Used Motorcycle

2011 BMW C Evolution being one wave of Urban Mobility. In November 2011 BMW Motorrad introducing two big scooter; C 600 Sport and C650 GT. BMW developed E-Scooter concept at the BMW Innovation Day 2011. Development of the second phase of the electric scooter displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011 with the name of the BMW Concept e. 

The third development is nothing but electric scooter BMW C Evolution. BMW C Evolution adopt a hybrid chassis - doesnt have a main frame. This BMW C Evolution chassis certainly swiftly because the center of gravity low. The maximum speed BMW C Evolution is 120 mph. The 2011 BMW C Evolution dashboard is equipped TFT screen.

 

Dorsoduro 1200 is everything you ever wanted to about 750, which was not there. Motor 1200 has received all the wealth I always try for the V-Twin. And order, the bike is now 100% pure fun. Dorsoduro 1200 is better in all areas of 750, and traction control to prevent serious palpitations corners out of a throttle opening of the large high-lean. Although a large capacity seems to be much smaller than the BMW HP2, for example. Compared to the true supermoto, its big and heavy, but surely you knew already, so no point on appeal. Due to the fact that it has cooled, and a security feature reliable, robust, and useful, I am inclined to say that, Dorsoduro 1200 could be a commuter city, the best choices in 2011.

Coupled with strong teams of 1198, the SP added all the bits of the former S-1198 (Ohlins suspension and Marchesini forged wheels), plus a clutch, quick shifter Ducati, Ohlins TTX (T36PR before) and a tank aluminum fuel. It costs $ 21 795, only $ 200 more than the old version S

What is the Italian sport bikes, a word rarely collides with the value. But the basic model of the Ducati 1198, MY2011 version has an added value to the proposal.

For the same price paid $ 16 495 in 2010, the base of 1198 now comes with traction control, Ducati, Ducati Ducati Data Analyzer Shifter fast as standard equipment.

The former S 1198 replaced this year, the new SP review here. R $ 39.995 in 1198 Races removed from the collection in 2011. Who does not want to hang with a 1198 R Superbike homologation special, because the production numbers were minuscule, according to Ducati.

Also in the range is the new Ducati 848 Evo, as we try recently famous Imola circuit in Italy. The 848 has raised more power and better brakes

Italian dream date

So we had a historic Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola, new pair of sessions on board the 848 EVO. Much more power than the 600cc Supersport and excellent body similar to that of the SP 1198, 848 towing a substantial buffer around the race course.

Although the drive shaft 140 horsepower is more than enough, the SP 1198 will add 30 horsepower party - the SP to maintain the development of the engine in 2010, so that the SP is equipped with two rear wheels 147 hp of 1198 has seen the S we tested last year.

However, the mountain of the couple that caught our attention, while taking positions in Imola, because the front wheel is rotated regularly from the terrace with about 87 foot-pounds of torque to the rear wheel deaf. The 1198 is an extra 350cc of grunt in the 848 can not be ignored, which catapulted violently every turn and make the 848 seem weak in comparison.

And when you accelerate, you will appreciate the new Ducati quick. It uses a micro-switch gear, which provides a brief interruption of the spark / fuel at full throttle upshifts without strumming the dip switches. This is not only convenient for the driver, but also reduces the transfer time of just 80 ms, 230ms, 65% reduction in the duration.

DQS worked perfectly on my toes, even if a runner at the event said it is not as good as a dynojet quick shifter unit. The quality of the passages Ducati gearboxes are one of the least common than large estates of his motorcycle, which facilitates DQS skillfully. The base 1198 may also receive this upgrade.

Also making a debut in the SP is a welcome back-torque limiting slipper clutch from the previous version of R. Beat Imola chicane many typing downshift slipper discovers that much work. This is a huge benefit when riding a double major in this way, the race course, as the two great pitchers sometimes overwhelming amount of compression braking, which can cause the rear wheel hop during downshifts. None of this drama SP.

Another Update SP-specific is the addition of an aluminum tank - a rarity among the motorcycles - the 1198 R. It is not only trim more than 2.5 lb, it also has greater capacity - up to 4 from a small, 1 gallon to 4.75 gallons usable. When a supposedly dry weight of only £ 370, undercutting the basis of SP 1198 with 7 kg and is 2 pounds lighter than the previous 1198 S.

SP Dynamic Management is assisted by its lightness, forged aluminum wheels, something not available in base or 1198 848 forged wheels weigh less than a typical cast aluminum wheels, and speed control of AIDS and compliance with the suspension - as well as important improvements racing wheel.

In the brake system is the 1198 piece Brembo calipers, 330mm discs, but even and fall of the Duke so strong that any two-wheeled device, especially for high speeds generated at a racetrack. Nothing less than stellar.

Conclusion

The 20-minute session, I was on board the MS 1198 has been a wonderful tease. The standard 1198 is light enough to satisfy most anyones passion for Italian sports bikes, and SP just makes the experience more special.

There is so much power on tap, front and satisfactory constantly pawing the air, accelerating up to third gear, and slipper clutch immensely facilitate high rpm downshifts. For all the time, is blessed with Ducati Stout typically track race chassis and brakes great.

SP in 1198 is a machine both brutal and gentle, able to generate laughter is like nothing else out there. And for those who can afford unique experiences, the CWS did not disappoint.

Dorsoduro 1200 is cooled as his younger brother 750 Therefore, there is a large cooler messing with supermoto riding style a bit like the boots do not get as far forward as the right front wheel supermoto.

The new lattice steel frame could be the same as the 750, but is stronger and stiffer and a bit heavier. Aprilia partly offset by the lighter rear subframe, but there is no reason to believe that the improvement will not benefit from the 750 in the future. The Dorsoduro 1200 tackles corners with agility and sense of supermotard where you can place the front wheel exactly where you want.

 

The Dorsoduro 1200 is a heavy (457 pounds of dry weight) compared to something like the Ducati Hypermotard, but with 30 more horsepower to compensate. The chassis is ultra stable for this type of bike. Nail the gas out of corners in the first and the second is just the delicacy with traction control and the driving mode selected correctly.

 

Driving a supermoto about to slip in and out of the corners requires certain superhuman abilities, such as the SXV. The Dorsoduro 1200, however, allows the public road on horseback to meet some of these skills in a safe manner. With this great 1197cc engine and a rigid chassis, I felt something like a heavy bike. The back 1200 just feels agile and ready at all entrances.

The suspension fork 43mm Sachs has a $ 160 mm with full scan. Sachs shock rear overhang of 155 mm can travel. The long journey that can break on the depth contours, and do not have enough grip, a slide is controllable. At the rear is the same story, and the suspension was prepared for almost any kind of abuse imaginable. Riding in a straight line or even the suspension of the cruise is not too difficult and absorbs bumps almost as well as a full on supermoto.

 

The steering angle, despite the large radiator in the front, is free and allows you to quickly change more quickly than a city scooter. One of the best things about road and supermoto bikes is the freedom of the front wheel to be placed exactly where you want it to be. The rest of the body is to follow the fashion of deciding whether or not the side. The Dorsoduro takes you to freedom, while bikes like the Shiver does.

Configuration with 320 mm double disc with radial Brembo brakes provide plenty of braking maneuvers, and a single 240 mm rear disc brake caliper piston Brembo takes care to be the corners well. The majority of the market, Dorsoduro 1200 is equipped with ABS as standard. I can not cope with Shiver ABS, but not in Dorsoduro. ABS works very well as a safety measure on a rainy day, but no other adverse weather conditions, I guess far away, and fortunately, you Aprilia. ABS always starts up automatically when the ignition completely off and then on.

 

The 1197cc liquid-cooled 90 degree V-engine was the full, rich V-twin to feel what is missing in the 750. The medium is rich in a pair of twins and goodness, and accelerates very rewarding to the end of 4000 rpm and a maximum output of 130 hp at 8700 rpm. Running with low load, there is a fine of 5000 pushed towers. The maximum torque of 84.8 Nm at 7,200 rpm provide plenty of momentum still on a diet much lower, reflecting a flat curve and beautiful.

Aprilia has two aspects: the open racing on the heart, represented by the SXV / RXV and RSV4 and bona fide road bikes represented by the Dorsoduro and Shiver. The difference is that racing engines are 100% engineering Aprilia, Piaggio engines while 750/1200 (which includes course Aprilia)-engineering. This is good news if you are worried about the reliability high mileage as little service provider agreements as possible.

New 1200C 130-horsepower engine is not stressed at all, and there are good reasons to expect a car touring, with this engine in the near future. Dorsoduro 1200, and accelerates to over 125 mph as easy as anything. On motorways, there is, of course, a lot of air resistance upright riding position, but the seat is a long (and much comfier a real supermoto), and I was able to move forward and tuck in My off-road helmet almost low enough to take advantage of a small plate racing-style wind protection for the engine. Mirrors provide a pretty decent look at the back without too much vibration. There is weaving from side to side at high speed, as is typical for single-cylinder 650cc motorcycle.

 

Back on the winding mountain roads, where Dorsoduro 1200 really shines. In most markets, traction control is supplied as standard with ABS. TC system is basically the same as the ultra RSV4 superbike factory in April, but with lots of features and functionality removed. The traction control is also lower spec everything you need on a bike that Dorsoduro, which is adjustable in three levels plus off. I found it gave me a lot of extra confidence just run fast with traction control on the development whichever is the least restrictive setting. Move up to two and three and more torque is removed from the calculation of the lower speed is based on pre-programmed cards. Level three, with the ABS and the method of rain horse should allow you to press the accelerator on snow and ice, but it would not be fun.

The point of all these aids pilot is that you can, if desired, to tame the beast entirely. The best part might be that if a less experienced driver you want to measure and monitor their own progress through the world of high performance motorcycle that can do a bike. Experienced riders like me will have to endure the discomfort can not change anything while driving. Only three levels of driving Sport, Touring and Rain can be adjusted while driving, and not fast fashion as the gas must be turned off and there is the odd three or more seconds to wait for what is much less traveling alone on the road.

 

If you like to draw some horses, which incidentally is a major selling point of Dorsoduro 130 hp 1200, then the traction control off because it needs a bit of calculations of the front wheel simply disappear when the wheel is in the air. This makes the system think you should turn off the power, what it does. A short wheel is possible, but not along the second speed, you really want.

Conclusion

The Dorsoduro 1200 is all I wanted the 750 was not there. The 1200 engine has achieved everything you ever seek wealth in V-Twin. It is ordered, the bike is now 100% pure pleasure. The Dorsoduro 1200 is better in all areas 750 and the traction control prevents severe palpitations corners with high throttle openings large thin. Despite the large capacity it feels much smaller than the example of BMW HP2. Compared with good supermotard, which is large and heavy, but you probably already knew that if this is not a point of the complaint. Due to the fact that it is liquid cooled and reliable, well built and good safety features, I am inclined to say that the Dorsoduro 1200 could be one of the best options in the neighborhood in 2011.

 

2011 Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200

While the 1000 Ninja is a new model this year, as a brother co-developed with the Z1000, it feels more than a little familiar.

According to the Kawasaki Ninja was conceived and born on the side of the revised Z, which was released last year.

The decision to change their model years was partly in response to a perceived demand for most of the supposedly "naked" Zed, particularly in Europe. Furthermore, because the kinds of details involved in bringing a new bike market is a shortage of resources, said the Kawasaki Ninja 2011ve found.

Speaking of the Ninja 1000 as a variation on the same topic in bicycle almost be summarized in one sentence and say that if you are familiar with the Z1000, and we can imagine the extra protection against wind and a little more than plastic and practically know the Ninja.

But to be honest, this is not true at all. Ninja-triple-alloy handlebar mounts is different from the Z1000 tubular bars. There are about 45 mm taller, 10 mm narrower and the grip angle is a bit different. Runways, even put a little in a relaxed position, and the driver of the passenger seat components Ninja and take advantage of more than 10 mm urethane padding. Cush This facility should add to the long legs of the potential comfort that comes with its capacity of 1.1 liters of fuel greatest.

And then theres the aesthetic impression, including a slightly softer sound contribution due to deletion "in December-scream" inducing resonator comes Z1000 avenues of admission and functional full coverage fairing with a windshield adjustable in three ways. The combined effect gives the impression of his own bike, which is somewhat surprising in view of the document - we have recently documented - the bikes are so similar.

"Ninja ... 1000 is a reply to design a workout that you Runaway repli-racer ..."

Kawasaki Ninja says that the 1000 is Runaway planning exercise response that is replicable pilots - which, although popular, is still less than a decade of practice-oriented track machines.

The Ninja 1000 (and Z1000) is a deliberate departure to take things back to the street riding with a kind of liberal infusion trickle-down technology to keep the fun quotient is high if not high enough on the street .

What is a name?

Packing 1043cc, the new Ninja 1000 to use the coveted nickname was invented in 1986, could legitimately be called a "1050."

Kawasaki admits an internal debate took place on whether to call a 10-something-else (not necessarily a "1050"), but those who like neat and clean "1000" name has won this argument.


And to be sure, the 1000 Ninja Street Cred established brand, and perhaps this was a magnetic attraction of the inner compass at least some sensitivity "marketing people" Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and thus dictate terms.

Daily bestial Street Blaster

Kawasaki says the demographic of bikes for 503 pounds, probably includes you. Unlike the 421-pound ZX-6R, which sells the hottest of the 20-odd years that have zero to little experience, and 437 lb-ZX-10R more bought by a similar demographic trend also in the elderly; more experienced riders, Kawasaki is billing the 1000 as a sports bike Ninja, each person for each type of behavior.

It is also expected to attract potential buyers ZX-14 refers to 567 pounds the bike is too big or powerful, and even some mature drivers that could have decided on a cruise, they are no longer able to be comfortable in a corridor easy.

With a capacity of 5 gallons of fuel, optional hard saddlebags and top box, heated grips and (prices not yet set), the Ninja would be a Sport Tourer 1000 is also fine.

If desired, the bags hard to make a fair match-up to previously beaten Triumph Sprint GT - but with a little more powerful. Nu would be perfect for hiking sports on Sunday, and the rest of the week will be a grocery getter valid or transportation to school, work, or what you have - stuff ordinary street.

Speed ​​of the tool, the bike can be used to take days if you wanted. But six feet high, and with about a 34-inch inseam, I would have liked a little more for space in the cockpit Department rider like ZX-10R is to allow more people to move in aggressive cornering and braking. And if it was ours, we would replace the size of the rear wheel with a 190/55 as the stock ZX-10R comes with aggressive cornering, but otherwise no real complaints.

Care and Feeding for your internal Hooligan

Having spent hundreds of miles on Z1000, I was immediately comfortable with the Ninja 1000, and really think the bike is fun too. He seduced me take his desire to let off steam to a degree almost unhealthy and self-control is necessary to slow things in.

After a day of knocking around some of the most pristine areas of Northern California turns riding in the sea to the mountains and back, I interviewed a number of motojournalists experts and asked them if they thought this bike was a "hooligan", the appeal.

Maybe Im tired, and perhaps there is still a better choice, because some people were saying maybe not so - but I step in there and make their voice heard and unequivocally say that operationally, this bike has all the charm of the pilot almost adventurous can ask.

44cc possession of more than the ZX-10R, and packing 65% more torque for a ZX-6R, which happens to hit at a reasonable price 7800 rpm, it pulls like a Lear Jet takeoff. This is a bike that does everything right on the rider replica on the street, but with a more sensible ergonomics.

With not too high as the preparation of the motorcycles come with ZX-oriented track and high center of gravity due to the driving position is also a wheeled machine in first, second and third almost.

That was all I could do to contain myself with this beast, and I was quickly test the gravity and luck in the gears of the first year, pull your knees, and generally try to break in a day.

I do not have to blow, but he did stretch the chain just use the revised mid-way, and for the whole trip was tickled by this bike is supposed to be a step toward health mental, in fact the opposite AIDS and Abet.

The rigid aluminum frame, wide tires and sticky, and the suspension sophisticated enough to encourage a rider who turns ever deeper. Relaxation and horizontal adjustable preload shock and link-41mm upside down fork - adjustable for compression, preload and rebound - are adequate. When the bicycle as Mad Max gets a little out of control on a rough road indeed, but it would have been composed later, and if not, lets say it works competently.

The rotors radially mounted 300mm Tokico front brake calipers tightened by 4-piston Nissin radial master cylinder actuated by the combined correspondence with single-piston caliper squeezing a rear 250mm rear rotor is more than enough.

In fact, the bike was supplied with brakes that half of the beds, but the abuse of some quickly took all the halfway house in the pipe and the brake will soon be strong enough to support the motorcycle on its nose and speed lock the rear wheel at will.


The instrument came from the Ninja ZX-6R, but with different sources and functionality. It provides the usual data required, including a clock and fuel gauge bar graph that does not fall too fast, even in sporty driving. The elbow of the position of the handlebars and footpegs Footpegs not-as-natural feel and leaves no desire to get up and stretch after traveling 150 miles drive.

The windshield three position is clear enough to see through without distortion, and a handful shall immediately adjusted without tools from almost vertical raceresque without tools. The bike seems a little awkward with the screen vertically, but the position gives the most wind protection, and it does not grow on you after a while.

Overall, we believe that the bike is decorated very aggressive and a delight to the eyes, but of course well leave you to decide what you think. Functional openings in the fairing is designed to increase air away from the rider, and to cool the engine and it is not just an exercise in style.

Conclusion


Ninja $ 10.999 1000 should be a little in December.

In short, the work of the bike. For many runners who are not interested in track days or racing, it makes more sense than a racer with lights.

As it is, in practice it is a racing game, though. It just a little less concentrated than the ZX-10R 66 additional pounds of weight, but the improvement in bottom end power and friendly ergos.

Everything that we said that we are on the Z1000, this bike, and will be more protected from wind, fuel capacity and versatility of $ 400 more. This does not mean, how?
