Once again, Tiger 1050 is more sport-touring rig a rival long suspension of the likes of Ducati Multi Strada 1200, the new Tiger 800 are built to attack and conquer the elements dirt. To illustrate the measure of last Tiger off-road intentions of the Triumph motorcycle-called group of journalists to go to the Tigers two days discussion on the street and dirt.

On the morning of the event Triumph attachment means, Reg Kittrell, surprised reporters by announcing attend the next breakfast spend the night under the stars in a tent (insert sigh here). "This is a part of the experience and adventure tourism," he said, trying to appease our discomfort with the idea of ​​the project for a night in the deserts of San Diego County.

Of course, the presence of North Triumph America CEO, Greg Heichelbech held spoiled group of moto-journalists pooh-poohing the inhuman conditions, but still worries. Kittrell journalistic avoid a mutiny by announcing that there was arranged a barbecue, accompanied by our selection of beers campfire.

 

Before beginning our exploration of SoCal outback, Chris Langlois concentrated Triumph Group on the work ahead of us in explaining the differences between the Tigris a little more profitable 800 and 800XC dirt-oriented components. The various properties include rays, 21/17-inch front / rear combo XC vs 19/17-inch standard configuration is 800 mags, XC fork, which is greater than 2 mm in diameter and 1 , offers more than 6 inches of travel, and other differences, including the rear suspension, seat height, width controlled, wet weight, etc. (see feature comparison).

The data sheet also shows the technical differences between Tiger and the F800GS 10mm travel front suspension for more than GS against Tiger cross, a weight advantage of 18 pounds for BMW (7 pounds compared to the standard Tiger) a 9-HP Triumph couple, but four pound-feet more for GS.

That transmits information about the best choice of the bike between two competing brands, not sure, because even though thunk is a good idea not to share my wisdom Triumph when they roll F800GS provide. We hope that our request for a BMW F800GS will soon be answered, and we can end this destination.

 

However, two models of Tiger, after several days and hundreds of miles on both, I am now an authority on the complexities of handling any of the models and performance. The idea I have is so great this story could become the Dianetics adventure touring articles. But before all L. Ron Hubbard, allows me to shorten my knowledge with this condensed version details: XC is higher and is best handled on the ground.

Short and sweet, but the truth. This gives a head taller than XC (suspension travel more and more front wheel) is also what gives a better XC off-road manners. On top of that dirt specific components, XC receives an improved rear shock, which boasts 1.8 inches of travel more than the standard Tiger, a remote reservoir and adjustable rebound. XC is controlled is also 2.7 inches wider, which goes a long way in providing better use during the off-road.

In this sense, its no surprise XC is able to withstand more than the standard off-road obstacles to Tiger, but if it travels fast through the mountain road to a more serious fire, the tiger is probably enough to Standard your off-road point of view. Since the person has ridden across Terra Firma sportbikes like the one we met in San Diego County (though more slowly), can not be the best indicator, but I was also happy to standard Tiger was parallel to the border with Mexico is a dirt road paved bends wavy or carving out of Julian, CA.

 

Although the movement of profits XC suspension was diving over in aggressive highway driving, it was not as difficult as I feared. In fact, exposed to both standard and Tiger XC balanced suspension package that held the balance of the bike back during braking and acceleration.

Significant lack of emphasis and expensive during our trip was not the bike, but its accessories. Stark visually saddlebags ($ 800) are apparently built to withstand the Dakar-esque out, and I liked lockable, easy, easy off design that will appeal to commuters. But some are only as strong as its weakest part, and these bags that mount point. Twice I saw the bags out of the journalist colleague at low speeds of the wheels, the front washes in the dirt. Off-road warriors want more solid mount.

 

Kudos are deserved for new Tiger 799cc engine, based on 675cc Triumph Triple adorable. Many exhibitors from low-end grunt and mid-range line three-cylinder engine is even more impressive for its lack of vibration. Not once during my two hours of driving to the highway from San Diego and I felt the need to remove my throttlehand from the bar to shake the tingling and restore blood flow. Yes, its so smooth.

Another subtlety is the adjustable seat and the Tigers in the model. By increasing or decreasing the height of the seat can be a simple process to remove the seat and adjust the seat height and a bar with the return of the bike. Because the bike more places do not offer a simple adjustment of the seat, this is a mystery.

 

What I did not appreciate was the spittoon unendearing echoes resonating from the catalytic converter. Jiffy Pop pinging sound that was present at each headed Tiger, but in some acceleration of the wheels came to a sound ceramic ring that pierced my ear plugs for about 7000 rpm. Only some of the wheels to get this sound, while others do not, and some of the journos did not even hear voices, so it seems that the presence of noise can be vagary.

So, to repeat the attention of two tigers, I would say dirtbiker looking for something a street-legal, Tiger XC is a flag, a motorcycle racing boy longing for some off-road operation is likely to feel more at home on Tiger Standard . Tiger Standard retail price is $ 1,000 to $ 10,999 less than XC. Throw in the optional ABS, and $ 800 is still well below the XC MSRP $ 200.

When Harley-Davidson, Buell Motorcycle Company of its shutters, a subsidiary in October 2009, the great pioneer of American motorcycle in the last three decades, Erik Buell, seemed to be off the bike-building business.

But anyone familiar with Erik Buell tenacious always knew I would see him and his influence on another streetbike. It was only a matter of time.

Well, that time has become the Expo weekend Powersports Dealer in Indianapolis, Indiana, when Mr. Buell made his 1190RS streetbike again.

"Theyre so deep!" Motorcycle.com said during the debut of the bike, a mixture of euphoria and exhaustion, her face painted.

After Harley-Davidson has killed the Buell Motorcycle Company, Buell has restricted the construction of Streetbike motorcycle competition based solely on the construction of previous production motorcycles. This agreement has been completed.

Vision to produce a Buell sport bike U.S. enters a new chapter with 1190RS, a serious development in the countryside bike racing 1190RR private during the 2010 season with the AMA Superbike pilot Geoff May

Buell RS is covered with fresh new skin, now a real fairing and a new sleek design and cutting edge carbon fiber. His nose is very sharp, with a pair of projector headlights lens over the other similar to the Ducati 999, but a simpler layout.

Meanwhile, the rear is skimpier than anything weve seen before, slotted body only supported by a supporting cast magnesium spider built in the U.S..

Speaking of magnesium wheels RS is very special. Magnesium alloys are generally not used wheel Streetbike pounding from bumps and potholes can damage the metal relatively rigid and brittle.

But a newly developed casting - casting ablation - has the ability to vary the properties of the metal in terms of what is needed and allows the conversion in which the metal complex can be formed in a variety of thicknesses. This is particularly true for magnesium components, which can be difficult to launch specific levels. Buell said the new method allows a border area of ​​ductile (able to deform slightly upon impact to maintain the structural integrity), while the region spoke and hub can be built rigid enough to support the bike.

Costly efforts to reduce weight also included the adoption of a lithium ion battery, helping to bring the total mass of less than 400 pounds (wet, but without fuel).

1190RS power only a 1190cc engine modded Buell 1125R expanded through a task of 106 mm diameter. Rotax - co-developer and manufacturer of engines 1125R - bought the rights to the Harley engine and provides CDE with a base unit is then fitted with new cylinders, pistons, crankshaft and camshafts. The ports are smoothed CNC machining. Titanium valves replace steel valves to allow greater speed, somewhere in the upper rpm range-11000, according to Buell. The motor phase switch can rotate up to 12,500 rpm. The engine has recently approved the 1190 EPA testing.

The cast aluminum frame looks outwardly similar to the 1125R, but is actually a new design, a new swingarm, which incorporates a chain drive instead of belt 1125R.

Gone are the awkward double-side-mounted radiators, which made it seem 1125R fat RADS replaced by a twin engine oil cooler in front of the sandwiching near the vacuum pump.

Buell continues his predilection for a front disc brake a little different now with 8-piston Nissin increased carbon through dual-entry fiber to deliver cool air to help heat the hangars. Its CDE has integrated its racebike since mid-last season.

No longer having to build bikes to suit a price level, Buell has equipped the RS high-end componentry. The top-shelf Ohlins fork and shock handle suspension duties, while billet aluminum is used to control foot and triple clamps.

As you can imagine, all this goodness is an exotic high price. Basic models start from $ 39,995, with a list of options that can improve the price of around $ 50K. 1190RSs only 100 built.

The dealer is the next step in the right RBE. Buell says he does not care what brand (s) if the dealer sells at the moment, but he insists that the passion for sport bikes. Initially, the EBR 1190RSs first sold by the operation of the Buell East Troy, Wisconsin, located on the corner of the former factory Buell.

Buell is well known for his endless dedication and hard work, but has again taken to another level. "I worked harder today than I ever dreamed," he said. "Im really strange feeling manic."

 

And knowing the Buell, we expect more to come from his fertile mind.

"There are lots of options," he said of what could be next, including the ability to design new engines and the bike cold.

1190R-platform development continues at the racetrack with a rider may Geoff test machine to another season in AMA Superbike competition.

Meanwhile, we hope to have a walk in the 1190RS soon as possible. Is there snow on the way to America ...?

Based on the experience and unique abilities together in the racing world, Aprilia continues its powerful ability, high performance. Dorsoduro 1200 is a cocktail of power, agility and precision - which is synonymous with pleasure on a motorcycle.

DESIGN:

Dorsoduro 1200 is a radical, outrageously athletic and agile bike. Do not make concessions of any kind of ornament or anything directly from the functional to get all the performance and driving pleasure. Therefore, all the body parts are cut to a minimum, just like a real race car, the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 to remove anything that has something for the benefit of the pilot. It is not normal, because

prefer to keep your bike and mechanical componentry site show superlative. Every detail is minimized and focused on the role pure as hand protection and the new style dorsal Motard panel, which also offers speeds of wind protection. These items complement the design of Dorsoduro 1200 to pure perfection, with attention to detail evident in the characteristics

such as two-tone paint image, color rear fascia with other elements of the dual exhaust with new body and black heat shields. Even the fuel tank of 15 liters is fully integrated into the slim Dorsoduro 1200.

1200 Dorsoduro motard bike race pure soul. A central part very narrow and the wheel - an area that interacts with most of the body movements of the driver while driving difficult - highlights an extremely small size of the wheel. Pilot becomes an integral part of the machine and can move freely in the saddle thin and perfectly straight brute force to dominate all engines

situations. No acrobatics in the style typical biker is out of range of this bike.

1200 cc V90 ENGINE: STATE Twin Cylinder Technology

The Aprilia V90 is a completely new design. This is a modern technologically advanced unit with a geometry very over square cylinder for a time much sports and DC power.

Each extension Dorsoduro 1200 is designed to optimize power delivery and access to an incredible 130 hp motor 8700 rpm for the attacks. Every detail is designed to integrate the nature of the bike stunt scandalously.

• 90 ° V-twin with the architecture;

• Triple Wire Technology Ride map (maps Sport, Touring and Rain);

• very boring squarer / stroke ratio;

• offset cylinders for maximum compactness side;

• Four valves per cylinder;

• camshafts driven by a double timing chain / gear combination;

• dual ignition for smooth power delivery, but full bore;

• Electronic fuel injection with dual throttle body;

• Stick-coils integrated with the spark plug boots;

• Three-way catalytic converter;

• hydraulic clutch.

The latest generation of micro-injection system used for nebuliser solution administered intravenously. Together with a perfect fluid, this solution ensures optimal combustion, the engine, which is not only effective but also very clean. Two spark plugs also contribute to cleaner emissions, and to ensure full

Smooth delivery.

Thanks to the sophisticated electronic engine management, the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 is the new benchmark for technology and performance in its class.

Aprilia was the first manufacturer to believe in the potential of the Cavalcade cable, a very sophisticated technology that allows the pilot to extract every last drop of performance from the bike. The electronic management system of the accelerator used in the Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 represents the current state of the art. Cards even more precise and sophisticated engine management to ensure optimum, keeping the engine in perfect condition for maximum acceleration at all times in a driving experience like youve never seen before. This solution also offers the power delivery smoother, fuller low and medium speed for optimum performance even in the engine load conditions of the accelerator.

With their triple card (Rain, Touring and Sport), the bike has three distinct personalities that the driver can choose at any time to respond immediately all conditions and preferences. Just close the throttle and push a button to select the desired setting.

SPORTS: extreme, when you want to test with an immediate and direct explosive.

TOURISM: soft, to maximize the breakdown of 1200 cc engine power in all conditions.

RAIN: a balanced, dominated by the power of 100 hp is also the most fun on slippery or wet.

With its state of advanced technology, allows the class to beat the Aprilia V90 levels of power. No other rider Max approaches the performance of Dorsoduro 1200: With 130 hp at 8700 rpm and maximum torque of 115 Nm at 7200 rpm, this engine sets new records for the kind of biker. To further emphasize the efficiency of the engine, a new 2-in-1-into-2 exhaust system was designed specifically for the bike. Made entirely of stainless steel, generous internal volume of the system provides a thrill and a distinctive sound.

Part: light as a feather, but ultra-rigid
Aprilia has always been considered the benchmark for excellence in housing as we know. And true to tradition, Dorsoduro 1200 is the most powerful, most balanced bike in its class.

Although tailored to the size of the driving pleasure, like all Aprilia motorcycles, the frame layout Dorsoduro deserves respect for his enormous dynamic equilibrium. With the Dorsoduro, agility does not come at the price of extreme nervous temperament, and a highly effective platform for the layout of perfect precision and the feeling is directly connected to the front wheel. And this is something that can only say that the motorcyclist just there.

Mixed frame structure, built on a robust steel tube trellis coupled with aluminum side panels, is acclaimed both amateurs and experts, while the aluminum caliper mounting help reduce the wheel. Experience Aprilia Supermoto World Championship, the structure offers the perfect balance of stiffness to handle also provide the Supreme

with the explosive power of the new 1200 cc V90.

The lateral position and very inclined rear shock is a precise technical choices, determined after testing a variety of configurations. This solution frees up valuable space for the exhaust manifolds with generous dimensions that are necessary to fully exploit the potential of the 1200 cc engine. This helped to optimize the layout of the exhaust system without adding unnecessarily to the length of the cycle, while protecting the shock - a vital component in itself - from high temperatures.

Suspension: Performance Control

The suspension of the Dorsoduro 1200 is designed to fully exploit the incredible performance of the engine and the best solutions that we can ever want in an extreme biker. The 43 mm inverted fork with Sachs shell cast support bracket features adjustable spring preload and hydraulic compression and rebound. In addition to setting total, this component advanced class to beat the progressive and full wheel travel 160 mm, in perfect conformity with the Supermoto riding style.

The side-mounted gas shock absorbers Sachs shock absorber with separate tank, is pivoted directly on the swingarm in a cantilever configuration, and adjustable spring preload and hydraulic compression and rebound. Element allows experienced riders to explore the full potential performance of the bike, even on the ground. Race of the rear wheel is 155mm, again in line with the philosophy that aims to Supermoto efficiency, suspension control, but with a long run.

Brakes: Racing Technology - also available with ABS

The Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 adopt state of the art in technology for braking the front 4-piston radial calipers Brembo floating discs, 320 mm deep. The 240 mm rear disc is also hampered by a Brembo caliper - in this case a single piston unit.

Both front and rear brake systems use aeronautical metal braid hoses grade, which removes harmful traditional variation of pressure tubes maximum braking, the accuracy and performance of the players really stop class.

Dorsoduro 1200 is also available in two-channel ABS system that can be disabled by the user directly on the dashboard. The ABS is specifically calibrated to allow the rider to fully exploit the power brakes and the tires grip on dry, so as not to diminish the enormous fun with this bike.

Dorsoduro 1200 is also the maxi motard only today, traction control Aprilia Traction Control (ATC), the exclusive traction control system to work together with a sophisticated ABS system, which allows drivers to use the exuberant performance 1200 cc engine to address even the most difficult terrain and in extremely difficult conditions in a safe manner.

When activated, the system offers three different levels of traction control, adjustable to fit each of the dynamic parameters of the bike to meet the needs and preferences of the driver:

Level 1: for a ride extreme and maximum fun and adrenaline in amazing stop the engine is the last thing on your mind.
Level 2: for total control of all factors of the terrain and maximum excitement.
Level 3: ideal to cope with difficult conditions such as slippery roads where traction is poor.

Componentry: First Class

Motard is by definition essential, even spartan. This does not mean having to miss class to beat premium content. Aprilia moves the bar even higher for rivals with components high-end features. The most important of these are:

• Matrix instrument panel: mixed panel digital-analog receive data over the CAN line, and with its own memory dedicated event log is an integral part of self-diagnosis. Particularly compact with a contemporary design and a significantly reduced weight. All functions are accessible from a control on the handlebars. Backlight LED - white for the analog area and

red digital display - three different brightness levels.

• Anodized aluminum tapered handlebars is an unequivocal reference motorcycle supermoto competition. Incredibly lightweight component, which aims to ensure the start of a dynamic cycle.

• Ensure a consistent commitment to the smoothness and precise example, a hydraulic clutch is smooth himself, and as a result, maintenance-free.

2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Poke for Thrust, the Mightiest Middleweight Sportbike in Chronicle Field shift de validity. Thats the exclusive way to expound the fresh Ninja® 600 sportbike of 1985. Stuff a liquid-cooled 16-valve inline-four (the premier ever in a middleweight streetbike), wraparound twin-spar border, anti-dive fork and aesthetics snatched aright from the Piano Prix journeying, the germinal ZX600-A1 was a ascendant, bigger-than-life middleweight. Ostensibly, whatsoever things never alter. The 2011 ZX™-6R carries that practice of middleweight status to a staggering place (one that wouldve blown minds in 1985). And in todays ultra-competitive 600 supersport marketplace, where engineering, raceway success and streetbike acumen can transfer dramatically period by period, thats saying a lot. 

Dont conceive us? Then ask the umpteen top-level magazines and web sites that picked the current-spec ZX-6R as Unexceeded Middleweight. It was an perfectly dominating 600 shootout performance - and one careful to be replicated in 2011 due to the ZX-6Rs track-honed DNA and unlined all-around capacity. That DNA begins with a 16-valve, DOHC inline-four engine thats everything a top-shelf middleweight powerplant should be: supremely muscular, marmorean, and golden with hammer-like reliability. Critics everywhere concur the ZX-6R runs and performs same a larger-displacement motorcycle, and one that packs a propulsion chassis that out-handles and out-suspends all others. Its a perfect combining for street riders, track day junkies and racers like, a flexibleness that helps explain its galore 600 comparo victories. It all starts with the ZX-6Rs jewel-like engine, a 599cc system of everything Kawasaki knows around powerplant business, and the ensue of untold hours of investigation and flawlessness garnered from dyno position to racetrack and hindmost again. Squeezing big power from littler move has been a Kawasaki specialty for numerous years, from the 350cc A7 Assailant to the 500cc H1, and from that opening Ninja 600 to this newest ZX-6R, people major country is a Kawasaki sportbike heritage.
