2010 - Honda VFR series V4 Sports Tourer

The new Sports Tourer from Honda with variable-cylinder engine, which enables the rear bank of cylinders to shut down completely, leaving the bike effectively a parallel twin on light loads, which should dramatically boost fuel economy and emissions performance. This trend with Honda seems to continue from Cars to motorcycles these days. First time we came across variable-cylinder engine was with Honda Accord V6, now its Honda V4 Sports Tourer.

The frame reminiscent of the first ZZR1100’s vast girders – hints at what must be approaching 200bhp potential. Honda goes next with its new V4 platform, what else is special about that V5-derived engine and what it means for the Blackbird and Pan-European.

Yamaha Rhino

Yamaha Rhino 700 FI 4x4 Special Edition Deluxe

The Yamaha Rhino 700 is a powerful, versatile, and easy to ride off road machine with side-by-side seating for two. With ride comfort better tham most ATVs, why sit behind someone with a view of their head, when you can sit comfortably beside them with a view of everything around you.
The Special Edition Deluxe Rhino 700 comes fully loaded with custom water-dip paint, piggy-back clicker shocks, a sporty sun top and rugged over fenders. No other side by side vehicle delivers a charge like this: you get unsurpassed power, handling versatility and convenience.

Features and Benefits:

The Rhino 700 is powered by a fuel injected 686cc 4-stroke engine, similar to the one found in the Grizzly 700. With fuel injection you get better cold starting, and super crisp throttle response. This engine also features roller bearing rocker arms for reduced friction and improved engine performance, with a forged piston and a carburized Chrome-Moly connecting rod for
improved durability.

Fully automatic Ultramatic transmission is the most advanced drive system in the ORV world. Not only is it simple to use select a forward gear, step on the gas pedal and go, but it also provides full engine braking to reduce brake wear.
The Ultramatic CVT system uses a special clutch design, which reduces belt wear since the belt is under constant tension. This system provides superior no-slip performance and significantly reduces belt wear.

Push-button servo-controlled "On-Command" system allows you to switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD - all with the simple push of a dash mounted button. Real 4-wheel drive when you need it.
With Diff-lock engaged, there's no need to wait for one wheel to spin.
You have traction to all 4 wheels, immediately. This puts you in total control... you decide when you need 4 wheel drive... the machine doesn't decide for you.

Light, responsive rack and pinion steering features a fully sealed steering column and double u-jointed steering linkage for smooth action.

A single automotive-style brake pedal activates the dual front and rear disc brakes. This 4 wheel hydraulic disc brake system provides outstanding stopping performance in a variety of conditions. All four discs are tucked out of the way to prevent damage from rocks or stumps.
A mechanical console mounted parking brake with an automotive style lever features a dash
mounted warning light to avoid operating the unit with the parking brake engaged.

Large-capacity aluminum radiator with fan-assist delivers maximum cooling efficiency and is positioned high in the frame for optimal protection.

The air box is now up under the engine cover, located high and out of the way, with the crankcase breather pipe connected to the clean side. This not only reduces intake noise, but also increases water resistance. And the air filter is a foam type for premium filtering performance, that you can clean and reuse.

Sealed drive case (belt case) keeps out water and debris to minimize belt slippage. Special V-belt compartment drain plug requires no tools in the event that water enters the belt case. The frame members around the CVT case are now removable for easier access and improved serviceability

While we moved the air box, we also rerouted the V-belt intake and exhaust ducts. Both are mounted even higher to help reduce the opportunity for water and debris to enter the V-Belt housing.

Specially designed full stainless steel exhaust system features a forked header pipe for maximum power output and a screen type spark arrestor in the uffler to protect "Mother Nature".

Heavy-duty AT25 x 8-12 front and AT25 x 10-12 rear tires provide excellent off road traction and further boost ground clearance.
Note: although these tires look like ATV tires they have a much higher load rating than a standard

ATV tire. And the SE2 version adds aluminum wheels for a little added style.

Revised cargo bed can pack a total of 181kgs (400lbs) of payload. The dumping function is aided by spring loading to make tipping the dump box easier. The outside panels of the box are plastic to resist dents and rust. The inner box rear has been redesigned using fewer parts for a cleaner look. There are 4 tie points inside the cargo bed to insure load security.

Heavy duty rubber cargo bed mat helps to protect the cargo bed from scratches and dents.

Convenient, quick remove tailgate is supported by detachable "lanyards" just like a pick-up truck. The gate travel is limited by the lanyards.

Center mounted automotive style trailer hitch receiver is located at the rear of the frame. Towing capacity is 550kgs or 1212 lbs.

Large, specially designed bucket seats are extra plush and supportive for all-day driver and passenger comfort. Each seat has a small drain hole to allow water drainage in the event the unit is stored outside.
Full length heavy duty three piece skid plate and a heavy-duty front bumper protects the frame and lower components of the Rhino from rocks, logs and stumps. Rugged, large size plastic front and rear fenders with inner guards offer excellent mud/splash protection.

High tech, console mounted digital LCD meter with fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, hour meter, clock, battery voltmeter, 4WD status, transmission gear indicator, and Parking Brake indicator.

EICMA cafe racer in 2009 BMW Concept 6

BMW introduced the concept of inline six-cylinder EICMA cafe racer in 2009 shows in Milan, Italy.

Inline-six engine has a point in the BMW cars for decades and the German motorcycle manufacturer division to take the challenge to match a straight six and a bike without making too long or too wide. The result is the BMW Motorrad Concepts 6, and an evolution of BMW says "will expand the K-Series in the near future".

6 The concept of the machine is about four inches slimmer than the production of the BMW inline-six engine, so only a little wider than a large capacity four. To keep down the wide, the machine has a relatively long stroke with a very small gap between the cylinders. Ancillaries and components of electric vehicles are behind them on the crankshaft and transmission to minimize the width of the machine further.

The BMW Concept 6

BMW engineers also tried to keep the weight low by using hollow-drilled camshafts and light connecting rods. The engine’s weight is also distributed so that a balance shaft and its drive elements are not necessary.

Like the straight-four in the K1300 series, the Concept 6’s engine is tilted forward 55 degrees for added balance and a low center of gravity. The tilted engine also provides space for an aerodynamically positioned intake manifold above the engine.

The inline six engine may be powerplant for future K-Series motorcycles.

A design sketch points out features such as the intake manifold. Click on the picture to see a larger version.

The Concept 6’s engine uses dry sump lubrication, keeping the crankcase low and flat. Without an oil sump, the engine can be placed lower in the frame than otherwise.

According to BMW, the six-cylinder engine produces power in the same range as its 1.3-liter straight four engines. The difference will be in the torque, which will be comparable to the largest motorcycle engines. BMW says will be the six-cylinder will offer 96 ft-lb. at 2,000 rpm with revs reaching nearly 9,000 rpm.

BMW describes the Concept 6 as a mix of classic and modern styling and an evolution of the café racer.

The “split face” design element found in other BMW bikes such as the S1000RR divides the Concept 6 into three sections, extending from the front of the fairing to the carbon-fiber fuel tank. LED headlights further accentuate the split face element.

Suspension is built around a light-alloy bridge frame with Duolever and Paralever arms for both front and rear. The 17-inch HP forged wheels are equipped with an extra-large brake system using six-piston fixec calipers.

BMW says a rev counter is unnecessary for the Concept 6.

The instrument panel uses a minimalist design without a rev counter. BMW says the rev counter was intentionally omitted because the engine produces a “supreme flow of power at all speeds”. Instead of a displaying the revs, the LED display shows how much torque is available.

2010 Yamaha WR250X Supermoto Feature

Features and Benefits (USA):


Key Features:

• Directly descended from our YZ motocrossers and WR off-road machines-even the original Yamaha YA-1 of 1955-the WR250X is here to make Yamaha's off-road prowess street accessible.
• Not exactly an enduro, a supermoto or a sportbike, the WR250X is for riders who ride mostly paved surfaces. Its sibling, the off-road inspired WR250R, is for riders who spend more time in the dirt.
  

Engine:

• 250cc liquid-cooled, DOHC engine with two titanium intake valves and two steel exhausts, forged piston and plated cylinder for outstanding durability.
• Pentroof combustion chamber with downdraft-type straight intake helps make excellent power across the rev band, with maximum power at 10,000 rpm.
• First use of fuel injection on a 250 Yamaha on/off-road bike. The system relies on input from a crank sensor, intake air pressure sensor and throttle position sensor feeding a compact ECU to provide optimum combustion.
• An ECU-controlled EXUP® exhaust valve, along with an electronic intake control valve, broadens the powerband.
• High lift cams have WPC surface treatment in which the surface is sprayed with fine powder at over 100 meters per second to increase surface hardness.
• Three-axis engine layout keeps the engine compact. Wet sump tucks between frame rails to keep the engine height down.
• Rare earth-type ACM alternator keeps the weight down while providing all the current needed to run the FI and lighting systems.
• Direct ignition coil sits atop the spark plug-another first on a Yamaha on/off-road model.
• Six-speed gearbox provides a wide spread of ratios, with shower-type lubrication for reliability. Special, light-action clutch makes shifting a snap.
• Tucked-in, three-chamber muffler helps keep mass centralized and the bike quiet.
• Electric start only: Leaving off the kickstarter keeps it light and simple.
  

Chassis/Suspension:

• 17-inch wheels mount radial street rubber in 110 front and 140mm rear widths and help lower the seat approximately 1.4 inch compared to the WR250R.
• One-tooth smaller rear sprocket (13/42) works with the smaller-diameter tires to bring out the WR250X's strong accelerating character.
• Stiffer springs front and rear and street-oriented damping settings reduce pitch compared to the WR250R for excellent pavement performance.
• YZ/WR250-inspired semi-double-cradle frame uses a main frame of cast and forged aluminum sections, with high-strength steel downtube for excellent strength and rigidity characteristics.
• Asymmetrical swingarm provides excellent strength/rigidity balance and a dynamic look. Cast aluminum crossmembers, extruded arms and a 22mm rear axle are carefully tuned for optimum handling.
• Fully adjustable 46mm fork provides 10.6 inches of wheel travel. A forged lower triple clamp and a cast upper one help give outstanding front-end feel. An aluminum steering stem reduces weight.
• Linkage-mounted rear shock provides 10.4 inches of travel with adjusters for compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload-and features a 14mm rod and 46mm cylinder for excellent damping and fade resistance.
• Wave brake rotors front and rear, including a large, 298mm front disc, reduce unsprung weight and provide excellent performance. Rear pedal is forged aluminum.
  

Additional Features:

• A slim, steel fuel tank is shaped with knee grip in mind, and the entire ergonomic layout is designed to make the rider feel like part of the bike.
• Narrow, YZ-inspired seat features gripper-type cover for great seat-of-the-pants feel. Seat height is 35.2 inches.
• WR enduro-style instrument panel provides excellent visibility in spite of the compact size. Basic mode provides speed, clock, tripmeter and self-diagnostic function. Measurement mode includes stopwatch, distance-compensating tripmeter, etc.
  
• Minimalist front and rear fenders are designed for function, simplicity and lightness.
• Bodywork with separate radiator heat outlet helps keep engine and rider cool.
• Lightweight headlight and LED taillight maximize visibility and draw less current.
• Separate clutch cover means easier serviceability.
• One-screw air filter serviceability.
• Adjustable front brake lever.
