New Motorcycle

 

Honda Gold Wing for the year was at the top of the luxury market and tourism, which offers the best balance between comfort and performance in its class. But the rule is now under the threat of new BMW K1600 GTL has received a very favorable review editor at Duke a few weeks ago.

In a context of increased competition, Honda has chosen to equip the Gold Wing 2012 with only moderate improvements. This indifference is asked: When Honda retaliate with full model upgrade? Until this case, each time may come, "its the little things that matter" adage should be enough for fans of the Gold Wing.

Honda offer models with both 2012 and 2010 Gold Wing for the back-to-back comparison, minor updates adorn the obvious GL 2012. Trivial as the updates may be available, and the effort at least justifies the $ 300 increase in MSRP between 2010 and 2012 base models ($ 22,899 versus $ 23,199, respectively).

The purpose of Comparo this back to back - is clear on the tight, winding roads of Californias Coastal Range we were in the race - was to focus on better handling of the 2012 Gold Wing . When the old wing bar Dunlop, the new wing are shod with Bridgestone rubber. But as Honda was quick to point out Bridgestone was designed to work in harmony with the 2012 revised suspension, so they will not necessarily revive the old wing.

 

In addition to the internal ring back up and down the fork, Honda could not say that there is a revised suspension settings front and rear wing 2012. Front wheel travel by car is reported in 4.8-inch, representing a reduction of 5, 5 calls for the wings before. However, Honda says the journey is actually unchanged, given the specification of age was a typographical error and confirm the new figure of 4.8 inches.

In any case, there is a slightly improved management of the 2012 Gold Wing ways. I say slightly, because the 2010s were the proper treatment of these heavy machines, but the new model is slightly more prone to fall into a corner. And in a 2010-model requires a little effort more to keep the long line of navigating a corner, 2012 to keep it lean angle and maintain the arc selected driver. Cornering clearance of 10 felt the same wing, and both were equally resistant to the bottom.

The seat-of-the-pants the most notable improvement in 2012-Wing, literally, is headquartered. Hopping out of the old model, and the new model, it became clear that the material of urethane new seats and the cover is really an improvement. Not quite Tempur-Pedic mattress material, but the GL support new headquarters for the level of comfort. And all passengers will be greeted by one of the best seats in the passenger business, a much more relaxing to sit on the drivers seat BMW GTL - if you do not want to whine in the back seat, you hear less him with the blade.

 

Because navigating a 900-pound motorcycle through the area where the motorcycle sport in general required all my attention wander, I have not been able to mess with the Gold Wing is upgraded electronics. Yes, I manage to find a decent station on the wing, XM Satellite Radio (some heavy metals to highlight the heavy grinding PEG), but Honda has improved other aspects of their audio and navigation systems.

New audio system in the squad is MP3/iPod connectivity. Yes, the connection of the device is in the top box, but its location is not important because Honda incorporates the control of the iPod in their handlebar controls and a panel of the screen. You can access playlists, artists, albums, etc, just as if you had the camera in hand. There is also a new dimension in surround sound speakers available to provide a better listening experience. I could hear the rear speakers more clearly, even at high speeds.

Before leaving on our day we had a technical briefing on the new satellite navigation system from Honda. According to Honda the system provides updated information out of date due to a faster connection between cycling and satellite. Display screen is now clear for better viewing.

A very useful feature when traveling into the unknown new band is the GPS-Assist, which tells the driver in advance if you want the ramp to the left or right side of the highway. There is also a new 3-D terrain. Next to the iPod adapter to connect it with a new removable flash card, which allows owners to remove the Gold Wing their way, the download of a personal computer to download and share with the other wings of gold.

Curiously, the Golden Wheel new wing is locked in a burst of clear varnish. Honda says its for easy cleaning and to keep the wheels in better shape for a longer period. For someone who remembers yellow, exfoliation, clear coated wheels in the 1980s, it may seem like a mistake. But Honda has assured me that all the coat clear is the same recipe, the process of application is changed and the process was 30 years ago that got motorcycle owners to spend hours with a handful of steel wool scraping putty fatal turn of the wheel.

The new substance EQ 2012 Gold Wing, the side panels of color, stands out, with almost the same in the new wing added to his predecessor. New look cool profile of the Honda Gold Wing and second, the fairing is slightly wider, better protection from the wind.

Another visual cue of the GL is a new hood, directly above the brake / gear levers. It was the old model of chromium, but now it is black, according to Honda, to look at "modernizing". But instead of chrome or colored to update one of the three trim levels above the base model, this is incomplete, plastic, black panel illuminates all of the 2012 Gold Wings. It looks cheaper in person than in pictures, and it is not appropriate for a high-end motorcycle.

So the 2012 Gold Wing motorcycle to date is better, receive updates on areas that really benefit from its pilot. However, $ 23,199 is $ 28,499, the Gold Wing is the largest GTL BMW K1600, which retails for $ 23,200 is $ 25,845.

The new Beemer faster, lighter, has a Bluetooth and an electrically adjustable windshield. But the wing housing the most luxurious and passengers may have a slight advantage in low-speed handling.

Although better than the wind in your pocket has been difficult to determine during the windy afternoon spent on board the two wings, restyled rear wheel, which has been moved to the rear lights, was a visually pleasing, and its functionality obvious. By centralizing the clearance between the back of the panniers saddlebags, and extends, the new Gold Wing gains seven liters of storage space. Parked side by side, 2012 looks smaller saddlebags, but tis only an optical illusion.

Carved from standard models of Harley, Customs adopted a bare knuckles dark attitude expressed through nonsense style minimalist spirit highlighted by a black-out and long ends. Harley tacit directive seems to work in this sub-line means that the Motor Company will pay homage to (while leveraging) subcultures around Harleys many - such as cork stage, for example.

Blackline new silhouette will raise awareness of cycling Heritage Softail, but this latest model to join the Dark Custom series sports a lot of chopping and bobbing seen the likes of 48, and the Nightster Iron 883

Blackline short wings, small discrete marks, light and easy to follow the example of many notes of dark style of the bike as. One side of the instrument (a speedometer with LCD overlay that allows a pilot to choose odometer, Odon, the clock gear position, with tachometer or miles on the battery) placed in the steering head is a tank outlet mounted instruments are in current Softail line.

This minimization of functions is another indicator of allegiance to the credo Blackline less is more dark customs.

Continuing the theme is dark black rims, black fork, black headlight nacelle, black mirrors, black lights (with the rear end are both back office - first seen at night Forester and carried on iron 883 and 48) Black rear pulley, belt guard, rear fender struts, etc., etc., while the black line is quite similar to black-out scheme, it is not completely refrain from chrome. The airline "of the filter cover, the brake pedal arm and the cover block lifting is bright, while those parts Sportster based on darks are not.

A Harley Barely Legal

And possible, "Line is a wheel, Larry Flynt might find attractive.

When designers and engineers at Harley finished crafts this bike, they decided to give her barely legal distance between the mirrors - they just meet the minimum requirement of the DOT. The mirrors are attached to "divide and slide" handlebars, brings the hands of the driver unusually close for a Harley, and appears also to push the boundaries of the limited permissible.

The wrinkled appearance is itself a key benchmark of style and an instant crowd Blackline to direct current bikes cork and builders often ignore the law with their forms of rebellion.

Another standout feature is the standout until it begins to look old-fashioned narrow the rear wheel. As we said Kevin Duke Blackline unveiling in January this year, Harley-installed 144 mm 16-inch sandwich from the back, while a narrow 21-inch - common price cruiser - runs the front. As Kevin said, unveiling the report, this is a new tight ring "is the middle finger is tired of the fat-tire business."

Blackline sure to read the preview of the details in depth and to hear a sample of the team that created the Harley.

Feet forward, fists inward and forward, Go Feel Lawless

They are generally law-abiding citizen, but from the moment your Hiney throw in a pound of Black Line dished seat than 26.1 cm from the floor - the minimum height of the saddle of a Harley-dual offering - if you feel a internal rule-breaker off. Put the boots fitted with taps, lean forward to block illegal far-sighted, closely spaced bars and let the trend of the torque-biased Twin Cam 96B are carried on the road again to unite the revolutionary ideas of the bad slip biker clubs in your mind .

At first glance, the highway patrol or local agent of your state of mind of evil derailed, slamming back to reality when you realize youd much rather finish paying the mortgage that the race of man. But you get the picture

Despite the commitment to look at the driving position, Blackline provides a nice perch comfortably. However, even if youre under 5 feet 10 inches, or less than 30-inch inseam, it can feel like youre stretching, both in the bars or pegs. The ability to stretch on one side, but all the drivers as soon as possible to find a flat foot stuff easy to quit. If ergos will reveal the lack of a highway during the sessions when windblast 80 mph can begin to tax their grip on the bars.

Although the driving position is not as extreme as the fold of their riders put in customs, Blackline ergos, depending on the height of the driver, bicyclist only the strength of this position is known as C horse so wonderfully that acts as a parachute to capture a large amount of wind.

It was during the stint freeway I noticed how well damped rear suspension was more than most shots, but large - such as expansion joints mutant - which have nothing to most of the Cruiser punting away from the drivers seat . Now, these mirrors ...

Although the style of mirror is placed close to production base bobbed wheel, rear view is compromised - to the point that I got a new appreciation for the view offers some of the sport bike mirrors (which often make fun of the sport bikes for their limited rear view).

Thus, limiting the visual field is also the Black Line and the mirrors that I often had to raise the left or right while pulling both hands inward as much as possible to see more of what was behind me. Harley usually boast a good mirror, UM, performance, but this style-conscious set of weight restrictions ornamental purposes only.

Twin air-cooled Big Stuff familiar to those who have started, he weighed 96 inches, but it involves the reopening of many advantages thatve kept this engine in production for the past years several models. Before my race Blackline it had been a while since my last trip on a Harley large caliber, and I found its sweetness, torquey power is ready at any time, regardless of gear selection, or revolutions per minute, pleasant and amusing reminder just what a turbine engine is a good cruiser.

EFI smooth power response is not immediate as perhaps a modern sports tourer motorcycle or standard, but the main effect of inertia of the Twin engine keeps digging in its deep well of torque. Even while in Top Gear at highway cruising speeds, Twin Cam 96B propels forward acceleration Blackline-consciously respectable when your action on the shifter says, "Gimme more! Now!" Milwaukee motor.

If cruisers usually have a well-known limiting factor is the clearance angle, ie how far you can fall into a turn, until you hear and feel: grinding on asphalt .

Does not take much effort at the time the auger is Blackline footrest antennas in the concrete during a turn, but to be fair, the clearance angle does not seem to be too low unless I turned a corner cruises either in the canyons or city.

So little effort Blackline address is. With the fat rear tires of the ruling class for so long, you may still not ready to take on the look of the rear wheel "skinny." But trust us when we say that the width of the rim lends favorably to manipulation.

With real estate rubber still requires energy Blackline less than the amendment to the initial control input and the cycle is not showing a desire to right itself in the middle of the corner (as you have to fight the bike to keep his line in a game) and so many cruisers 200mm rear tire tends to do. With a considerable length of 66.5 inches between the wheel axles and steering geometry very relaxed 30 degree tilt and 4.84 inches of trail for handling Blackline neutral and will manage belies its empty weight 683 kilos.

Stop running, the engine performance is normal Harley riders are used to: with enough power to feel good at the lever. But give the front brake lever a warm deal with the four fingers and a clamp and the disc will be in the Dark Custom coil quickly.

In addition, Harley made available ABS Black Line - a feature usually the realm of a range of business VRSC and Touring. Unfortunately, the optional ABS, which in 2010 is generally added to the $ 845 MSRP of some models, is now available at Black Line only as part of the $ 1195 security bundle includes the near-keyless fob. Packet-only prices following this model, where ABS is an option to select 2011 models.

She rocked and black is the new game, but only two Want to Play

Black-as-sin Vivid Black Line Black retails for $ 15,499, while the Cool Blue Pearl / Vivid Black and Sedona Orange / Black clear price tags are marked with $ 15,998. Otherwise, the color of the color settings are about 3/4ths of the fuel - another system is a custom black-brown heart-line.

Some might say that the high-ish bars ape hanger style front tires and wide at the Victory Ball Upper keep it in direct competition with the Black Line. But the inspiration Upper Ball bobber clear as day that the case, and said that victory is interested in a share of trade volume in the dark customs.

A model of best fit for superior Harley Ball is the bone of the Dark Custom Cross. Unfortunately, we have good reason to believe that the Cross Bones is the HD 2012 lineup card.

High-Ball Victory is powered by 106 cubic inch, 6-speed 106 Freedom V-Twin. Gains and Harley comparos we did, we know that even if not as silky smooth as Harley Twin Cam, Double victory wheel produces a very low power more - as at least 20 hp and 20 Nm over Vee 96B.

Then consider the high ball MSRP $ 13,499. Moreover, the victory is the only major producer of cruise passengers bobbed to take this theme, the production level.

Piaggio Typhoon

Piaggio which owns legendary companies like Vespa, Aprillia and Moto Guzzi, have a speculation that Italian Scooter manufacturer, Piaggio, will bring their stylish Typhoon scooter in India with a 150 cc engine. The engine may be borrowed from the Fly 150 scooter. The Fly 150 has MPFI which means Multi Point Fuel Injection. This may be first of its kind in India.


The engine is a 4-stroke engine producing 11.4 HP and 11.5 Nm of torque with the usual twist-and-go CVT automatic transmission. This will also make it one of the most powerful scooters available in India. This is the second 150cc scooter to be launched in India. Honda Eterno 150 is the earlier. Typhoon will get 12 inch wheels, fatter tires and front disc.
This Italian scooter may have top speed of 100km/hr and mileage of 30 to 35 km/ltr.

Attractive edge BMW F800R has finally arrived in America after 18 months of racing in Europe. 800R naked roadster is part of BMWs plan to capture a younger audience.

BMW Motorrad new ethos is to be more daring and state of the art, like the side of his BMW car and illustrated by S1000RR Superbike. Not only the RR to become the best selling BMW in the United States, the average age of owners just 34 years.

"A resounding success" is like Pieter De Waal, BMW Motorrad USA vice president, describes the S1000RR, especially given the current depressed market. "If the sale does not need anything to anybody," says De Waal, "you better give them a good reason to buy."

Then, in his quest for "younger, more aggressive riders," the futuristic city F800R is available to U.S. pilots for the first time, replacing the mechanical equivalent of the 2011 BMW F800S range. The 800ST unchanged.

The F800R is essentially a smaller version of the 800ST, which has earned our respect by beating Honda VFR800 Interceptor proficient in a sport-touring shootout.

Key distinctions beyond the obvious lack of 800R fairings are a double-sided swingarm to replace one side of the arm of ST and asymmetric double headlight bulbs H7 sports. ST low maintenance belt drive is replaced by a chain and sprockets in the same final drive ratio, and 4-6 gears are shorter. The sixth is the fifth report on the 800G.

At a list price of $ 9,950 (plus $ 495 destination), the F800R sells for about $ 1,000 less than the F800ST base MSRP is $ 10.990. Remove ST single sided swinger and belt drive with the price of R $ below that magic 10K mark. BMW officials say a belt system that costs more than a string.

Like a naked sport bike, is a decathlete F800R gender, able to barge his way through commuter traffic on Monday, then rip the canyons on the weekends. Comfortable upright ergonomics offers accommodating, with a piece handlebar just to go ahead - perfect.

Ergo fall a bit short with only marginal point seat room. The standard seat is sitting at a modest 31.5 inches, optional or no extra-charge get a seat-cm in both directions. Adjustable footrest would be a worthy addition to a versatile bike like this. The mirrors are mounted too low for easy rear views.

We need a new F800R updated to include the printed part of the interconnect device (MID) switches, where the laser creates a circuit and the conductors of plastic bags, instead of using individual cables for each circuit. This allows multi-function switch with compact size. For example, the functions of starter and kill switch is connected to a single switch.

A little more important information about the options: F800R is the last to abandon the German model of the BMW brand traditional three-button switch available to the combined indicators is the same right as all other bikes with the exception of Harley. All switches 800R feels accurate and smooth, and adjustable levers ensure a variable to reach.

BMW Roadster middleweight feel fine line between his knees, helped fuel tank, located under the seat. With a maximum of 4.1 gallons on board, R is said to weigh a reasonable £ 440.

FR fire easily and quickly installed in a slow motion. Its 798cc parallel twin, is well known for F800 owners with the firing order of 360 degrees even with a combustion event occurs with each rotation of the crank, the pistons move up and down together. This is the firing sequence same as used on BMW Boxer Twins, giving them a sound like the exhaust.

Despite an exhaust note without interest, the F800 engine is very efficient. BMW says it has more torque than anything else in its class and brings a strong effect of only 3000 rpm. The flexibility of the engine with the help of a gearbox fantastic - light, positive and transparent. Its only fault is a clutch that engages the end of his career in a fairly narrow area of ​​friction.

While the head design is similar to K1300-cylinder DOHC engines that use finger cam followers actuators, parallel twin is no screamer. It is a linear accumulation of power that will be strong at 6000 rpm, while its torque peak, run in front of the rear wheels of 80 horsepower, the climax, the measured 800ST The last time tested. BMW says to wait almost identical numbers.

New F800R is to use a variable system pressure of the fuel that feeds only the amount of fuel and timing based on the required power. This makes it more efficient than continuous flow, which varies only requires fuel, and the variance of the times, and eliminates the need and the fuel return hose. This refinement of the unit requires four times the processing power, and BMW says it offers better power delivery, better economy and lower emissions.

The F800 engine has already proven to be fuel efficient, on average, an excellent 48 mpg with our 800ST, although it requires premium fuel. BMW claims an average of 55 mpg for the 800R, which we were unable to check with our time limited places.

Perhaps the most adorable 800R is to set the chassis is very neutral in all situations in the corners. The address bars wide enough for a fast but safe Rake 25.0 degrees and 91 mm of travel, while a thin 59.8-inch wheelbase and a steering damper on the crown provides reassuring stability. It is a willing and able accomplice in a residential area on a mountain road sweeping.

Seventeen-inch wheels are equipped with semi-output to the valve stems, and are shod with 120/70 and 180/55 tires typical, open the bike up to almost any type of rubber. Our bike was a set of Michelin Pilot powers, and have no complaints with them.

In addition to a commitment is naked, while driving on the highway - an upright position and the lack of protection against the wind brings its own sacrifices. However, the F800R is paid pretty well. A slim waist and a fitting body color screens ($ 250) to manage the entire air flow directed to a broker, in relative terms.

As in the F800GS and 800ST, using a revolving line-Twin is running under the arm to counter the crankshaft vibration, an arrangement unique among motorcycle engines. Compensation rod up and down in the opposite direction of the pistons in a system that is quieter than chains or gears that drive conventional balance shafts.

However, some low amplitude generous feeling you experience at highway speeds. The engine turns about 5100 rpm 80 mph, which is just around the vibration seeps its way into the pilot. That said, the atmosphere is high frequency, so Im not entirely embarrassing. Although there is no room for the legs, a saddle hours causing pain in the ass to zero.

Smoothed over by a highway around a generous 4.9-inch travel on both ends. No changes for 43mm forks, but the rear suspension has spring preload and rebound damping regulations, as well as manually adjustable dial. This is a compromise between effective control and comfort, which is suitable personalities R.

The brake 800R is provided by a pair of Brembo two-piece 4-piston calipers clamping on 320mm wafers. Feel is pretty well across lines non-bending steel brake. Our bike has been improved with an ABS system performance, a $ 900 option. As the HP2 Sport, the ABS uses a pressure sensor that provides additional higher threshold before surgery ABS computer. The system is smart enough not to interfere only when the brake pressure light is applied, for example when braking over bumps. It is remarkably transparent, which means admirable.

Instrumentation is a variant of the F800S other indicators, here in the analog speedometer sits atop the analog tach, adjacent to the Info panel LCD, which can be connected to different screens. For example, our test bike accessory connections for tire pressure monitor ($ 250) and heated (250 dollars) each have their own readings. Gear-position indicator is a convenient and easy to read - we want the same can be said of small numbers in the speedometer.

F800R is an attractive platform and versatile, and one of its advantages over its competitors on a wide range of accessories and build it to your taste. A good starting point is the premium package, which includes ABS brakes, heated, and the trip computer and $ 1,445.

Other options include a handy 12-volt accessory outlet ($ 50), alarm ($ 395), expandable side bags and the center stand. Added Cosmetics codon, radiator with cover plate and the vacuum pump. Akropovic titanium exhaust is the only performance of the component.

Conclusion

We have repeatedly extolled the virtues of sport bikes naked, believing that offer the best compromise of versatility, performance and value. Our time aboard the F800R only reinforce the views. Heres a do-almost-all bikes from a manufacturer of premium sold for less than $ 10,000. In addition to the desirable options to raise the price (as proof, our cost of nearly $ 12K), but were happy so many people are available to customize for the pilot.

"This is a do-almost-all bikes with a high-end manufacturer that sold for less than $ 10,000."

A reservation of our commitment to the 800R is to note some competition brewing in other parts of the ancient world. BMW is not as glamorous as a Ducati Monster 796, and entertainment can not match the Triumph Speed ​​Triple chaotic. And do not forget the exotic Functional Aprilia Shiver. BMW three-year/36 0.000-mile warranty, he distinguishes.

That in itself is entertaining take on middleweight F800R Sport Roadster, with a clear advantage in the factory options. It remains to determine how it compares to its rivals class. Feel a shootout to come on
