APRILIA MOTORCYCLE 850 GT ABS

A completely new motorcycling concept, the result of technological expertise, the courage to believe in innovation and be daring which is Aprilia's hallmark together with attention paid to motorcyclists' needs and a tendency to look to the future: Mana 850 GT ABS is a complete motorcycle, the new frontier, the missing link in an evolution that makes the world of motorcycling and its emotions accessible to all types of user.

Sportgear sequential/automatic transmission, radial brake callipers, helmet compartment, upside down forks, Aprilia Mana combines the potential of the motorbike with an unmatched functional nature and flexibility of use. A unique bike in the motorcycling world with a potentially endless number of variations: this is the Aprilia Mana GT 850, the version that extends the proverbial versatility of the 850 cc produced in Noale even further.

The Mana GT version is designed to do just that: an elegant half-fairing perfectly integrated in the lines of the bike protects both rider and passenger on long journeys as well as in daily commuting making the bike ideal for touring.

Royal Enfield Motorcycle Bullet C5 Classic EFI


Royal Enfield is now proud to present the all-new Bullet Classic C5: a modern reworking of the old legend, taking its styling cues from the simplicity of our earliest 1950’s machines and combining that celebrated design and heritage with all the advantages of today’s EFI technology.
In the 77th year since its first production, Royal Enfield presents the marque motorcycle in its "Classic" form. Donning a younger look resplendent with styling cues one would expect only from a genuine Royal Enfield: single cylinder air-cooled pushrod engine, 1950s style nacelle and toolboxes, traditional paint scheme and buffed engine components.
For 50 years, the Royal Enfield Bullet has been synonymous with refined, classic cool
and a bike handcrafted to perfection. Royal Enfield is now proud to present the new
Bullet Classic C5: a modern reworking of the old legend, taking its styling cues from the
simplicity of our earliest 1950’s machines and combining that celebrated design and
heritage with all the advantages of today’s EFI technology.
The original heart and soul are intact. The post World War II styling, body-colored frame,
die-cast headlight casing, authentic post-war fuel tank graphics, knee pads and single saddle
seat with springs of the original remain. What’s changed? The powerful new Euro III compliant,
fully integrated electronic fuel injection engine brings the Bullet C5 roaring into the future.



Features and Benefits:
•All-new, fully-integrated unit construction engine
•Beautiful vintage styling based on our earliest post-war models
•Body-colored frame

Husaberg Motorcycle FE390 Enduro 2010


Completely different. The new generation Husaberg Enduro.

Key Features


The fully adjustable 48 mm fork from WP Suspension has been further optimised to ensure even more responsive handling and provide high damping reserves. Combined with the increased 22 mm offset (previously 19 mm) of the CNC-machined triple clamps, this guarantees more reliable front wheel control.

Airbox

Positioned directly behind the fuel cap, it is covered by the front section of the seat. The airbox’s elevated position guarantees the intake of cool, clean air and maximum wading depth. The intake duct is in the direct downdraft from the filter to the cylinder.

Tank

The slim, 8.5 litre tank runs far below the seat to provide an optimal centre of gravity and is equipped with both a compact fuel pump and new reserve sensor. The transparent polyethylene also enables the fill level to be determined at a glance.

Exhaust System


The integration of the stainless steel exhaust manifold offers optimum protection from rock damage and keeps the rider from coming into direct contact with it.

Brakes

The latest Brembo front brake with optimised front brake pads for maximum braking performance at minimal effort. Effective single-piston brake caliper in the rear. Ultra-light wave discs for the ultimate braking performance and better self-cleaning of the brakes.

PDS Shock

Fully adjustable WP PDS shock with optimised setting for even more traction. Adjustable rebound damping and variable high and low speed compression damping guarantee the perfect configuration for all conditions.

Frame

Light double-cradle perimeter frame made of chrome-molybdenum. Guarantees the greatest torsional rigidity and secure tracking stability. Extremely slender lower tube loops. Minimal overall width. Unbeatable ground clearance.

Silencer

Especially light and made of highquality aluminium, the silencer assures compliance with all official noise limits.

Subframe

Cross-linked polyethylene (PE) ensures that the plastic construction has the highest stability values and a reduced weight at the same time. Many electric components have been perfectly imbedded in the rear fender.
