Ducati Hyperfighter – Supereme Naked Bike

Hot looking Ducati Hyperfighter that may make its show debut at this year’s EICMA at Milan. The bike will apparently use the Ducati 1098′s engine, chassis, suspension and brakes but the 1098′s full fairing will make way for streetfighter styling and minimal bodywork on the Ducati Hyperfighter . With looks to kill and performance to match, this streetfighter machine may just be the Italian bike maker’s new identity. The Ducati Hyperfighter will be the first Ducati equipped with the revolutionary new DIES (Ducati Integrated Exhaust System), wherein the exhaust is integrated with the sub frame of the bike, which itself is made of magnesium to keep the bike’s weight low. Apart from the new technology, Ducati will use loads of carbonfibre to further shave pounds off the bike. Add to the equation further reduction in weight owing to the dumped full-faring of the 1098 and you have one hell of a lightweight scotcher. Bring it on, Ducati!

Harley Davidson 2009 Unleashed

Harley Davidson has introduced it’s 2009 range of motorcycles. The seven touring models get a new chassis that combines a new frame, swingarm, wheels and tyres plus a redesigned exhaust and engine mounting. Harley-Davidson reckons the changes result in crisp manoeuvrability, more luggage capacity, enhanced heat management and increased rear tyre life.

In the power cruisers category, the new V­ Rod Muscle with its taut lines and the sweeping side-pipe exhaust takes the VRSC line in a new styling direction. Two other models, the Dyna Street Bob and the Heritage Softail Classic also receive a significant style makeover for 2009.

“Under the skin, our 2009 touring models are essentially new motorcycles,” said Bill Davidson, Harley-Davidson Vice President, Core Customer Marketing. “With the new V-Rod Muscle and technical and styling enhancements to other models, Harley­ Davidson motorcycles are leading edge with authentic heritage and original design:’

The Dyna Street Bob now has a new, slightly chopped rear fender. The powertrain is coloured black and the LED taillight is taken from an old-school custom. The Heritage Softail Classic range has been altered with taller handlebars. A Cat Eye console and optional chrome laced wheels with wide whitewall tires are a new inclusion on this model range.

The Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) has also come out with two new limited production models for 2009. Christened the CVO Fat Bob and the CVO Road Glide, the bikes are powered by the Scream in’ Eagle 110 v-twin engine. The CVO Ultra and CVO Springer have come back in 2009 owing to exceeding requests.

Some of the Sportster models have a retuned suspension and improved damping for better comfort. All Sportster and FX models have a new front fender, matching the radius of the front tyre better and giving the front a cleaner look. Harley-Davidson will offer six new colour combinations for 2009 in addition to three custom colour combinations.

Limited edition Suzuki GSX-Rs

In response to the feedback from its customers, Suzuki has launched three limited edition colour options for three of their superbikes in the UK. The 750CC GSX-R750 will be available in a rare orange and black paint scheme with only 17S GSX-R750 units on sale. The bigger GSX-RlOOO will be sold in special pearl white and metallic silver. They, however, have not declared how many units will be made available. The hyper tourer, Hayabusa too gets a limited edition treatment with the company offering it in the same colour scheme as the GSX-R1000. Only 200 such bikes will be made. Suzuki says that constant feedback and demand from customers for special colours made them introduce a limited edition run of these three popular models.

Honda’s new braking technology

Honda has come out with what they claim is the world’s first electronically-controlled combined ABS for supers port motorcycles. The system is aimed at merging the basic advantages of ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) and CBS (Combined Braking System) systems while specifically addressing the requirements in a Super sport context. They have incorporated the new braking system on the CBR600RR to judge the response from automotive journalists. Most of us would remember the CBS that Honda used on the BlackBird and how it was hated by enthusiasts. However, this new system is based on a completely different concept. In order to achieve the best from the system, it will be executed taking into account particular characteristics of supers port bikes such as a short wheelbase in case of the 600RR. The combined ABS system consists of an electronically controlled combined brake-by-wire system with an innovative stroke simulator that electronically controls the brakes. It is aimed at not upsetting the bike’s stability during mid corner braking. Essentially, the levers aren’t connected hydraulically to the calipers. Instead an electronically controlled unit apportions brake forces appropriately. A servo then replicates feel at the lever. Further, there is the use of electric motors supplying high pressure braking and a very clever ECU that detects wheel lock (front and rear) via wheel speed sensors, machine speed and engine RPM.

In short, all the basic ABS and CBS functions are provided including the prevention of wheel lock, improved balance and easy operation. This is achieved without any compromise to stability during ABS operation. Pitching is minimized so that the bike keeps its normal position. Overall, sport riding performance is uninterrupted as cornering feel remains the same and controllability is enhanced. Honda aims to introduce this on all 250CC and above bikes by 2010. As for how enthusiasts will respond to it remains to be seen.

Suzuki Alstare debuts Bio Motorbike

A couple of months back, bikes india carried news of the fuel-cell powered Crosscage concept from Suzuki that is”close to production. Making news this time around are Suzuki’s WSBK partners, Alstare – a company formerly known for their hospitality services for various motorsport teams.

The World Superbike team recently unveiled their first prototype bio-fuel powered Suzuki GSX-R1000 that made its debut at the Monza round of the WSBK championship. The bike runs on environment friendly E85 fuel consisting of 85 percent bio-ethanol and 15 percent petrol.

The prototype, however, met with a tragic launch when a freelance journalist crashed it during the test. Thus, the bio-fuel powered GSX­ RlOOO couldn’t be evaluated by many. Nonetheless, the bike has proved to be a clear insight into how high-performance machines and race engines too can adapt to environmentally friendly fuel.

The engineers at Alstare have been working closely with their partners Suzuki and fuel-injection system specialists, Magneti Marelli for several years to show this project the light of day. While initial tests were made on a low-cost, low-performance ATV, the trio successfully managed to port this technology onto the higher capacity Gixxer engine.

There are no official plans to mass produce the bio-fuel conversion.

Alstare does have plans to research a bio-diesel powered ATV to cater to developing nations where rising costs of petrol is hampering activities like farming.
