2015 Yamaha MT-09X

Image
2015 Yamaha MT-09X  Regular  readers of Cycle World know that we are smitten by the lively 847cc triple in the Yamaha FZ-09 streetfighter. They also know that we thoroughly enjoy the Yamaha Super Tenere ADV bike. Problem is, for many potential customers, the Super T and its 1200cc engine are a bit too big and heavy for some off-road riding situations. Here’s one possible solution, as seen in the photo-illustration above provided by our friends at Young Machine magazine in Japan. We’ll call it the MT-09X, and this motorcycle appears to be just what Yamaha needs—an ADV machine that can gobble up lots of miles on the highway while being lighter and easier to handle in the dirt. And while this illustration shows the bike outfitted with tarmac wheels and tires in a more Ducati Multistrada vein, who’s to say that Yamaha won’t step up and fit the MT-09 Tenere with DOT knobbies on a proper 18/21 setup? A lot of customers could be covered by a pair of models like this. ...

yamaha r1

We jump on, turn the key and the instruments spring to life. A rapid push of the starter button and also the motor fires by having an odd resonance - somewhere between an over-cammed small-block and a fighter jet. It's a lumpy-sounding idle though the engine spins smoothly under our chest. The kickstand's still down, therefore the fellow from Yamaha who is trusting us together with his bike gets inside a quick warning. "Spend playtime with it; just do not kill yourself, Fine?" he says. He has justified reason to be worried. We're planning to ride away on the 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1, the business's top-of-the-line sport bike. It includes a 998cc, inline four-cylinder engine that puts out 180 horsepower. Not much of a massively outstanding number in a car world perhaps, however consider that the engine only has to move 454 pounds of bike. That is only 2.5 pounds per hp. The Bugatti Veyron is stuck with 4.2 kilos for each hp. Even more shocking is how a R1's ...

Yamaha (YZF) 74 - The New R6

Image
The R6 is known to be as Yamaha's top street bike. It is Yamaha's monster that competes with Honda's CBR series, Suzuki GSX, and Kawasaki ZX. There are a lot of interesting features that the R6 possesses that would surely bewilder anyone who rides it in a positive way. Squeezing the throttle would let you ask yourself if you will just stop to save your dear life or take the beast into its limit to experience that one of a kind thrill and riding adventure. The Yamaha motorcycle manual for the R6 provides that a fuel injection 600cc engine is mounted on the bike which could provide monstrous torque at 17,500 rpm redline. Such redline is 2000rpm higher than the previous model. It's Yamaha motorcycle repair manual even stated that the R6 has the highest tachometer redline of any four stroke motorcycle engine manufactured in 2006. It is also very comfortable to ride and won't strain you in your long driving because the foot peg is 5mm forward that allows for grea...

The new version of Yamaha R1

Image
The new version of Yamaha R1 While we are still waiting for our Yamaha to reveal new small sport bike to us reached an interesting information related to the brand of Hamamatsu. The Japanese have recently protected names “R1S” and “R1M” which will supposedly be used to its new superbike. What is first comes to my mind is how Yamaha will offer several varieties of speeders YZF-R1 ">Earlier this month, the public have become available patent documents earlier this year around the world to protect Yamaha. They reveal how the Japanese are planning several variants of Yamaha YZF-R1. At this point The terms “R1S” and “R1M” who protected the paperwork. According to what seems logical to us it is about two versions Yamaha speeders with different performance and components.

BMW HP4 VS. DUCATI 1199 VS

Image
Oh, the lifestyle of the financially affluent motorhead, the one-percenter with a passion for the finest in all things performance-related. While it’s a trend to demonize the wealthy, I say smoke ’em if you’ve got ’em, especially if that involves, say, dusting off the Bugatti with some fliers around the new Circuit of The Americas. While most of us will never have an experience even remotely approaching that, we motorcyclists are a lucky bunch because bike manufacturers deliver amazing performance to the people. The BMW HP4 and Ducati 1199 Panigale R, the two hottest production sportbikes, are prime examples of this, so off we went to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for a midweek day of testing. I felt like a lotto winner unloading the exclusive yet relatively reasonably priced HP4 out of CW’s high-mileage Chevy van. Then the scene ramped up an entire tax bracket when the guys from Ducati North America dropped off the much pricier and more exclusive Panigale R. With this wealth of exoti...

YAMAHA INTRODUCES NEW 2015 MODELS

YAMAHA INTRODUCES NEW 2015 MODELS The 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 might well be a stunter’s dream. Not that I’m a stunter of course; I barely even know how to wheelie. But I’m pretty sure this bike wants to teach me. With a tiny 1,400 mm wheelbase and a compact centre of gravity the FZ-07 thinks little of hiking the front wheel off the deck – the rear wheel, too if you squeeze those wave-rotor brakes in just the right way. Bikes like this, labelled “roadsters” by manufacturers and “naked sportbikes” by people like me, have been around for a while now. Simplistically, they’re a response to the modern streetfighter movement – a customization craze that saw riders transform race-replica sportbikes into aggressive, naked brutes. Often the factory headlights would be removed with the front fairings and replaced with a low-mounted light and shroud bolted to just in front of the forks. They’d also get higher flat bars in place of the clip-ons. Whether the conversion was triggered by fashion...
