Best Standard Motor For 2013

Honda describes the CB1100 as a fresh take on the timeless, air-cooled four-cylinder performance machine. With its across-the-frame engine, chromed steel fenders, twin-shock rear suspension, diving-board-flat saddle and relatively narrow 18-inch wheels, the CB1100 certainly resembles the Universal Japanese Motorcycles that were so popular in the mid-to-late 1970s and early 80s.

Winner of 2013 Grand Prix

MotoGP 2013 Season started with night race at Qatar Grand Prix. Next race falls on 21. of April and it is Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas, where it is expected that things shake up a bit and those riders which underachieved in last race, make bigger effort to be more successful this time. Jorge Lorenzo took first place in Qatar night race, with Valentino Rossi in second in front of Marc Marquez who ended race third placed. It is interesting that first four places are taken by just two teams.

The Replica of the 1885 Daimler-Maybah Reitwagen

A motorcycle, where its origin is a bicycle with front and rear wheels of the same size and a pedal crank mechanism to drive the rear wheel. However, there is no actual record on who invented it as there are numbers of engineers all over Europe with almost same alike creation.

Wear It

Helmets save motorcycle riders' lives. And universal helmet laws, which require that every motorcycle rider and passenger wear a helmet whenever they ride, can increase helmet use and save money, according to a new CDC study. Good news is that riders’—and their passengers’—can protect themselves by wearing helmets. Helmets are estimated to prevent 37 percent of crash deaths among motorcycle riders and 41 percent of crash deaths for motorcycle passengers.

Horex VR6

The Horex VR6 Roadster is, at its core, a teutonic bruiser that has no peers in the market. Sure there are big naked muscle bikes available from other brands but none offer the technical prowess of an ultra-compact and powerful six-cylinder powerplant. Nor do they offer the cachet and hand-assembled quality of the Horex. While the initial specs might have seemed improbable, the VR6 is here and is in showrooms more or less as-promised, a testament to the determination and skill of the company’s team in bringing such an advanced and unusual design to production in a relatively short period of time. Many brands have failed while offering far less exotic products, but Horex has weathered the initial doubts to produce one of the most interesting production machines to come out of Germany in a long time. 


Not only that, the VR6 adds another machine to the pantheon of legendary six-cylinder motorcycles, a rarified breed of exercises in engineering excess. Had Horex gone the conservative route and built a traditional four-cylinder roadster of similar specs, we wouldn’t be talking about it today, and you likely wouldn’t be drooling over it right now. If you want to get an inordinate amount of attention in the world of motorcycling, you must build a six. 

Piston engine layouts typically fall into three categories: inline, vee, and flat/boxer. The one setup you won’t find very often is the narrow-angle vee (or staggered cylinder) layout. Lancia was a pioneer of the format, introducing the 13-degree “Lambda” V-4 in 1922, and produced a series of narrow-angle designs up until the 1970s. A typical vee will have anything between 45 (Harley-Davidson V-twin) and 90 degree (Ducati L-twin). A narrow-angle vee (below 45 degrees) is so compact that both “banks” of cylinders can share the same block with a common cylinder head, making for a much more compact and lightweight package. You essentially combine the qualities of an inline engine with those of a vee – the block is as short as a vee, scarcely wider than an inline across the head, and shares the balance properties of an inline design. You get more cylinders into a much more compact package, with less complexity than a typical vee by combining the heads and block into a single unit.

Yamaha YZ250


 For years we have been waiting for the day that the Yamaha YZ250F would be fuel injected. As the first company to produce a 250cc four-stroke, it was a little puzzling to us that Yamaha took until 2014 to release an EFI-equipped machine, but as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. For this initial test, Yamaha invited the media out to Glen Helen and allowed us three hours of riding aboard a pre-production model of the new bike. Later this year, we will have the full intro and bike test for you. For now, though, here is our initial impression.

 For 2014, Yamaha has unveiled an all-new YZ250F complete with the same technology as its bigger brother the YZ450F, featuring an all-new chassis, a reversed motor, and new suspension components. Much like the YZ450F, Yamaha’s main focus with the YZ250F was mass centralization and improved handling. The motor on the YZ250F is reversed and more compact than ever before. It also comes complete with EFI and can be tuned by using the aftermarket GYTR Power Tuner. Complimenting the new motor is a new exhaust system that wraps around the cylinder and is tucked in further behind the side panel thereby moving the exhaust closer to the center of gravity. The new chassis is the same design as the YZ450F and is completely new when compared to the 2013 model. Due to the new chassis, the suspension components are new with the forks receiving new inner and outer tubes along with new settings. The rear shock has a new reservoir location to allow for clearance for the exhaust system. The shock also received new settings to work harmoniously with the forks. Carrying over from last year, the bike comes standard with over-sized bars, adjustable bar clamps, and high-quality brakes and wheels.
 
 When compared to the 2013 model, the new YZ250F is vastly different and much improved. The bike feels comfortable when you first sit on it, and the flat seat and rider compartment make it very easy to move around on. On the track, the new chassis and suspension give the bike a lightweight feel that is more connected to the track than the ’13 machine. In the air, the bike is very light and easy to throw around, yet it stays planted down rough straights or when entering corners. We did have to slow the rebound down and stiffen the shock to get the bike to remain planted in the corners, but after that it turned much better. Unlike the YZ450F, the YZ250F doesn’t feel as light on the front end—perhaps due to the lighter weight and smaller power plant.

About Off Road

There are various types of off-road motorcycles, also known as 'dirt bikes', specially designed for off-road events. Compared to road-going motorcycles, off-road machines are simpler and lighter, having long suspension travel, high ground clearance, and rugged construction with little bodywork and no fairings for less damage in spills. Wheels (usually 21" front, 18" rear) have knobby tires, often clamped to the rim with a rim lock.

There are specialized motorcycles for a variety of off-road motorcycle sports:

  • Motocross — Such bikes (once called "scramblers") are raced on short, closed off-road tracks with a variety of obstacles. The motorcycles have a small fuel tank for lightness and compactness. Long-travel suspension allows riders to take jumps at high speed. Motocross engines are usually single-cylinder two-stroke or four-stroke units, which vary in size from 50cc up to about 650cc. Motocross sidecar outfits have bigger engines, usually four-stroke and often twin-cylinder. Motocross bikes are also used in Freestyle Motocross.
  •  
  • Enduro — A modified and road-legal motocross bike, having the addition of a horn, lights, effective silencing and a number plate. Enduro riders compete over a longer course (which 
  • may include roads); and an enduro event may last between one day and six days (such as the ISDE). Some enduro events (known as "multi-lappers") are held on rather shorter circuits, not unlike scramble tracks. "Multilappers" are especially popular with novice riders.
  •  
  • Rally raid, or Rallies — A special type of enduro bike but with a significantly larger fuel tank for very long distance racing, typically through deserts (e.g. Paris-Dakar rally). Engine capacities tend to be larger, usually between 450 cc and 750 cc.
  •  
  • Trail —A trail bike is a dual-purpose bike, made for on-road and recreational off-road riding. A trail bike may resemble an enduro bike, but since a trail bike is not intended to be used for competition, it may be (i) less rugged, and (ii) equipped with dual-purpose tyres and with more road legal equipment, such as indicators, mirrors and extra instruments.
  •  
  • Trials — Trials riding is a specialized form of off-road competition testing balancing skills and precision rather than speed. For a trials bike, low weight and crisp throttle response power are the priorities, so a trials bike tends to have a small (125 cc to 300 cc) engine, two-strokes being common. During the trial, the rider stands on the footpegs, so a trials bike will have only a vestigial seat, or even no seat at all. Fuel tanks are very small, giving a very limited range. A trials outfit comprises a very light sidecar and an almost standard trials bike.
  •  
  • Track racing — High-speed oval racing, typically with no brakes, nor rear suspension. The engines, fuelled by methanol, are long-stroke four-stroke singles, such as JAP or Jawa. They have at most two gears. Some types, such as speedway & grass-track bikes, are designed to take left turns only

Honda Grom. Small, Slow And Tons of Fun


It looks like a toy. The Grom is so small, cars have driven into the shoulder to pass me, even though I was moving at speed with traffic. I can only assume the size of the bike made them think it was more of a toy than a "real" motorcycle. Twice, police cars followed me a while to run the tag, presumably, to make sure the bike is legit for the road. One officer shook his head at me before speeding off.

The Honda Grom is on the right
  • Easy to steal. When parking the bike in the city, I feel I chain and lock it to the lamppost. I didn't like having it out of sight for too long, fearing some able-bodied, malicious-minded person would lift it up, drop it in a pickup and take off. Yes, it's really that light.
  •  No cargo space. If you are considering this bike as an economy commuter over a scooter, one thing to keep in mind is storage. Most scooters have ample space under the seat. The Grom has none. So if you want to do some quick grocery shopping, bring a backpack. However, from a pure riding perspective, the Grom will feel much more stable at speed and it will take corners better.
  •  If you want a commuter for longer trips on high-speed roads, you'll need to look at something with a bigger engine. It's a great bike to learn on and at around $3,000 new, it's not likely to break your bank. American Honda says it chose the name Grom because it means a young surfer and fit the lifestyle and intent of the bike. The Grom is offered in red and black, and several after-market parts are already available.

Few streetbikes are as accessible to the beginner while simultaneously tickling an advanced rider’s funnybone. I know I’m sort of an old dude because when the Grom speaks to me it sounds like Jeff Spicoli, the laid-back surf dude in the ’80s classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High: “Hey Bud, let’s party!”
But no matter your age, the Grom is ready for fun.

2012 Yamaha Super Tenere


Yamaha's oddly named Super Tenere is pronounced "Tey-ney-rey," and though the bike's lineage spans nearly three decades and includes twin-cylinder ancestors like the XTZ750 Super Tenere (which claimed six Paris to Dakar Championships), the all-new 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere marks the model's debut in the United States.
The Super Tenere is powered by an all-new 1,199cc parallel twin that sports dual
counterbalancers and a 270 degree crank. The crossplane crankshaft is also found in the "Big Bang" Yamaha R1, and its uneven firing interval aids traction while adding character to the engine's exhaust note. Though official output hasn't been released for the US-spec bike, it shouldn't stray far from the European-spec model's 108 horsepower figure. A side-mounted radiator enables a shorter wheelbase and better weight distribution, and fuel capacity is a bladder-busting 6.1 gallons. The engine can be run in one of two modes: "Sport," for a sharper throttle response, or "Touring," which is less aggressive. Those modes can be switched while riding as long as the throttle is closed. The Super Tenere's traction control system detects speed differences between the front and rear wheel every 1/1000th of a second and modulates throttle response, ignition timing, and the volume of fuel injected into the engine. Traction control operates in one of three modes: "1" (more intrusive), "2" (slightly less intrusive), or "Off." The riding modes remain in place when the bike is shut off, but the traction control automatically resets to mode "1" for safety.


Something that’s noticeably absent on the street-oriented Ducati Multistrada 1200, the Yamaha Super Ténéré is more than at home anywhere in the rev range, including the 1,000-3,000 RPM band, making slow speed maneuvers effortless and stumble free. It really is hard to convey how important this aspect of the Super T is when traveling through slow-speed traffic or tackling technical dirt sections. In what would have been an exercise in clutch and throttle control on the Ducati’s over-square v-twin motor, the Super Ténéré’s longer stroke, 270° firing order, and superb fuel management allows for one to keep the bike in virtually any of the first three gears at slower speeds without stumbling, thus allowing the rider to focus on more important things like not falling off the side of a cliff for example.
