. To achieve excellence response when accelerating, the inertial moment of the crankshaft has been set at a level approximately 20% less than the '14 YZF-R1.<br />• All new, super light, fracture split titanium connecting rods feature a nutless design. The lower end "cap" of the rod is made from the same piece of material as the upper portion and is cracked away in a process known as "fracture splitting". This process ensures true big end roundness and greater precision in con rod dimensions. Lightweight design (60% lighter than a conventional steel con rod) reduces horsepower losses and provides faster throttle response. These fracture split "Ti" rods are a world's first to be used on a production motorcycle.<br />• New single axis balancer shaft is used to reduce engine vibration.<br />• Compact ACM (alternator) is mounted directly to the crankshaft. The compact ACM uses rare earth magnets which produce more power for a given size than conventional magnets, therefore reducing size and weight.<br />• Newly designed, Mikuni fuel injection system features twin injectors (one set of primary & one set of secondary injectors). This twin injector system is also used on our M1 MotoGP race bike and the R6. One set of injectors (primary) are located in the 45mm throttle bodies while the secondary injectors are located in the air box very near the computer controlled intake funnels. The primary injectors utilize 12-holes to maximize the fuel atomization process. The secondary injectors, located inside the air box, begin to function at mid rpms onwards to supply more fuel as required and also use 12-hole injectors.<br />• Dual oxygen sensors (located just before the muffler box) make this a "closed loop" type FI system, which feeds back info to the ECU so adjustments can be constantly made to the fuel-air mixture for improved performance and reduced emissions.<br />• The benefits of fuel injection include excellent throttle response, good fuel economy, reduced emissions, stable idling and no choke start up.<br />• YCC-T: Yamaha Chip Control Throttle electronically controls the throttle valves for outstanding response and improved throttle control at all rpms. The YCC-T is used to provide super precise control of the intake air volume for smoother torque character.<br />• YCC-I: Yamaha's Chip Controlled Intake means the intake funnels / stacks vary in length (2 positions) depending on engine rpm. An electronic servo motor varies the funnel length from the tall position at low to mid rpms to the shorter setting for improved high rpm power. The revolutionary YCC-I provides the best of both worlds ... solid low rpm torque and power combined with an amazing high rpm rush. It takes only 0.3 of a second for the funnels to move from the tall to the short position.<br />• Maintenance-free transistor controlled ignition (TCI) provides a hot spark for sure starts and strong engine performance.<br />• New design, compact 6-speed transmission features optimized gear ratios for maximum performance. The "stacked" 3-axis gearbox / clutch design centralizes mass and keeps overall engine size shorter front to back. The stacked design gives the engineers the freedom to place the engine in the "sweet spot" of the frame for optimum weight balance for awesome handling.<br />• New, more compact multi-plate and assist clutch assembly (back limiter clutch) reduces rear wheel hop when making down shifts under hard braking. Key benefit is reduced lap times and smoother control. New clutch design is 19% lighter and 7% smaller in diameter than the '14 model.<br />• "Ram Air" system force feeds outside air via a duct located between the new LED headlights into the intake system, pressurizing the air box and improving intake efficiency at higher speeds. As speed increases, the air velocity in the system increases and pressurizes the air box, helping the engine develop maximum power.<br />• New, larger computer optimized large capacity 10.5 litre air box maximizes performance. New M1 inspired intake duct with solenoid valve reduces intake noise and improves high rpm power. A viscous type, high flow air filter is utilized.<br />• All new, mid ship design 4 into 2 into 1 exhaust system features lightweight titanium header pipes and muffler. This new design maximizes power, reduces weight, centralizes mass and lowers the centre of gravity for fast, light, agile handling. This system also contains dual 3-way honeycomb catalyzers which reduce harmful CO and HC exhaust emissions.<br />• New exhaust valve device is located in the under engine chamber and it features two separate exhaust flow routes depending on rpm. By controlling the exhaust routing in selected rpm ranges, it has been possible to build a compact muffler that achieves both outstanding power output and torque characteristics while still providing sufficient silencing performance.<br />• Yamaha's EXUP System (Yamaha's Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve) controls the exhaust pressure waves for optimum intake and exhaust efficiency. It also helps prevent the "blow back" phenomenon caused by valve overlap and helps reduces "flat spots" in the power band while reducing emissions at the same time.<br />• New, high-efficiency curved radiator features dual ring-type fans for maximum cooling. This curved rad design provides more airflow than conventional flat rad designs.<br />• New, air-cooled oil cooler sits below the main rad to maintain stable lubricant temperatures.<br />• Water pump is located on the outside of the crankcase to reduce crankcase width.<br />• Optimized wet sump lubrication system features new oil routing to the big end rod bearings.<br />• New, lightweight, deep bottom magnesium oil pan.<br />• Convenient spin-on type oil filter.<br />• New lightweight magnesium cylinder head cover and crankcase covers secured by new lightweight aluminum bolts.<br />• High performance direct ignition coils (ignition coil is built into the spark plug cap) reduce weight while iridium spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver increased spark energy.</div>

<br />/// ELECTRONIC RIDER AIDS... YRC<br />Many of the following rider assist aids are derived from Yamaha's MotoGP race efforts and help make the new R1 more controllable and more enjoyable to ride. We call them Yamaha Ride Control or YRC.</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
• At the heart of the Yamaha Ride Control electronic rider assist aids are the IMU or Inertial Measurement Unit and ECU or Electronic Control Unit. The IMU detects three directions of acceleration and angular velocity (total of six directions). Additionally the IMU detects primary position by the G sensor when the ignition switch is turned on. The IMU calculates each signal and finds the vehicle position and behavior (lean angle, slide speed, pitching rate, etc.), and then in conjunction with the ECU it uses this information to control each system.<br />• PWR: Power Delivery Mode is Yamaha's variable throttle control that enables the rider to adjust the performance characteristics of the engine. There are 4-power settings available from an enhanced race setting to a slippery condition setting with softer power characteristics.<br />• TCS: Traction control system with lean angle sensor features 9 adjustment settings plus an off setting for a total of 10 settings. The system uses front and rear wheel sensors to detect slip and then adjusts / regulates power via the ECU / IMU to control rear wheel traction. In addition to detecting difference in speed between the front and rear wheels, this new system uses input on the degree of bank / lean angle to adjust the degree of TCS intervention to an optimum level in relation to the riding conditions in real-time. As the banking angle increases, the amount of TCS intervention also increases. When the TCS is off, SCS, LIF and LCS systems will automatically shut off as well.<br />• SCS: Slide Control System controls engine power when side slip is detected. It adjusts power output to an optimum level to control side slide or slip. There are 3 settings plus off.<br />• LIF: Lift Control System (a.k.a. anti-wheelie control) reduces time loss due to wheelies during closed course competition. This system reduces front end lift during starts and acceleration. When the IMU and other sensors detect lift, engine output is adjusted to the optimum level to maintain string acceleration without lift. There are 2 settings plus off.<br />• LCS: Launch Control System is adopted to help ensure fast, strong, controllable starts in closed course competition situations. When the LCS is activated, it keeps engine rpm limited to approx. 10,000 rpm and maintains an optimum level of engine power in conjunction with inputs from the TCS and LIF systems, allowing the rider to concentrate on clutch engagement and the other competitors, reducing stress associated with race starts.<br />• QSS: Quick Shift System provides smooth, fast upshifts even at full throttle. When the switch on the shift lever rod detects motion, it adjusts engine output and momentarily cancels out the drive torque to promote faster gear shifts. There are 2 settings plus off.<br />• CCU: Communication Control Unit is a standard feature of the R1M; it will be sold as an accessory for base model. The CCU monitors / records various forms of machine information and simplifies set-up of the instrument panel's function as a rider-machine "interface." Comprised of the CCU and a GPS receiver, running data can be recorded via a data logger, and with the GPS function, the system also enables automatic lap time recording on race circuits. This data can help racers / track day enthusiasts to improve their riding skills and lap times. By downloading an "app" for an Android or iOS based smartphones, it is also possible to create set-up data on your smartphone. Setting data can then be downloaded into the R1M via a Wi-Fi connection.<br />• SCU: Suspension Control Unit controls the electronic adjustments (front & rear) to the Ohlin's "Electronic Racing Suspension", available only on the R1M.</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />/// Chassis/Suspension<br />• All new Aluminum Deltabox frame has been designed to offer an optimized rigidity balance to maximize handling performance. This frame offers light weight and a balance of strength, rigidity and tuned flex. This is a gravity cast frame. The engine is stressed member with rigid mounts. The chassis is designed for optimized overall rigidity balance in the longitudinal, lateral and torsional directions. The result is excellent high-speed stability, cornering characteristics, traction / drive characteristics exiting a corner and greater freedom in choosing a line to run through a turn. The frame design is left-right<br />asymmetrical. • Detachable magnesium cast rear subframe reduces weight. The detachable design allows rear shock access and is less costly to repair if accidentally damaged.<br />• Lightweight aluminum "upward truss-type" swingarm provides great torsional rigidity for excellent rear wheel traction and control. Swingarm length is 570mm, 15 mm shorter than the '14 model and provides excellent control of the effects of chain tensioning during hard acceleration. The swingarm features a buffed and clear coated raw aluminum finish.<br />• Wheel base is a compact 1,405mm (55.3"), 10mm shorter than the '14 version<br />• New, electronically adjustable Ohlins "Electronic Racing Suspension". The use of "ERS" further enhances the performance potential of the R1M for circuit use. Taking data from the IMU and the various sensors, the system's Suspension Control Unit (SCU) makes integrated adjustments of both the front and rear suspensions' compression stroke and rebound damping based on riding conditions. The SCU calculates the ideal damping for the front and rear suspensions. This ERS has a choice of "Automatic" and "Manual" modes. Within each of these modes there is also a selection of 3 - running modes to make a total of six different settings to fit rider preferences or track conditions. Two of the running modes in the "Automatic" mode have fine adjustment functions for damping force. It is possible to adjust compression stroke and rebound stroke damping independently on both the front and rear suspensions. Front & rear wheel travel is 120mm (4.7").<br />• New electric steering damper<br />• All new, radial mount, 4-piston monoblock calipers with aluminum pistons squeeze fully floating 320mm dual front rotors. The result is incredible braking performance with excellent control and lever feedback. Other features include; Nissin radial master cylinder, stainless steel brake lines and new front brake lever.<br />• Single piston slide-type Nissin rear caliper with aluminum piston squeezes a lightweight 220mm rotor.<br />• Both front and rear brakes are linked via Yamaha's Unified Braking System (UBS) and feature our latest anti-lock brake (ABS) technology.<br />• All new, lightweight, die cast magnesium 10-spoke mag wheels. These wheels save over 1 kg of weight Vs last year's model and contribute to excellent suspension and handling performance. They feature a smooth exterior finish without centre ribs and an electrostatic paint process. Front rim size is MT3.50 x 17 while the rear is MT6.00 x17. The R1M features a 200/55ZR71 rear tire.<br />• New, lightweight 17 litre aluminum fuel tank features a buffed and clear coated raw aluminum finish. Elongated shape helps to centralize mass and reduces the variance in riding feel as the fuel load (weight) changes. This new tank is 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs.) lighter than last year's model.<br />• New, super light, trick carbon fiber body work including front fender and fairing. The wind tunnel designed windshield offers excellent aerodynamics and features a "screw less" design for a cleaner, more trick appearance. Air resistance has been reduced by 8% compared to the '14 model.<br />• New LED headlights and high intensity LED position lights create a "face" never seen before on a motorcycle and provide a very stylish and unique look to the new R1.<br />• Fully digital instrument panel with TFT liquid crystal display. The instrument panel offers a striking rider-machine "interface." Displays have been concentrated into a single 4.2-inch screen that adopts a fully transmissive Thin Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display that reduces reflections and glare. White or black backgrounds can be selected and it features auto brightness adjustment based on available ambient light. Two modes are available; street and track. Street functions include; speedo, bar style tach, odometer, dual tripmeters, gear position, intake air temp, coolant temp, instant & average fuel efficiency, clock, fuel consumed, peak rpm , and YRC setting info. In the track mode functions include; bar style tach (starts at 8,000 rpm), lap number, lap timer, stop watch, gear position, speed and YRC setting info.</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />/// Additional Features<br />• Immobilizer ignition system is designed to reduce the possibility of "ride away" theft. This system must recognize the "coded ignition key" in order for the unit to start. If the system does not recognize the coded chip in the ignition key, it will not allow the ignition system, fuel pump or starter motor to function.<br />• LED front turn signals integrated into mirrors.<br />• LED rear turn signals and LED tail light<br />• New 25mm hollow front axle<br />• Extensive use of hollow bolts and lightweight fasteners help trim overall weight.<br />• Lightweight 520 series "O" ring drive chain.<br />• Low maintenance, lightweight, sealed battery.</div>

<img height="466.2109375" src="http://images.thecarconnection.com/lrg/2015-audi-tt_100461451_l.jpg" width="700" /><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">Audi has just </span><span style="font-size: large;">revealed its third-generation TT</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">, which arrives on these shores early next year, as a 2016 model. However, if you want to get behind the wheel of a new TT today, Audi is sweetening the deal for buyers of the current model with some special offers for the 2015 model year.\</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">The main attraction is the </span>TTS Competition Package<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">, which was revealed last year as part of Audi’s celebration of the production of its 500,000th TT sports car. Among the special features are unique Imola Yellow or Nimbus Gray paint schemes, a fixed rear spoiler, five-spoke wheels, and leather trim with accent stitching that matches the exterior color.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">There are no powertrain updates for 2015, which means the base TT sticks with its 2.0-liter TFSI turbocharged and direct-injected four cylinder engine, good for 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The TTS model gets the same engine but with 265 hp and 258 lb-ft available. Understandably, it’s the quicker of the two, needing just 4.9 seconds to sprint to 60 mph. The TTS Roadster will do the same in 5.1 seconds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">Standard across the range is quattro all-wheel drive and a six-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission. Opt for the TTS and you also get magnetic ride suspension as standard.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">Standard items in the cabin include front heated seats for the first time, as well as a 12-speaker Bose stereo. New options include an exterior carbon package and a Navigation package that adds a nav system, MMI controller and parking sensors.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">Imagine, a vehicle that drives like a car, but balances itself on two wheels. Too late--LIT Motors already did it, back in 2012</span><img height="390.33203125" src="http://images.thecarconnection.com/lrg/lit-motors-c1_100461109_l.jpg" width="700" /><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">As this BBC video demonstrates, the all-electric </span><a href="http://litmotors.com/c1/" style="background-color: white; color: #357790; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;">LIT Motors C1</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;"> electric motorcycle is an amazing feat of engineering. Using gyroscopes and electric motors to keep its balance, the C1 really can't be knocked down--even when it's being tugged by an SUV.</span><img height="456.640625" src="http://images.thecarconnection.com/lrg/lit-motors-c1_100461112_l.jpg" width="700" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">On top of all of that, the C1 promises up to 200 miles of all-electric range, seating for two, 0-60 mph acceleration in less than 6 seconds, and a mere 800-pound curb weight. It's only 40" wide, so, in theory at least, it can split lanes and filter through traffic, skipping right past jams--but without exposing you to the rain, wind, or other inclement weather.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">So what has happened with the C1 since 2012? It's still in development, with the first examples slated for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2014. According to the latest updates from the company, an all-new prototype is currently under construction,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Crimson Text', Arial, Helvetica, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">Want to get in on the deal yourself? You can reserve one for as little as $250 for one of the first 10,000 C1s built--but you'll have to get in line, as the first 370 are already reserved. You can get a spot among the first 2,000 deliveries for $500. The full price of the C1? About $24,000, according to LIT Motors</span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Volvo have released Polestar Racing versions of their S60 and V60 production cars — capable of doing 0-60mph in just 4.9 seconds with a top speed of 155mph.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The limited edition models, also based on the Swedish firm’s C30 and S60 concept cars, feature a six-cylinder turbocharged T6 engine which can pump out 350hp at 5,700rpm and 369 lb ft of torque.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
They still look like a normal four-door sedan and estate, but as well as stonking performance they feature a new rear spoiler, high-performance Öhlins shock absorbers, automatic gearbox with paddle shifters, front Polestar/Brembo six piston brake calipers, plus twin 3.5ins tail pipes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The cars will initially be sold in the US, Canada, the Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom. But it’s expected the production will be rolled out to other markets later in 2014.</div>

Full production numbers and fuel efficiency figures are yet to be released.</div>

Christian Dahl, CEO of Polestar, Volvo’s racing division, said: “This is a car developed for those who share our passion at Polestar: That driving really matters and that a true driver’s car should enable you to enjoy driving all year, on all roads and in all weather conditions. This is a driver’s car for real life.”</div>

Volvo Motorsport Director Derek Crabb said: “It is rewarding to see how Polestar can use their experiences from motorsport to engineer such an exciting and competent car.”</div>

The Aston Martin DB5 is perhaps the most iconic of Aston’s cars, featuring as James Bond’s gadget laden car in Goldfinger.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The Veyron, officially <a href="http://www.autosaur.com/fastest-car-in-the-world/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7dc246; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out;">the fastest car in the world</a>, was always designed to have a limited production run of 450.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
All coupe versions of the car have now been sold to customers, and the remaining 50 are all roadsters.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; float: none; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 10px 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The 400th Veyron was a Grand Sport Vitesse “Jean-Pierre Wimille” and was bought by a customer in the Middle East for $3.15million.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The Jean-Pierre Wimille is part of a six-edition series of the cars made as a tribute to Les Legendes de Bugatti (The Legends of Bugatti). The firm has created just three of each special edition Veyron.</div>

They are all based on the 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, which can do 0-62mph in just 2.6 seconds. The roadster has a top speed of 254mph, while the 16.4 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport holds the official record for the fastest car in the world with a top speed of 267mph.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
A stretched version of the E-Type Jaguar has been unveiled following a restoration project — which also saw it get a matching <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">TRAILER</span>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The 1968 left-hand drive series 1 4.2 roadster was lengthened to give improved legroom, while the trailer was built by joining two E-Type rear ends together.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The modifications were at the request of American owner Paul Branstad, who wanted them so he can use the car to tour the US.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">

<span style="text-align: left;">Boss Nick Goldthorp said: “It is phenomenal to drive. This is the E-Type that Jaguar Cars should have built. The extra space makes all the difference and actually alters the whole attitude of the car. This is something that we have never done before. Our client wanted the interior leg room of a Series 3 V12 E-Type but the aesthetics of a Series 1 car.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
The car was lengthened by four and a half inches, while the roof line was also raised by 1.25inches and the trunk lowered and reshaped to fit in a 20 gallon gas tank.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Owner Mr Brandstad has named the car the Kaizen E-Type, a reference to the Japanese word Kaizen which is one of Toyota’s founding principles and means to “understand the imperative to make continuous improvements for the best”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
He said: ”The stretched E-Type sits between the Series I and the subsequent vehicles produced after the merger and formation of British Leyland, when the design of the cars underwent several transformations as a consequence of cuts in production costs and the need for more space that resulted in the Series 2 2+2 and Series 3 V12.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
“With nine inches more wheelbase, the 2+2 was too long to be beautiful, but the four and a half inches added to the Kaizen E-Type could make the car even more beautiful than the original Series 1 edition.”</div>

What are the best gas mileage cars?</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 2.6rem; padding: 0px;">
Fuel-efficient vehicles are a growing trend as gas prices around the world continue to rise. The best gas mileage cars help save you substantial amounts of money at the gas pump, and also help foster a healthier environment by cutting down on pollution. Although electric, plug-in hybrid and alternative-fuel cars are gaining in popularity, gasoline-engined cars are still by far the most used cars on the road today. This list therefore excludes electric cars and plug-in hybrids, and looks exclusively at gas-powered vehicles and normal hybrid vehicles (ones that you don’t have to plug in to charge up). The list covers the top ten fuel-efficient cars in the world today, counting down to number one. All the gas mileage ratings are based on figures from the US Environmental Protection Agency.</div>

The 2014 Prius is the best-selling, most technologically advanced and fuel-efficient hybrid. It offers owners three driving modes: Completely electric mode; ECO (which manages throttle input and climate control); and POWER (which adds revving power) experience. The Prius contains plenty of cargo space, and has a rear-view camera and lane departure system, a parking assist system, and keyless, illuminated entry. It is available in seven different colors, and comes with soft faux leather, heated front seats with lumbar support, a USB port, Bluetooth phone system, solar moon roof, Entune audio system, and a 6.1in display panel. From 2014 going forward, Toyota is planning to make all Prius vehicles plug-in cars, which means owners will be able to recharge their batteries using electricity from the grid. This is being done to improve the Prius’s fuel economy and to make them more cost effective to drivers.</div>
