Honda Motorcycle VFR1200F
“Revolutionary” is a buzzword that gets thrown around far too often, but I have to say that after riding Honda’s brand-new 2010 VFR1200F V-Four at the Sugo Circuit outside of Sendai, Japan, as well as on public roads nearby, this bike truly defines that expression.
Only 12 months after showing its V4 Concept model at the Intermot show in Germany in 2008, Honda has brought to market this radical new machine. Among its many innovative features and designs, the most exceptional is that it offers as an option the motorcycle industry’s first automatic dual-clutch transmission. Honda gave us the opportunity to ride the DCT and standard versions on the racetrack and on the street. Despite being identical motorcycles aside from their transmissions and related components, these bikes are completely different animals. If we were only discussing the standard model, we would say that Honda made some interesting technological changes to the VFR’s V-Four powerplant; but the DCTequipped model takes innovation to an entirely new level.
First, let’s get into the basic architecture shared by both models. At the core is a brand-new, liquid-cooled, 76-degree, 1237cc V-Four engine with CRF450R-inspired Unicam four-valve heads. The two front cylinders are located wide on the ends of the crankshaft while the rear two are side-byside closer to crank center. This combination allows the engine to be very narrow between the rider’s knees. No balance shaft is necessary as the crankshaft uses 28-degree-offset throws to allow perfect primary balance. Instead of trying to figure out how to equalize exhaust-header length between the front and rear cylinders, Honda’s engineers–led by project manager Yosuke
Hasegawa–decided to allow the two banks of cylinders to make their own unique power characteristics. According to Hasegawa-san, the combined effect is that of a paired set of parallel-Twins sharing a common crankshaft, the front two cylinders and their longer exhaust headers providing ample bottom-end torque and the rear pairing with much shorter headers producing good top-end power.Only 12 months after showing its V4 Concept model at the Intermot show in Germany in 2008, Honda has brought to market this radical new machine.

Power output is excellent. In fact, on the racetrack, the bike easily spun the sport-touring-oriented Dunlop rear tire exiting slower corners. Strong acceleration is available from as low as 4000 rpm, where Honda claims 90 percent of available torque is already present, and the engine pulls hard to its 10,000-rpm redline.
After the DCT or standard six-speed trans (with slippe clutch), both lead to a new shaft-drive system and singlesided swingarm, featuring a sliding CV joint to counter the changing arc of the rear wheel through its travel.

TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE BONNEVILLE SE 2010
2010 Triumph Bonneville SE
Extra pure Bonneville
Named after Triumph’s world speed record breaking exploits in the 1950s. Brought right up to date with the latest 21st century engineering.
The SE takes the standard Bonneville and adds that little bit more. Matching tacho and speedo, polished engine casings and a traditional chrome Triumph tank badge give the SE a look of its own, with an optional two-tone colour scheme delivering an even more individual look.
Great in the city, great on the open road. With its low seat height, easy-going 865cc parallel twin and lightweight alloy wheels, the Bonneville SE takes the legend to an all new audience.
Short mudguards front and rear, upswept megaphone silencers and cast alloy wheels give the Bonneville SE a retro ‘70s look, but thumb the starter and you’ve got a thoroughly modern interpretation of the classic British twin at your disposal.
Good design and quality engineering never go out of fashion. Neither does the Bonneville SE.
Features and Benefits
Engine
The Bonneville SE features a fuel injection system designed for clean running and to meet Euro 3 legislation. The retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like traditional carbs. Polished alloy side covers come as standard on the Bonneville SE.
Wheels
The Bonneville SE sports stylish lightweight 17” cast alloy wheels, creating an all new look and improving the bike’s agility and low speed handling characteristics.
Exhaust System
Stylish megaphone exhausts mimic those sported by the raciest bikes in the 1970's.
Brakes
The braking set-up of single front 310mm disc and 255mm rear, both worked on by powerful twin-piston calipers, offers sensitivity, control and ample stopping power.
Seat
The Bonneville SE’s comfortable seat is 1.3in lower than on previous models. Combined with a revised riding position, the Bonneville SE provides a more relaxed and accessible ride than ever before.
Chassis
The Bonneville SE’s low seat height (29.1inches) and low center of gravity make it a manageable motorcycle that all riders can appreciate. The tubular steel double cradle frame is incredibly strong while offering light and precise handling.

APRILIA MOTORCYCLE RSV4 FACTORY
OVERVIEW
A revolutionary project and a unique history of victories on the racetrack have come together to create the RSV4. A supersport with absolutely exclusive racing technology, developed around the 4 narrow V cylinder engine developed from the technical know-how that has led Aprilia to victory on racetracks all over the world. Aprilia RSV4 hits the racetrack and the roads with one goal only: to win.
33 championships, 254 MotoGP World Championship wins and 8 Superbike victories : over the last two decades Aprilia has become a modern motorcycling legend. The bikes from Noale have dominated tracks the world over thanks to the genial design, courage and extraordinary abilities of the technicians who pursued innovative solutions by experimenting, innovating and sometimes revolutionising technical schemes that seemed to be unchangeable. Aprilia RSV4 Factory, the bike that brings Aprilia back into the 2009 Superbike World Championship, is the product of this immense technical know-how. It is a highly technologically advanced motorcycle, conceived for racing and for this purpose designed and developed by Aprilia together with the marque's Race Division, the largest and most advanced of its kind in Europe and one of the most important in the world.
Aprilia RSV4 Factory is a racing machine that, in line with the Aprilia tradition, follows a completely innovative approach in its design and construction. Its narrow V engine, the use of state-of-the-art electronics,plus its lightness and extreme compactness are only a few of the features that make it unique in the world. Aprilia RSV4 Factory is designed and built with the same philosophy adopted by the Aprilia race division. This is why RSV4 Factory is the most “complete” Superbike racing replica, ready for those who want to venture onto the track with a class leading motorcycle.
The engine of the RSV4 Factory is the most innovative and powerful Aprilia has ever built. It is a super compact 999.6 cc 65° V-four cylinder engine designed for maximum power (180 CV), where powerplant engineering comes together with the finest materials and the most advanced electronic control solutions. Aprilia's engine, in fact, uses a Ride by Wire multimap technology, a solution that opens up new frontiers for engine management, with practically infinite possibilities for further development.
Besides the triple map Ride by Wire system, a sophisticated electronic injection system with two injectors and adjustable height ducts are fitted.
Aprilia RSV4 Factory is an absolute supersport motorcycle, the most complete bike available on the market for bike fans, and its chassis confirms this: designed for the racetrack, it has adjustment features that are typical of racing motorcycles. The adjustable geometry chassis allows parameters such as the position and inclination of the headstock, the height of the swingarm pin and even that of the engine to be changed. The construction technology is also motorsports-derived: the RSV4 Factory chassis and swingarm are made of aluminium with variable section castings and pressings.
The components are the state-of-the-art in motorcycling technology: Öhlins Racing fork, rear monoshock and steering damper, Brembo monobloc callipers, forged aluminium rims.
Aprilia RSV4 Factory is the new benchmark in the street legal superbike sector. The unique characteristics of the bike are listed as follows:
- Compact, innovative design
- New - and unique - 65° V-four cylinder engine
- Multi-adjustable perimetral aluminium alloy frame
- Adjustable engine position relative within frame
- Asymmetric aluminium swingarm
- Öhlins Racing full adjustable fork and rear monoshock.
