BMW Motorrad 6 Sporty and Futuristic Concept

In the current era of globalization such as the rapid development of the automotive world. The producers of motor racing develop products to satisfy their customers. Like the BMW Motorcycles of designing a motor with a futuristic look. Manufacturers based in Germany called the BMW Motorrad Concept 6. Based motorcycle motor sport that has a very grim view.


The Concept of the BMW Motorrad was introduced the first six times before to the public in 2009 that took place when there was an EICMA in Milan, Italy. BMW offers a model appear more luxurious and innovative. The mix of modern style with classic style is adopted by Motorrad Concept 6. It can be seen from the front of a long snout while the short rear section. Models such as this reminds us of the heyday of the Cafe Racer is a racing icon, the first motor-powered and looks muscular.


On the machine carried by BMW Motorrad Concept 6 is the engine with six cylinders configuration. BMW also chose to design the space dry pump oil system with technology that allows machines to be very low and flat. BMW claims can get 130 Nm or 96 lb-ft of torque, which began only in 2000 and could continue on until 9000 rpm. Time pacemaker firing room is released through the 6 exhaust pipe with the sidy model.

High-powered engine should be combined with suspension and braking systems are qualified. For that, BMW Motorrad builds Concept 6 by adopting the model of a suspension made from lightweight alloy Duolever for its front, the rear uses a monoshock swingarm Paralever sustained. Suspension system uses large brakes with six piston calipers to reduce HP's 17-inch wheels and engine aggressiveness Motorrad Concept 6. [Sp /ABT]

Make Aprilia RSV4 Max Biaggi Replica

Max Biagi Performance Bike Superbike World scene (WSBK) more shiny, which he achieved a double victory in Monza, Italy, Aprilia smitten make motor manufacturers to make a replica mount rider with start number 3 this. Yes, motor racing is the Aprilia RSV4. This replica motorcycle racing is for lovers true because Aprilia offers WSBK spec racing engine, but also Aprilia designing a version of the street to meet the rules of FIM (Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme).


Motorcycle replica is made to satisfy the desires of automotive and racing fans also fans of 'The Roman Emperor'. Motor dominance displayed by red-green and white striping on the fairing combined to make this bike unsightly eye. His name is also a full replica of the original details like the shape of the Italian rider mounts. Motorcycle fairing replica is made of carbon material that famous lightweight but strong.
This gives a chance fortunately replica motorcycle racing machine that is used not so much different with the original version.

2010 Aprilia RSV4 Factory

When I heard the words of Italian Supersports bike, Most of people think of the Ducati Desmosedici RR, but the Aprilia RSV4 Factory is a new motorcycle with his own plan for success. It can be tough to separate the Ducati and Aprilia from image of 'speed freak' or the speed enthusiast. The release of RSV4 Factory is also allegedly as a new round of competition of both motorsports, especially in both segment. Aprilia RSV4 Factory in 2010 is designed to continue the predecessor of the current generation sustained 1000cc V-4 engine that can blow up to 180 horsepower and give torque up to 115 Nm.


Gross weight of this motor is reached 179 kg. The sporty bike is born from Aprilia loyal consumer demand thirsty for an motorcycle performing awesome machine. This means the weight should be deducted until the power can works more optimally. Overall, this bike comes with attractive design. Aprilia has been working hard to make its SupermotorsPort designed to be compact, innovative, and beautiful. This challenge is certainly not easy but in line with Aprilia traditions, RSV4 Factory design focuses not only on appearance but also serving the technology and performance. Every detail has been prepared not only to be unique and beautiful, but also above all to be efficient.
The need for dynamic optimization of the intake system is mainly conducted by defining the strong character of V4 infront. As shown there, installed extra large air intakes that are not only developing a large overpressure in the airbox (around 35 MB @ 280 km / h), but also completely separates the light from the bottom of the fairing. For V4 engine placement has also been considered carefully by the Aprilia which combine with extraordinary chassis that emphasizes the uniqueness of this bike. 2010 Factory RSV4 structure using an aluminum has been welded to create a framework that is far more rigid than the twin who RSV 1000 benchmark.


Front suspension fork upside-down Ohlins Racing fork, 43-mm stanchions. In the aluminum swingarm rear suspension uses twin side. For the disc brake is selected 320 mm in the following sizes of steel rotor. it is also made of lightweight stainless steel. Brembo monobloc radial use with four 34 mm oppositely. On the back is selected disc size 220 mm, which is paired with Brembo calipers and two measuring 32 mm pistons. Aprilia design alloy wheels that are built up of aluminum size of 3.5 x 17 inches on the front and rear 6 x 17 inches.

The Best Standard Motorcycle of the year 2009

Ducati Monster 1100

The new M1100 is the best-ever example of Ducati's popular Monster series, combining sexy Italian design with an excellent chassis and lusty, torquey V-Twin grunt that helped make Ducati famous the world over.

The new M1100 is the best-ever example of Ducati's popular Monster series, combining sexy Italian design with an excellent chassis and lusty, torquey V-Twin grunt that helped make Ducati famous the world over.
The Italians followed up the lively new Monster 696 with this 1100cc version of its revered air-cooled Desmo V-Twin, and it knocked our socks off with its all'-round versatility, rich character and a huge grin factor.

The big Monster has cozy ergos that welcome urbane commuter duties, as a proper standard should, but it also has the capable chassis and grunty power to terrorize repli-racer sportbikes on a twisty road. Low-rev neck-snapping performance combines with neck-snapping Italian good looks. Ducati's mondo Streetfighter model is much more powerful, but the M1100 is at least as much fun and is thousands cheaper.

Honorable Mention – Harley-Davidson XR1200


The XR1200 will rearrange your perception of Harley-Davidson performance. Here Pete imagines himself taking the checkered flag at the Springfield Mile.

The XR1200 will rearrange your perception of Harley-Davidson performance. Here Pete imagines himself taking the checkered flag at the Springfield Mile.
When Harley-Davidson announced in summer 2007 it had created a new model called the XR1200, but that it was a Euro-only unit, everyone here in the States asked why we were left out. Then, after listening to the loyal masses, the Motor Company conceded and made it available for the U.S. as an '09.

Ergonomically the XR1200 strikes a good compromise between aggressive canyon attacker and sensible, upright everyday ride. And the potent Nissin brake calipers are crazy powerful. The flat-tracker look-alike styling is a head-turner, and the reliable 1200cc Sporty Twin has been massaged to yield the most horsepower of any air-cooled mill ever to emerge from H-D. Our only criticism is limited lean angle on the exhaust side impeding super-aggressive cornering, but you have to be the fast guy in your crowd for that to be a concern.

Best Exotica Motorcycle of The year 2009

Ducati Desmosedici RR
If you'd like a street-legal MotoGP bike, you're looking at the only game in town. MotoGP is the pinnacle of two-wheel motorsports, with the best riders in the world piloting the most exotic sportbikes ever seen on earth. So when Ducati unleashed a street-legal version of its 990cc V-Four GP bike, we were as giddy as Casey Stoner after winning his world championship. Our time aboard the GP bike with lights was brief – just part of a day at the racetrack – but it was a scintillating experience we won't soon forget. Blisteringly fast, it blows past regular literbikes like they are 600s. Abrupt throttle response and a race-stiff suspension makes you realize you're not worthy of its stratospheric potential, and its $72.5K price tag will have you thinking twice about shaving off seconds from your lap time. But it's the most exotic and outrageous sportbike we've ever ridden, causing us to consider selling our homes or our mothers to put one in our garage. If we do, we'll make sure to invite fellow D16RR owners Jay Leno, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise over to the coffee shop to talk about how cool we are.


Yamaha/Star V-Max


Perhaps it seems a bit odd to label a Yamaha-built bike as an exotic, but consider its monstrous 200-horsepower V-Four engine stuffed in an aluminum frame, a ride-by-wire throttle, variable-length throttle intakes, bespoke radial master cylinders and hand-polished aluminum intake scoops. A lofty $17,990 MSRP keeps out the punters, helping to ensure its exotic and rare status. Mountains of power throughout the rev range is like engaging hyper-drive, and tire-smoking corner exits are delivered easier than anything else with two wheels. Yamaha has brought an icon back to life with the new Max, and it's crazier and more capable than ever. The V-Max isn't a cruiser and it's not a sportbike - it's both, and there's nothing else quite like it. It's an accessible exotic.

Best Eccentric Motorcycle of the year 2009

Can-Am Spyder

Although not technically a motorcycle, the well-engineered Can-Am Spyder has expanded open-air motoring to a new audience.

If standing out in a crowd is you’re cup o’ tea, you’re sure to be seen riding aboard the Can-Am Spyder Roadster! Although it can't lean like a motorcycle (or a Piaggio MP3), it’s got some open wheels and puts you in the wind all the same. Basically, it’s a “flipped around” three-wheeler, putting the two-wheeled part of the trike in the front. Packed full of technology as well as eye-catching appeal, the Spyder now comes in three colors and two transmission choices: standard foot-controlled shifting (SM5) or a version that is capable of being shifted by hand (SE5, a sequential electronic 5-speed). BRP has built in a lot of fun as well as safety. The coolest part of this machine is the licensing. When last we checked, if you live in California or Delaware, you don’t even need a motorcycle license to operate one on the open road. Aging and/or handicapped riders who still feel the need for speed and excitement they once received by ripping down the road on two wheels can again feel that old thrill on the Spyder, and it's also proving to be attractive to new and female riders.

Honorable Mention – Travertson V-REX


Built by the people who turned out the turbine-powered bike made famous by Jay Leno, the futuristic Travertson V-REX garners more attention than any motorcycle we've ever ridden.

In the custom cruiser mien, it's not unusual to throw down $50K or more for something that stands apart from the hordes of other choppers trying to be unique. And yet they are all pretty much just variations on tired themes. But nobody will think that when you pull up on a V-Rex. Looking like a refugee from a sci-fi movie, the Travertson-built monstrosity is unlike anything you've ever seen. The swingarm front suspension is the first thing to blow your mind, but everywhere else your eyes rest will continue the squall on your brain, such as the bespoke cast frame, the single-sided rear suspension and the alien-looking nose. There aren't many $40,000 bikes we are willing to describe as a bargain, but for its incredible traffic-stopping countenance, V-Rex qualifies.

The Best Cruiser Motorcycle of 2009

Triumph Thunderbird 1600

It's been cruiser utopia for the last decade or so, with every major manufacturer jumping into the market to piggyback on Harley-Davidson's astounding success for the feet-forward crowd. Harley's iconic 45-degree V-Twin has spawned an endless succession of imitators, many of them excellent in their own right. But we don't think we're alone in seeing this genre as a little bit stale. That's one reason why Triumph's new T-Bird made such an impression on us, as its parallel-Twin (a zero-degree Vee) stands apart in a sea of clones. Its 270-degree firing order supplies the requisite thumpity-thump exhaust note, but both its character and layout are unique. This might be a moot point if the 'Bird wasn't blessed with clean, graceful lines that follow a well-worn formula yet are distinct. And for those of you who like cruising on curvy roads in addition to the straight ones on the way to the cafe, the Trumpet can cut an inside track as tight as anything in its class.
Triumph's Thunderbird twists the cruiser mold by eschewing a V-Twin powerplant in favor of a character-rich parallel-Twin that retains a link with Triumphs of yore. Clean lines penned by an American designer are attractive without being too derivative, and a stout chassis encourages riding on twisty roads instead of avoiding them.

Honorable Mention – Suzuki Boulevard M90

Suzuki's M90 Boulevard combines unique styling, excellent handling and strong braking to create an unbeatable value in the power-cruiser segment.

Combine the look of a more powerful cruiser with comfortable ergos, handling and stability rarely if ever found in cruisers; grace it with a bigger Twin than any other bike in its class, then bring it at a price at or below the competition, and you’ve got yourself undeniable value. This is the exact scenario of Suzuki’s Boulevard M90. Looking a whole lot like its bigger, meaner M109 brother, the M90 gives power-cruiser fans the look they want matched to V-Twin power that surely has Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha scratching their heads at the M90’s $9,999 tag. In today’s economy, value makes the perfect partner to performance.

A sagging economy hasn't stopped the flow of amazing motorcycles
resume from K. Duke

While we enjoy ripping on substandard motorcycles, crappy bikes are hard to find these days. Take a look at any of our comparison tests from the last couple of years and you'll find only marginal differences between our declared winners and their competitors.

With so much high-quality product to choose from, culling the field down into our Best Of winners was an arduous task. But that didn't stop us from coming up with our favorite stuff from the class of '09! Introducing the first-annual Motorcycle.com Best Of awards. And the MoBo goes to...

Motorcycle of the Year

Triumph Street Triple R
-Triumph's Street Triple R is a fantastically versatile sporting package with one of our favorite engines of all time. It's an elemental motorcycle but with major-league performance built in, and its fun-to-ride quotient is sky high, earning our MoBo Motorcycle of the Year for 2009.
Triumph had a good thing going when it unveiled the sweet Street Triple 675, a pared-down streetfighter version of the beloved Daytona 675 sportbike. The Street Triple’s finest feature is its soul-stirring three-cylinder engine that boasts a broad powerband and a symphonic exhaust note. The motor, re-tuned from the Daytona, has a predictable but powerful output that makes it accessible and unintimidating to riders of all skill levels yet is satisfying for even the saltiest veterans. Comfortable ergos – including a reasonably low seat height – and an eminently toss-able nature made it a staff darling, but we were a little disappointed it had some bargain-minded bits to keep the retail figure low.

But like a dream come true, the Street Triple R was introduced just last year, replete with the Daytona’s up-spec fully adjustable suspension and potent radial-mount Nissin brake calipers, alleviating all of our concerns. The result is an invigorating and versatile roadster that stickers for less than $10K. Lofting the front wheel is a snap, and before you know it you’ll be drifting out the back end like an inspired Brit hooligan. And on your favorite twisty back road, its friendly yet potent character is almost unbeatable, proving that no one really needs triple-digit horsepower peaks.

Yamaha WR250X, The Amazing Ride

Although Yamaha WR250X will not belongs to the big ten of motorcycle with the best design but doesn't mean that this motorcycle designs then will get the bad effect. Functionally, motorcycle design that fuse off road bike and street bike like such is really steady and as according to beginning plan yamaha building this motorcycle. Looks like, The Yamaha WR250X is resemble with trail motorcycle (offroad bike) commonly uses for hard roadfield. But when seeing the tyre used, likely Yamaha designs this motorcycle for highway consumption. With slender design and briefly, this motorcycle chasis is really designed based on trail motorcycle (offroad bike). The idea is designing a nimble motor that can be used in city. Four stroke engine DOHC 250cc installed in wr250x is designed based on engine of Yamana YZ-F engine that demoted in product series of motocross. This Engine that uses liquid cooling system is not really designed for speeding and because of such thing, the maximum speed limit that can be reached only around 130km/ hour. It is clearly not good match for engine 250cc installed. Possibly, fuel efficiency is the one of the consideration by Yamaha that claimed that this motor can run over 30km to every litre of fuel. With tank that can accommodate fuel 7,5 litres, you can pass through over around 226km, that is even still depending from your manner of riding this motor. For use in city, possibly that number can be more going down.

Because of use of construction of motorcross, it is clearly from this motorcycle control is superior. Long handlebar makes lighter the rider in doing manouvre. manouvering through empty roadside when you'e trapped in trafficjam is the one of this motorcycle superiority. Motorcycle news called that this motor is nimble but difficult to turn in high-speed without lossing of balance. They say that this motorcycle's rear suspension is a little less stable while turning. Several other weaknesses that also be said that motorcycle height is idealless for majority of people so that making difficult when must stop on midway. While, the seat construction is even also pleasantless and making the rider feels tired fast. Besides, Yamaha doesn't also prepare kick starter and you must always ascertain accumulator in good condition, except that you don't mind pushing this motorcycle that has weight as heavy as 135kg.
