Honda Cs1


Every year honda always issued a new model motorcycles. honda new modernity is CS1. By design, this bike certainly is a trobosan. Because they combine Underbone Hyper design, Conventional skutik and Duck. But this motorcycle segment alone was in the midst of such a motor Hyper FU Underbone and Jupiter MX 150 or in position to compete with skutik Skywave. But did not rule out the product "nyeleneh" This will disrupt the market and cruiser motor sport such as Bajaj Pulsar 180, and even his own brother Vixion GL Pro. This is possible with a similar price range.

Technology is really nothing compared trobosan motor that had been circulating in the market, but the difference between the latest Honda motorcycles are able to accommodate several needs at once just by using a product. This seems an extraordinary thing. Being an alternative or a product "compromise" the most appropriate.

Color choices:

* Cosmic Black
* Hornet Gold
* Lightning Silver
* Burning Red

Test Drive Honda CS-1


On 6/4/08 at the circuit park Kenjeran surabaya, a new hero honda is the test by some news media were invited by Honda wrote.

Bener CS1 design a brand new in the world, our first game in this category Mr. Miki Yamamoto, President Director of PT AHM. positionnya riding like a duck, but the impression that caught while sweeping view of the front, just like we were on motor sport, perhaps because the design of the front trunk look like a tank in the motor sport, when the tank is located under the seat like a duck most. bongsor looks great though, CS1 empty weight is only 114kg.

Although the capacity of only 125 cc engine and the number of valves in the cylinder head was just 2 pieces, the response began to spin down power until the middle was big, the motor can accelerate quickly dashed when the gas began to open the grip, unlike the duck class.

As measured by Vericom VC3000, to reach the distance 0-201 meters, CS1 only takes 12.28 seconds (weight 77 kg driver). Dear speednya top capacity when tested separately fixed only 115 km / hour. probably because the engine rev limit deliberate in not too high by CDI. limiternya just set up 11,300 rpm. for safety reasons said Wedijanto, AHM Technical service.

According to Agus Bleduk national road race drivers, handling CS1 deserve thumbs up, use extreme cornering chassis was not running, the weight of the motor was too easy, so the bike is very nimble maneuvers.

Data Acceleration:

* 0-60 km / h: 5.59 seconds
* 0-80 km / h: 8.48 seconds
* 0-100 meters: 7.54 seconds
* 0-201 meters: 12.28 seconds
* Top speed: 115 km / h
* Fuel Consumption: 46.2 km / liter (max speed not more than 70 km / h)

+ Recording super accurate distance
Spidomoter CS1 digital system has advantages over recording mileage, all-digital and eliminate needle system clearly Hariko Handy, senior manager of technical services AHM. gauges with a five-digit number, meaning if it is reached 99.999km will return to 0.

- Small Luggage
CS1 users can not put a lot of things, console box (c-box) located above Underbone just enough to put a raincoat. yes his name motor sport ...

+ Chassis twin tube
Yg Sasisnya twin tube type is superior to the round rather than the framework, therefore, this motor remains stable when asked to topple.

+ Position handlebars
High-looking handlebars with handlebar position bend inward, a driver can move freely and not easily turned pegal.ketika invited to step foot touched the tarmac before this bike steady.

+ Power equivalent mega pro
CS1 energy that could boost 125 cc 12.66 dk. nearly equal pro mega honda 160 cc with a 13.12 effort dk. as a comparison again, 114kg weight CS1 only. compared with the supra x 125 which is 102kg lighter, CS1 stay one step ahead, just try to use the formula power to weight ratio or the total weight divided DK. CS1 is 12.66 / 114 = 0.111 was Supra X125 is 9.17 / 102 = 0.0899. CS1 natural light and full-powered due to power to weight ratio is greater, meaning power motor sport but have weight duck.

Yamaha YZF-R6 Motorcycle Any Good


Motorcycle is a means of transportation on land use in many adults. Safety is a rite of passage for most children. This is the first to find true freedom for them to exit and enter the place and literally the first of many motor vehicles they own because the economy is involved in vehicle ownership and the fact that most children are not progressing financially.

The Yamaha YZF-R6 or R6 as it is more often called rapid cycling, and that will stimulate almost every person who rides or view on it. Heart pumping a bicycle in 2006 that touted staggering 17,500-RPM redline. If the right of the actual engine RPM, the bike will be up to approximately close to the performance of high technology and high-dollar formula one racing car.

Bicycles that have registered as a CC-style engine 600 as a 4 stroke with 16 valves and liquid cooled, dual overhead Cams and the new models incorporate titanium valves. It is fuel injected with a six-speed transmission and chain final drive to get the torque to the rear wheels. There are almost 5 gallon tank that allows a reasonable distance and have a dry weight of only 366 pounds so it should be easy for anyone to maneuver.

He is a traditional style, such as racing bikes, and will change almost all of which happen to see it streak by in the street or just walking by anyone. This is a very interesting search engine, which explains the popularity back almost immediately when introduced in 1999 and also explain why the popularity of which continues to this day, ten years later.

This machine and to maintain the value of selling good enough to make them an anomaly in the motor vehicle industry in which only a few vehicles actually worth keeping.

The History Kawasaki

As with the story of many other motorcycle manufacturing companies, Kawasaki's history began on entirely different lines. Although by 1949 they were producing engines that could be adapted for motorcycle use, the first real motorbike didn't appear until 1954. Historically, the company had been involved in heavy industry, including the manufacture of aircraft, ships and trains.

The company's first offerings were a 60cc two-stroke, and a150cc and 250cc four-stroke respectively, which were developed using German technology. Kawasaki and BMW had enjoyed a close relationship that stemmed from their days as aircraft builders. Meihatsu, a subsidiary of the Kawasaki Aircraft Company, gave its name to the first complete motorbike produced by the company. Around this time, an unsuccessful attempt was made to break into the scooter sector; the Fuji Rabbit and the Mitsubishi Silver Penguin proving too strong an opposition.

In 1960, the company signed a deal with the oldest motorcycle company in Japan, Meguro Motorcycles, whose fortunes had declined since being a major motorcycle manufacturer from their birth in 1937. Having once been regarded as 'the senior make and king of four-strokes', Meguro turned away from their British influence with disastrous results. By 1962, their name had disappeared.

Having initially produced low powered machines, Kawasaki, using the knowledge acquired from Meguro, turned their attention towards bigger bikes, and in 1966 produced the W1, a 650cc machine that was heavier and slower than its rivals, so enjoyed limited success. Lighter versions were developed in the shape of the 250cc Samurai and the 350cc A7 Avenger, but again, these machines didn't capture the imagination of the public.

By 1969, Kawasaki were beginning to get things right, and the introduction of the 500cc H1 kick-started the company's reputation of quality, high performance machines. Smaller versions were released; the 250cc and 350cc S1's. A 748cc H2 became available in 1972 and stayed in production until the mid 70's, when emission laws drew a curtain on the project.

The introduction of the Z1 in 1973, proved a milestone for Kawasaki. At first intended to have a 750cc power unit, the company eventually settled on a 903cc engine, after they had seen Honda reveal their CB750. The Z1, having great performance and a good price, became an instant success and soon became the Z900, with the Z1000 following hot on its heels.

In 1984, the introduction of the GPz900r caused quite a stir. This was in line with the company's development of liquid cooled, DOHC, 16 valve, four cylinder engines. This power unit combined with a light, compact chassis would carry you across the first 400 metres of your journey in just over ten and a half seconds. It had a top speed of 250km/h and took the title of 'The World's Fastest Bike'. It was also named 'Bike of the Year' in 1984.

1984 also saw the introduction of Kawasaki's first Cruiser, the Vulcan 750, whilst the 900cc Eliminator came along a year later, using the engine from the GPz900r. The CS250 (Casual Sports) appeared in the same year, featuring a liquid cooled, DOHC, single cylinder motor.

During the90's, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers were in serious competition in the Superbike sector, and Kawasaki's contribution was the 1052cc, ZZR-1100, a motorcycle that was to remain the fastest production bike for the next five years. Its power, combined with a strong frame and good suspension, made it a popular touring machine. In 2002, it was replaced by the ZZR-1200, which offered better handling. A ZZR-600 also entered the fray.

2002 saw the Ninja ZX-12R arrive with an aluminium, monocoque frame, and a 16 valve in line, four cylinder engine.

In 2003, the 638cc, ZX-6R replaced the 1995 version. This completely redesigned machine was all that a fast bike should be; quick and aggressive. The Z1000 appeared as a street bike in this same year. It seemed that Kawasaki was top of the tree.

Their motorcycle history has been relatively short, but Kawasaki have achieved more in that time than some manufacturers have done in a hundred years. It's no surprise then, that owners stay loyal to the company and the product, as we all wait eagerly for the next exciting development o come along and blow our minds.

Kawasaki ZX-6R



Now, I may be sick with a debilitating injury, but I still burn the midnight oil trying to find out the best bolt-on kit for zx-6R owners out there. So in this spirit, I hustled the mechanical heart-Dave Smith off to shop with Dyno Carbontek zx-6R and a tool to test a different pipe.

First up is titanium Akrapovic Evo full system that has been in the bike for two months. A super-bright, beautifully crafted setup, it's the lightest of the three tests here (and most expensive). Fi nal link in the pipeline is amazingly fat - ideal for pipes suggest race tuners search of peak power. I'm pretty happy with Akrapovic blend of voice, looks, weight and power.

When first installed, it made 118bhp at the wheel, the stock more than six bhp. On the test day produced 116bhp at the wheel, we provide a good basis for a number of other two pipes. Afternoon by Dave's spannering see both the micron serpent Hydratech and bolted Yoshimura duplex system and try out.

The result is the Dyno sheet - beautiful and interesting to read them too. Micron is regulated, with the Ultralite can be quite easy, but Dave has been getting some problems with the correct header to fit the radiator mount. Running on the Dyno, which provides impressive 119.5bhp micron in tires, increased approximately 3.5bhp through Akrapovic, and almost ten bhp over stock.

Yoshimura The setup looks a little slack to begin with. Using the standard Kawasaki mid pipe between the header of titanium and stainless end can, and a few welds are boys fall apart. But bugger if I do not provide the power as well as micron. A tenth of micron bhp more than, in the hundred or so less rpm, with a few bumps in the curves, a Yoshimura not much better than our estimates.

Final variable is fueling - Power Commander on the bike tweaked to have a map in accordance with the Akrapovic system, which makes the micron and Yoshimura seen better. Some time in the next Dyno curves on the increase akan Yoshi micron and even more. So, to conclude, which is the lightest by Akrapovic almost half a kilo, it appears the best, most visible and suitable for engine tuning.

Micron is the cheapest, most-create with power, and in between Akra and Yoshi fat. Yoshimura making power with the best, is on the road price, and the heaviest. Now, owners zx-6R, the choice is yours. Do you want to have?

The Great Motorcycles - The BMW K1



In 1989, BMW released a motorcycle that shocked the motorcycle world. That bike was the BMW K1 and it was surprising for two reasons, its performance and the fact that it was built by BMW. At the time BMW had been known for making solid, reliable bikes but they were uninspired and dull. The K1 broke that mold and led to the present day BMW line up that includes many performance oriented machines such as the K1200S and K1200R.

At the time the K1 was built, a voluntary limit of 100 bhp restricted the power output of German motorcycles. In order to obtain the maximum amount of performance from the K1 BMW engineers decided to wrap the motorcycle in an all encompassing aerodynamic fairing. This decision also made a statement that in the future BMW would make bikes that were not only reliable but were exciting both to look at and to ride.

The K1 was powered by a 987cc, liquid cooled, double overhead cam, 16 valve inline four cylinder engine that produced 100 bhp at 8000 rpm. It used a five speed transmission and a shaft final drive. The engine sat in a tubular steel space frame. The suspension included a telescopic front and a mono shock rear. Twin disc brakes on the front and a single disc on the rear provided stopping power. The bike was a bit on the heavy side tipping the scales at 570 lbs. While being the sportiest and most powerful bike ever built by BMW, it was still not as powerful or fast as its contemporaries. It didn't possess gobs of torque at low speeds and the engine wasn't a fire breather but it did pull linearly up to its 8500 rpm redline. The bike excelled as a sports tourer and was at its best when traveling long distances at high speeds.

Like its motor, the big BMW's handling was not razor sharp but was adequate enough to get the job done. The K1 was heavy and required a moderate amount of force on the handlebars to turn, which proved to be advantageous for its role as a high speed touring motorcycle. The K1 could go all day on straight or long sweeping curves but when the road got twisty the K1 had to slow its pace to negotiate the turns.

The fairing of the K1 made long distance rides very comfortable. It did an excellent job of diverting the wind. The bike had great fuel economy and a long range. All in all the K1 was a great high speed touring motorcycle but it did have one drawback. It was sorely lacking in luggage space. The BMW K1 was not a pure sports bike but it was a success as a sports touring motorcycle. It was the first motorcycle to break the traditional BMW mold and led to the innovating and exciting bikes the company now makes.
