Suzuki GSV-R Motorcycle



Suzuki GSV-R Motorcycle
Suzuki stole a march on their MotoGP rivals in Malaysia last month when wild card Nobuatsu Aoki raced a prototype version of the 2008 GSV-R machine.The new machine featured all-new bodywork and chassis, and a brutally loud exposed under seat exhaust system, although Nobuatsu Aoki didn’t race a new engine designed for more top speed and horsepower which is still not fully developed.
Japanese rider Nobuatsu Aoki has tested the new motor in Japan, but alarmingly so far results had not been as successful as anticipated, with the 2008 engine no more powerful in its current guise than this year’s V4 motor.

Honda CBR 125 2008





Honda CBR 125 2008
Meet the new CBR125R, which is set to take up from where the NSR left off. The new 4-stroke 125cc replacement is sure to appeal to a wider segment of new and young riders looking for some competitive spice in their first real motorcycle.

Honda vfr 800 V Tec





Honda vfr 800 V Tec
The issue has taken time to resolve, but the solution is clever. Previously the VTEC equipped VFR ran on two valves per cylinder below 6800rpm, and four above. Now the motor switches to four valves at 6600rpm and back to two at 6100. Mechanically the system is identical to old (an oil pressure actuated pin moves into a chamber above the valve stem to engage the valve, and moves out to disengage), but the really clever stuff is electronic.

Honda Lcr Motor Sport

Among them was the No.27 machine belonging to team LCR and ridden by hotshot rookie Casey Stoner. Having battled with Daniel Pedrosa for the 250cc championship in 2005, Stoner also stepped up to the MotoGP class in 2006 and wasted no time in showing the world what he was capable of, taking pole position at Round 2 Losail and a 2nd place finish at Round 3 Istanbul.

We are satisfied with the progress of the RC212V prototype. Under the leadership of Takanori Okuma, the project team has remained well on schedule with the development and testing programme set by HRC. We are confident that winter testing will be positive and look forward to being competitive in this exciting new era for MotoGP.

2009 Royal Enfield trials EFI

















The Royal Enfield Trials gets the new fuel injected engine for 2009 boosting power output to 27.5 HP in standard form. This is Royal Enfield’s new fuel injected unit construction engine which is lighter and more efficient than the original motor.

The EFI version features braced ‘scrambles’ handlebars, alloy mudguards and matching bash plate, new tail light and solo seat. Updates for 2009 include vintage style block pattern trials tyres and a mini luggage rack, for which an optional pillion seat pad is available.

The upswept sports silencer fitted to the Trials bike, which is shorter and lighter than the standard part, has been re-engineered to work in harmony with the engine management unit, allowing the engine to breathe more freely and features a heat shield too.

Ride safe.
