Yamaha might just have a 250cc machine on its garage. This YZF-R25 which is based on the beautiful YZF-R15 has been talked a lot in India’s blogs and forum and also in Indonesia. If it is released, it will fight heavily with Suzuki Inazuma 250, Honda CBR250R, Kawasaki Ninja 250R and also Naza Blade 250R. Yamaha is known for their great styling and top quality machine. There are many fans of Yamaha waiting for this bike. I’m waiting for it too.

Thanks to Muhammad Khairul Wafi on Facebook for the tips.

NOTE: The picture above is just a suggestion picture about the R25, not the actual bike,  the bike might be different in real thing.

ZX-6R has now officially released in New York and will be available in US and Europe but not in Malaysia for now. The bike has return to use the 636cc engine which replaced the 599cc previously. The 636cc is made by increasing the stroke of the engine from 42.5mm to 45.1mm. We can expect better torque around the low to midrange power band and this provide the bike better power handling from the engine. The power of this bike are massive considering is only a ‘600’ bike for 131hp at 13,500RPM. The torque are recorded 70.5Nm at 11,500RPM.  (more…)

I have to respect Kawasaki for their effort in winning hearts of the bikers in the world. They have been aggressive this year in introducing new interesting bikes for all of us. After the surprise of the new Ninja 250R, we are awaken with the new Z800 for the Z750 replacement and also by the Ninja 300 just few days ago.  Now, they are giving us the 2013 Kawasaki ZX6R with 636cc.

I have replaced the stock Yamaha gas rear suspension with a new product from Motor Star which is the 2-spring. As the name suggests, this Motor Star rear suspension comes with two different spring thickness attached to the suspension setup. Two different thickness of the spring means that it have difference rebound rate. The thinner one at the bottom are used to absorb the small bump and maintain the comfort when riding in straight line. The one that is thicker on the top is used to absorb harsher and bigger bumps on the road. In theory, this would be a great setup setup since the suspension are now not too hard or too soft.  (more…)

Riders in Thailand get to see this newly launched fuel-efficient tough scooter named Honda Zoomer X. Look closely to the picture above and you can see the upside down fork equipped front fork which is rather unusual for scooter for this category. The wheel are 12-inch with tubeless tyre for less hassle maintanance.  (more…)

Kawasaki is getting more aggressive in winning riders and enthusiasts of motorcycle by introducing more and more interesting and important model to the world. The latest news is the leaked information about the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 which is might be coming soon in Europe, Canada and America.The bike will feature 296cc for maximum output of 40hp from its twin-cylinder twin-butterfly valve fuel-injected engine. Looking at the above picture from AsphalatandRubber, I’m not sure whether it refers to the Ninja 300 or not since it is looking identical to the Ninja 250R. Confirmed, it is Ninja 300 picture as released by motoblog.it. (more…)

Cheap to buy, easy to modified. The recipe for a great tuner’s bike.

After the leaked images of the Kawasaki Ninja 250R which is absolutely beautiful and desirable, Kawasaki has up the ante with the new leaked images of the Kawasaki Z750 replacement, the Z800. The design of the Z800 retain the naked look with sharp lines and double ‘squinting eye’ headlight. It looks Japanese enough in terms of styling. The replacement bike get another 50cc upgrade for better power and torque. There are several competitors in 800cc category namely the popular BMW F800GS and Triumph Tiger 800, but very few from Japanese. So, this Z800 might be one of the best seller from Kawasaki soon.

Munich/Shanghai. To meet the rigorous demands of time trial athletes, NeilPryde Bikes is introducing the new Bayamo and Bayamo+, the third line of frames created through the ongoing partnership with BMW Group DesignworksUSA’s team in Asia. Bayamo joins the Alize and Diablo high performance road bikes that were launched to high acclaim in 2010, and signified NeilPryde’s first entries to the biking segment. The Bayamo shares its name with a fierce Caribbean coastal wind, referencing both NeilPryde’s roots in sailing and windsurfing and also the fighting spirit of the athletes that will pilot this bike to victory.

“DesignworksUSA drew upon NeilPryde’s legendary sense of adventure and competition in marine sports to help create their first bikes, the Alize and Diablo”, says Laurenz Schaffer, President BMW Group DesignworksUSA.“Now Bayamo adds a time trial athlete to the growing product family, bringing NeilPryde Bikes’ design DNA together with cutting edge approaches to achieve light weight, high strength and wind-cheating aerodynamics”, Schaffer concludes.

High-modulus, unidirectional C6.7 carbon fiber comprises the Bayamo’s frame, providing an incredibly strong yet extremely lightweight foundation for the bike. This dichotomy is echoed by the frame’s profile, which appears substantial and flat from the side yet thin and light when viewed from the front or rear. Aerodynamic efficiency is critical for the time-trial cyclist, and NeilPryde’s computational fluid dynamic analysis and wind tunnel testing shaped the character lines along the Bayamo’s frame together with its distinct “Kamm” tail at the rear. All drivetrain and shifting cables are routed internally within the frame, further advancing both the aesthetics and aerodynamics of the Bayamo. While the unique and elegant dropout mechanism, exclusive to Bayamo, enables precise positioning of the rear wheel. Bayamo also benefits from a graphics package created by DesignworksUSA.  (more…)
