2014 HONDA CBR300R New Design

The new Honda CBR 300 has increased displacement creating more power than the previous version of the 250 with 30.4 Hp and 19.9ft-lbs of torque. The 2014 Honda CBR 300 has an increase in displacement by lengthening the stroke length, increased 8mm from 55mm to the new length of 63mm giving the CBR 300 a new displacement of 286cc. While the previous version of the Honda CBR already had excellent drivability with great low end torque. The New Honda CBR 300 will be even better. First gear wheelies were already easy on the previous Honda CBR , but now it's going to be even easier to lift the front wheel of the Honda CBR 300 off the ground.

Although Honda doesn’t release official sales figures to the media, it is no secret that the CBR250R has been a red-hot seller since its release in 2011. Out of the gate, the littlest CBR was priced right (under $4000), and offered the quality and refinement that we’ve come to expect from Honda over the years.

Honda revised the 6-speed gearing, with the last one now longer and thus making high-speed highway runs a lot easier and funnier. The 286cc single-cylinder was obtained by stroking out the one in the quarter-liter machine and the result is better acceleration and less vibrations.

Coming to the brakes and tyres, the CBR 300R will get much bigger brakes both in the front and the rear C-ABS will be available as an option in this upcoming model. 110/70-17 and 140/70-17 will be the size of the tire doing duties in the new CBR300R in the front and the rear respectively.

New Custom 2014 Harley Davidson Dyna Super Gilde

The Harley-Davidson Dyna motorcycles feature styling inspired by the ‘70s spirit of self-expression teamed with modern performance. The H-D Dyna family was introduced in 1991 with the release of a limited-production FXDB Sturgis model. The Motor Company built the Dyna as a replacement for the FXR.

The 2014 Super Glide Custom FXDC boasts on chrome-covered parts and proudly exhibits the classic attitude which made it into the riders' hearts back in the 70's. Rich shiny accents on the battery box cover, cooling fins or rocker covers are a nifty complement to the premium paint and sculpted seat, while the beefy staggered exhausts match the shiny steel pulled-back handlebars, forks and massive tank-mounted instrumentation.

The motorcycle’s center piece is a Twin Cam 96 engine with black powder-coated heads and cylinders highlighted by machined cooling fin tips and chrome rocker covers. The engine is mated on a six-speed Cruise Drive Transmission that offers an average fuel consumption of 43 mpg.

New Husqvarna TR 650 Terra TR 650 Strada In Australia

With the new street bikes turning more and more into a successful comeback, Husqvarna announces that two of their all-new TR 650 motorcycles will be available in Australian dealerships in December.

Manufactured in Husqvarna's Northern Italian plant, the Terra model is the dual-sport machine while the Strada is a purely road biased offering. In Australia the Strada will be ABS equipped as standard while the more off-road Terra goes without. Both models are braked by a 300mm single front disc and 240mm rear. The Terra model rolls on spoked rims rather than the cast alloys employed on the Strada.

They're powered by the 652cc single-sylinder engine from the BMW G650GS, although power has been incresed from 47bhp to a claimed 58bhp.There will also be a reduced power version for riders on a restricted licence, which will make 48bhp. The new restriction rules start in 2013.

The TR650 Terra is a bit lighter at 368 pounds and offers the option of an anti-lock brake system, whereas its tarmac-oriented brother features ABS as standard equipment. A 21-inch spoked wheel handles rolling duties up front, while an 18-inch version takes care of the rear. Aggressive rubber, a lower seat and marginally longer wheelbase also help differentiate the Terra from the Strada.

New Indian Sport Scout 45

A uniquely colorful example of Indian’s time-honored war-era workhorse, this two-tone Yellow and White Sport Scout hails from the personal collection of Indian restorer and collector John Rank. The original color scheme is laid over original sheetmetal in traditional fashion for one hundred percent accuracy and correctness.

The Sport Scout helped Indian’s fortunes and quickly earned a reputation for superior performance and agility, enhanced by great racing success. At the 1936 gathering of the Los Angeles 45 Club at Muroc Dry Lake, Fred Ludlow achieved a remarkable 128.57 mph on a Sport Scout, and in 1937 Ed “Iron Man” Kretz won the Daytona 200 on one. Despite being the last in a long line of side-valve Indians stretching back to 1916, it became a mainstay of Class C racing. The side-valve would be surpassed by new technology, but the Sport Scout was never truly eclipsed, for as historian Richard Renstrom once wrote, it was “designed and raced by men who were unconcerned about anything not produced in America the Sport Scout.a monument to an engineering ideal.

Literally, the new sport Scout 45 does have knee action. A new front fork design with coil spring suspension permits the fork complete with wheel, guard and headlight to ride over road obstacles independent of the rest of the machine. The stability of the front wheel within the assembly permits a trim and close fitting front fender which adds much to the stream lining of the whole job.

2012 Aprilia Mana 850 GT Review

A testament to Aprilia’s technological prowess, the Aprilia Mana 850 GT ABS is packed with rider-friendly technology. With the Mana’s Sport Gear transmission you can easily switch between manual and automatic riding modes with the push of a button. The Anti-Lock Braking System, integrated half-fairing and adjustable windshield, make the perfect touring companion or daily commuter.

A completely new motorcycling concept, the result of technological expertise, the courage tobelieve 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 is a complete motorcycle, thenew frontier, the missing link in an evolution that makes the world of motorcycling and its emotionsaccessible to all types of user.

Performance is pretty good, too. The Mana accelerates out of hairpin bends with a satisfying midrange punch, heading for a top speed of about 120 mph. The 839cc V-twin produces a throaty exhaust note that rises and falls rapidly as I thumb through the seven-speed sequential gearbox. Alternatively, I could use the foot shift lever, though it feels pretty odd to operate it without a clutch. Switching to automatic mode means the CVT takes care of everything-all I have to do is point the bike where I want it to go. But on these technical roads it's more fun to take control of the engine.
