powerful touring and sports bike Honda VFR1200F

The VFR1200F is a sport touring motorcycle from Honda, which has a 1,237 cc (75.5 cu in) V4 engine. It has the first dual clutch transmission offered on a motorcycle

Honda announced the VFR1200F in 2009 and unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. Production began in October 2009 and first models were delivered in early 2010.
Previously, Honda had displayed a V4 concept bike in October 2008 at the Intermot show in Cologne. It had distinctive design elements that were to appear in the production VFR1200F, in particular the X shaped headlights. Leaks and spy photos of a new Honda appeared in various places including online and print news outlets. Honda created teaser websites in Fall 2009, in which parts of the a new V4 were shown tantalizingly, and a countdown timer was displayed. In October 2009, Honda press materials for the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show announced that the company would display a new bike, the VFR1200F, at the show

Engine

Honda VFR1200F engine with dual clutch transmission at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.

The transverse-mounted V4 architecture is kept from previous models but the VTEC technology is discontinued.
Instead the new engine incorporates the single overhead camshaft distribution system called Unicam which has been already tested on Honda's offroad machines. This compact system reduces engine size which could be placed further forward in the bike's frame while lowering its center of gravity. A 28° positioning of crank pins and a specific firing order of the cylinders reduce vibrations. Therefore engineers avoid the need for a balance shaft and limit the weight of the engine. The throttle is electronic throttle by wire.
The configuration of the cylinders is also unique. The V4 has the rear bank of cylinders paired closely together, with the big ends of the connecting rods on the inner sides of the crank journals. The forward bank of cylinders is conversely set outboard of the rear bank, with the big end journals mounted on the outer sides of the crank journals. This design allows for a much narrower engine at the rear, which gives the rider a slimmer bike and allows an easier reach to the ground from the seat.

 Transmission

The VFR1200F is available with either a conventional sequential manual transmission, or an automatic dual clutch transmission (DCT), both of which are mated to shaft final drive. The DCT version, known is some markets as the VFR1200FD, has dual clutches, one operating 1st, 3rd and 5th gears, the other operating 2nd, 4th and 6th gears. The dual clutches are able to switch quickly between gears and can operate in one of three modes: 'D', which is a fuel-efficient fully automatic mode; 'S', a sports automatic mode, which changes gear at higher engine speeds; and manual mode, in which the rider changes gear using paddles fitted to the handlebars. This gearbox is the first of its type fitted to a large capacity motorcycle, although dual clutch transmissions are already used in automobiles. Unlike the continuously variable transmission installed on scooters, which use a pulley, the DCT gearbox retains engine braking as with a conventional manual transmission.

 Brakes

The VFR1200F incorporates a combined braking system (CBS) as in previous generation VFR models, and anti-lock brakes (ABS) as standard equipment


The reduction in fuel tank capacity from 22 litres (4.8 imp gal; 5.8 US gal) on the previous VFR800 down to 18.5 litres (4.1 imp gal; 4.9 US gal) on the VFR1200F has been the main complaint raised by motorcyclists, coupled with the new engine's higher than expected fuel consumption. On-road tests have shown a maximum distance from a single tank of less than 300 kilometres (186 mi), with some press reviewers running out of fuel after just 240 kilometres (150 mi)

most stylish and larger capcity bike Honda CBR250R

The CBR250R's extensive fairing gives an impression of a larger capacity motorcycle. Styling cues are similar to the bigger VFR1200F. A front fairing extends downwards to shroud its engine bay and also serves to mount the rearview mirrors. The bike's curved visor provides first-rate wind protection at high speed, and wraps around a sporty cockpit. Neat attention to detail is apparent in the attractive steering head, as well as clip-on handlebars. We like the 250R's blue backlit LCD instruments, with silver trim and a compact, easy to decipher layout. An analogue tachometer dominates this bay, with the redline counting 10500rpm upwards. You also get a large digital speedometer, in addition to an odometer, trip counter, clock, fuel and temperature readouts, apart from the usual gauges.

The classy fuel tank is perfectly sculpted. Futuristic flank panels swoop back into the bi-colour tail, split grab bar and edgy brake warning light. Even the lower sections look dandy; beginning in a sharp belly pan, they lead into a stubby silencer crafted from blackened stainless steel and neatly executed rider and pillion footrests. A utility box is tucked under the CBR250R's split seats.

The 249cc, four-stroke, dual overhead camshaft engine in the CBR has been developed from scratch. The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powerplant is fuel injected using Honda's PGM-FI system, and employs a host of cutting-edge technologies to maximise efficiency. 

Honda has used a wet air-filter in view of India's dusty conditions, and the new engine uses four lightweight valves, with thin (4.5mm) stems. The world's first roller rocker arms for a DOHC engine debut on the CBR250R. Bearings support the crankshaft journal in another first for any single-cylinder Honda, while a balancer cuts vibrations. While peak power developed will be about 25.8bhp at 8500rpm in India, a maximum torque figure of close to 2.3kgm at 7000rpm is expected.

All this reads very well on paper, but feels far more fun when commanded by a rider's enthusiastic wrist. The engine note is pleasantly gruff, yet still soft. Engine revs build with a willing thrum the instant you select first, open throttle and let out the well-weighted clutch.

Throttle response is crisp, the CBR250R enjoying a wide, thoroughly refined powerband that even novice riders won't hesitate to exploit. The riding position felt midway between commuter-friendly upright and sporty and kept my wrists reasonably stress-free during this short ride. The CBR250R seat has good padding, helping make this a comfortable bike. Ride quality felt plush, although this was difficult to judge on a racing circuit. Handling is light, street-friendly and stable through the corners. This Honda is soft and forgiving, surefooted enough for an occasional track day, but feels a relatively comfortable motorcycle that is better suited to daily use.

Combined ABS front (296mm floating disc) and rear (220mm) disc brakes as a paid option, the CBR250R has superb stopping power. The combined system is calibrated to intervene and allocate brake pressure to the front and rear brakes whenever you depress the rear brake, while the front brake lever works independently as on any motorcycle. Both brakes are ABS-enabled, the system modulating hydraulic pressure to prevent wheel lock in every situation.

The uphill back straight at Bira ends in a tricky chicane lurking just over a crest, leaping out of nowhere into the bike at about 130kph with frightening regularity. That's precisely where I could feel the CBR chassis and my limited track abilities shimmying close to the edge, only to be rescued lap after lap thanks to the amazing brakes. My contribution was to jump on the brakes and hang on, while the C-ABS system took over and worked its magic without any drama. I never needed to alter my braking habits or found the combined ABS system intrude on brake feel or riding pleasure. This clever system will make a pro of most novices. 

We are yet to test the economy of the bike which will happen in a complete road test when Honda gets the bike to India.

Until then, we assure you; this bike will set a benchmark in India. Honda has managed to understand the Indian market extremely well. The 250R is slated to be launched in India around April 2011 and will provide enthusiasts a fine combination of style, adequate performance, street-friendly handling as well as advanced brakes, at Rs. 1.5 lakh for the base CBR250R. The ABS variant will be priced higher

most sexy powerful stylish bike Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

Open class sportbikes are all about power, and the 2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R continues to set the pace, on track and off. The formula is simple, but the execution is critical: The ZX-10R offers tremendous horsepower, but delivers it with refined controllability through a highly evolved aluminum frame rolling on top-shelf components developed on the track and refined for the street.
• Squeeze-cast wheels offer precise dimensions with less wall thickness and weight, yet are stiffer than gravity-cast units

• Slimmer than ever in new aerodynamic bodywork, the ZX-10R is designed to slice through the atmosphere cleanly at high speed with minimal turbulence

• The front fender aids cooling efficiency by directing air toward the radiator

• A recess on the top of the fuel tank accommodates the helmet’s chin, so it’s easier to tuck-in behind the windscreen at speed

• High mounting position of mirrors, with integrated turn signals, provides excellent rearward visibility and helps to minimize damage if the bike falls over

• The flush surface of the tail’s underside reduces turbulence at the rear of the bike and ensures laminar airflow around the seat

• A large, rear inner fender keeps the bike cleaner and allows the mud flap to be smaller and less obtrusive, further improving aerodynamic qualities around the rear of the machine

• Mirrors, license plate holder and rear turn signals are easily removable for track day prep

• An LED tail light makes the bike more visible to drivers and provides the final styling flourish to the evocative Ninja design
