CBR1000RR

CBR1000RR is the lightest, most compact, and best performing motorcycle in its class, making it the standard against which all other literbikes are measured. And for 2009, it’s available with Honda’s high-tech electronically controlled Combined ABS for the ultimate in sport bike braking performance.

Performance and style. No two elements are more important on a sportbike, and the Honda CBR1000RR has them both in spades. Of course, when a bike is bred on the racetracks of the world using DNA gleaned from Honda's MotoGP championship-winning machines, would you expect anything but the best? And the CBR backs it up, packing state-of-the-art features like our available Electronic Combined Anti-lock Braking System (C-ABS) and the revolutionary Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) that leave other literbikes on the trailer. Winning Road Racing World's “2009 1000cc Shootout” merely confirmed the CBR1000RR's supremacy, with 2010 certain to continue its legacy of class-defining power, light weight, handling and looks (checkout the three stunning colors).

Yamaha Stryker

Befitting a bike of the custom cruiser genre, the Stryker boasts raked out front forks with a large 21-inch front wheel, a chunky 210-section rear wheel, and the fuel tank features flame decals to add to its take-no-prisoners attitude. Low bars, minimalist fenders and a low-slung one-piece seat also contribute to the custom chopper look.

The dual exhaust pipes have been thoughtfully bent to improve aesthetics and the front and rear wheel guards are made from steel.

The 2011 Yamaha Stryker's rear brake light is comprised of LEDs and it's possible that the design may have more appeal than the Honda Fury with its plastic rocker covers. Colours include Impact blue, Reddish copper and Raven black.

• 1304cc (80 cubic inch), liquid-cooled, short stroke, SOHC, 4-valve per cylinder, fuel injected, 60° V-twin powerplant pumps out impressive power and torque for excellent cruising performance.

• Uneven firing interval, bore & stroke dimensions and special ignition & injection mapping all contribute to excellent torque output and that classic V-twin pulse feeling

• Liquid-cooling not only allows for higher state of tune because it maintains more stable operating temperatures, but also reduces mechanical noise for a quieter engine.

• In an effort to maintain the classic air-cooled appearance of the engine, cooling fins have been added as a styling highlight.

• The short stroke engine design reduces the “height” of the engine, while the 60 degree “V” makes the engine more compact thereby centralizing mass and lowering the center of gravity for lighter, more responsive handling.

• One-piece cylinder heads feature 4-valves per cylinder to provide optimum breathing efficiency for maximum power output.

• Stylish chromed cylinder head covers.

• The SOHC valve train features 36mm intake and 32mm exhaust valves with special single coil springs for great power and torque. Valves angles are set at 20 degrees from centre.

• Specially designed roller rockers activate the valves. The rocker system allows a greater amount of valve lift without causing excessive camshaft wear and friction. The slipper portion of the rocker arm features a needle bearing which reduces wear and slide resistance (friction). The camshafts have been specially designed for use with roller rockers.

• Mikuni dual bore, 40mm throttle body fuel injection system with TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and ISC (Idle Speed Control). This is a “closed loop” system that utilizes an oxygen sensor in the exhaust. The sensor “sniffs” the spent exhaust gases and feeds back info to the ECU which in turn adjusts the fuel/air mixture for maximum power with minimum emissions. The oxygen sensor is located before the mufflers, so the use of slip-on mufflers will not affect this system. Each injector features 12 holes and a dual spray pattern for better fuel atomization and more complete combustion chamber filling. There is one injector per cylinder. Fuel injection benefits include improved fuel economy; choke less operation, reduced emissions, and smoother running.

• High pressure fuel pump is located in a separate sub tank below the seat.

• 2 into 1 into 2 exhaust system features dual slash cut mufflers which provide a specially developed exhaust note that accentuates the V-Twin rumble. The engineers call it the “sound of acceleration”.

• A 3-way honeycomb catalyzer is located at the entry point to the mufflers. The catalyzer reduces harmful exhaust emissions.

• Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission with 5th gear o

Honda CBR1000RR ABS

Honda CBR1000RR ABS features Honda's electronic Combined ABS. This all-new ECU-controlled, hydraulically actuated system provides accurate braking force distribution to both wheels. ABS is controlled by a hydroelectronic unit and stroke simulator to ensure precise operation. Benefits include consistent lever pressure without the pulsing often associated with ABS systems. Application of rear brake does not result in immediate front brake activation unless lock-up is sensed, allowing an experienced rider to use rear brake in a normal manner during spirited riding. Combined ABS components are smaller and lighter than conventional hydraulic ABS designs, and have been located nearer to the center of the machine, enhancing mass centralization and reducing unsprung weight.
- Super-light aluminum-alloy hollow-spoke wheels feature race-spec 3.5 x 17-inch front and 6.0 x 17-inch rear dimensions.
- Centrally mounted 4.7-gallon fuel tank is positioned low in the frame, increasing mass centralization and allowing a more compact design. This design positions the rider farther forward for optimum handling.

Kawasaki GPZ500S

The GPZ 500 has been being manufactured since 1987 and suffered no major changes over the years. The bike was also known as GPX 500R, EX 500, Ninja 500 and Ninja 500R.

The Kawasaki GPZ500S begs to be revved, adopting a banshee-style wail to accompany super fast acceleration over 7000rpm. Down low the Kawasaki GPZ500S can be a bit lumpy but it’s not a major flaw. Smooth and reliable, owners of the Kawasaki GPZ500S describe it as “bullet proof”. You could be hard-pushed not to think it was a four.

Really old Kawasaki GPZ500S's tend to look a bit ragged: suspension, brakes and bodywork need particular attention. However, overall build quality of the Kawasaki GPZ500S is good and the engine’s reliability is without question. High mileages are common but check for dents and bumps: many Kawasaki GPZ500S are ex-learner or courier bikes.

Following the footsteps of the R1, Yamaha introduced the first R6 in 1999. In was a light (429.9 lbs wet weight) and powerful (120 hp at 13,000 rpm) middleweight super sport motorcycle which could do 155.3 mph if you’d dare challenge it. The carbureted 599 cc liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder; DOHC, 16-valves engine was a real revver, but still managed 68 Nm at 11,500 rpm so the immense potential of this bike was soon spotted by riders who had seen enough of the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R and Suzuki GSX-R600.

The updated 2001 Yamaha YZF-R6 featured a quick-release number plate hanger and LED taillights. Yamaha didn’t intervene at performance figures so the 2001 model year was just a cooler, but not angrier R6.

But 2003 was the year of changes for the notorious model and the fuel-injection system, swingarm, five-spoke wheels and a revised frame surely suited it well. Still, horsepower and torque didn’t increase with much, but how easy the power was obtained and put on the track was the most important advantage.

In 2006, Yamaha launched an all-new R6 which wasn’t just a race replica, but a true racing bike with headlights, mirrors and street rubber. They aimed towards perfection and the sharp new bike looked like nothing ever seen before. This is when the R6 got the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle systems and the 600cc engine’s performance went above the 130 hp psychological limit (131 hp at 14,500 rpm) while torque was still 68 Nm but at 6,930.

The 2008 model year was only left to feature the Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake as a new, cool system and it did, making the Yamaha R6 the most sophisticated middleweight super sport bike out there.
