Modeled closely after the factory TT2, the production version also featured a 597cc engine using special two-ring Borgo pistons (weighing only 408 grams). via motorcyclespecs

Triumph TT600

2009-11-10T03:38:00.000-08:00

Triumph TT600

The TT600 was Triumph's first direct assault on a mainstream sector of the motorcycle market. Aimed at providing Triumph with a mass-market middleweight sportsbike, the TT600 had a tough challenge ahead - the 600cc sportsbike class is the most closely contested, and the existing Japanese contenders were intensely well-developed machines.

Triumph followed conventional motorcycle engineering practice with the TT600. A 16-valve, liquid-cooled inline-four engine in an aluminium twin-spar frame is a specification shared with every other bike in this class, although the Sagem fuel-injection was new to the class, and the TT's styling was also unconventional. via motorcyclespecs

KTM 990 Super Duke

2009-10-06T05:29:00.000-07:00

KTM, the Austrian bike manufacturer best known for its fabulous off-road title winning machines, has sets its sights on becoming Europe’s largest motorcycle manufacturer. But, to do so it needs a comprehensive range of machines to compliment its excellent off-road competition machines.

The Super Duke arrives in Europe just a year after KTM launched its first twin-cylinder motorcycle in the shape of the 950 Adventure. KTM has upped the capacity of the Adventure’s 942cc LC8 engine to form the heart of the 990 Super Duke. New fuel injection and engine management systems are just part of it.

contains the result of eight years of ceaseless technological development poured forth into the most beautiful form ever reproduced on a motorcycle. The subdued sporty tone of its new livery conceals an updated engine equipped with the Weber Marelli 5SM engine management system that turns the extraordinary energy developed by the Italian 4-cylinder engine into a powerful and progressive driving force.

Buell 1125CR

2009-10-05T15:43:00.001-07:00

The overall 2009 Buell line-up consists of six models in three distinct lines: street, adventure and sportbike. Models vary by engine configuration and design intent but continue the melting pot culture that has grown to exemplify the “American” ideal.

Buell intended the day to be a focused moment on braking, cornering and acceleration as well as how the mapping updates performed on the Helicon engine.

The technical 1.67 mile track is more like the streets of willow than the big one over here in California –perfect for the steep-rake XB-like 1125CR. It doesn’t take anyone long to notice the CR hasn’t much in the way of air flow management, favoring a minimal windscreen similar to the XB model line. Without the big bubble to push away the high-speed atmosphere, head shakes are eminent and achievable above the tonnage mark indicated on the digital speedo. The “quiet zone” as Buell calls the space behind the fairing of the 1125R is now gone, leaving you more exposed to the elements. This is where fashion wins over function – your inner hooligan can’t hide from the aero forces on the CR. It’s built for fun, not racing. Big speed however doesn’t completely ruin the fun.

Suzuki GSX-R1000

2009-10-03T04:20:00.000-07:00

Suzuki's GSX-R1000 has seen incremental improvements over the years, but the 2009 model is the first all-new iteration of the flagship superbike since 2001. Countless superbike racing victories later, and the legendary Gixxer 1000 faces more pressure than ever for excellence.

Suzuki engineers altered virtually every aspect of the GSX-R1000 for 2009 in order to build a better bike. A more compact twin spar frame shortens the wheelbase for more maneuverability, while a longer aluminum alloy swingarm is arched to accommodate new twin titanium exhaust cans. New radially mounted mono-block front brakes shave unsprung weight, as do new three-spoke cast aluminum wheels. New, race-inspired BPF (Big Piston Front-forks) by Showa feature rebound and compression valving adjustment screws on the fork caps.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14

2009-10-02T15:47:00.000-07:00

The 2009 Kawasaki Ninja ZX 14 has not rested on its laurels. The winning traits – massive torque, effortless power, agile handling and comfortable ergonomics – of the 1352cc Ninja king have landed it a sizeable collection of open class sportbike victories. Despite ever-tightening noise and emissions regulations; the ZX-14 has continued to set the pace of sportbike excellence ever since its domineering debut in March of 2006.

No doubt about it, the ZX-14 is a testament to effective evolution. Its engine and exhaust system permit it to comply with strict Euro-III emissions and tightening noise regulations.

Aprilia RXV 5.5

2009-10-01T08:21:00.000-07:00

This lightweight bike's knobby tires and floaty suspension are difficult to manage on the road, but a dream in the dirt. It takes serious discipline not to power slide the rear end in the dirt at low speeds, but when you've gathered enough velocity and need that extra bit of power to get you up a hill or out of a rut, the RXV always delivers. Equally unflappable is the suspension, which offers enough cushion for large surface irregularities and jumps. Ergonomics-wise, the RXV 5.5 is as intensely focused as its powerful engine; the narrow seat is a stratospheric 39.2 inches tall, and the rider's forward position puts the onus on precision, as the rear brake and the 5-speed shifter is a foot's twitch away.

Overall, the Aprilia RXV 5.5 is a tremendously capable offroad bike, and no doubt a handful for most riders.

Aprlia Tuono 1000 R Factory

2009-08-29T19:23:00.000-07:00

Now the Tuono 1000 R Factory has picked up where the victorious Tuono Racing left off, with even better technical characteristics and performance.

With the arrival of the new Factory version, the most racing naked and the meanest on the road clearly demonstrates its racing spirit. The new Tuono 1000 R Factory is a truly professional machine for all those riders who demand the state of the art in technology and the absolute maximum in performance. As with the RSV 1000 R Factory, from which it has been derived, the Tuono 1000 R Factory is designed and built for “total ridability”, a concept that has always characterised high performance Aprilia motorcycles.

The Tuono 1000 R Factory sets new standards for performance nakeds. Now, the Tuono 1000 R Factory has raised the bar even higher, establishing the perfect synthesis between quality, technology, and finish.

The performance of the Tuono 1000 R Factory has been boosted to record levels by adopting the same latest generation engine that powers the RSV 1000 R Factory. Now developing 102 kW (139 HP) at the crank and a maximum torque of nearly 11 kgm at only 8,500 rpm, the Aprilia Tuono R Factory is the uncontested leader of all naked twins.
