SUZUKI HAYABUSA GSX-R 1300 (2008)

The Suzuki Hayabusa (also known as the GSX1300R in some countries) is a hyper sport motorcycle originally introduced by Suzuki in 1999. It has a 1340 cc inline-4 engine. The name Hayabusa translates directly from the Japanese as Peregrine Falcon, the bird capable of achieving speeds over 200 mph (322 km/h). The name is a subtle reference to Honda's competing Hawk models. When introduced in 1999, it overtook the Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird as the fastest production motorcycle. But in just over eight years, Suzuki's GSX1300R Hayabusa is well on its way to adding its name to the list-if not already. Introduced to a somewhat perplexed industry and public in late '98, the Hayabusa's bulbous styling and strange name generated plenty of polarized opinion.

The changes to the 2008 Hayabusa are many. Starting with its skin, the 'Busa maintains its signature silhouette but is now wrapped in slightly more angular bodywork which features twin stacked headlights up front and a slightly less bulky rear cowl. The Hayabusa's engine has been enlarged from 1,299cc to 1,340cc, and sports improvements including twin swirl combustion chambers that offer an 11% bump in output. Suzuki claims the Hayabusa produces a staggering 194 BHP at the crank. Other improvements include a new 4-2-1-2 exhaust system, a hydraulic slipper clutch, and Suzuki's Selective Drive Mode System (S-DMS), which allows engine power to be modified using a three-mode thumb selector switch. Beneath the new body, chassis refinements include a bridged aluminum alloy swingarm designed for superior rigidity, and new inverted 43mm forks to help the 'Busa turn.

The restyled body is a welcome improvement, revised ergonomics incorporate a lower fuel tank and a taller windscreen designed to create a cozier place for the rider while he or she tucks and presumably doubles or triples the speed limit. All those aesthetic and functional improvements aside, the real fun begins when you start up the engine. At idle, this smooth-running inline-4 doesn’t come close to revealing the blistering reserves of power that lie beneath.

YAMAHA V MAX (2009)

For 2009 Yamaha introduces the new VMAX which offers the very latest in advanced design and technology for an awesome acceleration feeling, combined with bodywork and styling that respects and enhances the iconic image of the original model. With its all new engine and chassis, the high-tech VMAX is ready to capture the imagination of a whole new generation of adrenaline addicts, and at the same time inspire the many thousands of loyal owners who made the original model such a huge worldwide success.

Powering the new VMAX is an all-new 1,679cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke DOHC 65 degree V4 engine which has been designed to offer better acceleration experience created by higher levels of power, and an imposing design. Running with bore x stroke dimensions of 90.0 x 66.0mm and featuring a compression ratio of 11.3:1, this visually intimidating new powerplant develops 147.2 kW (200 PS) at 9,000 rpm, along with a huge torque output of 166.8 Nm (17.0 kg-m) at 6,500 rpm.

Yamaha’s G.E.N.I.C.H. technology is an advanced engineering concept which involves the application of cutting-edge electronic control technology in order to achieve increased performance and enhancing the riding experience. The 2009 VMAX benefits from this advanced Yamaha G.E.N.I.C.H technology with features such as YCC-I(Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake) and YCC-T(Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) which are key factors in achieving the new engine’s high levels of power. This new high-tech engine is the first Yamaha V4 to be equipped with a sophisticated new fuel injection system, which, together with the YCC-I and YCC-T, ensures that the powerful 65-degree V4 engine is fully equipped to deliver previously unimaginable levels of standing-start and roll-on acceleration.

One of the major goals of the 2009 VMAX design team has been to keep the new engine’s physical dimensions as compact as possible. Despite the fact that the
all-new VMAX engine features a 40% increase in cubic capacity compared to the existing model (1,679cc vs 1,198cc), the new V4 powerplant’s overall dimensions
are remarkably compact. In order to keep the new engine’s front-to-rear length as short as possible, it adopts a 65 degree V bank, compared to 70 degrees on the original VMAX. This narrower angle between the massive cylinders serves to concentrate mass for more neutral handling performance, and makes the new powerplant 27mm shorter than the original model.As well as the significant space savings achieved by the use of the innovative new combined chain and gear cam drive and 65 degree V layout, the use of a centrally located cam chain helps to minimize the new engine’s width. Despite the fact that the bore dimensions on the new larger-capacity VMAX are over 18% larger than its predecessor, the new engine’s overall width is approximately the same as the current model, and overall height is only 6.5 mm taller.

Another example of the way in which sophisticated technology has been used to enhance the performance on the new VMAX is evident in the new forged aluminium
pistons. In order to handle the huge power and torque output of the new 1,679cc V4 engine, fracture split carburized con rods is featured in the new VMAX.

Generally speaking, a long intake passage tends to make an engine stronger in the low to mid-speed range, while a shorter intake passage gives the pressure
wave a faster pulse for increased performance at higher speeds. The YCC-I (Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake) system is designed to vary the intake funnel length so that it is ‘tuned’ to give a positive intake pulse that best suits the prevailing engine speed.When engine revs rise above 6,650 rpm, electronically-controlled servomotors cause each intake funnel to separate instantaneously, effectively creating a shorter intake funnel measuring only 54mm, which enables the VMAX engine to deliver even stronger performance from the mid-range right through to peak rpm.

Another highly advanced feature seen on the new VMAX is the YCC-T Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle. This innovative throttle has a remarkably high calculating speed, and assesses the engine’s running conditions every millisecond, which enables the system to respond instantaneously to rider inputs.The YCC-T system on the new VMAX helps to deliver awesome acceleration feeling together with the desired torque curve in all conditions, and also prevents the 1,679cc V4 engine from ‘bogging down’ if the throttle is snapped opened too quickly

Aggressively-styled hand-finished aluminium air intakes mounted on the front left and front right side of the dummy fuel tank give the VMAX a muscular profile, and direct an intense flow of air straight into the massive new airbox which is approximately twice the volume of the design on the existing model.
By delivering a strong supply of cool, fresh air, this new large-capacity airbox is designed to maximize the significant performance gains associated with the new YCC-I system.

For excellent all-round performance the new VMAX runs with a new 4-1-2-4 exhaust system featuring short, upswept mufflers. After leaving the cylinders, the
four header pipes flow into a single chamber, where the system splits into a left and right side pipe, and then each of these divides again to give a 4-1-2-4
system. An oxygen sensor (Lambda sensor) detects oxygen levels in the exhaust system and regulates the fuel supply via the fuel injection system to ensure that emissions are minimized, while a 3-way honeycomb catalyser ensures the VMAX exceeds EU3 regulations.The four single-expansion mufflers are short and upswept, and emit a strong and pleasing exhaust sound with a special pulsing sensation that announces your presence. The high quality silencers are manufactured from lightweight titanium, and finished in shot blast to complement the mean and moody look of the
black frame and engine.The new VMAX is equipped with a completely new advanced-specification aluminium frame which has been designed to deliver high levels of handling performance, allowing the rider to optimize the huge potential of the remarkably powerful 1,679cc V4 engine.

The rear suspension is a link-type Monocross system which is, like the new front forks, is fully adjustable for preload, as well as for compression and
rebound damping. For added convenience, the new VMAX is equipped with a hydraulic remote adjuster for preload setting, while a remote control dial beneath the tandem footrest adjusts the compression damping. Another remote control dial beneath the left-side swingarm allows easy adjustment of the rear shock’s rebound damping.The full adjustability of both the front and rear suspension systems is more commonly associated with supersport models, and allows the VMAX rider to optimise the ride quality on their machine for outstanding roadholding.

The new VMAX benefits from a sophisticated cooling system which consists of two radiators and an oil cooler. The two-piece radiator features a curved-type
upper section which allows the engine to be situated closer to the front wheel for idealised mass centralisation. In order to achieve a maximum surface area for highly efficient engine cooling, the lower part of this two-piece radiator is a conventional flat shape whose unobtrusive design allows the massive V4
engine to be seen in all its glory – and at the same time permits the fitment of a fan. And to ensure stable oil temperatures for consistently strong engine performance, the 1,679cc engine is equipped with a liquid-type oil cooler.

The braking system that has been developed for the new VMAX is one of the most sophisticated and powerful designs ever seen on a Yamaha motorcycle. At the
front end, dual 320mm diameter wave-type discs are gripped by radial-mounted 6-piston calipers for excellent stopping power – and for superb feel, the master
cylinder features a radial-type pump.And for strong, confidence-inspiring braking, the new VMAX runs with a 298mm wave-type disc slowed by a pin-slide type single-piston caliper. The VMAX is equipped with a newly-developed linear-controlled hydraulic ABS system which is designed to enhance braking control over a variety of road surfaces and in varying riding conditions. The hydraulic control system is activated by a linear solenoid valve which prevents wheel lock-up during braking, allowing the rider to experience smooth lever action and achieve effective braking on different types of road. This innovative and compact ABS system combines the ECU and hydraulic mechanism into a single unit which is situated under the seat. By keeping the system’s dimensions to a minimum, neither the machine’s aesthetics or weight have been compromised, and the positioning of the unit ensures that overall mass centralisation is enhanced

For natural handling qualities the VMAX is equipped with 18 inch front and rear wheels which are shod with specially-developed tyres that are designed to
offer the optimum balance of grip, shock absorption and roadholding.

Mounted on top of the dummy fuel tank is a multi-function Organic Electro-Luminescent “OEL” instrument panel which displays a wide range of information on
its 256×64 dot display. This newly designed OEL panel gives a bright, easy-to-read display and offers an instant response, and its functions include
odometer, tripmeter, clock, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, gear position, running fuel consumption, intake air temperature and throttle opening, as well as a
stopwatch with a countdown function.

2008 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14
Every champion knows sustained dominance is only possible with constant improvement. Such is the case with new Kawasaki's Ninja ZX-14. Since it debut in March of 2006, this motorcycle has ruled the open class sportbike roost with nearly non-stop magazine comparison victories. Even though the 1352cc Ninja ZX-14 won lavish praise for its massive torque, effortless power, agile handling and comfortable ergonomics, Kawasaki engineers were not willing to leave the door open to potential challengers.

The 2008 Ninja ZX-14 retains all the great features that made it a legend, plus more bottom, mid and top-end power. Changes in the engine and exhaust system allow it to comply with strict Euro-III emissions and tightening noise regulations. To meet noise standards, the engineers focused on reducing internal mechanical noise instead of muzzling the exhaust system. The result wasn't a power loss, but an overall improvement of the engine character and an actual increase in the ZX-14's legendary peak power! Yes, you read that correctly. Emissions and noise levels are lower, peak power is higher, the mid-range hit is stronger and smoother and low-end torque has been increased. A win-win solution for all, in our books.

To achieve those stringent emission levels, a third honeycomb catalyzer was added in the collector, joining the two honeycomb catalyzers already in each silencer. The secondary air ports in the cylinder head and its cover were made approximately 20 percent larger to permit an easier air flow into the exhaust system. A new Air Switching Valve(ASV) caps off the low emission updates and can handle approximately five percent more flow than the last year's version.

Conquering the challenging Euro-III regulations is admirable, but Kawasaki took it to the next level on the Ninja ZX-14 with changes to its 1352cc engine which improve the power characteristics while meeting noise regulations. The injection system was first to receive attention in an effort to boost peak power, give a more linear mid-range and stronger low end torque with the same user-friendly personality. The fine-atomizing fuel injectors had their lateral spray angle increased from 15 to 20 degrees to disperse the atomized fuel over a wider area and the intake porting was revised to provide optimum flow characteristics. Outside of the engine, the exhaust silencers feature refinements to the capacity of the first and third chambers and the lengths of the pipes projecting from the baffle plates have been adjusted. Next the entrances to the connecting tubes (joining header pipes 1-4 and 2-3) were enlarged approximately 75 percent to compensate for the new collector shape, which was altered to allow the inclusion of a third honeycomb catalyzer. These changes were a major component of the enhanced the torque characteristics, especially in the low rpm range.

Reducing internal mechanical noise allowed for the engineers to employ comparatively little exhaust modification to meet noise mandates and consequently the exhaust system could remain free flowing for greater power. Lower mechanical noise was attained by revising the piston profiles and adding a urethane insulation sheet to the inside of the magnesium chain cover.

The engine and exhaust system weren't the only areas updated for 2008. The Ninja ZX-14's chassis design is every bit the equal of its power plant. Using an advanced version of Kawasaki's unique aluminum monocoque design, its frame is lightweight and very strong. Switching to die instead of gravity casting for the cast aluminum sections of the main frame resulted in lighter parts, allowing the Kawasaki engineers to shave weight on the already slim and compact frame.

Featuring a relaxed sport riding position, the Ninja ZX-14 is compact without being cramped, with its bars positioned within easy reach. The narrow engine, monocoque frame, and fuel tank provide a slim rider interface. Footpegs are low-set to give ample legroom and the low seat height and narrow seat front make it easy to plant both feet on the ground when stopped. Comfort levels are high enough that riders might think they're on a dedicated sport tourer, but one twist of the Ninja ZX-14's throttle is all it takes to remind anyone this is the world's quickest and most powerful production motorcycle.

Uninterrupted fairing lines give the Ninja ZX-14 a smooth, flowing appearance from front to rear due in part to the monocoque frame that goes over the engine and doesn't protrude through the cowling. Quadruple projector beam headlights adorn the Ninja ZX-14's front, with low beams in the two center lenses and the outer lenses containing the high beams and position lamps. The turn signals are cleanly integrated into the fairing and rear cowl with a unique "V" design LED tail lamp capping off the sleek aerodynamics of the Ninja ZX-14 that reinforces Kawasaki's aircraft heritage.

This blending of form, power, and handling characteristics yields a motorcycle with appeal that extends far outside of its high performance audience. The Ninja ZX-14 lives up to its Ninja heritage, by surpassing the competition.

BULLET MACHISMO 500

India's heavy bike maker Royal Enfield has come up with an awesome bike Machismo 500 which is wearing muscular looks and 'tractor-like' pulling power. The new Machismo 500 is almost the same as the 350cc Machismo but with a powerful heart.
The new Machismo 500cc gets the all aluminium Lean Burn engine. Comparing the Thunderbird 350cc LB engine the stroke remains the same to the 90mm, the bore is increased to 84mm which results in the higher displacement i.e.500cc. The 500cc LB engine generates 24PS @5600rpm and a maximum torque of40.85Nm at 3000rpm . Better cooling and lighter weight is achieved by bigger cooling fins and aluminium construction of engine block and head . New Machismo breathes through Mikuni carb and ignition is by advanced Transistorised Coil Ignition (TCI) system which ensures smoother ride and battery charging at low speeds.
The Machismo 500 features 280mm disc at the front and drum brake at the rear. For grip Machismo 500 uses MRF 19" tyres. It also features gas filled shock absorbers at the rear, polyurethane seats and handle bar weight to control vibrations even though you can feel the vibrations at high speeds. Though the instrumentation remains the same the switch controls in Machismo 500 LB are as good as modern bikes. The machismo retains the most of the Bullets character except its LB engine and also contains some new features like the gas charged suspension, electric starter and disc brake.
Unlike other Bullets no weld scars in new Machismo and the paintable areas is very minimal. Extreme use of steel makes the Machismo shiny. You can get the new machismo 500LB in black and alberto green.

YAMAHA YZF-R-15

Yamaha YZF R 15 is the first model in the India which is inspired by supersport image. Its design evokes the image of the Yamaha's YZF-R series. This revolutionary bike is based on totally race technology.

Yamaha's YZF R15 makes use of DiASil (Die-casting Aluminum-Silicon) cylinder. The DiASil Cylinder is an all-aluminum cylinder made possible by an exclusive Yamaha aluminum forging technology.Use of 20% sillicon-aluminiun alloy helps to create a cylinder wall that is hard and durable so that it eliminates the need for a conventional steel cylinder sleeve.
