HONDA REVO TECHNO AT

Since its introduction, the first automatic duck in Indonesia, Honda Revo AT Techno start a new trend combines comfort with typical agility of a motor scooter with a duck.

HONDA REVO TECHNO AT

Because the dense atmosphere usually found in big cities make use of automatic transmission motorcycles become a trend in itself.

In addition, the agility of a motorcycle must also have an attraction. These two things combined is dedicated to Honda through AT Revo Techno.Do not want to wait a long time, detikOto opportunity to test this bike to explore the wilderness of Jakarta without a police escort as well as the usual testing done motor manufacturers.AT Revo technology that carries Automatic Continuous Variable (CV-matic) quite comfortable to drive, though somewhat disturbed with seats that are still hard as the standard Revo.

The path we choose to try out AT Revo is not a special track, but a typical jam-prone path Jakarta.

When the machine is turned on, the kitchen was 110 cc runway rumble. Once the gas, direct motor drive. When I first tried it, there is little sense clumsy. It's nothing, pass the custom motorcycle gear like a duck is no longer found in the Revo AT.

Footstep left the ordinary into the gears on the motor duck in general no longer exists.

Not long after leaving the AFP office in numbers Pejaten, South Jakarta, directly facing congestion.

In situations like this that carried automatic transmission AT Revo proven reliable. Moreover congestion we are forced to apply a stop & go is exhausting. But with automatic transmission, it did not happen.

AT Revo riding in a traffic jam feels very comfortable. Moreover, the agility of a motorcycle duck still exist in the DNA motor that has a wheelbase is 1252 mm.

No doubt, the action-skid salve amid congestion was so much better made than the motor matik like scooter. Ground clerance Revo AT 136 mm high as feels comfortable. Making the foot can tread the earth firmly.

Not only that, AT Revo Honda engine cooling system to adopt dual refrigeration and cooling air to the engine room CVT with engine motor oil the same as duck proved to be effective to maintain the engine temperature.

Any engine so it is not easy to heat that ultimately makes the rider comfortable because it is not too hot at the foot of the machine is located.

When night came and the atmosphere of the street began to sway, trying to spur detiOto motor that is sold at Rp 15.8 million (on the road DKI Jakarta) this.

Here AT Revo engine which has a maximum power of 7.68 PS at 8000 rpm with a torque of 0.81 at 5000 rpm kgf.m speak. Despite carrying the automatic transmission, AT Revo still can go up to 90 km per hour at Jalan Gatot Subroto long.

And most surprising is when it comes to the pump, because if another motor automatic transmission impressed 'thirst' to drink the fuel, which carry the AT Revo EFT technology (Efficient & Low Friction Technology) which serves to minimize friction between the components of the engine instead tend to economize.

Technology that was carried was Bajaj XCD 125 DTS-Si (Digital Twin Spark-Swirl Induction). Technology is actually similar to the existing technology Bajaj Pulsar 180 (DTS-i). The difference was the location of inlet and outlets ports are somewhat different than the DTS-I. This will give greater swirl effect, the result is will be more economical fuel.

The capacity of 125cc engine capable of producing power relatively small, namely 9.5 hp at 7000 rpm. Maximum torque is 10.8 nm to 5000 rpm. However Bajaj brags that its product is able to walk as far as 64 km with only 1 liter of gasoline (in town). With a weight weighing 113 kg, Bajaj XCD 125 DTS Si is only capable of driving as fast as 95 km/hr.

The YZF-R1 garnered the prestigious award as the 2009 Motorcycle of the Year from Motorcyclist Magazine. The YZF-R1 was chosen for its MotoGP®- inspired engine and chassis technology, and for its luxurious fit and finish.

2011 YZF-R1 SPECIFICATION

2011 YZF-R1 SPECIFICATION

Back for 2011, the YZF-R1 is the only production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. Crossplane technology, first pioneered in MotoGP® racing with the M1, puts each piston 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. This uneven order does an amazing thing… it actually lets power build more smoothly. That means smooth roll-on delivery out of the corners, with outstanding tractability, followed by very strong high rpm power. It’s a feeling that’s simply unmatched, like having two engines in one: the low-rpm torquey feel of a twin with the raw, high-rpm power of an inline four. This breakthrough technology on the YZF-R1 represents a paradigm shift in both technology and performance.MSRP* $13,790 (Candy Red/Raven) Available from October 2010

Warranty 1 Year (Limited Factory Warranty)

This R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-TTM (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP® inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I® is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response.Engine:

Crossplane crankshaft technology proven in victory after victory on MotoGP® machines provides a high-tech uneven firing interval. Unlike typical inline-four engine design, where the two outer and two inner pistons move together in pairs with 180° intervals, the crossplane crankshaft has each connecting rod 90° with a unique firing order of 270° – 180° – 90° – 180°. This overcomes the inherent fluctuations in inertial torque during each engine revolution, and the accompanying peaky torque characteristics. Instead, combustion torque continues to build, giving the rider more linear throttle response with awesome power and traction out of the corners.

To maximize rider comfort as well as power output, the engine adopts a coupling-type balancer that rotates in the opposite direction as the crankshaft.

This engine features forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage of the power characteristics. Titanium intake valves are lightweight.

Chassis/Suspension:

The frame has a combination of uncompromising rigidity where needed along with carefully achieved flex for the precise rigidity balance this bike needs to give the rider the full benefit of its handling and engine characteristics. It is a sophisticated combination of Controlled-Fill die-cast, stamping, and gravity casting… the exact technology needed for each portion of this advanced frame.

SOQI front forks take a page from the championship-winning design of our MotoGP® weapon, the M1. Since both forks always move together, compression damping duties can be confined to the left fork, while rebound damping is precisely handled by the right fork, reducing oil cavitation.

APRILIA DORSODURO 1200 REVIEW AND SPECIFICATION

This is APRILIA DORSODURO 1200 ,twin-cylinder fans needn’t fret, as the 1197cc Dorsoduro steps in to fill that void.


The Dorsoduro's new V-Twin packs the grunt we wished the 750 had.

The 750cc Shiver and Dorsoduro are very appealing in their own right, yet performance from their three-quarter-liter V-Twins have been a little underwhelming. But after years of rumors about larger-displacement version of the same engine, Aprilia has finally delivered with the Dorsoduro 1200.


The Max Dorso has already been introduced in Europe, and our correspondent Tor Sagen brought back a glowing review you can read here. Although no lightweight (at a stated 457 lbs dry), the Dorso 12 comes to the party with a claimed 130 crankshaft horses to give it midrange grunt the 750 can’t approach. The big Dorso’s appeal is also expanded with high-end features like traction control and optional ABS.Engine and transmission Switch unitAprilia's profilation of this bike

“The Dorsoduro 1200 is all I ever wanted from the 750 that wasn’t there,” said Sagen after his ride. “The 1200 engine has got all that full richness I always look for in V-Twins. That sorted, the bike is now 100% pure fun.”

Just as intriguing, this new 1200cc V-Twin will surely find its way into other Aprilia models. We anticipate a Shiver 1200 to be unveiled during 2011, and it’s possible the new powerplant may find its way into a pseudo adventure-tourer like Ducati’s weird but successful Multistrada.

BMW K1600GT AND GTL SPECIFICATION AND REVIEW

BMW inspires us with news of the first inline six-cylinder motorcycle engine in nearly 30 years, this time in the center of a few high-end touring bikes. BMW says the long-stroke 1649cc mill is a huge 129-ft lb torque to produce at its zenith, culminating in a 160-horse bump on the highway of your choice.


The K1600GTL packs big power and comfort and convenience features.

The sporty-ish K16GT substituted 4-cylinder K1300GT and K1600GTL the luxury touring car of the well known German brand. Both are available with a range of technology and luxury options, including electronically adjustable suspension, traction control, heated seats and grips, and multi-mode engine-mapping, including a number of other opportunities which will provide a truly royal ride. And the engine sounds fine when we heard, when we saw K16 showed Jay Leno's garage last month.

"A six-cylinder motorcycle engine is a rare thing, regardless of era, " notes Pete

2011 KAWASAKI KX250F SPECIFICATION PICTURE AND PRICE

2011 new Kawasaki KX250F is the hottest Motorcycle of the year.It was easy to love last year’s Kawasaki KX250F. Yes, it had a carburetor, handling was merely average and even the looks and ergonomics were a little dated. What made it such a hit? Power. The 2010 KX250F engine ran so strongly nothing else mattered. The 2010 bike was so good that KX250F sales rose 18% while other brands of 250Fs saw sales drop.

Motorcycle.com became acquainted with the 2011 KX250F at the North American press launch at Budds Creek. Engineers were excited to show off their hard work; the new KX250F received over 30 changes from the previous year, including the biggest of them all, fuel injection.
