Italian bikes

admin — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:10:35 +0000

Italian bikes seem similar, as if they were all made with similar molds. In fact the MV looks like it is hand made4 with lot of care, much in the same vein such as the Aprilia or the Ducati. These were the words of Randy Mamola moments before immortalizing the MV photographically. Each and every section of the 2005 MV feels special. From design to the care taken in the detail and excellent components, everything feels special.
On the track, the MV Agusta left no doubt that it is more than just a pretty face. Many of the riders in fact, six of them, did their best times on her, more than with the ZX-10.
Her forward inclined riding position complements the rider. Add to that the hard seat and you are able to feel every nuance of the suspensions reacting to the track surface, making her one of the best track-day tools.
On the other hand the rigidness of chassis and front fork invite you to attack each corner, with each lap getting more intense and faster and the lap times go down.
She is also equipped with a very aggressive engine that invites you to extract the maximum out of it. You have to be careful while exiting corners to avoid unnecessary scares since it transmits power to the back wheel with such fluidity and speed that it becomes quite simple to powerslide her out of the corner.
At high revolutions it transmits some vibrations to the handlebars. However it is tolerable. Also its brakes are good, especially due to the anti-locking system, which retards speed without the bike feeling jittery. You can feel the engine raring to go, increasing stress on the front forks. But this is not a problem; you just have to get used to it.

Kawasaki ZX-10R is truly deserving of the master Bike title.

Kawasaki ZX-10R was clearly the favorite at Montmelo, in Cheste it simply was not the same with the entry of the new GSX-R1000 and the excellent dynamics of the rest of its adversaries. But in fact the ZX-10R was the fastest amongst the super bikes with four riders doing their fastest lap with her.
The clue to its success lies in the excellent combination of the power from its four-cylinder engine and its light weight, coupled to an agile package that feel more like super sport then superbike.
THE zx-10R is the most powerful bike in this test and probably the only one that also delivers power in the most satisfactory manner.Having said that, it is not a brute like the engine Suzuki GSX-R1000, NOR SHARP AS THE Yamaha R1, her abilities lying midway between the two. If has a small advantage that manifests itself practically while accelerating from the outside of the corners at half the speed required at the Valencia circuit. With her you can accelerate to the maximum, a little before stretching up to 14,000rpm on the rev meter.
If is also the lightest bike in the category which of course enhances its dynamics, making it very easy to throw it around the track. Add to that her rock soild stability and precise directional control. These aspects compensate for its faults and make for one of the best biking experiences in 2005. No wonder then that the ZX-10R is truly deserving of the master Bike title.

Engine specification of LP560

Power is also relevant and the new engine develops 560PS, up by 40PS, while torque is up to 540Nm. The engine is ten kilos heavier though the new gearbox and a revised 4WD system shaves weight which makes the LP560 20kg lighter than the stripped out Superleggera and thus boasting a similar power to weight 397PS/ton. This is also the highest revving direct injection petrol engine in the world, the rev limiter cutting in at 8000rpm and at those revs the engine note really does shatter your eardrums, a proper supercar howl. This is Italy and they love supercars everywhere. And the LP560 is nothing if not noisy. A bit hard too.Hard not as in the Lambos of yore which needed body strength to shift gears and work the steering, immense leg muscles for the clutch and an ape like long armed short legged body structure to fit in. The Gallardo is civilised.

Roadjets Future

Audi seems set on chasing Mercedes with more and more niche models and has followed up the Lamborghini V10 engined S8 with the S6, a similarly equipped hot rod based on the steel bodied A6 saloon. The 5.2 litre engine has slightly less power in the smaller car 420bhp compared with 450. Roadjet would seem an appropriate name for one of these super high performance saloons but has actually been applied to a smaller, taller and less powerful concept car, which sits between the A4 and A6. This is part hatchback and part estate wagon as well as 3.2 litre V6 engine developing 300 bhp and a seven speed DSG gearbox, has such indispensable features as a built in expresso coffee machine. Audi may produce something like this but is tight lipped about whether it will be designated A5 or be known as the A4 Liftback or some such. Audi and Lamborghini will be in the race.
