This is the first time that motorcycle registrations in Europe's primary markets have been over one million units since before the 2007-2008 financial crisis and the 'Great Recession' it triggered.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">On an extrapolated basis, total EU 27 plus UK motorcycle registrations likely exceeded 1,250,000 units in 2023; with the total for all 44 European national markets, IDN estimates total new motorcycle registrations at approximately 1.3m units in 2023.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">During 2023, motorcycle registration volumes increased significantly in Italy (320,186 units, +18% year-on-year) and Spain (201,115 units, +13.6%). Germany (213,801 units, +7.2%) and France (206,731 units, +6.9%) also showed an upward trend, whilst volumes remained broadly stable in the UK (108,065 units, -1.2%).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Moped registrations on the other hand continue to decline as sales migrate to the new generation of low-capacity urban mobility light motorcycles, electrics and e-bicycles. In the six European moped markets monitored by ACEM (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain - Europe's largest moped markets and also worth around 80% of the total for the EU + UK block), registrations were -24.5% compared to 2022 (at 193,145 units compared to 255,909 for the prior year).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The reduction was the largest in percentage terms in the Netherlands - where sales were down by -45.1% (34,027 units), with Germany down by -40.5% (17,627 units).

But even so, it was a surprise to see a real prototype of the bike take to the stage during the company's Group Vision 2030 Progress Report Meeting.</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrla5xLUlTEbilDym45JuIIAaWq1u_YVGny-JNuCERFYaJC5gy1HCsRifCK_Gb0NtnAXwsExfBSeMSCXp3CKr1n6S7s4XU4U7bC0mwTYXA7MZanD_yuf5EpqJH2xS_JYRI4G7xBSKpYfA-fepZNwpDWgGZj8nf436Q4VY3hINmeDJ65fecu6KU6s1yXc/s600/Kawasaki%20hydrogen%20H2%202.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUrla5xLUlTEbilDym45JuIIAaWq1u_YVGny-JNuCERFYaJC5gy1HCsRifCK_Gb0NtnAXwsExfBSeMSCXp3CKr1n6S7s4XU4U7bC0mwTYXA7MZanD_yuf5EpqJH2xS_JYRI4G7xBSKpYfA-fepZNwpDWgGZj8nf436Q4VY3hINmeDJ65fecu6KU6s1yXc/s16000/Kawasaki%20hydrogen%20H2%202.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The debate over hydrogen's future as a fuel - whether for fuel cells that use it to generate electricity or in more conventional combustion engines - is a hotly debated topic at the moment. Some car makers, most notably Toyota, is throwing its weight behind hydrogen, and Kawasaki, while at the forefront of Japanese companies when it comes to electric and hybrid motorcycles, is also a vocal proponent of hydrogen. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it's highly flammable and when burnt it combines with oxygen to form water. But there are issues. Most of Earth's hydrogen is already tied up in water and extracting it is an energy-intensive process, requiring a lot of electricity. Once extracted, hydrogen's tiny molecules and lack of density make it hard to store and transport. Kawasaki's involvement with hydrogen goes well beyond the motorcycle arm of the business, though, with the company also involved in refining low-quality 'brown' coal into hydrogen, and in 2020, Kawasaki's shipbuilding division launched the Suiso Frontier - the world's first liquified hydrogen carrier ship, able to carry hydrogen in a cryogenically cooled state at -253 degrees C, making it 800 times as dense as in its normal gaseous state.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Kawasaki's prototype hydrogen bike uses a specially developed version of the supercharged four from the H2 range, modified to add direct fuel injection so the hydrogen can be added to the combustion chamber after the intake valves have closed. That is essential, as is supercharging, to create an engine with power on a par with conventional petrol engines. The other big problem with hydrogen is clear to see from Kawasaki's prototype - it's the volume of space that the gas takes up. While it's more energy-dense than petrol in terms of weight, hydrogen is far less energy-dense in terms of volume, so even when it's compressed to around 700 bar (10,000 psi) you need a large tank to get much range. Those panniers on Kawasaki's prototype aren't for luggage: they're packed with swappable hydrogen canisters. Swappable canisters are one option when it comes to refuelling because, of course, hydrogen can't just be poured into a tank - it needs high pressures and low temperatures, so swapping pre-filled canisters is a safer alternative to refuelling a built-in tank.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGW-Hq7_eS6-lLzPYntf5m5DRU2OL1MEEg7GjIT90P2L7Ma0sMg702mgKwOOtfqcqu2x07LYTbzaFY00n5eKM9JOnPQQhhey-2xiVAZNSnsNFAk6pgHS2qt_ye9wogs870liopoJkAzpI5vV5YxBjugM8lWE-VS5Fp9fKLYf_qQDmpN6l749S7Me9WSX0/s613/Kawasaki%20hydrogen%20engine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGW-Hq7_eS6-lLzPYntf5m5DRU2OL1MEEg7GjIT90P2L7Ma0sMg702mgKwOOtfqcqu2x07LYTbzaFY00n5eKM9JOnPQQhhey-2xiVAZNSnsNFAk6pgHS2qt_ye9wogs870liopoJkAzpI5vV5YxBjugM8lWE-VS5Fp9fKLYf_qQDmpN6l749S7Me9WSX0/s16000/Kawasaki%20hydrogen%20engine.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The hydrogen prototype is still clearly a long way from being a production machine - there isn't the infrastructure to support such a bike even if it was available for sale - but in the context of the recent EU 2035 law changes, it's a technology demonstrator that shows how motorcycles might evolve in the future. Especially if hydrogen gets a foothold in the car market and batteries can't be made compact and light enough to create a high-powered, long-range motorcycle that can replace today's petrol machines.</span></p>DealerWorldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17054584603356806486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294182850027561437.post-35242141519469086182024-03-14T10:05:00.006+00:002024-03-14T10:05:45.184+00:00D.I.D Chain<p><span style="color: red; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b>D.I.D high viscosity chain lubricant and cleaner</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Some brand extensions have extreme good sense stamped all over them - one such are these 300 ml chain lubricant and cleaner from D.I.D.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qYkwTozxLNkkpPpHekpHNsRNqN0YbL5ELRzGxuD-e8MnjH9vBtGJ4jx-wpZLhcHW7DHh6YSfW2OwR9ZY8_EFW7P8XVxtXtTGmKPIb3WSMoq6tup_fB1VddWaulaHKN7BnftxAW3vLgR8W1TPOED6vh5k_3I6HMEn6pFLgFLtPwNJD4uz6CwPn9w3-rw/s600/DID_chain_cleaner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9qYkwTozxLNkkpPpHekpHNsRNqN0YbL5ELRzGxuD-e8MnjH9vBtGJ4jx-wpZLhcHW7DHh6YSfW2OwR9ZY8_EFW7P8XVxtXtTGmKPIb3WSMoq6tup_fB1VddWaulaHKN7BnftxAW3vLgR8W1TPOED6vh5k_3I6HMEn6pFLgFLtPwNJD4uz6CwPn9w3-rw/s320/DID_chain_cleaner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The chain lubricant is described as "extremely adhesive and protective, the covering it gives guarantees excellent lubrication and chain protection.

As its name suggests, this airbag goes straight to the essentials, covering vital areas: thorax, abdomen, back and neck. It is recommended for use on the road, in view of the risk of collisions with road obstacles or other vehicles, but it also offers protection benefits for occasional sports use." </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It is also suitable for intensive motocross riding. Directly inspired by the brand’s original flagship ‘Origin’ module, it will cover up to five inflations before a maintenance intervention (compared with three on the old module).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The Performance airbag is directly derived from sports bike competition and has coverage adapted to those intensive sports practices - where side falls are frequent, but where road obstacles and other vehicles are less involved. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Unlike the Essential module, the abdomen is not covered during inflation, instead protecting the shoulders and ribs, in addition to the neck, thorax and back. This module is recommended for track and off-road use. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">It will cover five to eight inflations depending on the product chosen, before a maintenance intervention is required.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The airbag used has also been upgraded to increase the number of times it can be inflated - to cope with more intensive use. All In&motion airbags are now designed with OPW (One Piece Woven) fabric airbag pockets - more flexible in comparison to the former PU component. This new component will enable the number of inflations to be increased from three to eight. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://www.inemotion.com">www.inemotion.com</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>DealerWorldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17054584603356806486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294182850027561437.post-7782695912797946062024-03-14T10:05:00.004+00:002024-03-14T10:05:27.976+00:00LeoVince<p><span style="color: red; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b>LV Race </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The LeoVince LV Race has been designed to "reduce the overall weight of the bike without altering the original balance designed by the manufacturer.

However, the name has since returned on a range of e-bikes designed by Alessandro Tartarini's White Design and Engineering in Italy. Tartarini was the man behind the radical Italjet Dragster scooter in the 1990s, and a decade ago designed a range of motorcycles and e-bikes that were originally intended to wear the Caterham name, one that is best known for its long-running line of lightweight British sportscars. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Those machines didn't reach production, but the same e-bike designs are now being offered under the Moto Parilla name, sporting Tartarini's distinctive chassis design with a fat central chassis tube that's pierced by two large, transverse holes. Tartarini's company is also behind the new electric motorcycle design seen here, which shares the same styling cue, but is clearly a step above the e-bikes that Parilla currently sells. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The distinctive design features a battery pack that's slung beneath the distinctive upper frame, while the motor is mounted inside the rear wheel hub. Hub-motor designs are usually limited to relatively low performance electric bikes - it's a compact, lightweight and low-cost layout, but having the motor's weight inside the rear wheel isn't ideal when it comes to higher speeds and handling.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">There's no word yet on whether these drawings will become a production machine, but since battery-powered e-bicycles have all but replaced conventional mopeds in the powered two-wheeler market, it makes sense for their manufacturers to look towards larger, faster motorcycles in order to hold onto their customers.</span></p><div><br /></div>DealerWorldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17054584603356806486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294182850027561437.post-39540504475410889412024-03-07T10:24:00.005+00:002024-03-07T10:24:25.410+00:00CFMoto<p><span style="color: red; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b>CFMoto plans 450CL-C Bobber, 250CL-C Cruiser and electrics</b></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> By Ben Purvis</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Last year's EICMA saw the unveiling of CFMoto's CL-C Low Ride concept bike - a slammed bobber with girder forks based on the company's new 450CL-C cruiser - and now a production version of that machine has emerged in Chinese approval filings.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Unsurprisingly, the showroom version tones down the style of the concept. The girder forks are gone, replaced by the standard upside-down telescopics of the normal 450CL-C, and the tyres aren't as fat as those on the show bike. Despite those downgrades, and the fact that it shares the same engine, frame and fuel tank as the base 450CL-C, the new bobber manages to look substantially different.</span></p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHvoFSuMURGIlkPn93gKjCg_1ECs8lENKA0u-Tm_l1j-DijUSyn6nREAgXMSygkJnLP9pkRmkFeHU52ZG0BhcwOcbQyf0IJydk4UJyOUPe9VUKl9HMHRJWVBLRjx0cYLvzOufo_F5VkZO5RyEXx4PdzCwbl59B1OM3mA0hm9XpCk2G0q8Om5oCWN7fWk/s600/CFMoto%20450%20CL-C%20bobber.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="423" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIHvoFSuMURGIlkPn93gKjCg_1ECs8lENKA0u-Tm_l1j-DijUSyn6nREAgXMSygkJnLP9pkRmkFeHU52ZG0BhcwOcbQyf0IJydk4UJyOUPe9VUKl9HMHRJWVBLRjx0cYLvzOufo_F5VkZO5RyEXx4PdzCwbl59B1OM3mA0hm9XpCk2G0q8Om5oCWN7fWk/s16000/CFMoto%20450%20CL-C%20bobber.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><i>CL-C Bobber</i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The changes are focused on the rear end. There's a single seat, recalling bikes from the 1940s or earlier thanks to its clear, saddle-shaped style. It hovers above a rear fender that's close to the back tyre, almost disappearing from view and giving the back end a lightweight look. In a clever move, CFMoto supports that rear hugger with a diagonal, tubular bracket that extends forward from the rear swingarm to the upper front of the fender, giving the illusion of a hardtail bike's frame while actually using exactly the same monoshock rear end as the standard 450CL-C. The licence plate and rear lights hang on a swingarm-mounted bracket at the back.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Mechanically, the bike is powered by the same 449 cc parallel twin used in the normal 450CL-C, putting out 30 kW (40 hp), and rides on a 1,485 mm wheelbase. The more stripped-back style genuinely saves weight too, cutting 4 kg from the CL-C's mass and bringing it to 177 kg including fuel.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Another CFMoto type-approval, filed in China, shows a smaller cruiser heading to market soon in the form of the 250CL-C. This one has a new, twin-shock frame with a shorter 1,470 mm wheelbase and lower 165 kg wet weight. It's powered be the 249 cc single-cylinder engine that's already used in the 250CL-X and 250NK (and offered in a larger 292 cc form in the 300NK and 300CL-X in many markets), with 18.5 kW (25 hp). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBEsGzdBrPCjpWvSuiDsG4oDZ57bsa1zJsUXR_8oXEZEW_vwzByttHfkM9KY7jv5JwX7xXfe3zE1zQqxL8qrbwZFmYHqWHCYVORpulf8MkApBKp4trC7IUJgNi8pqk8KxaDOQAZ8dqA79RG3Bxb3uPo_7SJoHhF3ecoRRM8pzdlbrz6XXuAtyEAycNno4/s600/CFMoto%20250%20CL-C.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="408" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBEsGzdBrPCjpWvSuiDsG4oDZ57bsa1zJsUXR_8oXEZEW_vwzByttHfkM9KY7jv5JwX7xXfe3zE1zQqxL8qrbwZFmYHqWHCYVORpulf8MkApBKp4trC7IUJgNi8pqk8KxaDOQAZ8dqA79RG3Bxb3uPo_7SJoHhF3ecoRRM8pzdlbrz6XXuAtyEAycNno4/s16000/CFMoto%20250%20CL-C.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><i>CL-C Cruiser</i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">In addition to working on both advanced ICE models, CFMoto is still pushing ahead with electric bikes, including this battery-powered middleweight sports bike.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">While CFMoto's future ICE sports bike projects include a 675 cc triple, a 500 cc inline four and a 1,000 cc V4 superbike, all intended to sit above its existing 300SR and 450SR machines, the brand has patented this electric model using the 450SR as its base.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Previously, CFMoto's electric bikes have been 'clean-sheet' designs, including the 300GT-E electric sport-tourer that was designed as part of a project for China's police force and security services to use. It also makes the Papio Nova electric minibike and has a dedicated EV sub-brand, Zeeho, for city models and scooters. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">But this new design takes a different approach by utilising the existing chassis from the 450SR sports bike and packing an electric powerplant into the space normally occupied by a 450 cc parallel twin.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The patent explains that the battery unit is in a metal case, bolted to an electric motor behind, and the whole thing can be used as a structural component to replace the combustion engine in the 450SR, which uses its motor to add rigidity to the chassis. By making a drop-in EV powertrain with the same mounting brackets as its 450 cc twin-cylinder engine, CFMoto would be in a position to create a range of electric models easily, quickly and cheaply. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">At the moment, bikes using variants of the same 450 cc V-twin include the 450SR sports bike, 450NK roadster and 450CL-C cruiser. The new electric power unit and batteries would easily slot into any of them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBIxvWAlzuL8qPRZIWQqQbrkZw8JVLyRUnVlJCETJqb99yDUZBHBQMkD5qtP9jSJk8yQ7NBK8j-JPXlLKcYs-aZf0pgASkb7H4NtPl6R0dPL3qb7gG4_xmKlxx3ze3Hn0P22kkHhGw63bkc9fAezgqziSlOh-V-auFm7pQfvam8Vb80Q7XR-Nh9k29-Uc/s636/CFMoto%20electric%20sports%20bike%20(2).jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="453" data-original-width="636" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBIxvWAlzuL8qPRZIWQqQbrkZw8JVLyRUnVlJCETJqb99yDUZBHBQMkD5qtP9jSJk8yQ7NBK8j-JPXlLKcYs-aZf0pgASkb7H4NtPl6R0dPL3qb7gG4_xmKlxx3ze3Hn0P22kkHhGw63bkc9fAezgqziSlOh-V-auFm7pQfvam8Vb80Q7XR-Nh9k29-Uc/s16000/CFMoto%20electric%20sports%20bike%20(2).jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><i>Electric sports bike</i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The downside of this design, when compared to clean-sheet electric bikes, is that the battery pack appears to be much smaller, suggesting range would be limited. That might not be a big hurdle for small-capacity bikes used mainly in cities, and if CFMoto can implement a fast-charging system that can take advantage of the growing network of rapid chargers, refilling a small battery should be a relatively quick job.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">What's clear is that CFMoto is positioning itself to be in a strong position regardless which way the market turns. If legislation forces or technology enables a rapid shift to electric power, or if combustion engines get a reprieve, the next generation of the Chinese company's bikes are likely to be formidable rivals to the motorcycling establishment.</span></p><p><br /></p>DealerWorldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17054584603356806486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294182850027561437.post-74214169086645445892024-03-07T10:24:00.003+00:002024-03-07T10:24:14.825+00:00Benelli<p><span style="color: red; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b>Benelli Leoncino 350 V-twin based on QJMotor SRV 350 cruiser</b></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: red;"> </span></b>By Ben Purvis</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Design registrations filed by Benelli's parent company Qianjiang have revealed a planned V-twin Leoncino 350 model long before it's officially unveiled.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">There's no mistaking the signature fuel tank design on the new bike, with a large circular badge set into a scooped-out section on each side to match the other models in the Benelli Leoncino family, and there's even readable 'Leoncino' script on each side of the machine, using the same font as the current Benelli models. However, the bike underneath these parts is very different to any other Leoncino variant.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyV53H1CEF52zvW799gJW_gomO7tPZBEqXLv0bbWItviGAO1kceAx9rItuz1n9mnnaroizcNwpkLn_YCD_CAYJt0DXSncBuVVqt3JOGJ80gbU0SAfc5BrM5ZqqFyZHwjgDiSnM20-qfDCKZntMnWggLecfQXTvTyn8FUczVpJtvjZIMDSL9HTxGJLWfrw/s600/Benelli%20902%20S.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyV53H1CEF52zvW799gJW_gomO7tPZBEqXLv0bbWItviGAO1kceAx9rItuz1n9mnnaroizcNwpkLn_YCD_CAYJt0DXSncBuVVqt3JOGJ80gbU0SAfc5BrM5ZqqFyZHwjgDiSnM20-qfDCKZntMnWggLecfQXTvTyn8FUczVpJtvjZIMDSL9HTxGJLWfrw/s16000/Benelli%20902%20S.jpg" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">At the moment, Benelli has a range of Leoncino-branded roadsters from 125 cc to 800 cc, all sharing a common set of styling cues. This new model breaks that mould, introducing a more cruiser-like stance and underpinnings, including a V-twin engine, a twin-shock chassis and a stubby-tailed set of bodywork with overtones of muscle-cruisers like the Yamaha V-Max.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The V-twin engine and steel frame appear to be borrowed from the SRV 350 cruiser made by Benelli's sister company QJMotor. The suspension, radiator, forward-mounted foot controls and even the wheels and brakes appear to be straight from the SRV 350, but the Benelli version adopts a less traditional cruiser style and gets a revised version of the 343 cc V-twin engine. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Visible engine changes include new cylinder heads with faux cooling fins and a forward-jutting air intake on the left-hand side.

Taking a cylinder off the later 1131 cc version of that triple resulted in the twin that's still used today in a range of bikes including the Leoncino 800, Leoncino 800 Trail and the 752S - so the advent of a larger-capacity version could have implications for all of those models.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The new Chinese documents show that the 902S has a 904 cc capacity (the '902' name means '900 cc, 2 cylinder' rather than being an exact measure of the bike's engine size). The extra cubes come from the 92 mm bore (from 88 mm), along with stroke that's upped from 62 mm to 68 mm.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">According to the same documents, the power increase that comes from this growth is remarkable. The paperwork says the new engine manages 77 kW (103 bhp), up from 56 kW (75 hp) for the current 754 cc version. Previously, Benelli has also filed documents for a 799 cc version of the engine making 71 kW (95 hp), but that has yet to appear in a production model.</span></p><div><br /></div>DealerWorldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17054584603356806486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294182850027561437.post-57757858288977574052024-03-07T10:24:00.002+00:002024-03-07T10:24:09.276+00:00Bonamici Racing<p><span style="color: red; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b>Bonamici - Kawasaki ZX-4RR</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">In recent editions we have showcased Italian parts specialist Bonamici Racing's components for top-selling models such as the Yamaha MT09 and BMW S 1000 RR.

"The brand will continue to build on its electrified line-up towards its aim of releasing 30 new [automotive] EV models globally by 2030.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">"This commitment to more sustainable operations extends beyond automobiles and is shaping the technology being developed across Honda’s motorcycle and power product divisions - influencing all environmental policies, practices and initiatives at the brand’s facilities across the region.

For 2024, the two 'Pro' models get the damped bars and risers that were previously exclusive to the Explorer versions. Both GT models get repositioned footpegs to increase cornering clearance.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Meanwhile, there's a quiet revival underway in the market for affordable, middleweight sports bikes as a growing number of manufacturers rediscover the all-rounder formula that made machines like Honda's CBR600F so successful in the 1990s. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Triumph is the latest to join that trend, reviving the Daytona name for the new Trident-based Daytona 660. While it would have been simple for Triumph to wrap a fairing around the existing Trident 660 roadster, instead the company has taken a more in-depth approach. Yes, it uses essentially the same steel frame, three-cylinder engine, tank and rear bodywork as the Trident, but there are revisions throughout. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Going up against an increasingly strong group of rivals that includes the likes of Yamaha's R7, Kawasaki's Ninja 650, Honda's CBR650R and Suzuki's new GSX-8R, the Daytona 660 has a unique selling point in the form of its three-cylinder engine and manages a combination of performance and price that its competitors struggle to match.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Where the Trident uses a 60 kW (80 hp) version of Triumph's signature three-cylinder engine, the Daytona 660 packs a 70 kW (94 hp) variant, slotting exactly onto the power limit for bikes that can still be detuned to 35 kW and used with an A2 licence in Europe. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The extra performance comes from a new cylinder head, crankshaft, camshafts, valves and exhaust header, but most importantly from the adoption of three individual throttle bodies instead of the single throttle used on the Trident. All the extra performance comes by moving the peak power higher up the rev range, without any loss in torque at lower rpm, with the maximum power arriving at 11,250 rpm instead of the Trident's 10,250 rpm. </span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xxQhW9GHF96YPb9cdEyuVTPhzvTwHx88j0Z_tLeO4N2-MVaDEjKHn57hyvIAV1DHUsAZobZHmco2EueFXdSi95fURYTmeP4RpSZck-tQ_2zX5xZdMylANPx0jmSqSGCw5vbDNxmHPYXXbLYb4P1Vgpw2uAxjNeDPgcDmBRpq-JV3G6arxjKSCbN9xZ4/s600/Daytona-660_MY24_Carnival-Red_AngleRHS.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6xxQhW9GHF96YPb9cdEyuVTPhzvTwHx88j0Z_tLeO4N2-MVaDEjKHn57hyvIAV1DHUsAZobZHmco2EueFXdSi95fURYTmeP4RpSZck-tQ_2zX5xZdMylANPx0jmSqSGCw5vbDNxmHPYXXbLYb4P1Vgpw2uAxjNeDPgcDmBRpq-JV3G6arxjKSCbN9xZ4/s16000/Daytona-660_MY24_Carnival-Red_AngleRHS.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><i>Daytona 660</i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Torque is increased by 9%, too, with a peak of 69 Nm at 8,250 rpm, and there are three riding modes: sport, road and rain. The changes to the chassis include a steeper steering head angle, changing the fork rake from 24.6 degrees to 23.8 degrees, while the offset is increased and the wheelbase lengthened a fraction to 1,425.6 mm. Revised final drive gearing takes advantage of the engine's wider rev range.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally, it has been 40 years since building magnate John Bloor took the reins at Triumph - buying the company out of receivership and embarking on the slow journey back to prominence as a global motorcycle manufacturer - but this year's new TF 250-X marks one of the biggest steps since then as Triumph dives headlong into the off-road market.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The new motocross bike doesn't come as a surprise. Triumph has been open about its development since 2021 and already plans to add a larger 450 cc model next year alongside a pair of enduro models and has even adopted some big names including Ricky Carmichael and Ivan Cerventes into the project to make sure it's heading in the right direction. A works entry in the 2024 FIM Motocross World Championship has been set up with former Kawasaki team boss Thierry Chizat-Suzzoni at the helm and Monster Energy sponsorship, while a second works squad will compete in the AMA SuperMotocross World Championship.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For 2024, all those efforts will be focused on the new TF 250-X, the first dedicated Triumph motocross bike of the modern era, and customers can buy the same machine right now from a growing network of dedicated Triumph Motocross and Enduro Centres across Europe, the USA and Australia, with the target of 300 such outlets due to open by the end of this year.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM-Fw8yA3OkTsDEYkQPvLHMb-vcDwKe7bNls6521fzIlhWpC0RnM9aqSnPQ3SA_hyKwOHOVthbBDXNt_YjiJR6IHXJ9Bmwm5ArXrCd_82wmW_s74FFSPELua0A4iD_cQibc5c7AugwIdqHv3YJFhb3aAWDmLLMbsRVJwjCx-CGL-8YUm0rdrGR912aXaw/s600/TF250X_MY24_JetBlack_AngleRHS.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="428" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM-Fw8yA3OkTsDEYkQPvLHMb-vcDwKe7bNls6521fzIlhWpC0RnM9aqSnPQ3SA_hyKwOHOVthbBDXNt_YjiJR6IHXJ9Bmwm5ArXrCd_82wmW_s74FFSPELua0A4iD_cQibc5c7AugwIdqHv3YJFhb3aAWDmLLMbsRVJwjCx-CGL-8YUm0rdrGR912aXaw/s16000/TF250X_MY24_JetBlack_AngleRHS.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: arial; text-align: left;"><i>TF 250-X</i></b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The TF 250-X itself packs a DOHC single-cylinder, 250 cc engine that features a 78 mm bore and 52.3 mm stroke, numbers that are fairly consistent with the measurements used by rival machines. A high, 14.4:1 compression ratio is more extreme than most, though, and the engine is packed with exotic components and materials including titanium valves and a forged aluminium piston. Helped by Dell'Orto fuel injection, the bike is claimed to have the highest power-to-weight ratio in its class, although Triumph hasn't announced the exact power figure.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Weight is kept to an impressive 104 kg (wet) thanks to an aluminium spine frame, which is fitted with KYB suspension at either end - 48 mm forks at the front, a piggyback shock at the rear - with full adjustability including separate high- and low-speed compression damping at the back. Brembo supplies the calipers, gripping Galfer discs, while the wheels use Dirtstar rims and machined aluminium hubs. As with the company's street bikes, Triumph appears to be targeting a high standard specification, but there are still options to improve the TF 250-X. You can add a titanium Akrapovic exhaust, improving throttle response and cutting weight further, and a variety of race-oriented add-ons including the MX Tuner Pro, a launch control system and an XTrig holeshot device.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The bike managed podium positions at its first competitive event, the opening round of the Spanish Motocross Championship, where Mikkel Haarup took two second place finishes and teammate Camden McLellan manged a third and a fourth.</span></p>DealerWorldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17054584603356806486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294182850027561437.post-40971394915588975552024-02-29T10:16:00.002+00:002024-02-29T10:16:20.941+00:00Oxford Products<p><span style="color: red; font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b>'Atlas' straps</b></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The durable and versatile 'Atlas' adjustable self-tensioning straps by distributor and brand owner Oxford Products are designed to be stronger and much safer than a bungee.</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FWMcgk09dqzVshoWjo4pqEYyMajkKt5qaTcTa4GOBAvxHjH81zDF1HeKvdsutCtBd-m5pwguloT7ZvMEnUrdUphzmXwzilHZCE2DN_gRjOb0HZTi3BdyH2f1OEQ7OJoA-mM-ED2-FngXe2mNYm_eUxr2u8jbIdWU-BaDj4EqyJ3NxtWhOIfXoK3F7tE/s600/ox321_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FWMcgk09dqzVshoWjo4pqEYyMajkKt5qaTcTa4GOBAvxHjH81zDF1HeKvdsutCtBd-m5pwguloT7ZvMEnUrdUphzmXwzilHZCE2DN_gRjOb0HZTi3BdyH2f1OEQ7OJoA-mM-ED2-FngXe2mNYm_eUxr2u8jbIdWU-BaDj4EqyJ3NxtWhOIfXoK3F7tE/s16000/ox321_4.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Their extra strong, flat webbed design is easy to adjust to the desired length and the quick release B-clip makes them simple to detach.
