The relaxed geometry, tighter rider triangle, tuned-for-low-to-mid powerband and R-bike styling make the FZ6R a notable addition to Yamaha’s sportbike

The relaxed geometry, tighter rider triangle, tuned-for-low-to-mid powerband and R-bike styling make the FZ6R a notable addition to Yamaha’s sportbike line-up.
Yamaha breaks down its “sportbike” category into three sub-classes: Supersport, Sport and Sport-Touring. Their research says 60% of its first-time buyers choose a Supersport bike like the R6 and R1, both of which aren’t exactly newbie friendly. Just 32% of these consumers chose an FZ1 or FZ6 from the Sport category.

2009 Yamahas YZF-R1 And FZ6R

While the company's flagship sportbike was heavily updated in '07, Yamaha has further revamped the R1 for '09. The highlight is the use of a "crossplane" crankshaft that spaces the journals at 90-degree intervals as opposed to the traditional 180, giving the engine an uneven firing order. The design is based on experience from the M1 MotoGP program and is said to provide a "more linear driving force in response to throttle movements and more linear controllability when exiting a corner for maximum acceleration."
In a typical engine, vibration is caused by the piston moving up and down, accelerating and decelerating with every stroke. Counterweights on the crankshaft are used to offset some of the weight of the piston, ring and connecting rod assembly, but this simply transforms some of the up/down inertia to a fore/aft direction as the crankshaft spins. Multi-cylinder engines allow each cylinder's inertia to be offset with another's; for example, in an in-line twin-cylinder engine, the rising piston nicely offsets the falling piston, eliminating primary vibrations-those acting at crankshaft speed. Because the cylinders are separated, however, a rocking couple is created. A four-cylinder engine with a conventional crankshaft eliminates that rocking couple because each set of rocking pistons is offset by the second set. There are still secondary vibrations and moments-those acting at twice crankshaft speed-present in a conventionally laid out four-cylinder engine, and these are sometimes dealt with by a small shaft rotating at twice crank speed

Suzuki GSX-R1000

To the team of Suzuki engineers responsible for the GSX-R1000, Own The Racetrack is not just a slogan,it is a way of life.
It's a life dedicated to making the most successful open-class motorcycle in the history of production-basedracing even better. The key is the motorcycle's ability to do precisely what the rider wants, when the riderwants, how the rider wants. Accelerate, brake, corner, repeat. Make it easier for the rider, and the resultswill show.
Once again Suzuki has raised the level of open class sportbike performance. The 2007 Suzuki GSX-R1000,it's the reason why Suzuki riders Own The Racetrack

2007-American-Rockzilla-2

Honda CBR1000RR

The engine was designed specifically with an eye toward handling as well as horsepower and torque. Since the power plant represents a large percentage of a motorcycle's mass, the engine must be configured to assist the handling process, not hinder it. For decades, Honda has championed the concept of mass centralization, that is, concentrating the component masses as close to the motorcycle's center as possible. The CBR1000RR elevated that concept to a higher plane.

Honda CBR600RR

Wrapped around this tiny but powerful engine is an all-new frame, significantly lighter, slimmer, and more compact than that of the 2006 600RR. The frame is produced using what Honda calls Fine Die-Cast (FDC) technology, which allows them to build a lighter frame without compromising strength or rigidity. The reflexes of the new bike are sharpened by its 22 mm (0.87 in) shorter wheelbase, as well as by the designer's focus on strict mass centralization. Despite the shorter wheelbase, the 2007 model's swingarm is actually 5 mm (0.20 in) longer than that of the 2006, made possible by the more compact dimensions of the new bike's engine.

Hammer 1

Whenever marketing folks talk about bold new colors, they're usually covering for the fact that the new model year has little new to offer—except for a change in pigment. By the same token, when a motorcycle manufacturer flies you to Austin for a ride in the Texas Hill Country, you don't expect to hear about bold colors early in the pre-ride technical briefing—if at all—unless, of course, the bike in question is the 2005 Victory Hammer. In the case of the Hammer, the color palate had to be new and particularly bold or it wouldn't live up to the rest of the bike.

Honda dn-01 prototype

The DN-01’s technology theme continues in its brakes. It uses Honda’s Combined Braking System (CBS) plus an anti-lock system. Application of the front brake lever actuates five of six pistons in the dual three-piston front calipers using big 296mm floating front rotors (the same size as a Gold Wing’s!). The rear brake pedal engages a single piston in the left-side front caliper as well as the large 276mm rear disc

Suzuki street fighter alpha

Street Fighter Alpha revamps the Super Combo system introduced in Super Street Fighter II Turbo by adding a three-level Super Combo gauge. Like in Super Turbo, the Super Combo gauge fills in as the player performs regular and special techniques. When the gauge reaches Level 1 or higher, the player can perform one of his or her character's Super Combo techniques

2008 Honda cbr600rr silver

The CBR600's most radical redesign since the introduction of the RR in 2003 is highlighted by a whole new engine, frame, and bodywork that results in a smaller, lighter, more-powerful CBR600RR with a class-leading power-to-weight ratio and unparalleled performance.

2007 Honda CBR600RR

Honda's middleweight sport bike underwent a complete and total redesign for 2007 with reducing the CBR600RR's weight as their primary focus. The result was a 20 lb (9.1 kg) reduction in dry weight over the 2006 model, from 361 lb (163.7 kg) to 341 lb (154.7 kg).

Honda Ev-06

Honda -- please offer this bike for sale in the U.S.! Make sure to keep the styling intact, including the snarling headlight and very well integrated radiator. Touches like the single-sided swingarm, USD fork and dual front disks would be nice too. Follow Suzuki's lead and keep the styling mildly controversial and you've got a winner on your hands.

Yamaha R6

Most engine tuners already knew that there was an inflation factor usually built into most stock tachometer rpm displays, and the "tachometer redline furor" was mostly confined to journalists and chat rooms.

Yamaha Vmax 2007

Yamaha has made history with the V-Max, as for more than 20 years this bike has been viewed as the hottest muscle bike on the market. It has proven to deliver from looks to performance along the way. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is the moderate price of this high performance motorcycle, starting around $17,990. Yamaha also offers a full two year warranty.

KTM Duke 690

KTM, Austria's sports bike maker, is planning to launch its bike as a joint venture with Bajaj in India. Initially KTM will launch Duke 690 in the Indian motorcycle market. KTM Duke 690 will largely be developed at Bajaj’s Chakan, India plant and will be marketed through Bajaj’s Probiking showrooms. This joint venture of KTM and Bajaj may be extended to manufacture scooters as well.
