Kawasaki KX 85

Kawasaki KX 85 is an emerging racer’s dream. Powered by a liquid-cooled, two-stroke, single-cylinder 84 cc engine that churns out an abundance of race-winning power, the KX85 is packed with high-tech features, such as an Electrofusion-coated cylinder with a narrow squish band and large volume combustion chamber to enhance top-end power.

Fuel delivery for the engine is provided by a 28 mm carburetor that features a crescent-slide to position the needle closer to the intake ports. A Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve System (KIPS®) and exhaust pipe capped with a KX™250-style muffler contribute to the KX85’s tractable powerband, which provides control for riders of varying skill levels.

Kawasaki racing development program has become one of the most successful in history of motocross thanks in large part the success of KX85 and affiliation with names such as Carmichael and Stewart. There is nothing wrong to get your bike champion the future at an early age and Kawasaki has succeeded in doing that for more than a decade.

APRILIA SMV 750

APRILIA SMV 750 Dorsoduro claims to set new standards for a road-going supermoto. And with four world supermoto titles Aprilia should know how to build one.

While many manufacturers fall into the trap of claiming their bikes are uncompromising yet utterly versatile and suited to all types of rider, Aprilia has gone the other way. They seem to be saying, we built this bike to be the best at what it's designed to do, and as a consequence don't expect it to do all this other stuff. I sort of believe them.

The SMV 750 Dorsoduro is Aprilia's new, road-going supermoto. In one sense, it looks a bit like their existing Shiver model, and indeed it shares some components. It's powered by a 750cc, 90°, V-twin motor, producing 92hp (as opposed to the Shiver's 95hp), runs a second-generation version of their ride-by-wire throttle system and takes all its design cues from a supermoto rather than a naked street-bike.

Power Ninja ZX-6R

Power Ninja ZX-6R is a sport motorbike manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The GPZ900R was the first of the Ninja series that is still going as of 2010. In 1995 the ZX-6R was added to the lineup, and is also still in production.

Ninja Kawasaki ZX-6R’s lean physique is fundamental to its light handling, with every component on the bike carefully scrutinized for minimal weight. The intake resonator box and supports for the instrument panel and mirrors are unitized with the enlarged —to optimize intake volume — Ram Air duct, contributing to weight savings and improving rigidity. Camshafts are made of lightweight chrome-moly steel, and light, magnesium engine covers all add up to big weight savings, along with transmission, oil pump and starter gears carefully engineered for maximum strength and minimal weight.

Along with its light weight and compact design, the NinjaZX-6R engine is packed with details to give it precise throttle control and amazing performance, particularly in the mid-range. Smooth power delivery is achieved through outstanding combustion efficiency. Cylindrical guides in the top of the airbox guide the fuel charge into the intake funnels to reduce buffeting and improve cylinder filling, along with advanced cylinder porting techniques. High-current secondaries in the ignition coils provide hot, consistent sparks at all rpm.

In addition to its more than healthy bottom-end torque and smooth throttle response, the engine’s mid-range performance benefits from a similar number of refinements, including double-bore velocity stacks with inlets at two different heights, special-profile pistons with low piston-ring tension for reduced friction, and advanced cam chain guides for excellent cam-chain stabilization.

The inline-four engine produces a maximum 125 horsepower at 13,000 rpm and 49.4 foot-pounds of torque at 11,000 rpm. This engine has a displacement of 38.8 cubic inches and a 12.8:1 compression ratio. There are four valves per cylinder and the valve configuration is a double overhead camshaft. The cylinders have a 2.7 inch diameter and each pistons travels a total 1.7 inches. A liquid cooling system maintains the temperature of the four-stroke engine. Fuel is injected with the aid of 1.5-inch throttle bodies. The vehicle uses a digital ignition system and electric starter. It also uses a six-speed transmission with chain final drive. 79.7 inches long, 23.8 inches wide and 43.7 inches high, with a wheelbase measuring 55.1 inches. Its seat is positioned by 32.5 inches from the ground and it clears the ground by 5.1 inches. Excluding its liquids, such as oil and fuel, the Kawasaki weighs in at 354.9 pounds. The gas tank capacity is 4.8 gallons. The front tire measures 4.7 inches wide with a 3.1-inch sidewall height, and it fits a 17-inch diameter wheel. The back wheel is identical to the front but the tire is thicker, standing at 7.1 inches wide with a 3.9-inch high sidewall.

CBR1000RR

CBR1000RR is a perfect example of typical Honda industry-leading innovation. Combining tons of power, light weight, and refined, responsive handling with drop-dead good looks, it’s equally at home carving your favorite canyon as it is collecting wins on World Superbike podiums. That's the CBR1000RR—the ultimate liter-class sportbike experience.

Stop That! - The CBR1000RR (along with the CBR600RR) are breaking new ground by offering one of the most innovative braking systems ever: Honda’s revolutionary Combined ABS.

Combined Anti-Lock Braking (C-ABS) - All-new, electronically controlled Combined ABS distributes brake force over both wheels, helping to maintain braking confidence in less than ideal conditions. Electronic measurement of rider input on each brake lever permits application of only the front or rear brake in some cases, while the system combines both brakes in others.

Unit Pro-Link Suspension - By eliminating the frame-mounted top shock mount, Unit Pro-Link isolates the chassis from bumps, resulting in more precise handling and better traction. Developed on Honda's championship-winning MotoGP bikes, it's a perfect example of the CBR's superior engineering.

MotoGP-Style Exhaust - The CBR1000RR's lowboy muffler not only looks cool and sounds great, it also offers a handling advantage by moving the silencer lower and closer to the bike's center of mass. GP bikes do that to make the machines more responsive, and you get the same benefit with the CBR1000RR.

Slipper Clutch - The CBR1000RR uses a patented slipper-clutch design with a special cam-assist mechanism for easier actuation. That means you get a light feel at the lever, the feedback a cable system provides, and all the backtorque-limiting benefits a slipper clutch provides.

Twin-Spar Aluminum Chassis - By varying the wall thickness of the chassis' main elements, our engineers can fine-tune chassis rigidity precisely, and in individual areas. You get a frame that offers the perfect balance of a stable riding platform but with no harshness.

Dual-Stage Fuel Injection - Two injectors per cylinder – one primary and one secondary – controlled by an ECU that senses RPM and throttle opening, ensure both low- and high-rpm performance. You get near instantaneous high-rpm response, along with great low-rpm metering and clean running.

Centrally Located Fuel Tank - Centrally located fuel tank increases mass centralization for a more compact frame design.

Idle Air Control Valve - Idle air control valve minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when throttle is opened and closed.

Two-Stage Ram Air - Nose mounted, two-stage ram air system provides a high volume of cool air to the airbox, for linear power delivery and superb engine performance.

Honda Multi-Action System (HMAS) Inverted Fork - The HMAS cartridge fork features an exclusive internal piston construction. This innovative design employs smaller-diameter pistons to keep oil velocity high for improved damping characteristics and an expanded range of adjustability. The result: you get more precise suspension performance, especially over smaller surface irregularities.

Radial Front-Brake Calipers - The CBR1000RR's radial-mounted monoblock front-brake calipers are stiffer, for better brake feel and performance. Each caliper uses four chromium-plated aluminum pistons that squeeze lightweight 320mm floating discs for exceptional stopping power.
