Honda CBR in reasonable prices



Middleweight Sportbike

Honda has just announced a new CBR600RR for 2010. The 2010 motorcycle appears to be an evolution of the 2009 and clearly with bold new graphics. The bike includes some braking performance improvements as well. This is part of American Honda Motor Company's Powersports Division announced today and is the third new release of 2010 motorcycle models. This on-road motorcycle release follows the earlier announcements of Honda's 2010 Fury, scooters, dirt bikes and ATVs.

"We are very excited about announcing these four street bikes for 2010," said Powersports Press Manager Bill Savino. "Within this mix we have a new cruiser, a new lightweight touring bike and two CBR sport bikes. The cruiser offers a whole new look for Honda, our new touring bike delivers lightweight, nimble handling, a stylish fairing plus saddlebags for the long haul or daily commute. The CBRs continue to set the standards of performance for the full-on sporting genre. This sets the stage for a great year in 2010 and there will be additional street model announcements later this fall."

Over the years, no other 600cc machine has won more magazine comparisons and AMA championships than Honda's CBR600RR. Traditionally this motorcycle has offered a likable balance of power and handling. The new CBR600RR claims to blend a light and compact chassis with impeccable power delivery for a combination that is set to live-up to past expectations. The motorcycle will also be available with Honda's unique Combined ABS for the pinnacle of middleweight sportbike braking performance.

The 2010 CBR600RR will be available is pearl orange/black and "leyla"; the new special custom graphic. The C-ABS model will be available in red/black only. Dealer availability and MSRP is yet to be determined.

New Honda Titan having great olden look


new Honda Titnan Having look of olden bikes but having a great performance

Honda brings a flex-fuel motorcycle to the market with its CG150 TITAN MIX ES. Honda claims the small-displacement motorcycle’s Mix Fuel Injection System makes the new model the “first motorcycle in the world to be equipped with flexible-fuel technology.”

The flex-fuel moniker will allow the new TITAN to take advantage of bio-ethanol fuels. And in Brazil this is significant, as the South American nation is a world leader in utilizing bio-fuel to supplement gasoline for transportation energy. Honda cites “approximately 90% “ of new cars in Brazil sport flex-fuel technology.

Brazil’s bio-ethanol fuel is made by harvesting sugar cane. Touted by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazil’s ethanol industry has been both praised and criticized. Supporters point to job creation and energy independence from ethanol, meanwhile critics say the use of food sources for fuel leads to rising food costs.

The CG150 TITAN MIX ES will be sold in Brazil by Honda subsidiary Moto Honda da Amazonia Ltda, and the Japanese giant expects 200,000 units sold annually. Honda is a juggernaut in the Brazilian motorcycle market, the Japanese firm accounting for 1.326 million of the 1.91 million new motorcycle registrations in 2008.

The TITAN is expected in Brazilian dealerships by the end of March with an MSRP of 6340 Real ($2,700).

The new Honda CB Twister rocking the city's



The new release by Honda, the Honda CB Twister has shaken the world. Customers and Journos with the critics are already all praises about the two wheeler. Here are our first impressions of the bike in terms of looks, performance, engine, and hell loads.

Looks

The new curvy look that the Honda Twister possesses gives it a real cool commuter bike look. We are thankful that Honda decided to give it a mini-CB 1000R look. It is nowhere the typical design of the Honda Unicorn.

Aesthetics

The styling provided is definitely a head turner and includes good paint quality, well-fitting panels that are sturdy to not start rattling pretty soon. The double-cradle diamond type frame is well-balanced and in combination with optimized suspension and alloy wheels makes it a smooth ride. The front tyre is a 70/100 section, while the rear tyre is a 80/100 section, both being 17 inches in diameter.

Performance

The bike boasts of a 109 cc motor that develops 9bhp@8000 rpm and 09km@6000 rpm that is just enough to move around on this machine at good speed.

Pricing

The price of Rs 51, 150 (ex showroom, Mumbai) for all the electric starter, disc brake and alloy wheel-equipped makes it a value of money.

Honda 250cc bike to be called KYZ

Honda CBX 250

You must have read in our earlier post that Honda is planning to launch a 250cc with a next few months in India. For our readers we have a few bits of more info regarding this bike, not much but we thought to share whatever info we get with our readers.

The first info which we have is that this bike would be called KYZ and the second and most important information is that this bike would be priced around Yamaha’s YZF R15! Well if Honda can price this bike around R15 then this will take the motorcycle by storm. Anything around 1 lakh for a 250cc bike is very competitive and good in all aspects.

If this happens then this bike will surely kick every other bike from the premium segment giving direct competition to the Ninjas, ZMR and Pulsar200 and Yamaha’s R15.

Another good news for the bike enthusiasts in India, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is planning to launch a 250cc motorcycle in India in the next few months.

As per the sources, the R&D work on the bike is complete and the model will come into trial production in the next three months.

The only offering in the 250cc segment currently is Bajaj-Kawasaki Ninja 250R which is far beyond the reach of many of us when it comes to its price. This segment is least exploited in our country and if Honda could price this 250cc bike competitively then this could turn out to be a real delight for the end users as well as the company.

The good news is that the bike is expected to be priced around 1.5 lakh which I think is really competitive for a 250cc bike in India. The bike is expected to be launched around Diwali to make use of the festive season around that time of the year.

The rest of the techincal details for the 250cc bike are not known for now but we will keep our users updated as n when we have it with us.

But this is not all for the bike lovers in our country. If powerful bikes are not your cup of tea then here is what might excite you. Honda is also planning to bring in the upgraded version of their 125cc Shine and 150cc Unicorn before the entry of 250cc bike. This means that the upgraded versions of Shine and Unicorn are expected to arrive much earlier.

Honda also has its 110cc CB Twister ready for the debut which is expected to attract many buyers because of its features.

With bike offerings ranging from 110cc CB twister to a 250cc bike, it looks that Honda is in no mood to let the other bike manufacturers dominate in the country in the year 2010.


Honda to Have Battery Powered Bikes by 2010

Honda to Have Battery Powered Bikes by 2010 vectrix superbike 560x420

There’s been a lot of talk in the auto industry lately about electric cars, and moving to fully electric platforms. Quietly, motorcycle companies have seen the writing on the wall, and have been exploring electric two-wheel applications for new models. KTM has promised to bring an electric bike by this time in 2010, and Quantya has an electric dirt bike, the Strada already available for purchase.

Not to be left out on this one, Honda has announced that it has partnered with Yuasa to bring an electric bike line-up to their model range by the year 2010.

“Honda is currently developing a battery-powered electric motorcycle which emits no CO2 during operation. The company is aiming to introduce this electric motorcycle to the market about in two years from now,” says Takeo Fukui, Chairman and CEO of Honda Motor Co. “History shows that motorcycles remain strong in a difficult market environment and have always supported Honda in difficult times,” he adds.

Yuasa, maker of most motorcycle batteries (check yours), will be responsible for the development of the high-performance lithium-ion batteries necessary for the electric motorcycles. The two companies will jointly set up a research and development center, and a battery manufacturing facility near Kyoto in Japan. This joint venture is being funded to the tune of $18.5 million, with Honda holding a 49% stake in the company, and the rest being held by Yuasa.

450cc Super Singles Will Race at Mid Ohio


The 450cc Super Singles class will be racing at Mid Ohio, September 19-21. The new class is made up of road racing bikes that started life as 450cc MX bikes which are then transformed into lightweight, single cylinder racers.

We've written about this new class before and it looks like it's about to hit the track. This could be interesting.

From the AMA press release:

AMA Sports, the amateur racing arm of the AMA, is proud to welcome Gavin Trippe and his 450cc super singles to the AMA Sports Road Race Grand Championships, set for September 19-21 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. The 450cc super singles showcase an exciting new breed of road-racers that are powered by 450cc four-stroke engines sourced from top-line motocross bikes and streamlined with custom fairings.

Trippe, a driving force behind the new race bikes, will be on hand as part of the event. A member of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame, Trippe is regarded as the founder of the Superbikers event in the 1970s, which pitted racers from numerous motorcycle racing disciplines against each other on tracks that included elements of motocross, road racing and dirt track.

"We are excited to have Gavin Trippe and his amazing super singles race bikes at the AMA Sports Road Race Grand Championships," said Anthony Grilli, National Technical Manager for AMA Sports. "With the core of modern motocross machinery and wrapped in MotoGP-inspired composites, these bikes are a thrill to watch as they battle for track supremacy."

"When I hatched the idea for the super singles, it was at Mid-Ohio in 2006," Trippe said. "I was watching some supermoto bikes going around and I thought to myself, 'Those things are flying!' That's where it all started. Now, to be going back to Mid-Ohio with the next generation of these bikes, at an event such as the Road Race Grand Championships, it's exciting."

Best Fuel Efficient Cars for 2010


Over the last few years, the world has witnessed an emergence of numerous car models. It won't be wrong to say that today the level of competition has been increased and the market has got bombarded with different car models. Every new model being introduced in the auto market contains new features. Perhaps, today every car is acting as a luxury sedan and contains magnificent features that make it difficult for buyers to make a proper selection. However, the fuel efficiency has been one key feature that has always played a vital role in making the proper selection of a good car.

Today there are still many people who are looking for more economical and fuel efficient cars. In fact, if we carefully study the current scenario, the average person merely can't manage to pay for a vehicle that consumes to much fuel. Ultimately, the money spent in purchasing a car is more like an investment, and no body likes to make a wrong decision. That fact remains that along with the environment; there is one key factor that drives people to shop for cars that are not just environment friendly, but fuel efficient that in turn affects the budget as well. It doesn't matter whether you are purchasing a car for your daily commuting or excursions, you should have a car that suits your lifestyle and consumes less fuel. If you are planning to buy a fuel efficient car, here are some of the best models you can look for:

Honda Civic- EPA city/highway mileage: 26/34 (manual), 25/36 (automatic), 40/45 (hybrid)

For years, Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars admired in Australia. Without doubt, today its popularity can be attributed to its steady high level of finish and luxury, but its fuel efficiency element cannot be ignored. In fact, when it comes to squeezing every last inch of motion out of a drop of gasoline, there cannot be any comparison. The current model is the best and the most fuel-efficient. If that isn't enough, there is another model of Honda, a hybrid version of the Civic as well as the super-green Civic GX, which can run on natural gas and requires no gasoline at all.

Ford Focus- EPA city/highway mileage: 24/35 (manual), 24/33 (automatic)

In terms of fuel efficiency and performance there cannot be any comparison to the Ford Focus. Designed by Ford's European division, this car model fuel economy trails a bit compared to Japanese compacts, but it's cheap to buy, and pleasing to drive. It is easy on your pocketbook when it comes to keeping the gas tank filled. A 13.5 gallon fuel tank usually allows you to travel almost 325 miles non-stop.

Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC- EPA city/highway mileage: 23/32

There are very few cars in the world that can match the fuel efficiency of Mercedes-Benz E320 BLUETEC in terms of diesel powered cars. This model is the best answer who always thinks - a diesel car always consumes more fuel. In fact, if you get the chance to test-drive a Mercedes E320 BLUETEC then you must go for it. Its key feature of 3-liter V6 power plant offers an impressive power of a V8 with the fuel economy of a compact sedan.

Toyota Camry Hybrid- EPA city/highway mileage: 33/34

Toyota Camry Hybrid is one of the most affordable cars in the current scenario. In fact, it is one of the best models that feature rock-solid dependability, exceptional comfort along with better fuel economy at an economical price. Adding to this, it is one among those models that can offer an altogether conventional driving experience and features a bigger (2.4 litre) engine and conventional tires that makes it a fuel economical car.

Toyota Corolla- EPA city/highway mileage: 26/35 (manual), 27/35 (automatic) Today it won't be wrong to consider Toyota Corolla as one of the country's best-selling vehicles. It is in fact considered as one of the most remarkable economical cars in present context. It features impressive fuel economy with the volume-selling base 1.8-liter engine, and its ride is more compliant than the typical compact sedan's.

Today it is not that difficult to get the best car for your money that can save you fuel as well. All you need is proper research and to compare the fuel efficiency for the best deals on the car you want. Owning a car actually matters, and so it is better to make a selection considering the fuel efficiency factor.
