Ride Safely in a Group of Superbikes

By | March 14, 2010 | Upcomings |

Riding with a group of superbikes/motorcyclists is one of the great thrills of the two-wheeled lifestyle, but it can also hold hidden dangers. If you decide to join a group of motorcyclists, you’ll want to keep the following points in mind as you amble down the road:

Ride Safely in a Group of Superbikes

Ride in a Staggered Formation When Possible
When road width permits, ride on alternating sides of the lane. Doing so will enhance the visibility ahead, and help create a safe space around each bike. Single file riding might be necessary on tight roads, but try to maintain as much space around each bike as possible.

Look Ahead
Don’t target fixate on the bike ahead of you; if that rider happens to go off the road or hit an >> Read More

2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 Launching In India

By | November 20, 2009 | Events, Reviews, Upcomings |

Suzuki Motorcycle India is planning to enter the new segment of bikes, with entry level motorcycles and is also panning to introduce the new Suzuki GSX-R 1000cc super bike well-known as Gixxer.

Suzuki is on the venture of importing its 1000cc GSX-R and other two models Hayabusa and Intruder (@Rs12.5 lakh) which have found the sale tune of 150 units in the last 10 months.

Whether or not this smacks of some rightly deserved aloofness will be up to you: Essentially, Suzuki perceived the task of crafting its new liter-class missile as a challenge in delivering a bike with the performance to exceed “… its biggest rival – the current GSX-R.”

Kawasaki has stamped its foot; Team Green is sick of playing catch-up in World Superbikes, it will no longer be content to languish at the back of the field. But defeating the monstrous Aprilia RSV4 and the ominous BMW S1000RR is going to require a motorcycle leagues ahead of what Kawasaki has been rolling out in 2010.

Behold, motorcycle fans, the new king of the castle. Ripping out a terrifying 210 horsepower and weighing just 198kg full of fuel and fluids, the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R leap-frogs to the front of the power and power-to-weight charts.

But it’s not just muscles that make this bike so special, it sports a completely redesigned chassis aimed at improving handling and racetrack lap times – and a traction control/ABS setup that ditches all notions that such systems are for safety. On the new Ninja, the intelligent electronics are all focused on making you faster than ever before on the road or track. Wouldn’t it be an amazing turnaround if this machine could catapult Kawasaki back into World Superbike contention? Either way, this is one of the most exciting bikes we’ve seen in lime green for a lot of years, and it’s a signal to the other Japanese manufacturers that near enough is no longer good enough.

There’s no overstating the size of the rocket that BMW fired up the backsides of the Japanese motorcycle >> Read More
