DUCATI STREETFIGHTER 848

2011-12-28T23:37:00.000-08:00

Welcoming the new member on the Streetfighter family as we unveiled the Ducati Streetfighter 848 after the photos with little details on it. By releasing the 2012 Streetfighter 848, Ducati is aiming for riders who are in searching for street bike with more usability and at the same time can ride with confidence. Who needs confidence if you riding one of Ducati state-of-the-art street bikes? What is new about the 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 is that this particular bike is new and smaller displacement but still carries the high-performance bike. “Smaller”, eh? Could it be because most of Ducati’s attentions are focusing on the mysterious Paginale ?

First stop to undress the 2012 Ducati Streetfighter 848 will be the performance side. This smaller street bike comes with big attitude; big attitude here refers to the engine. Yup… the powertrain that powered the 2012 Streetfighter 848 is none other than the 849.4cc L-Twin Testasretta 11-degree. Sounds familiar? Its because that power plant has the same configuration with 848 EVO Superbike.

YAMAHA YZF-R1

2009-01-15T01:35:00.000-08:00

In the supersport liter class, there’s always lots of talk about power. You expect that. What you wouldn’t have expected – until now – is a radically superior way to deliver that power. Introducing the 2009 YZF-R1, the first ever production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP racing with the M1, puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This all but eliminates undesirable inertial crankshaft torque, which allows the engine’s compression torque to build smoothly and provide a very linear power delivery out of the corners. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline 4. In fact, the new YZF-R1 is not a continuation of existing supersport development; it is breakthrough technology that represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance.

BMW R 1200 RT-P

HONDA DN-01

It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen on two wheels. And for good reason: Honda’s stunning new DN-01 is in a class of its own—the world’s first crossover bike. Its styling and seating position alone set it completely apart, showing influence from the world of our sportbikes, sport touring machines, and cruisers. But underneath that bodywork the DN-01 is even more revolutionary, offering Honda’s radical new HFT Transmission. Yes, it’s an automatic—but an automatic unlike anything you’ve ever seen. You can shift it into six preset ratios, or you can let it function as a stepless, no-shifting Continuously Variable Transmission, or CVT. The DN-01 is a perfect choice if you’re looking to get into motorcycling, if you’re a long-time rider who wants to be on the most cutting-edge bike out there, or if you’re just looking for something completely different. This bike is going to turn heads like no other in 2009.

A machine only Honda can build

The DN-01’s extraordinary HFT transmission is, of course, one of the first things you’ll notice about this bike. But there’s much, much more. Underneath all that sculpted bodywork beats a 680cc v-twin engine with a broad powerband and plenty of torque. And the DN-01’s brakes are unique too. We’re offering a machine with Combined ABS, a system which links both front and rear brakes and includes our proven Anti-lock Brake System. The DN-01 offers a combination of features unique in the motorcycling world, and which point to the future. And that’s exactly what you’d expect when you choose a Honda.
