Five New Bikes That Upend MotorCycle Performance

Motorcycles call if necessary, but these ultra-performance two wheels are nothing short MHz

As the motoring world has begun to digest the incredible performance cars like the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Nissan GT-R Nismo, which must now prepare for a pop culture incomprehensibly fast motorcycles.

2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R. (Kawasaki)

Street-legal, two-wheeled hyper-speed is not new; Kawasaki Ninja 900, Suzuki GSXR1100 1000 and 1980 Honda Hurricane eradicated all parameters prior to performance street bikes. Such was his power that a bill to ban was introduced in the US Congress. It failed.

The performance of the motorcycle has already gradually slid up, with powerful machines faster increase of one percentage point or two a year - which was, until 2014, when manufacturers design a jump that recalls the arrival of the year Bicycle 80.

First came the Kawasaki Ninja H2, released in the Intermot show in Germany in September 2014. The Japanese automaker could have just launched a rocket-propelled Granada, so thoroughly did the H2-legal on the street and 300 horsepower, track H2R only light internet.

About that number 300 hp, which can strangle the imagination as 707 figure of the witch. Comes courtesy of supercharging, an almost unknown technology in the circles of two wheels.

It's like Kawasaki engineers woke up one day to realize his father, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, owned by all kinds of subsidiaries, Gas Turbine & Machinery Company and Aerospace Company, which could be exploited to contribute know -how to a ridiculous sport bike with aerodynamic wind tunnel-developed to provide the necessary high speed stability.

The H2R is not a racing machine, only a bicycle built to be sold to ordinary citizens who enjoy exercising their motorcycles at the racetrack. The street-going power of H2 has not yet been officially released, but also packs 998 cc engine and transmission specification racing supercharged, so it will be quite fast. How fast? This seems pretty quick.

Incidentally, the H2 is not the first foray Kawasaki forced induction, which is fed large amounts of air into the engine to optimize fuel combustion and increase power. That was the GPZ750 Turbo 1984-1985, prompting a similar foam 30 years. And while Kawasaki could have hit first betting hot-bike in 2014, the brand is not only at the outer limits.





2015 Yamaha YZF-R1M. (Yamaha)

In November Esposizione Motorcycling Mondiale (EICMA) in Milan, the biggest show of the motorcycle in Europe, competitors have developed its own surprisingly fast computer. Consider new Yamaha YZF-R1M. Its naturally aspirated engine of 998 cc in-line four-cylinder rated at 200 horses and riders benefit from the help of electronic MotoGP caliber to take those horses. R1 gets a electronic control system slides engine power metes out according to tilt and yaw angle relative to the direction of travel. It also has a system to limit the height of horses, so that passengers avoid falling backwards with the front wheels raised.





2015 Honda RC213V-S prototype. (Honda)

Down the hall at EICMA, Honda dropped all pretense of keeping the street from the track are divided, rather pretty screwed plates and lights his RC213V MotoGP and offer for sale machine.

The result is the Honda RC213V-S Prototype. The "S" is added to the MotoGP name of the company to indicate that it is the legal issue in the streets. Given habitual secrecy of Honda, the company released no further details, but the slogan "MotoGP bike for the street" was enough to draw attention to a lot of Milan.




2015 Ducati Panigale 1299. (Ducati)

Naturally, if performance is the discussion, the Italians are involved. Ducati 1299 Panigale revealed at EICMA, larger displacement version of the reply of the race, while Aprilia RSV4 RR launched an updated edition of his RSV4 super sports bike.

The new Panigale uses an additional 100cc engine displacement to increase horsepower to 205. An "R" version of the Panigale exists to make several desirable eligible high performance parts for use in their ostensibly World Superbike riders based street bicycle. In this case titanium valves means a lighter crankshaft counterweights using tungsten, and low friction piston using only two rings instead of the three usual for sealing.




RR 2015 Aprilia RSV4. (Aprilia)

Aprilia RSV4 says RR is the street version during its World Superbike contender, and V4 999.6cc engine cranks out 201hp. That muscle is cornered by the electronic systems that keep traction, boats and horses, each of which can be separated off if the rider prefers crashing - er, control it manually.

In fact, this type of electronic aids can keep politicians to claw at bay while allowing engineers to tease even more power and speed of their creations. But first, an answer to the question that is faster at 200 mph requires: the witch or H2?

This must have been a memorable victory for Rossi as the race in Philip Island was his 250th appearance in MotoGP racing. Also, it was the first time after the 2008 race in Le Mans that fans get to see an all Yamaha rostrum, as Rossi’s teammate Jorge Lorenzo finished second. Whereas, Bradley Smith of Monster Yamaha Tech3 crossed the finish line in third place and reached the podium for the first time during this season.

Both Valentino and Jorge were lucky to secure first and second position in the race. Given that Rossi made his fortune after the double MotoGP title winner Marc Marquez lost his front and crashed out of the competition. Whereas, Jorge was led by British rider Cal Crutchlow at one stage during the race it looked as if he would be able to secure the second position. However, alike Marc, Crutchlow too failed to maintain his advantage and slide off the track in the final stages of the competition.

Marquez and Cal were not the only two riders, who failed to finish the race, as seven other riders either crashed or failed to cross the finish line. Most of these riders were frontrunners, but it favoured Smith greatly as he managed to reach the rostrum. Ducati Team’s Andrea Dovizioso was the fourth best rider in the race, whereas Avintia Racing’s Hector Barbera was the fifth racer to cross the finish line. This was Barbera’s best performance in the premier class racing so far.

GO&FUN Honda Gresini’s Alvaro Bautista also showed his performance of the season in the race, as he crossed the chequered flag in sixth place. Bautista’s partner Scott Redding was not too far from him, as he finished seventh. Drive M7 Aspar’s Hiroshi Aoyama, NGM Forward Racing’s Alex de Angelis and Drive M7 Aspar’s star rider Nicky Hayden also managed to finish the Philip Islan race inside the top ten.

The Australian Grand Prix was an opportunity for Marquez to equal Mick Doohan’s 1997 record winning the most races in a single season of premier class. Especially, after he secured the title back in Japan at last weekend. Unfortunately, the Repsol Honda rider could not maintain the advantage after he outstripped Lorenzo and then Rossi to take the lead.

British racer Crutchlow also looked in belligerent mood on Sunday, as he outshined Japanese Grand Prix winner Lorenzo during the race and got hold of the second place. But he also lost the front of his Ducati when five laps were left in the race. However, it was Cardion AB Motoracing’s Karel Abraham, who was the first faller of the day. Then, it was Pramac Racing’s Andrea Iannone who went down, but he did not fell alone. Iannone took Dani Pedrosa with him, when the front of his bike came into contact with Repsol Honda rider’s bike.

LCR Honda MotoGP’s Stefan Bradl also had a similar experience as his bike brushed against the rear of Aleix Espargaro’s machine. Paul Bird Motorsport’s Broc Parks also failed to finish the race as he never returned from the pits. Monster Yamaha Tech 3’s Pol Espargaro was not as lucky as its other rider was, as he too lost his front while chasing Lorenzo.

Jorge Lorenzo Sets the Best Time in Friday’s Practice at Phillip Island Despite Crash

The MotoGP FP session at Phillip Island, Australia on Friday, October 17th belonged to Movistar Yamaha MotoGP’s Jorge Lorenzo, who set the best time despite crashing in the afternoon session. The newly World Champion Marc Marquez and Pramac Racing’s Andrea Iannone were the other two riders, who set the best pace in a chaotic day after Lorenzo. Given that Iannone too suffered a crash during the Free Practice 2. The Misano race winner Valentino Rossi was not able to show his true skills in this session, as he set the fifth best time during the practice.

In contrast, Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati showed better performance and set the fourth best time during the day. Aleix Espargaro of NGM Forward Racing also managed to end the session well by finishing inside the top six. The top ten was rounded by Ducati Team’s Cal Crutchlow, Monster Yamaha Tech3’s Pol Espargaro, Energy T.I. Pramac Racing’s Yonny Hernandez and Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa.

It seems that by setting the fastest time in Australia, Lorenzo has validated his teammate’s doubt. Rossi, who is tied on the points table with Pedorsa for the runner-up position, had said a few days ago that it’s Jorge who is the real threat for him. The Doctor said so because Lorenzo has won the last two Grand Prix and now he is just three points behind Rossi and Dani in the overall standings.

Valentino said in Japan that the second place contest is between him, Lorenzo and Pedrosa and he is anxious because his teammate is quite fast. He also said that though he love the circuits in Philip Island and Sepang, but competing in back to back three races is very difficult. In such case, a good start is very crucial, said the Yamaha rider.

So if Lorenzo carries on with the same momentum in Sunday’s race at Philip Island, it is quite likely that he may notch the runner-up position from Dani and Rossi. The two riders will already be feeling the heat as they did not do too well in Friday’s practice session. Still one cannot completely rule Dani and Rossi out of the contest. The two premier class racers had managed to end up on the podium in spite of not doing so well in the practice sessions.

Besides Rossi and Dani, the double premier class world champion Marquez can also give a tough fight to Lorenzo, Rossi and Dani. In spite of the fact that he has already seized the title and now he is looking to have more fun. So keep your fingers crossed and wait for another exciting round of the 2014 MotoGP season.

That battle was won by Aleix, as he managed to outstrip Cal in the last few moments of the race by crossing the chequered flag in second place. The fourth place was gained by LCR Honda MotoGP’s Stefan Bradl, whilst the fifth position was occupied by Monster Yamaha Tech3’s Bradley Smith.

Smith got hold of the fifth place after a tough fight with his teammate Pol Espargaro. Bradley crossed the finish line just 0.203s before Pol to round the top five. The remaining five positions were seized by GO&FUN Honda Gresini’s Alvaro Bautista, Drive M7 Aspar’s Hiroshi Aoyama and Nicky Hayden and GO&FUN Honda Gresini’s Scott Redding.

Crutchlow’s teammate Andrea Dovizioso, who was performing consistently during this season, also suffered a crash at Aragon before he could switch his dry-setup bike with the wet one. Dovizioso was then taken to a hospital in order to check hip trauma. The rain forced riders to switch to wet-setup machines as it started to come down heavily in the final stages of the competition.

Rossi was also taken to the medical centre after the crash, as he suffered a concussion. However, a CT scan of his skull ruled out any chances of bleeding in the brain. In fact, now there is nothing to worry about as the MotoGP medical director Michele Zasa said in a statement that Valentino has recovered well.
