2010 Kawasaki ZZR 1400 ZX-14

2010 KAWASAKI ZZR 1400 ZX-14
The mission of Kawasaki's flagship Ninja® ZXTM-14 is not unlike that of an exotic supercar - to project the awesome power and technology of its parent company in rapid fashion, every time the throttle is twisted. It may not cost a million dollars or have a V-12 engine, but the ZX-14's 1352cc fuel-injected inline-four is the closest thing on two wheels. Its monocoque chassis and wind-tunnel developed body represent the cutting edge of sportbike design. The ZX-14's systems are designed to allow riders to exploit the full potential of man and machine, while effortlessly dispatching all challengers.

Despite ever-tightening noise and emissions regulations; the ZX-14 has continued to set the pace of sportbike excellence ever since its domineering debut. Intake and exhaust systems permit it to comply with strict emissions and noise regulations, even as its massive low-end torque, mid-range thrust and legendary Ninja peak power place it at the top of the sportbike food chain.

Secondary air ports in the cylinder head and its cover flow clean air into the exhaust system and boost the efficiency of the three honeycomb catalyzers employed in the exhaust system. These devices, combined with a wide dispersal of atomized fuel from the fine-atomizing fuel injectors and optimized flow characteristics through the intakes, allow the ZX-14's 1352cc engine to offer strong performance, yet still meet the toughest motorcycle emissions regulations.

 SPECIFICATIONS Minerva R150 VX
One small player motorcycle manufacturers Indonesia, PT Minerva Motor Indonesia (MMI), try to reach or try some Indonesian motorcycle market, estimated this year reached 6.5 million units. According to the President Director of PT MMI Kristianto Goenadi, at a news conference after the launch of new products in JIExpo, Kemayoran, Jakarta, Tuesday (4/27/2010), hoping that this year sales increases.

Last year, Minerva Sachs-by-confessed German name could sell 49 000 units for the various types. By launching its newest product, R150 VX, Kristianto estimates, sales this year reached 66 000 units. Last year, Minerva only sold 49 000 units. As for sales in the first quarter of 2010 had reached 16 800 units.

"Until the end of the year, we hope to sell 30 000 units of this new product," said Kristianto. Her belief was based on a new product which experienced a total change and appear more stylish and fierce. In addition, sales of Minerva has been obtained from more motor sport.

"We really focus on a sport bike," said Kristianto. It is proved from 60 percent of total sales contributed by R150 VX Minerva. Meanwhile, the types of sports with 250 cc engines get 30 percent share.

Changed total
According to Kris, close calls Kristianto, Minerva R150 VX experienced a total change from his predecessor, although still carrying the concept of both full-fairing. "New frames. Engine also received a touch so its power grows, "Kris beber.

New feature of this motor, the front uses two types of projector headlamps, LED type lamp Sein, and the type of upside down front forks, monoshock rear suspension while ago. Designed driver's seat and luggage rack separately (high-low position) are made from materials with rough surfaces.

Both rear wheels using ventilated disc brakes, digital speedometer, and tubeless tires.

Added, this motor design is the result Mangelli, England, who judged champion motor sport design.

The engine, despite its capacity equal to the previous version, 150 cc, which is now bigger one PS or become PS@9.500 13.5 rpm. This machine is equipped with an oil cooler.

In addition, to prevent engine vibration is quite hard on the old version, now equipped with advanced machinery Balancer shafts or as counterweight. When about to try a few reporters, Kompas.com try watching closely engine vibration. This new engine vibration is more subtle.

With a new face and frame, plus an enhanced engine, Minerva R150 VX selling price of Rp 16.5 million (Greater Jakarta) and up to 3 years warranty

2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R Motorcycle-SupersPort

Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R Motorcycle SupersPort
Hats off to the Kawasaki Ninja® ZX™-6R then, winner of 600cc comparison tests in just about every publication and website of note on the planet. With an engine the critics agree feels bigger than 599cc, and a chassis that out handles all others, the ZX-6R returns as the bike to beat in 2010.

With a fine-tuned chassis including a class-exclusive Big Piston Fork and fully adjustable shock out back, razor-sharp handling sets the ZX-6R apart. To optimize front-rear rigidity balance, frame stiffness around the swing arm pivot and the rear engine mounts is carefully tuned, with the compact engine rotated forward around the output shaft for a steep cylinder bank angle and optimal center of gravity. An exhaust layout with a short side muffler keeps the weight low, and an exhaust pre-chamber further contributes to the ZX-6R’s mass centralization.

But Kawasaki didn’t just declared themselves satisfied with that, it needed to bring that power and torque to the rider’s right hand without this involving jerks, only smooth and instant throttle response and control. In order to achieve that, engineers added cylindrical guides to the top of the air cleaner box, bringing chirurgical precision to air intake systems and getting the maximum bang from every fuel load going into the cylinders. The throttle bodies were lengthened, increasing distance between oval sub-throttle and round main throttles 10mm, resulting in a much smoother transition, reducing inlet turbulence and increasing efficiency. Also, the cylinder porting and ignition coils were revised in the quest for performance.

As weight is a key factor, the making of this inline-four involved finding solutions for reducing it. And if that meant making the camshafts from SCM, revising the top injector mounting plate, narrowing the transmission gears, revising and relocating coolant reservoir and heat pads, Kawasaki engineers didn’t boggle in doing it.

Jupiter MX 135LC character somewhat different from the common duck. Vertical engine and body shapes are cool, so by default, with a little touch, the look is so ciamik Yamaha duck. In the hands of the builder Topo Goedhel Atmojo Tauco Custom (TC), MX body become more muscular and sinewy.

Topo accidentally change the MX tongkrongan so very special because the owner came all the way from Bandung. "So, have created something special," said modifier, master TC in Kebagusan, Jaksel.

Here, position the tank moved forward and created separate seat. The design is quite unique. Sector so impressed sturdy tanks, pipes made tralis who applied from Ducati. Additional framework that, according to Topo, not just decoration. Function as the holder of the tank.

Machine model of an upright to provide more flexibility when designing the cover. All parts can be said is new and customizing results using 0.8 mm galvanized plate material.

Try lyrics swing arm (swing arm). This homemade because it is the dimension and the model should follow the body shape. If a unique shape like this, hard to match them with the arm swing variations.

Carefulness in the selection of front and rear lights deserve a thumbs up. "Aura sports were in line with Suzuki Arashi 125 lights that do have moge-style model," said Topo

Benelli TNT 2010 Cafe Racer 899 Specification Lands

Benelli TNT 2010 Cafe Racer 899 Specification Lands
First unveiled at the 2009 EICMA show in Milan, the new 899 Cafe Racer from Benelli is now making its debut on the British market. The new 899cc model has cafe racer looks and an in-line three-cylinder motor, just like its bigger sibling, the TnT 1130 Cafe Racer.

The 899 engine has a power output of 120bhp, a new cylinderhead, pistons, cams and new ignition mapping for smoother power delivery and better low speed throttle control. Other components include gold Marzocchi front forks, 320mm Brembo front brake discs.

Since the 899 Cafe is a carbon-copy of the 1130 Cafe Racer’s look, the 899 CR will share another trait with its 1130cc counter-part: you’ll either love the design or hate it. We happen to prefer the standard lines of the TnT, but still think the Cafe Racer series brings a variation to the Benelli form that will appeal to riders looking to stand out from their Ducati riding friends. Pricing has yet to be determined, but expect something north of $13,000.

When designing the 899 Cafe Racer, Benelli thought of reducing the amount of components and costs. The design of the windshield is simple, as is the instrument panel which is housed in a cheaper plastic panel. It is mounted on a steel subframe instead of one made of aluminum. The handlebars on the 899 are also made of steel rather than aluminum.
