Jedi Motors To Debut The Vision K750 Sportbike Soon

Jedi Motors, a new motorcycle manufacturer from China, had expressed interest in entering the global market. Now, it seems that this plan is becoming a reality as the company has announced its latest sportbike, the Vision K750.

Jedi Motors is another Chinese motorcycle company aims to make it big in the global market.
The Vision K750 is Jedi’s first attempt to penetrate the two-wheel segment.

Set to debut in 2023, the Vision K750 started as a futuristic concept before gradually evolved into a production-ready model in late 2022, with significant changes to its styling.

While the concept looked like it belonged in the Star Wars universe, the production model’s aesthetics now resemble the MV Agusta F3, with diamond-shaped headlights and aggressive lines on the bodywork.

The sportbike appears to feature premium technology, including radially mounted Brembo calipers, inverted forks, a rear monoshock, and a single-sided swingarm on the rear end.

Mechanically, the Vision K750 is expected to feature a 730cc liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, parallel-twin engine, with an output of around 70 horsepower.

It is uncertain whether it will have an uneven firing order or a 180-degree crank, but it will likely be comparable in power to the Kawasaki Ninja 650 and Yamaha YZF-R7.

SW-Motech Introduces Compact Tank Bag For Ducati DesertX

SW-Motech introduced a new clip-on tank bag for the all-capable Ducati DesertX for 2023.

The DesertX is Ducati first ever fully-capable off-road motorcycle.
At the heart sits the 937cc Testastretta 11-degree Desmodromic engine capable of producing 110hp @ 9,250rpm and 92Nm @ 6,500rpm.

Dubbed one of the most exciting motorcycles to come out of the Borgo Panigale factory, the DesertX is the firm’s maiden attempt at a proper off-road-focused ADV machine.

That said, it’s not surprising that there are more aftermarket parts available for the DesertX including SW-Motech’s latest PRO Micro Tank Bag.

Completely expandable, the bag offers extra space to stash your essentials including your smartphone, power bank, action cameras, documents and more.

Thanks to the bag’s laminated EVA shell and a water-resistant inner coating, the shape will remain intact whilst offering better protection from the rain.

Also, if you need that extra assurance, the contents can be separated with mesh-divide compartments to ensure that every stuff you put in would not get smashed against one another.

According to SW-Motech, the tank bag is also glove-friendly thanks to large zip pulls.

Interestingly, the PRO Micro Tank Bag is designed to be fitted centrally on the DesertX fuel tank, allowing easy access to its off-centre fuel-filler cap.

To those interested, the SW-Motech Pro Micro Tank Bag is priced at GBP112.96 (RM597).

BMW To Bring Back Electric-Assist Centerstand

Powered-assisted centre stand was an option back in 2004 with the BMW K 1200 LT, which combines electrics and hydraulics to allow for easier lift.

However, the latest patent application has confirmed that the German marquee is set to bring back the electric centre stand but with improved features.

According to Cycle World, the component works like a conventional centre stand but minus the effort. Therefore, it differs vastly from the slow, push-button-operated system on the K 1200 LT.

While we understand that an electric-powered centre stand is not a priority for modern motorcycles, some would appreciate such innovation, typically riders who need help to lift a 300kg beast.

Also, if it’s relatively cheap to develop and does not affect the price tag, we’d say go for it.

The patent tells us that the power comes into play when the stand touches the ground after you push it down with your foot. That said, the conventional way of applying the centre stand still applies in this case.

The system also allows the stand to be retracted manually without waiting for it to retract electrically.

Nevertheless, similar to other patents, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the system will be incorporated into production bikes anytime soon. However, with BMW expected to debut a range of heavyweight motorcycles, there is a possibility that the system could be adopted earlier than expected.
