Ford 1.0 Ecoboost engine
 |
| Ford 1 liter eco boost engine |
 |
| ford focus under bonnet |
Ford has announced a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged engine for the EcoBoost family developed at Ford's Dunton Technical Centre in the UK. Production is to start in April 2012. The 1.0 comes initially in two versions: 74 kW (101 PS; 99 hp) and 88 to 92 kW (120 to 125 PS; 118 to 123 hp). The more powerful version delivers a maximum of 170 N·m (125 lb·ft) from 1,300–4,500 rpm and 200 N·m (148 lb·ft) on overboost, which makes for a broad torque curve when compared to on-road diesel engines. The engine block is cast iron instead of aluminium for up to 50% faster warm-up, at the expense of additional weight but it is not that heavy even after using cast iron engine just weighs around 250 pounds .Due to natural vibrations of a 3-cylinder design, the flywheel has been deliberately unbalanced to ensure smooth running, without the use of energy sapping balance shafts. The engine also features an internal timing chain, bathed in the engine oil, for long life and greater efficiency. The exhaust manifold is cast into the cylinder head, reducing warm up times and therefore further aiding efficiency. All this is packaged in an engine block the size of an A4 sheet of paper.
The engines are produced in Cologne, Germany, with production to later expand in Craiova, Romania. Production is expected to be 700,000–1,500,000 units per year. The engine is available in Ford Focus, the Ford Focus-based C-MAX and Grand C-MAX, and the Fiesta-based B-Max. Ford has claimed it may be available in the future for the North American markets.
Soon it will be introduced to the Fiesta range, most likely with the arrival of the face lift.
Here are the most unique features of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost petrol Engine:
• Small low-inertia turbocharger which increases torque and performance while minimising the lag in response during the acceleration process
• Variable timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts allowing flexibility to optimise engine efficiency under all conditions
 |
• Offset crank and variable oil pump which increase efficiency and ensure the engine runs at optimum oil pressure across the entire speed range
• High pressure solenoid direct injectors are located centrally providing a much cooler and denser fuel-to-air ratio, leading to more efficient combustion and reduced fuel consumption
• Dual-split cooling system with two thermostats which supports a quicker engine warm up, reduced friction within the engine, lower fuel consumption and less emissions when engine is cold
• Cambelt running in oil reduces noise and also reduces friction leading to fuel savings
• Unbalanced flywheel/pulley. Compact in-line three cylinder engines naturally develop a combined pitch and yaw motion (resulting in a booming noise). Instead of introducing a conventional balance shaft to counteract this, the flywheel and crank pulley are intentionally “unbalanced” to offset the primary engine shaking forces.
In Europe, the 98-horsepower engine is rated at 4.8-liters per 100 km (49 mpg US), while the 123 hp version is said to deliver 5.0 liters per 100 km (47 mpg US). We should point out, however, that those numbers are based on the less strict European test cycle and should drop by as much as 20 percent once US EPA testing is done. CO2 emissions output is rated at 109 grams per kilometer and 114 g/km respectively.THE VERDICT
Expecting to be underwhelmed, the Ford's new 1.0L EcoBoost engine surprises with power and is a reassuring sign that the return of the 3-cylinder engine won't spell a new era of outrageously underpowered cars. Perfectly suitable in terms of power for the Focus, it's certain to be an even better match in the Fiesta. There's still more to be done in the area of refinement, while perhaps the biggest potential drawback will be Ford's strategy of pricing its EcoBoost offerings above the conventional gasoline ones, meaning those interested in this ultra efficient gasoline engine have to settle for its diesel-like characteristicsif you like my posts plz subscribe to my blog.if you want to like us on Facebook press this link https://www.facebook.com/MechAffection?fref=ts

YamahaR1 (BORN FROM MOTOGP)
 |
| new YZF-R1 |
A Person puts his passion,skill,hardwork and determination together to make a masterpiece. when it comes to Yamaha they have put their years of hard work, technology and their hart together and made a masterpiece and named it as YAMAHA YZF-R1.
Yamaha build its master piece in 1998 it has been 14 years since it started showing its glory. they made many changes since its birth and introduced several new technology's and made the best even better.
History:
 |
| 1998 R1 |
In 1999 Notable improvements were a redesigned gear change linkage and the gear change shaft length being increased. Fuel tank reserve capacity was reduced from 5.5 to 4.0 litres
In 2000, Yamaha introduced a series of changes to improve the bike, and minor changes to the bodywork to allow for better long duration ride handling. Yamaha's main design goal was to sharpen the pre-existing bike and not to redesign it.they're gole was to reduce the weight of the light bike even further .
For example, even with the addition of the new air induction system, which weighed four pounds, the overall weight of the bike was down five pounds to 414 pounds (188 kg) dry.
A new fuel injection system was introduced for the 2002 year. One notable improvement was the use of new cylinder sleeves of a high silicon content alloy containing magnesium that minimised heat induced distortion, reducing oil consumption. Also in 2002, Yamaha released the newly developed "Deltabox III" frame, which, with its hydro formed construction, dramatically reduced the total number of frame welds. These changes improved the frame's rigidity by 30%. The cooling system was redesigned for better performance and compactness.
For 2003, the only change was fitted hazard warning lights and dipped headlights, which stay on all the time the engine is running.
 |
| 2004 R1 |
2004 was the year when r1 took it beautiful shape which is still continued today
This engine features forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage of the power characteristics. Titanium intake valves are lightweight.
A forced-air intake system is adopted to increase intake efficiency by using the natural airflow during riding to pressurize the air in the air box. This contributes to outstanding power delivery characteristics in the high-speed range, while the design also helps to minimize intake noise.
Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.
The exhaust system is meticulously designed to enhance engine output while, thanks to its three-way catalyst technology, also reducing exhaust emissions. The silencer is a single expansion type, and the sound coming through from the unique crossplane-crankshaft-equipped engine is unlike any other inline-four cylinder production supersport.
This fuel-injected engine takes full advantage of YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle), the MotoGP®-inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. There’s also YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, the variable intake system that broadens the spread of power.
like an under seat twin exhaust, and performance upgrades including radial brakes, and, for the first time an R1 Ram-air intake. Furthermore, the tendency for wheelies by earlier productions was reduced by changing the geometry of the frame and weight distribution. The all-new engine was no longer used as a stressed member of the chassis, and featured a separate top crankcase and cylinder block
For 2006, the swing arm was extended by 20 millimetres to reduce acceleration instability. In this year, Yamaha also released a limited edition version in original Yamaha racing colors to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The model (LE/SP) featured a Kenny Roberts front and rear custom Öhlins suspension units developed by the same team as the YZR-M1 MotoGP bike. Custom forged aluminum Marchesini wheels specifically designed for the LE shaved nearly a pound off the unsprung weight. A back torque-limiting slipper clutch, and an integrated lap timer rounded out the package, making the LE virtually a production racer. Only 500 units were made for the United States with another 500 units for Europe.
 |
| Yamaha r1 special edition |
An all-new YZF-R1 for the 2007 model year was announced on 8 October 2006. Key features included an all-new inline four-cylinder engine, going back to a more conventional four-valves per cylinder, rather than Yamaha's trade mark five-valve Genesis layout. Other new features were the Yamaha Chip Control Intake (YCC-I) electronic variable-length intake funnel system, Yamaha Chip Control Throttle (YCC-T) fly-by-wire throttle system, slipper-type clutch, all-new aluminum Deltabox frame and swingarm, six-piston radial-mount front brake calipers with 310 mm discs, a wider radiator, and M1 styling on the new large ram-air ports in the front fairing. There were no major changes for 2008
In late 2008, Yamaha announced they would release an all new R1 for 2009. The new R1 takes engine technology from the M1 MotoGP bike with its cross plane crankshaft, the first ever production motorcycle to do so. Crossplane technology puts each connecting rod 90° from the next, with an uneven firing interval of 270°- 180°- 90°- 180°. The idea of this technology is to reduce variations of internal crankshaft speed, thus giving the new R1 a more linear power delivery. Yamaha claims the bike would give the rider 'two engines in one', the low end torque of a twin and the pace of an inline four. As with previous incarnations of the R1, the 2009 model keeps its YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle).
 |
| R1 with custom exhaust |
The overall look of the R1 has changed drastically. In a side by side comparison between the 2007 and 2009 models, the 2009 looks much more compact and could be compared to the size of the R6. The center-up exhaust on the 2009 is significantly larger compared to previous models, due to changes in emissions controls. The front has the same classic R1 shape, though the air intake location and headlamp design have been revamped on the 2009 model; utilizing only projector lamps.
 |
| Yamaha r1 |
Now they are going to release a new model for 2013 following are key features offered by new R1
 |
| all new r1 |
- The YZF-R1 benefits from MotoGP® technology – a seven-level Traction Control System. The system has been developed so the rider does not feel any unnatural or harsh intervention from the system. In addition, traction control can aid in reducing tire wear due to less wheel spin. Coupled with the three level D-Mode electronic throttle response control, riders have 21 different choices available to tailor the YZF-R1 to their riding preference.
- This R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-T™ (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is MotoGP® inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I® is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response.
- In keeping with this machine’s exceptional cornering ability and crisp handling, the aluminum frame has been designed to offer exceptional rigidity balance. The rear frame is lightweight Controlled-Fill die-cast magnesium, contributing the optimum mass centralisation. Suspension includes YHSJ (Yamaha Hydraulic Systems Japan) front forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP® bikes: independent damping. The left fork handles compression damping and the right side handles the rebound damping. And the rear shock adopts bottom linkage for optimum suspension characteristics.
- The sound on the YZF-R1 is unlike any other inline-four cylinder production supersport. The precise and throaty pulse of the exhaust note will have riders enthused every time the throttle is opened.
Engine:
 |
| R1 2013 |
- Crossplane crankshaft technology proven in victory after victory on MotoGP® machines provides a high-tech uneven firing interval. Unlike typical inline-four engine design, where the two outer and two inner pistons move together in pairs with 180°intervals, the crossplane crankshaft has each connecting rod 90° with a unique firing order of 270° –180° – 90° – 180°. This overcomes the inherent fluctuations in inertial torque during each engine revolution, and the accompanying peaky torque characteristics. Instead, combustion torque continues to build, giving the rider more linear throttle response with awesome power and traction out of the corners.
- Seven-level Traction Control System allows the rider to get more traction and drive while exiting corners.
- To maximize rider comfort as well as power output, the engine adopts a coupling-type balancer that rotates in the opposite direction as the crankshaft.
- This engine features forged aluminum pistons to take maximum advantage of the power characteristics. Titanium intake valves are lightweight.
- A forced-air intake system is adopted to increase intake efficiency by using the natural airflow during riding to pressurize the air in the air box. This contributes to outstanding power delivery characteristics in the high-speed range, while the design also helps to minimize intake noise.
- Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.
- The exhaust system is meticulously designed to enhance engine output while, thanks to its three-way catalyst technology, also reducing exhaust emissions. The silencer is a single expansion type, and the sound coming through from the unique crossplane-crankshaft-equipped engine is unlike any other inline-four cylinder production supersport.
- This fuel-injected engine takes full advantage of YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle), the MotoGP®-inspired fly-by-wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. There’s also YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, the variable intake system that broadens the spread of power.
Chassis/Suspension:
- The frame has a combination of uncompromising rigidity where needed along with carefully achieved flex for the precise rigidity balance this bike needs to give the rider the full benefit of its handling and engine characteristics. It is a sophisticated combination of Controlled-Fill die-cast, stamping, and gravity casting… the exact technology needed for each portion of this advanced frame.
 |
| new LED lamp |
- Front forks take a page from the championship-winning design of our MotoGP® weapon, the M1. Since both forks always move together, compression damping duties can be confined to the left fork, while rebound damping is precisely handled by the right fork, reducing oil cavitation.
- The rear shock features both high and low speed compression damping plus an easy-to-use screw hydraulic adjustment for preloaded. This unit also adopts a pillow-ball-type joint for exceptional shock absorption, road hold feeling, and damper response. To achieve maximum performance, a bottom linkage is used to work with the rest of the chassis refinements for brilliant, crisp handling characteristics.
- Factory racers get machines tailored to their preferences. Welcome to the club. R1 has adjustable footrests, with a 15mm height and 3mm front-to-rear adjustment.
- Top triple clamps add to the appearance of the YZF-R1, reminiscent of those on the MotoGP® powerhouse YZR-M1.
- LED position lights enhance the YZF-R1’s unique styling.

| yamaha r1 styling |
Additional Features:
- The instrumentation includes everything a rider wants to know, including gear position.
- Have it your way, thanks to Yamaha D-MODE (or “Drive Mode”) variable throttle control. There are three modes that control how YCC-T responds to throttle input from the rider. The selectable “A” mode puts more emphasis on engine response in low to mid range rpm. “B” mode, on the other hand, provides less sharp response to input for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. The standard map is designed for optimum overall performance. Selecting the map you want is as easy as pressing a button on the handlebars.
Conclusion:
R1 is a true masterpiece which took many tweaks and developments which made it more desirable bike. this beast sounds unlike any other bike on the rode looks beautiful with its unique style and got best engine in it which made it more unique from others . but from many reviews i noticed that r1 is somewhat harder to control than other bikes in the class .because its engine is really very powerful you get a lot of power delivery even in low RPM which is good on track but while you are commuting it feels somewhat difficult to handle it on normal roads so in starting it may feel difficult but once you get control on this beast there's no one out there can stop you . Yamaha also gave us 3 power delivery settings so now you can even control it in different roads in just one click but believe me once you get control on the bike you will never use those settings.now the new traction control system offers more confidence to the rider to push the bike to its limits that means more joy.every Pennie of it is worthy Yamaha never disappoints its costumers. and i wish Yamaha will develop the r1 much further and make it even beater YES YAMAHA.

Yamahas Yzf r6 (2013)
.jpg) |
| 2013 YZF R6 |
We all know that 600cc bikes are prefered fore their handling,performance and because they are easy to control when compare to 1000cc bikes and they are affordable as their price is comparatively lower then 1000cc bikes nd they almost gives the same thrill as a 1000cc bike while riding.
moreover they are easy to push them to their limits and at the same time easy to control.there are many 600cc sports bikes out there every bike has it's own style but the king of all the 600cc class bikes is Yamaha's most popular bike YZFR6.it looks stunning and has jaw dropping performance
and handles perfectly like no other bike out there. its light,compact but well balanced bike.
.jpg)
The Yamaha YZF-R6 was introduced in 1999 as the super sport version of Yamaha's Yamaha YZF-R1 super bike, and as a companion to the more street-oriented Yamaha YZF600R sport bike which continued to be sold alongside the R6. The motorcycle featured Yamaha's completely new engine design capable of producing over 108 hp (81 kW) while stationary. The R6 was the world's first 600cc production four-stroke motorcycle producing over 100 hp (75 kW) in stock form.The YZF-R6 has been revised several times since its introduction. Starting with the 2003 model, the R6 became fuel-injected. The 2006 model year was a significant upgrade with a new engine management system featuring the YCC-T ride by wire throttle and a multi-plate slipper clutch. The 2008 model incorporated the YCC-I variable-length intake system to optimise power at high engine rpm and an improved Delta box frame design.
now there is a new revise model with some new colours and graphic changes which made this beauty more beautiful
Key features of R6 2013
Key Features:
.jpg)
The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with YCC-T®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle system—for flawless response under all conditions
.
YCC-I®, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, is used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader power band.
Back torque-limiting slipper-type clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio 6-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.
Engine:
Compact, lightweight 67mm x 42.5mm, 599cc DOHC 16-valve, liquid-cooled titanium-valved four-cylinder has a compression ratio of 13.1:1, for great response. Domed pistons with valve cutouts produce a compact combustion chamber.Fuel injection mapping for the YCC-T—Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle dual-injector system complements the high compression ratio for great throttle response and reduced engine braking.
YCC-I—Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake electronically varies intake tract length for a broader power band.
YCC-T uses a powerful ECU and multiple sensors to provide perfect, smooth engine response and optimal power whenever the throttle is twisted under all conditions.Twin-injector fuel injection: shower-type injectors above each intake funnel help achieve optimum fuel atomisation at high rpm.
Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking and downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio six-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.
GP-style titanium muffler contributes to mass centralisation and contains EXUP® for a broad power band, and 02 sensor for spot-on injection and emissions compliance.
Liner less, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores mean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.
Cool magnesium valve and engine covers are light and stylish.
Direct-ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.
Chassis/Suspension:
A magnesium sub frame removes weight from the rear of the motorcycle for increased mass centralisation..jpg)
Deltabox® aluminium frame incorporates GP thinking in terms of engine positioning and rigidity for the ultimate in 600-class handling.The lightweight swing arm pivots high in the frame, for increased anti-squat effect and mid-corner stability. TZ-type chain adjusters ease rear tire changes.
Four-way adjustable (preload, high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound damping) inverted fork with 41mm tubes increases freedom in setting up for street or track use; soak up the bumps and resist bottoming when braking.
Four-way adjustable (preload,high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound damping) piggyback rear shock delivers exceptional rear wheel tracking and stability.
Dual 310mm front disc brakes use forged one-piece radial-mount callipers and radial-pump front master cylinder with adjustable lever for astounding braking power and feel.
The casting technique for the five-spoke 17-inch wheels makes the rims light and strong, not to mention wickedly cool-looking.
Removable rear shock spacer and adjustable fork ride height allows the rider to tailor the ride position for the best fit and comfort.
Additional Features:
Built-in lap timer is controlled by a right handlebar switch..jpg)
Multifunction digital and analog instrumentation features: programmable shift light, digital speedometer, analog tachometer, dual trip meters with miles-on-reserve function, odometer, water temp gauge and lights for neutral, high beam, low fuel and turn signals.
Let's see what the iconic Yamaha YZF R6 has inside it! The machine has been assembled with compact but power packed liquid cooled, 4 stroke, forward inclined parallel 4 cylinder, 16 valves, DOHC engine. The power plant of the Yamaha YZF R6 belts out a top power of 127 bhp at 14,500 rpm and pumps out a peak torque of 65.8 Nm at 11,000 rpm. These figures can be achieved only by a true sports bike. The displacement of the bike is 599cc.
In addition, for better and maximum use of engine output, Yamaha YZF R6 incorporates 6 speed manual gearbox. You can only have electric start system for R6. In view to get higher power band, the Yamaha YZF R6 has been loaded with Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake. In addition, it has Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle dual-injector system for fuel injection mapping. The system promises reduced mill braking and better throttle response.
The Yamaha YZF R6 has been blessed with super quality braking system and forks. The front brake is dual disc type with 330mm dia and rear one is single disc with 220mm dia. These amazing combination of front and rear disc brake can halt the Yamaha YZF R6 at any speed. The machine is loaded with front telescopic with 41mm travel and rear one is swing arm type link suspension.
.jpg)
Yamaha has many high performance bikes other than r6 like r1,v max etc but r6 has its own style .
If r1 is all about the engine then R6 is all about its handling. it is small in size and comparatively lack of weight
makes it turn into corners much more quicker than r1.which makes the handling effort less.
conclusion:
.jpg)
we know that nothing much is changed in the r6 since 2008 and it don't need to be changed because it is still the best of all 600cc bikes.for me it is better looking to . so there are many other choices out there the choice is yours.SHARE THIS POST

kawasaki Ninja 250R 2013
The world’s favourite 250cc motorcycle just got a facelift, and a massive one at that, with a host of changes to ensure that the 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 250R kicks the competition’s(read Honda CBR250R) butt quite comprehensively. First of all, the styling of the motorcycle sees a sea change. Up fronts, the headlamps are twin units, like the Yamaha R15, along with revised front and side fairings which also house the turn indicators. The motorcycle gets other stylistic changes in the form of raked up pillion seat and a new tail section. The motorcycle also gets a new exhaust muffler.
All in all, the Kawasaki Ninja 250R looks strikingly similar to the Yamaha R15′s supersport styling. All along, the Kawasaki Ninja 250R featured a slightly relaxed riding position and with the 2013 model, the motorcycle breaks away from tradition to embrace styling that is supersport like with an aggressive riding position. Considering the able track tool that the Ninja 250R has always been, the new styling and riding dynamics will only improve this further. The motorcycle also gets new design for the alloy wheels and new disc brakes at the front and the rear. Also, the instrumentation cluster is staggering.
No question, Honda hit a home run with the 2011 CBR250R, a compact, fully modern interpretation of the quarter-liter commuter/sportbike. The Honda entered a market segment that had been dominated by Kawasaki’s twin-cylinder 250R ever since the little Ninja’s introduction in 1986. The Kawasaki hadn’t seen many updates over the years, simply because there wasn’t much competition, although it did undergo a significant refresh in 2008.
But those tweaks weren’t enough to let the Ninja match the refinement and build quality of the fuel-injected, ABS-equipped, single-cylinder CBR.
As Honda priced its 2012 CBR250R ABS at $4599, which is just $400 more than the MSRP for the current non-ABS Ninja, Kawasaki was forced to react.
Rumors of an updated 250 Ninja have come out several months ago,but information and photos of the 2013 model finally surfaced on Kawasaki Japan’s home-market websiteAccording to that website, the engine, frame and suspension are all-new. The liquid-cooled, dohc, eight-valve, 249cc parallel-Twin will almost certainly be fuel-injected, despite the disclaimer that EFI will not be available in all markets.If competing against the rival Honda is the Ninja’s intent, injection would seem to be mandatory
As for the chassis, the Ninja’s new high-tensile steel frame is more rigid to improve stability and handling. Additionally, the engine is rubber-mounted to reduce vibration
 |
| ColoRs of the new model |
Styling-wise, the new 250 evidently was inspired by the current ZX-10R and ZX-14R. The crisp, angular upper fairing incorporates headlights reminiscent of those on Kawasaki’s flagship liter-class sportbike, and new side fairings with ZX-14R-like vents are part of an effort to better manage heat and keep it away from the rider. An all-new tailsection is more in line with Kawasaki’s current design trends. Ten-spoke wheels and a more modern-looking exhaust silencer (incorporating a new heat shield) also freshen up the visuals, while a hybrid analog/digital dash gives the new Ninja a more polished appearance.

Knowing the unknown new CBR 250r
Since its inception on US shores in 2011, Honda's CBR250R has been the main competitor of the Ninja 250, the entry-level sportbike Kawasaki brought stateside back in 1986.
Best of all, the CBR250R is available in two versions: the CBR250R and the CBR250R ABS with our Anti-lock Brake System – a first for the segment and a really valuable option that both first-timers and experienced riders will appreciate. And for 2013, there's even more color choices: Black, a new all-Red, and a new Pearl White/Blue/Red--all featuring blacked out wheels and exhaust. Plus, there's an amazing new Repsol replica versionExcept for color options, the CBR 250 R didn't receive any major revisions for 2012, and the same goes for 2013. The major news for the 2013 CBR250R is the additional colors - Pearl White/Blue/Red, Red and Black, and the one that everyone MotoGP fan will surely enjoy - Repsol (only available in standard model without ABS)
Also new for 2013 are black wheels (not available on the Repsol), and a new black exhaust cover
Regarding suspension, the lightweight Honda CBR250R features a diamond twin-spar steel frame plus a 37mm front fork and Pro-Link single-shock rear suspension, which provide impressive handling and a comfortable ride.
The machine gets 77 mpg, which allows over 200-miles to a tank of gas, and will be kind to the wallet. Although 2012 pricing has yet to be announced, it should be close to its debut prices of $3,999 and $4,499 for ABS.
There are also some Honda Genuine Accessories available, including passenger seat cowl (black), carbon fiber tank pad, carbon fiber fuel lid, and outdoor cover.
