I’m thinking the turbo are made from highly advanced machinery, but after watching this video, I’m amazed to see the amount of human touch involved in it.

At 200 miles per hour, I think you don’t want your turbo to be second class.

This new Yamaha Nouvo LX a.k.a Nouvo LC in Malaysia has shown that you can make good thing to become better. I love how the meter cluster looks in this new Nouvo LX. It looks much more superbike meter cluster that usually have the RPM meter and digital speedometer display (but I’m not sure whether that is RPM meter on the Nouvo LX). (more…)
