Yamaha Aerox scooter with R1 1000cc engine

When I saw the Yamaha aerox with R1 1000cc engine for the first time in a magazine I was like "what the f*ck" it really grabbed my eye. The crazy guy who did this maybe is really suffering from some kind of a scooter complex and just decided that he can make it outrun Ferraris and Lamborghinis. That guy really deserves a big WELL DONE and applause for the crazy Yamaha aerox 1000cc with 150 hp on the go ... The world keeps me surprised every day

2010 Honda CBR1000rrFireblade

Performance and style. No two elements are more important on a sportbike, and the Honda CBR1000RR has them both in spades. Of course, when a bike is bred on the racetracks of the world using DNA gleaned from Honda's MotoGP championship-winning machines, would you expect anything but the best? And the CBR backs it up, packing state-of-the-art features like our available Electronic Combined Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) and the revolutionary Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) that leave other literbikes on the trailer. Winning Road Racing World's “2009 1000cc Shootout” merely confirmed the CBR1000RR's supremacy, with 2010 certain to continue its legacy of class-defining power, light weight, handling and looks (checkout the three stunning colors).

The world’s first,* electronically controlled steering damper “HESD” automatically controls the damping force depending on the vehicle speed and the acceleration.

Aprilia RSV4r pure fun

Following the fantastic reception of the RSV4 Factory by the worlds motorcycling press and experienced sportsbike riders, Aprilia are pleased to announce the arrival of their latest model, the Aprilia RSV4 R.

From its launch the Aprilia RSV4 Factory instantly established itself as a truly iconic motorcycle, delivering class leading levels of performance and technology. With a race win and multiple podiums in its first WSBK year, the Noale factory demonstrated their credibility and expertise gained from winning 33 world championship titles and 271 GP wins. Now more riders than before can enjoy the same features of a bike that was designed with one goal, to be the fastest bike on track and makes a strong case for becoming sportsbike of the decade. The new Aprilia RSV R is available in White or Black and priced at £12,449 excluding OTR.

El Diablo Ducati 11981198 S and 1198 R corse

Ducati 1198
With a 1198 cc, L-twin engine producing 170hp (125 kW) and with a dry weight of just 169 kgs (372 lbs), the 2009 Ducati 1198 S incorporates more World Superbike technology than ever before by taking the 1198 motor and adding top-of-the-range suspension, lightweight chassis components and a true racing-style traction control system designed for road use.

Based on the unit found in the Ducati 1098, the Ducati 1198's engine achieves its new, larger capacity by using exactly the same 106x67.9 bore and stroke as the factory race bike. Volumetric efficiency through the four valves per cylinder has been enhanced by increasing the valve diameters approximately 4% to 43.5mm for the inlet and 35.5mm for the exhaust. They are actuated by racing-type rocker arms, 'super-finished' for reduced friction and fatigue, and double overhead camshafts with radical profiles that achieve approximately 10% more lift than their predecessors.

Ducati 1198 S
The Ducati 1198 S features high performance, fully adjustable 43mm Цhlins forks, which sport low friction titanium nitride-treated fork sliders. The rear suspension is handled by a fully adjustable Цhlins rear mono shock equipped with a ride enhancing top-out spring and mounted to a single-sided swingarm. The front and rear Цhlins suspension package is complimented with a control-enhancing adjustable steering damper.

The Ducati 1198 S features several weight saving modifications designed to reduce unsprung weight. This includes components like tires, brakes and wheels. Lighter wheels have a lower 'moment of inertia' that is beneficial with every direction change and application of the brakes. The 1198 S features new 7-spoke GP replica Marchesini forged and machined wheels. The weight saving is further enhanced with the application of a carbon fiber front wheel cover.

The Ducati 1198 S is equipped with the Ducati Data Analysis (DDA) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) systems as standard equipment. The DDA package enables the retrieval and analysis of data collected from previous track sessions or road trips. The DTC system monitors front and rear wheel speeds to detect rear wheel-spin under acceleration and electronically reduces engine power to restore traction. If you don't think you need all this software then there is always the Ducati 1198 to consider.

Ducati 1198 R  Corse

It seems the 1198/1198S are getting rave reviews, I think Ducati has another gem on their hand with this one. The new 1198S comes with the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) which is featured on the more expensive 1098R.Already the flagship of the Ducati V-twin range, the new 1198R Corse Special Edition is 1kg (2.2lb) lighter thanks to the new factory team-style fuel tank, which also increases fuel capacity by 2.5 litres (0.66 US gal) to 18 litres (4.75 US gal). Formed in 2mm thick aluminium, the tank is brush finished, clear-coated and topped off with the new Ducati Corse logo to maintain a factory race tank feel. The 1198 R Corse comes in the red, white and black Corse Special Edition livery bodywork with the new aluminium fuel tank clear-coated for all to see. And isn’t it pretty!!

Cutting edge of technology Kawasaki ZX-10R 2010

Overview

The Ninja ZX-10R truly proves itself on the racetrack, thanks to technology developed on Kawasaki race bikes. Although designed to offer maximum performance on the circuit, the same power and handling that provide such amazing on-track performance, also make it more fun for riding on the street.

The look-alike ZX-6R debuted in 2009, featured what was possibly the best sporting transmission Kawasaki has ever produced. Now the 2010 ZX-10R is being constructed on the same base technology gearbox, with some internal modifications aimed at reducing play in the shift mechanism and providing a more-precise feel at the lever. The result is smooth, effortless shifting with clean and positive gear engagement.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2009

New Engine

All-New 999cc GSX-R1000 is a clean sheet design built to maximize combustion efficiency with more torque and power across the rpm range and enhanced throttle response and reduced exhaust emissions.

As a result the distance between the crankshaft and the transmission output shaft has been reduced by 59.6mm making the engine shorter front to rear.A new integrated clutch and starter motor cover is about 200 grams lighter than the two individual covers previously used.A powerful microprocessor in the ECM runs the advanced engine management system, starting with the latest versions of the latest versions of the SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) downdraft double-barrel fuel injection system first introduced on the GSX-R1000.A Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) servo controlled butterfly valve built into the mid pipe helps maximize torque throughout the RPM range. Many people claim to remove these valves as they tend to "kill" some hp and have a noise reduction function.

New more oversquare bore and stroke which gives the engine better overall tuning potential, specifically increased performance at high rpm.The back torque limiting clutch incorporates the Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) for light clutch pull and optimum clutch performance.

KTM RC8 Akrapovic & Red Bull replica

At a dry weight of 180kg and engine weighing only 62kg, that lightweight powerplant sends 170 hp and a torque of 123 nm to the rear wheel. And the best of all is that these specifications are for the basic KTM RC8 1190 R.

The engine is Liquid cooled, four stroke, 75degree V-twin cylinder, DOHC (Double Over Head Cam, 4 valves per cylinder and the new one delivers 10 hp more.

 

 This is not an ordinary RC8 R replika like Honda's Repsol replica. It's not just the IDM Superbike ridden by Jeremy McWilliams. The KTM 1190 RC8 R Akrapovic Edition is far beyond that.

You get the best series chassis with the latest, most powerful series V2 engine. Plus, the most sophisticated racing exhaust in the Clubracing Kit: the Akrapovic Evo4, a masterpiece made from ultra-thin titanium. 7.5 kg lighter and delivers 10 hp more. The more horsepower come from the upgraded cylinder gasket, the Akrapovic racing exhaust and remapped fuel injection.
