Italian bikes

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.

Novus Engine details

Tata Motors have gone in for the 6-cylinder, 8.3 litre turbocharged intercooled C-series Cummins engine that produces an outstanding 300PS of power and an equally astonishing 1127Nm of torque developed at barely 1400 rpm for the Novus. This is by far the most powerful and torquey engine Tata has employed in its production truck. With such a powerful engine, the Novus would not only be able to tackle such a climb with relative ease, it will also be able to travel faster on regular tarmac sections.The engine is coupled to a 10 forward, 2 reverse synchromesh gearbox, which offers a choice of high or low ratios at a flick of a button located on the gear lever. The drive train however is good enough to propel the truck to a top speed of 90 plus kilometres an hour. The truck uses dual circuit full S-cam type of air brakes with auto adjusters and drum all round.

Tata Novus beginning

Tata Motors seems to be on a mission. And it’s not an increasing market share or launching interesting kind of mission. Having introduced cheaper variants of the Indica, not to mention opening new segments with the TL4×4 and Ace, and of course the fully built range of buses, the company has been managing the aforementioned very well indeed. Next up was the Ace, the one of its kind four wheeled goods carrier that addresses the bottom rung in the transportation pyramid. And that it is one hell of a success story is no secret, especially with Tata motors. Tata’s plans for the New year seem no different, as they continue to bombard the market with new products as well as variants based on the existing line up. Novus is a 300 horsepower, 25 ton GVW truck.Novus is a truck developed by Tata Daewoo commercial vehicle unit Korea.It was also one of the first trucks to meet the mandated Euro III emission norms in that in both the Euro II and Euro III variants.
