2010 Triumph Street Triple R

Triumph’s Street Triple R. The most fun you can have on two wheels. One of the
purest motorcycles on the planet. Voted bike of the year in the UK’s Bike
magazine and many others. It is a phenomenon.
Taking the standard Street Triple as its base, Triumph added supersport
specification suspension and brakes, mixed in some premium colour schemes and
charged their outstanding development engineers with honing the package to
perfection. The result? A motorcycle that has won universal acclaim since its
introduction in 2008 and which it guaranteed to leave the rider grinning from ear
to ear. The Street Triple R.
The Street Triple R’s lightweight frame has been lifted directly from the award-winning
Daytona 675 sports bike and comes packed with race track technology.
Fully-adjustable 41mm upside down forks and a top-spec rear monoshock unit
with piggy back reservoir deliver sublime handling, while radially-mounted four
piston calipers grab the twin 308mm brake discs and ensure the Street Triple R
stops as well as it goes.
At the heart of the Street Triple R is the same acclaimed, 675cc triple cylinder
engine that powers the Street Triple, so there’s masses of grunt on tap from low
revs through to the redline. Peak power is a healthy 106PS at 11,700rpm, while
peak torque of 68Nm is delivered at 9,100rpm.
The Street Triple R rivals traditional supersport machines with its superlative
handling and stunning stopping power, while offering the comfort and attitude of
a streetfighter. The sporty feel is completed with wide, tapered, handlebars from
Magura and a 5mm taller seat height than the standard model puts the Street
Triple R rider in the perfect position to attack the twisty stuff or cut its way
through the urban jungle.
The Street Triple R also benefits from the same updates for 2010 as the Street
Triple: lighter rear wheel and rear sprocket, revised EFI calibration for smoother
throttle response at low speeds and new instruments for easier operation.
Completing the Street Triple R’s distinctive look are three distinctive colour
options – Matt Graphite, Matt Orange and gloss Phantom Black with gold wheels.
All colour options come with anodised black upside down front forks and a two-tone
stitched seat, while the ‘R’ can be made to stand out even further through a
comprehensive range of official Triumph accessories.

Brutale Gets More Brutal

MV Agusta has revealed the latest iterations of its Brutale naked sportbikes. Although looking much like the previous 989R and 1078RR, these new editions have been fully revamped, with new four-cylinder engines and significant chassis tweaks.

Both versions use a lighter engine crankcase than before, and the Brutale 990R has a 998cc motor, up from the 982cc 989RR via a stroke increase and a bore reduction. The larger and more expensive flagship Brutale, the 1090RR, retains the old 1078RR's 1098cc displacement. Both models include a traction-control system, and the RR adds features like a slipper clutch, larger brake rotors and forged aluminum wheels.

MV has given the new versions a longer wheelbase with a longer swingarm and more relaxed steering geometry. New headlight, mirrors with integrated LED turnsignals and a new instrument package give fresh styling features. The power band in the 1090 version is promised to be more pleasing both on the road and on the track and not only because of the extra horsepower. The 1090 RR has got better brakes than the 990R and a lot more feel, but despite all this the Brutales are still among of the more potent naked streetfighters out there.

Though the bike wheelies easily on the road if desired, the Brutale 1090RR does not wheelie at will out of corners or when hard on the throttle from low speed. Ride quality is actually very composed, surefooted and a steering damper keeps the front in check most of the time too.

The Brutale 1090RR is truly MV Agusta's flagship to their storied history. Started-off as an Italian Agusta aviation concern, its bikes spawned a rich tradition of GP-winning bikes in he '60s and '70s. Their motorcycle production ceased in 1980, but Italian holding company Cagiva restarted the failing motorcycles business in 1991 with modest success.

Heavily indebted, the manufacturer was bought by Malaysian car maker Proton in December 2004. In December 2005 however, Proton decided to cut its ties with MV Agusta and sold it to GEVI SpA, a Genoa-based financing company related to Carige, for a token 1 euro excluding debt. In 2006 that financing company, GEVI SpA, with 65% of the share capital, had refinanced MV Agusta, and by doing so allowed the company to continue, and brought MV Agusta ownership back to Italy.

On July 11, 2008, Harley-Davidson announced they had signed a definitive agreement to acquire the MV Agusta Group for US$109 million. The purchase raised hopes for a new direction for the company. The acquisition was completed on Aug 8, 2008.

On Oct 15, 209, despite a string of well-received bikes, the Motor Company put the Italian firm for sale the same day it unscrewed the drain plug under Buell.

Fortunately, the backlash of the looming management change does not seem to have affected things yet. MV Agusta announced that for the first three months of 2010 bike sales went up 50%.

2010 New Kawasaki Z1000

This new 2010 naked bike introduce in amazing and powerful specs to riders. with bold and refreshing, the stunning all new Z1000 is based on an entirely “clean sheet” design process will transform to a successful motorcycle. Huge visual impact and minute attention to detail combine in Kawasaki’s greatest ever Streetfighter style machine. no argue?

The Z1000 clearly surpasses the dynamic performance of its predecessors, thanks to a new quick-revving 1,043cc inline-four cylinder engine, and an all-new quick-steering aluminium chassis connected to an all-new horizontal rear suspension design. A comfortable upright riding position means the Z1000 remains a practical transportation tool, even as the dramatic howl from its new cold-air intake raises hairs on the back of its rider’s neck.

2010 z1000 Key Features:
• All-New Aluminum Chassis
• All-New 1043cc Engine
• All-New Horizontal Rear Suspension
• Sharp “Predatory” Styling
• Light & Quick Handling
• Lower Seat Height than Previous Z1000 Models

New five-spoke wheels, with spokes machined near the rims for a custom-wheel look, a solid-mount handlebar and aluminum footpegs lifted from the Ninja ZX-10R are some of the additional detail changes on the 2010 Z1000.

Lastly, Kawasaki explains the Z’s shock, with adjustable spring preload and rebound damping, is now positioned horizontally, and the seat height is apparently lower than previous models of the Z.

A “quick-steering” chassis is constructed out of aluminum, with an “all-new horizontal rear suspension design.” Kawasaki is keeping the other chassis details mum, for now, except that the seat height is promised to be lower than “previous Z1000 models,” the last Z1000 (2008 model) having a 32.3 inch-high seat.

Making assumptions based off the lone photo of the new Z, five-spoke cast wheels replace the 3-spoke units adorning the predecessor. Also changed, Nissin calipers up front are swapped out to Tokico pinchers, which grab hold of Kawasaki’s typical wave rotors. As for the Z1000’s distinctive four-muffler exhaust system (the 2007-2008 model looked like four mufflers, but was actually dual mufflers with faux caps stuck on the end), we assume it returns, though only a right-side dual canister is visible (the left side being concealed).
