Yamaha YZF-R1

Starting with the FZR1000 in 1987, Yamaha introduced several motorcycle engineering firsts including the boxed aluminum "DeltaBox" frame, advanced intake and exhausts technologies including a 5 valve-per-cylinder head and an exhaust EXUP power-valve. The engines usable power output was dramatically improved throughout the entire RPM range and featured one of the flattest power curves ever seen on a motorcycle. The aluminum Deltabox frame was very light and rigid when compared to steel and both handling and braking were vastly improved over the old-style steel cradle frames. These numerous advances made the FZR1000 a veritable "tour de force" and it was voted "bike of the decade" by many who found it to be quite capable both on and off the track.

For the next four years Yamaha enjoyed significant sales and racing success, however in 1992 Honda introduced the CBR900RR Fireblade which was essentially a marriage of the chassis used for their 600cc motorcycles with an over-bored 750cc engine. Even though the Fireblades weren't as powerful as the FZR1000, it was lighter and shorter which resulted in much quicker handling. It took Yamaha four years to realize the significant weight and power changes that were introduced in the short-lived YZF1000R "ThunderAce". Still, the YZF1000R was based on the original Genesis engine which was canted forward sharply causing the wheelbase to be longer than the Fireblades An all-new YZF-R1 for the 2007 model year was announced on 9 October, 2006. Key features include an all-new inline four-cylinder engine; going back to a more conventional 4-valve per cylinder rather than Yamaha's trade mark 5-valve genesis layout. Other new features are the Yamaha Chip Control Intake (YCC-I) electronic variable-length intake funnel system, Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) fly-by-wire throttle system, slipper-type clutch, all-new aluminum Deltabox frame and swingarm, six-piston radial-mount front brake calipers with 310 mm discs, a wider radiator, and M1 styling on the new large ram-air ports in the front fairing. 2008 brought BNG and the ability to buy limited edition Fiat plastics.

SPYDER TRIKE

The Can Am Spyder roadster is a very strange beast indeed. For one, it doesn't fit in any established vehicle category. Perhaps it's easier to imagine that it descended from a snowmobile and ended up as a reverse trike; two wheels up front, one at the rear. The spyder's performance is comparable to a superbike, but its ATV-derived chassis gives it greater stability and handling. Beneath its unique look is a performance-oriented 106 hp, 998cc engine.

My Suzuki Shogun R...

Now im thinking for daily convenience is a big part of my Suzuki Shogun r 125cc. (2004 model). You'll see it in the spacious storage area, in the bright, visibility- promoting lights, in the accurate, easy-to-read instruments, and even in the features that reduce the chance of theft. A bright LED stop lamp is built into the grab bar above the sporty tail lamp.The sparkling, triangle-motif headlight combines brightness with sporty looks. A huge 10.3-litre storage area means there's abundant space for luggage. With four-stroke operation and other advanced technologies, the Suzuki Shogun's. 125cc engine gives powerful performance, great fuel economy, and low emission. Acceleration is particularly good at the speeds used around in the town of lingayen...
