Stylish bikes - Right & wrong

Posted by JAWWAD |0 comments

Good design is more or less taken for granted these days. Attractive styling has always been a plus when it comes to bike sales, but now that manufacturers have recognised the full value, it has become a must. In fact, out of all the models currently on offer, you'd be hard pushed to find a really bad one.

So I take great delight whenever a particularly striking example of how not to design a motorcycle turns up. After all, nothing demonstrates the principles of good bike design better than having something hopelessly incompetent to compare against.

Actually celebrating such disasters at the annual design awards with one dedicated to "The World's Ugliest Bike" seemed like a fun idea, but in the end the topic was just too sensitive to implement. Pointing the finger is not so amusing when it's your own design that everyone's laughing at, so in the name of diplomacy, public humiliation was replaced by a little backstage sniggering.

But bad styling isn't just a matter of ugly shapes. Over-enthusiasm, especially when mixed with inexperience, can also spell disaster - even when all the right ingredients appear to be in place.

One wonderful example is the new Clipic Samurai. At first glance, the styling appears deceivingly acceptable, and other than a certain untidiness, there's little about the machine that is notably offensive when considered in isolation. The lines are fairly dynamic, the face aggressive, and the overall presence suggests an engine much larger than the 125 single inside. The model vaguely resembles a rather dumpy first-series Yamaha R1, albeit decorated with some gaudy after-market decals, but take a longer look and the problem becomes apparent. The parts just don't belong on the same machine.According to BMW, "The HP2 is the first model in a new, independent category of motorcycles being developed by BMW Motorrad", albeit it, the company warns, at a premium. Which presumably means we can expect further models of a similar pared-down philosophy introduced across the range. If so, the sports models promise to be very exciting indeed, and would give the company a real flagship in the supersports category - an area in which it has been noticeably lacking in recent years,

Eco Bikes: Peugeot HYmotion3 - An electric beast on three wheels!

Posted by JAWWAD |0 comments

EcoFactor: A stylish, stable and scorching hot three-wheeled concept bike that uses an electric-gasoline hybrid powertrain to motor along on a clean ride.

The Peugeot HYmotion3 is an amalgamation of the best bike technology in the world today and incorporates a few new green features to go along. The concept bike is being presented at the Paris Motor Show and brings together BMW’s C1, Piaggio’s MP3 and Toyota’s Prius with a new design and more comfort. HYmotion3 uses the safety cage that the C1 sports but extends the facility to even the rider on the back. This makes for a ride that is more convenient and cozy. It uses a hybrid powertrain much like the Prius and gives you an emission-free ride at low speeds using the energy from regenerative braking technology. While it is an all-diesel engine at high speeds, this still cuts out emissions to an extent when you are just cruising at a low pace.The two-front wheel design might appear to be borrowed from MP3, but they add a lot more stability and turning radius to the bike. The HYmotion3 is powered by a supercharged 125cc engine with 20bhp engine that will give you an excellent pick-up speed. The bike can start at moment’s notice and will shut down immediately when it comes to a halt. This makes sure that you save energy and still have the convenience of making a fast getaway when needed.

Triumph motorcycle

Posted by JAWWAD |0 comments

In the year under review sales of Triumph motorcycles rose to 37,400 units. This represents a growth of 18% compared to the previous year’s sales of 31,600 units. The operating profit, before interest and tax, stayed almost constant at GBP 10.3 million (USD 19.1m) due to significant investment in new production capacity.

The launch in early 2006 of the Daytona 675 supersports bike and the unique, 50’s-inspired Triumph Scrambler have both contributed to Triumph’s strong sales performance.

Together with Triumph’s focus on distinctive stylish design, it has attracted a significant number of younger customers. Triumph’s global customer research shows that over the last few years the proportion of customers aged under 35 years, buying a new Triumph, has more than doubled. This customer segment now represents almost a quarter of all Triumph’s customers.

Tue Mantoni, Commercial Director, says that new models are extremely important to driving growth and he is very pleased with the reception of both the Daytona 675 and Scrambler, and the recently launched all-new Triumph Tiger.In addition, he sait that it has been great to see demand continuing to increase across the rest of Triumph range, with models like the Rocket III, Speed Triple and retro-styled modern classics appealing strongly.

Triumph consistent growth over the last few years has given it a strong business platform and have expanded the production capacity in the last year to meet the increased demand for Triumph motorcycles.

2009 Ducati Sportclassic 1000S - GT1000 - GT1000 Touring

Posted by JAWWAD |0 comments

Remember the 70’s? What a decade. Big cars, rough bars and stylish bikes. A good decade is one you can barely remember for all the right reasons. Fortunately, Ducati remember the 70’s. It is in fact the inspiration behind its SportClassic range: a family of bikes that recreate the original minimalist style from the ‘Café Racer’ era. That means plenty of chrome, polished finishes, round headlights and modern engineering behind original 70’s styled components. Classic Ducatis for the modern rider.

For 2009, the SportClassic family comprises the Sport 1000 S, the GT 1000 and the new GT 1000 Touring.

The Sport 1000S sports a period-style fairing, a dual seat. The race-inspired Trellis frame is fitted with high performance Marzocchi 43mm upside-down front forks (with classic brushed aluminium surfaces), while the rear suspension uses twin fully adjustable Sachs shocks.

Two simple and stylish colour schemes are available, black or red with a white stripe. Both versions feature black frames, wheels and exhaust systems, while a removable tailpiece cover rounds out the Café Racer look. Removing the tailpiece reveals an additional seat, but best to keep that little secret to yourself.

TOMAHAWK:The WORLD'S FASTES BIKE

Posted by JAWWAD |0 comments

Well, there is a reason I did not go out of my way and call it the fastest two wheeler on turf and that is quite simple because it ain’t one. The Tomahawk is still a bike but it seems to have four wheels under it. To carry this super heavy weight among the bikes that is pretty much a requirement. But that does not take away an iota of style or sheer intimidating appearance that the Tomahawk carries. This is pretty much the “Iron Mike’ among the bikes and is designed to deliver that early second round knock out. That does not mean that there is nothing pretty about this machine.

TOKYO MOTOR SHOW:TWO-WHEEL THUNDERDOME

Posted by JAWWAD |0 comments

Honda EVO6 (Photo by Jerry Garrett) More Photos

TOKYO — Although most of the media focus at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show is on the three convention halls stuffed with the latest four-wheel dream machines, Tokyo is the only major auto show that also showcases motorcycles. They’re over in a pulsating big top tent officially called the North Hall, but for bikers, it should be called Fantasyland — something on the order of “Blade Runner” meets the mechanical bull scene in “Urban Cowboy.”

Besides the eyeball-assaulting light show, music loud enough to make your ears bleed and models in go-go boots and vinyl minidresses, there is a full spectrum of new rides, from futuristic to retro.

Let’s start at the Honda booth, where on one side, it’s back to the future, and on the other, Jimmy Carter is president again: the CB1100F, to me, evokes great old Hondas like the CBX, albeit with fewer exhaust pipes. Others will see what they want to see, but either way, it’s a beaut. The CB1100R (R for race) is about as ’70s as shag carpet, monaural LPs and polyester pants. Great retro themes overall though, and certainly buildable.

Muscle Bike Party: the Honda EVO6 has some really outer-galaxy styling and it’s coupled with a smart use of Honda’s underutilized six-cylinder engine from the Gold Wing. Output in this format would be more than the Gold Wing’s 118 horsepower. It looks like the styling department, however, ran out of time before they got to the rear of the bike.

2300 cc Bike on Indian Roads

After Harley Davidson, now its UK's famous bike manufacturer Triumph's turn to run and burn its tyres on Indian roads, by the end of this year.

"We plan to get in a series of models from our line-up," Nick Bloor, whose family owns the Triumph brand, said.
Bloor, the export manager for the company, said Triumph was negotiating with seven to eight firms in India, that includes Bajaj Autoand a lifestyle product maker.
"We are here to formulate a strategy for getting into India and are confident to find a partner by the middle of this year," he said.

The models that the company is planning to launch includes 2300-cc 'Rocket III Touring' cruiser, covered in chrome and infused with Triumph's original and authentic styling.

Urban sports bikes like the 675-cc 'Street Triple' and the amazing 'Daytona 675', that won the Best Supersport in both the Supertest and Masterbike 2007 track tests in Spain, could also come in.

However, with import duty, price could be a deterrent. The Rocket III, the company's flagship product, costs around 12,000 pounds in the UKand would cost you well over Rs 18 lakh after a duty of about 110%

"These products cater to a different and niche segment and we come here with an eye on the future. We feel it is an exciting market with fantastic growth potential," Bloor said.

Modern classics like the 865-cc 'Bonneville' and a deluxe version of the sixties icon, the 'Bonneville T100' could also come in.

"Powered by air-cooled parallel twins, their performance, brakes and fuel injection are tuned to current times, even though they are classic," Bloor said.

So, when are you planning to ride one ?

SUPER FASTER SPORTS BIKE

Yes, they are finally here. The macho 1670cc V-twin POWER cruiser MT-01 and the slick 998cc R1 are already lazing around in Yamaha’s garage in downtown Delhi. By the end of next month, the Jap bike maker is going to announce the PRICE of their super bikes.

“We are putting in PLACE the after-sales infrastructure now. It’s very IMPRTANT to have a solid back-up in place for these bikes. Technicians have to be SPECIALLY TRAINED to SERVICES these machines because they are highly sophisticated,” a Yamaha spokesperson said.

That’s not all. Yamaha also intends to train CUSTOMERS in the skills necessary to handle these superfast motorcycles. These super bikes will be sold for an estimated Rs 11-13 lakh, and when you are coughing up that amount of money, you expect the service back up to be spot-on. Forty-five-year-old Arun Thareja, who is a super bike specialist and owns three of them, says, “People are going to go down on these bikes, so more than after-sales support, companies should be ready with spare parts like panels, indicators, panels and wind screens. And oh yes, the tyres wear out every 7,000-8,000 km, so the sales department should have a good stock ready. I think one or two service centres in each city would do.”

Even Suzuki is keen to launch their super bikes here. Says Atul Gupta, VP-marketing at Suzuki Motorcycles and Scooters India: “We are keenly studying three aspects of selling high-end bikes. One is how well can we homologate our high-end bikes for Indian conditions. Also, we are looking at what are the top cities where we see maximum sales potential and then the question of how well we manage to handle the after-sales and parts issues.”

So, companies planning to launch their top-end bikes here feel that after-sales service is what they should look into first. “We are already ensuring that Suzuki’s technical team is trained in Japan to handle those bikes who, in turn, will train our dealers in India. Training does not incur lot of cost; in fact, most Suzuki dealers have enough space, which is the biggest cost for them. But we are working out a very sound after-sales strategy for being able to sell our high-end bikes in the country,” Gupta adds.

Even Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) is bullish about the niche market that India offers for super bikes. Says Sanjay Gupta, senior manager, marketing at HMSI: “We will be going forward by introducing safety riding skills first. We already have simulators in place at some of our dealerships where a customer is put through various emergency situations. At present, we are putting in place the basic infrastructure before introducing the big bikes here.”

So when you have a machine that accelerates from 0-100 kph in less than three seconds and has a top speed of 300 kph, it’s imperative for bike makers to have the necessary service infrastructure in place. And who knows, on Indian roads, an ambulance service also doesn’t seem very far fetched!
