YZF-R15 One Make Race Championship – Season 2010 inches closer to culmination

Chennai, December 2^nd, 2010: After successfully zooming through four rounds of R15 One Make Race Championship, India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. is set to organize the fifth & final round of the championship. The final round of 5 leg championship, organized as part of SIDVIN-FMSCI National Motorcycle Racing Championship 2010, will be held on 4^th and 5^th December at Madras Motor Race Track in Sriperumbudur. This year, Yamaha R15 One Make Race Championship was open to participation from both Yamaha and Non-Yamaha customers.
Riding on Yamaha’s Super Sports YZF-R15, the contestants experienced the breathtaking acceleration of the bikes on a race circuit. Loaded with true Yamaha DNA – Performance, Innovation & Design, YZF-R15 provided complete racing experience to the biking enthusiasts and hands on feel of its riding, cornering and braking abilities. Yamaha made their experience more exciting by mounting Daytona Racing kits in the bikes. The racing kit includes Racing Exhaust system, Racing ECU (Engine Control Unit), High Lift Cam Shaft and Petal shaped large Disc. These kits are developed using valuable experience gained from MotoGP racing and are designed exclusively for racing purposes in a closed circuit.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Yutaka Terada, Director – Sales & Marketing, India Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. said, “All the four rounds of Yamaha R15 One Make Race Championship have been very exciting. We are very happy with the level of participation and responses from our customers. Our mission is to revolutionize the biking culture in India by giving Indian youth an exposure of international level racing competition and we commit to continue to organize more such racing events in the future.”
Two riders (One from each Class: NOVICE & EXPERT) will be given a chance to participate in the “YAMAHA ASEAN CUP RACE” to be held in Malaysia later this month. The riders can further get a chance to compete in “ASIA ROAD RACE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 600cc Class” based on their performance in Yamaha ASEAN Cup Race-2010. Rider selected based on his results in the ASIA ROAD RACE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE 600cc Class can make his Life Time Dream come true as he could get a chance to participate in the Grand Prix.
The technology in YZF-R15 has percolated from YZF-R1 (Deltabox frame/ Fuel Injection/ 6 speed gearbox/ styling/ Liquid Cooled 4V engine). Just like R1, it is light weight, has power on demand, besides having centralized mass, stopping power, aerodynamics, ergonomics and stability/rigidity. It also has the controllability and maneuverability to maximize riding/ cornering/ braking performance.
Yamaha’s corporate culture has always given special importance to Motorsports as a way of expressing the ‘Spirit of challenge’ the company values so highly. R15 One Make Race is one of the biggest initiatives by Yamaha to take racing culture to new heights in India and has proved to be very successful in its objective. Carrying forward the racing legacy, Yamaha aims to take the racing culture and spirit in India to the next level.

new YZF-R1-YAMAHA

We jump on, turn the key and the instruments spring to life. A rapid push of the starter button and also the motor fires by having an odd resonance - somewhere between an over-cammed small-block and a fighter jet. It's a lumpy-sounding idle though the engine spins smoothly under our chest. The kickstand's still down, therefore the fellow from Yamaha who is trusting us together with his bike gets inside a quick warning. "Spend playtime with it; just do not kill yourself, Fine?" he says.

He has justified reason to be worried. We're planning to ride away on the 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1, the business's top-of-the-line sport bike. It includes a 998cc, inline four-cylinder engine that puts out 180 horsepower. Not much of a massively outstanding number in a car world perhaps, however consider that the engine only has to move 454 pounds of bike. That is only 2.5 pounds per hp. The Bugatti Veyron is stuck with 4.2 kilos for each hp.

Even more shocking is how a R1's astounding overall performance may be had for this kind of little money. Even our limited-edition unit which mimics the Moto GP race bike of ace driver Valentino Rossi costs only $14,400-500, or about the price of a modestly prepared entry-level car. For this sum, you get a motorcycle that may annihilate virtually any production supercar created today in a heads-up stoplight drag.

The Yamaha V-Max
This powerful and reliable V4 engine motorcycle has been designed to provide riders with an unforgettable combination of innovation and acceleration. This motorcycle is powered by the all-new liquid-cooled 4-stroke V4 engine. Four unbeatable features that distinguish this bike from others on the market include:

1. Wicked acceleration feeling, together with strong performance.
2. Individual, precise and sharp handling.
3. A superior chassis with unique bodywork.
4. In compliance with EU3 regulations.

The Yamaha YZF-R1Y
This innovative and exciting motorcycle has been designed with the all-new 998cc engine whose design, feel and make-up has been influenced by Rossi's championship winning M1, the new high-tech R1 powerplant is very much linked to a Moto GP bike. Unique features of this bike include:

1. An entirely redesigned aluminium Deltabox chassis.
2. Hard-line new styling give the new-generation YZF-R1 a major new look.
3. Sets a new standard for the super-competitive 1000cc supersport category

2010-2011 The YAMAHA-YZF-R1

2010-2011 The YAMAHA-YZF-R1

The 2011 Yamaha R1 represents a paradigm shift in technology, performance and controllability among litre class sport bikes. Inspired by Yamaha's M1 MotoGP race bike, this latest generation R1 features a crossplane crankshaft design with an uneven firing order to provide outstanding yet easy to control torque and an exceptionally linear throttle feel never experience before. But there is far more to the 2011 Yamaha R1 than just a revolutionary engine.

The 2011 R1 … Yamaha's technical "Tour de Force."

The R1 has been designed to be the "Ultimate Cornering Master" of the open super sport class and one of the keys to incredible handling lies partly in the chassis but equally as important, in its ability to put useable power to the ground. This revolutionary cross-plane crank R1 delivers as much power as the rider wants, exactly when the rider wants it … by a simple twist of the right wrist; leaving the rider feeling like they are directly connected to the rear wheel of the revolutionary R1.

The purchase of a motorbike can be a time consuming and very involved process. One of the main reasons that this is true is because of the high number of manufacturers that all promise to have the best available bike on the market for your purchase. Two of the top manufacturers in the industry today for producing motorbikes are Yamaha and Suzuki. Both of these companies produce dependable, high quality motorcycles and motorbikes that have gained the interest of enthusiasts around the world for many years.

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is one of Suzuki's leading and more popular models. Two of the reasons for this are because this machine has loads of torque and a very powerful engine. This means that the bike will be able to accelerate quickly off the line. A combination of simple on board functions and a light weight body makes this motorbike very easy to handle and maneuver around corners. The Suzuki GSX-R1000 has a larger 4.8 gallon fuel tank which allows you to hold more fuel for increased ride time and less stops for refueling.

The GSX-R1000 brand new is sold for around $11,000 which is very reasonable considering the quality of motorbike you are getting. There are a number of color combinations available including blue and white, red and black, and silver and gray. This bike can be purchased at just about any Suzuki dealer or where used bikes are sold which there are many different possibilities. The GSX-R1000 is sold with a 1 year unlimited warranty when the bike is sold brand new. This bike, new or used, is definitely well worth the cost.

Appearances FZ160 able to defeat the specifications and performance V-Ixion

Ok, in terms of appearance FZ160 certainly look more fierce. Because the base model used is the Yamaha FZ6 and FZ1 streetfighter who is true. And as usual here is the appearance of all things, as well as soap operas where the performance artist looks is more important than acting ability. The following advantages compared FZ 160 V-Ixion:

1. Rear tire size of 140 was recorded higher than the Kawasaki Ninja 250R though.
2. Bison FZ160 exhaust form that resembles YZF-R6 is much more beautiful than the stock muffler's V-Ixion.
3. FZ160 a large tank in addition to support the appearance is also convenient to support
4. FZ160 more modern headlamps headlamp ketibang V-Ixion is still retro
5. Although tuna radiator but FZ160 engine fully visible, while the V-Ixion Hollow.
6. In overalls bull-like shape FZ160 more handsome than the conventional V-Ixion

So if FZ160 Bison released before the V-Ixion Vixi fate could be not as good now. But that certainly should YMKI pleased to soon release this bike, considering the price is below Vixi at least they are not only able to increase sales but also capable of attacking yamaha 125cc motorcycle as Bajaj XCD 125, Thunder until megapro. ... Is subjective you know!

Pilih Bison apa MegaPro?

Many wonder how the actual performance of V-Ixion with some of his closest rival. Apparently there is a test such as the following will be reviewed. But before, warn, warn to you all that we have to give two important notes on this test:


1. Most of the content of the test (test) this seems to be off the track alias using a dyno. We also do not have enough information about the "means" what is using that to determine the level of accuracy.

2. Another important factor is the extent to which the level of public accountability if the tests carried out by interested parties. Because this test is performed by the Yamaha itself as educational materials, aka product knowledge for sales, marketing and service division of them.


Although the outcome is debatable, but at least could be a reference for you before doing the tests themselves are factual.

2011 Yamaha Raptor 125 Picture

2011 Yamaha Raptor 125 Rear View

2011 Yamaha Raptor 125 Side View

2011 Yamaha Raptor 125 Engine

Engine and Powertrain

The Raptor 125 is run by a 124 cc four stroke SOHC engine, but don’t let the small size fool you, the engine delivers a large amount of power for its size. And this power is delivered to the wheels via a five speed gearbox with a manual clutch. A three chambered muffler, taken from the Raptor 250, ensures a good output for both low and mid range performance.

The engine itself is fitted with a single-axis counterbalance, which reduces the vibrations and adds to a more comfortable ride. Electric starting is standard on the bike, which gives a hassle free use. And a 29mm carburetor from MikuniTM gives you a good throttle response in all performance levels.

Chassis and Suspension

The Raptor 125 features a 28 inch seat, which is low enough to provide a good amount of comfort for the rider. On the other hand, the handlebars are placed in an ideal position to further improve rider comfort.

Much of the 125’s suspension is derived from its predecessor, the 250. This means that you will get a pretty good set of equipment here. For instance, the front suspension uses a double wishbone system with five way preloaded shocks for better wheel control. Each shock absorber is adjustable to suit the settings you want. And the bike comes with triple disc brakes for better stopping control.

Other Features

One of the things that ATV’s must have is a good looking set of wheels. And for the 125, this comes in the form of 19- and 18-inch Maxxis tires for the front and back respectively. At the front, you have a large headlight that provides a good amount of lighting during night drives. Lastly, an eccentric chain adjuster allows for easy access when doing maintenance work on the bike.

Because of the strength of that, Yamaha was spry and provides a variety of safety features, although it is still optional. Features such as anti-lock brake system (ABS) are available for potential owners and Fazer8 FZ8.

Yamaha Luncurkan Yamaha FZ-S

In Indonesia, Yamaha is still delaying Byson presence. But in India there, Byson now present a more muscular.

Byson that in India known as the FZ16 faces made his appearance through the colors of the new striping and new graphic design.

In addition to the FZ16, Yamaha also introduces the brand-new look of premium motor FZ-S.

Yamaha calls the new style of the street fighter FZ16 and FZ-S as Stylish Macho. This work is done Yamaha to attract young people and about 100,000 users satisfy both motors.

2011 Ducati Monster 796 First Ride

His insatiable thirst for life is only surpassed by his monthly fuel bill. Whether rocketing on land, flying through the air, or jumping the seas, our Associate Editor does it all and has the scars to prove it.

Italian motorcycle manufacturer, Ducati has released its first new model of the season: the 2011 Ducati Monster 796. This mid-range street bike fills the void between the entry-level personality of the Monster 696 and the advanced road performance of the Monster 1100. With a base price of $9995, the 796 is a sensible choice for motorcyclists looking for an amusing and easy-to-maneuver motorbike that’s ideal for jaunting in-or-around the city.

The beauty of the Monster line is that the basic architecture of the bikes, including the chassis, air/oil-cooled V-Twin engine configuration, and sleek minimalist body panels are shared between models. However a closer look reveals there are some key differences between this one and its siblings.

The primary difference that distinguishes the mid-level Monster is its use of a 4-valve, 803cc V-Twin, identical to the unit employed in the Hypermotard 796 street bike. Compared to the other Monsters this engine is in a higher state of tune, employing an 11.1:1 compression ratio (versus the Monster 696/1100’s 10.7:1 ratio) courtesy of pistons with a different crown shape. Fuel is received from a 3.8-gallon fuel tank through 45mm throttle bodies, each equipped with a single fuel-injector. Exhaust is piped through a 2-1-2 stainless-steel configuration that terminates with twin shorty-style under-tail mufflers. Each header pipe is fitted with an oxygen sensor which ensures optimum engine running conditions.

A six-speed transmission and a hydraulically-operated APTC clutch control the engine’s power through a chain drive. Furthermore the clutch is bathed within the engine’s oil supply enhancing reliability and reducing noise as compared to the racing-style ’dry’ clutches used on the 1198 Superbike. The clutch also incorporates a slipper/back torque limiting functionality which helps prevent the rear wheel instability during downshifts at high rpm.

The engine is cradled in a lipstick-red steel trellis frame. It attaches to a reworked subframe which is compatible with passenger grab handles that are available as a Ducati accessory ($129). The 796 also gets the same well-crafted single-sided aluminum swingarm as used on the more expensive 1100 model.

Suspension is comprised of a Showa inverted fork and an Sachs hydraulic shock that is mounted directly between the frame and swingarm without a linkage. Although the fork doesn’t offer any damping adjustment, the shock provides spring preload and rebound tuning abilities.

The 796 rolls on a pair of beautiful black 5-spoke cast-aluminum wheels featuring a small red pin stripe around the edge to draw attention to them when in motion. Attached to the front wheel is a pair of 320mm brake discs clamped by a radial-mount four-piston Brembo calipers. Rear brake consists of a solo 245mm disc pinched by a twin-piston caliper. Both brake systems are powered hydraulically through stainless-steel lines. Anti-lock brakes are also available as an option on the new machine however pricing is TBD. Lastly, the wheels are shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires in sizes 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 rear. Hop into the seat and the first thing you’ll notice is how similar it feels to the smaller 696 model. The bike feels short and skinny, which makes it easy to manhandle on the road. The seat height measures 31.5 in. above the ground which is 0.4 in. lower than the 1100, and 1.2 in. taller than the 696. Grabbing a hold of the aluminum handlebar isn’t as much of a stretch compared to other Monsters courtesy of the bar risers that elevate the bar position by nearly an inch.

Thumb the starter button and the new Ducati fires to life with deep, thumping exhaust note. Surprisingly, the 796 doesn’t get the same sleek slimline switch gear as used on some of the Italian manufacturer’s other new street bikes, including the Streetfighter. Instrumentation is comprised of a small, yet functional, white-backlit LCD display that is both easy to read and quickly operated via the switchgear on the left handlebar.Clutch lever pull is light and offers 4-way lever position adjustment to accommodate different sized hands. The clutch also delivers an ample level of feel for riders who might not have a lot of experience launching a motorcycle. The lower first gear ratio only adds to its user-friendly demeanor when pulling away from a stop. Switching between the remaining five gears was smooth and trouble-free, though we wish the gearbox felt tighter.

Twist the throttle and this Monster delivers a much more robust spread of power compared to the smaller 696. Sure, it won’t win any drag races against a modern liquid-cooled sportbike, yet it will still surprise you with just how much torque it cranks out at low-to-mid rpm. The engine has plenty of juice to loft the front wheel in first gear and is capable of bursts of speed whenever it’s revved out to redline. While the engine delivers a bit of vibration, it never becomes annoying, even at freeway speeds.

In terms of handling the 796 feels every bit as nimble as its smaller sibling. Direction changes can be accomplished with a light touch of the handlebar. The center of gravity also feels low which aids in steering and railing around corners. Though suspension spring rates are calibrated for lighter riders, when pushed this Monster still delivers enough grin-inducing performance for even an experienced, sport-oriented pilot. The bike we rode came equipped with the optional ABS system. By default the system is always on, but you can disable it easily by navigating through the menu system on the instrument display. Braking power and feel is adequate and we appreciated the added confidence provided by the ABS. But we were more impressed by the fact that you can quickly turn it off with a few clicks of a button if you‘re feeling mischievous. We also appreciated that the position of the brake lever could be moved based on rider preference.

If you’re a motorcyclist who covers a lot of ground in the city then the $9995 Monster 796 is a bike you need to consider. It’s an easy machine to ride, looks awesome, and is compact enough to slice through any urban gridlock. Its peppy air-cooled engine not only delivers punchy acceleration but a level of charisma that is sadly missing from many other street bikes in this same price point segment.
