                     Kawasaki zx1000rr Components Engine Kawasaki engineers used a stacked design for a liquid-cooled, 998 cc (60.9 cu in) inline four-cylinder engine. The crankshaft axis, input shaft and output shaft of the Ninja ZX-10R engine are positioned in a triangular layout to reduce engine length, while the high-speed generator is placed behind the cylinder bank to reduce engine width. With a bore and stroke of 76 mm × 55 mm (3.0 in × 2.2 in), the ZX-10R engine's one-piece cylinder and crankcase assembly reduces weight and increases rigidity. The DOHC are machined from chromoly steel, built for strength; four valves per cylinder improve high-rpm breathing; and the forged, lightweight pistons offer high heat resistance to further enhance the bike's power-to-weight ratio. Cooling system In addition to liquid cooling, the ZX-10R engine has an oil cooler adjacent to the oil filter to reduce oil temperat...

                         KTM 690 Duke The KTM 690 Duke is the latest generation in KTM's line of midrange single-cylinder engine supermoto or naked motorcycles that began with the 1994 609 cc (37.2 cu in) displacement Duke 620 or Duke I, followed by the 1998 625 cc (38.1 cu in) Duke 640 or Duke II, followed by the 654 cc (39.9 cu in) Duke III, and finally the 690 cc (42 cu in) Duke IV made since 2012. Both the Duke III and Duke IV are called the 690 Duke. The 690 Duke is the most powerful production single-cylinder motorcycle.

                   KTM 990 Super Duke 990 Super Duke The 990 Super Duke was KTM's first naked bike with two cylinders. In 2002, the Super Duke was first presented to the public at the Intermot . Style-forming elements were the 9 kg lightweight tubular steel frame made of chrome-molybdenum steel and the angular attachments. A short time later it became known that the Super Duke is powered not by the 942 cc LC8 engine of the Reiseenduro Adventure , but by a new 999 cc version with gasoline injection and 88 kW (120 hp). Various stages of expansion have since been presented at exhibitions and fairs, until it finally came on the market as the 990 Super Duke in 2005. Model Development   For the 2007 model year, the 990 Super Duke has undergone a major facelift for the first time. It received some subtle visual changes (lamp mask, front fender, speedometer unit), a larger tank (plus 3.5 l to 18.5 l), radially...

                           Aprilia Tuono  Aprilia Tuono The Aprilia Tuono is a naked motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia from 2002. It is based heavily upon the Aprilia RSV Mille and its successor, the Aprilia RSV1000R superbike with which is shares its engine, gearbox, frame and, partly, its suspension. The Tuono was succeeded by the Aprilia Tuono V4 R for model year 2011, though the V2 model continued in production into the 2011 model year. Design Aprilia Tuono is designed as a muscly streetfighter with a lot of electronic aids such as multi level traction control, ABS, Wheelie control, launch control and AQS(Aprilia Quick Shift electronic System). Since 2004, a lot of changes have been made but the basics almost remains the same. 2006 - 2010 Tuono 1000 R Factory The Tuono 1000 R Factory comes with fully adjustable Öhlins Racing rear mono-shock and front forks, blue- or gold-ano...

                       Ducati Streetfighter S Ducati Streetfighter Ducati wants you to believe its Streetfighter is an authentic example of the breed--essentially, a stripped-down 1098 Superbike. But it's not--it's better than that. It's an all-new motorcycle that shares few components with the ancestral Superbike, but it's not another dumbed-down OEM imposter. For starters, the Superbike's brutal power delivery remains intact. Because Ducati developed a naked-bike chassis adequate to control that copious power, the Streetfighter is better than any "authentic" 1098 streetfighter could ever be--and likely the best naked bike to hit the market yet. A naked 1098 would be a handful. Track-ready geometry wouldn't agree with the new weight distribution dictated by the upright riding position. Recognizing this, Ducati drafted a new steel-trellis frame with 1.1 degrees more rake and .7 inches more trail to slow stee...

                            BMW S1000R BMW S1000R The BMW S1000R is a naked bike motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad from 2014. It is based heavily upon the S1000RR superbike with which it shares its engine, gearbox, frame and suspension. The de-tuned inline four engine from the S1000RR is optimized for low to mid range performance and delivers a maximum output of 118kW at 11,000 rpm and maximum torque of 112Nm at 9,250 rpm. 2017 update The new 2017 model has increased power, maximum of 165 hp, which is 5 hp more than the previous model.It is also 3 kg lighter than the previous model.It has upgraded ABS, traction control, and a new exhaust.The lighter frame and upgraded electronics are taken from S1000RR. Like the S1000RR, it has BMW’s "Gearshift Assist Pro" quickshifter as standard, which augments its performance. BMW S1000R review watch on the link    ...

                  KTM 1290 Super Duke R KTM 1290 Super Duke R The KTM 1290 Super Duke R is a 1301 cc 75° V-twin engined motorcycle from the Austrian manufacturer KTM. With the update in 2017 the motor is the most powerful LC8 engine ever built by KTM. Design The KTM 1290 Super Duke R has a naked body. The 2014-2016 models suspension was considered to be to soft but the 2017 update has addressed this with stiffer springs. The 2016 model had compression ratio of 13.2:1 and 2017 model has increased compression ratio to 13.6:1. The 2017 model has upgraded electronics such as lean angle sensitive traction control, ride by wire, and optional track mode along with previous model's cornering ABS, Cruise control, quickshifter, riding modes etc. Performance Due to its sheer power, it can easily do wheelies. For 2014 model, it had acceleration of 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds, 0-200 km/h in 7.2 seconds, braking dista...
