In today's world we are quite accustomed to the surrounding things, and often do not notice the elements borrowed from nature. In the twentieth century, people have even invented a special direction to the engineering art, nature-oriented copy of inventions for the purposes of art. Commonly used by man, it is almost imperceptible, while in the field of view do not get as bright borrowing as Yamaha FZ6-N Fazer . Subconsciously, you know, this could create just the nature. Stringent environmental limits Euro 2, which came into force in the summer of 2003, made all the world's motor manufacturers to reconsider their lineups. There was an exception and a universal 600 cc bestsseler concern Yamaha , last year, replaced by a radically new model. It happens that some things compare with the images seen on screen.

    Motorcycles , as you know, even in my price range very much. The criteria for selection were, first of all: price, engine size and weight - at my weight of 55 kg to acquire something heavy, mean automatic transfer of the vehicle in real estate, and the lack of easily damaged plastic. The abundance of fairings for sports motorcycles have long caused me fits of inexplicable fear, formed a wild associative close - inclined to bite lids fit the tank, his head under the cowl, the constant emphasis lying on the handlebars, bald tires, a mad inclination to turn ... No, I'm not an athlete. Choppers have been rejected because of their unsuitability to the original motion in cluttered traffic of the city. The choice fell on the "Street". Stripped, elegant, inexpensive, small, crafty and evil - that can be described as acquired my Suzuki Bandit 250 1991 year of birth. We met quickly: skim the surface of the motorcycle inspected, I provernuli key in the ignition and gently ...

Life motorcycle manufacturers are not very easy. Judge for yourself: not only to develop a technically perfect bike, which has high consumer qualities, we must also be able to convince customers that it really is what you need. Therefore, since the advent of the first production motorcycle manufacturers and dealers began to think about how to present products in a favorable light. The oldest and time-tested method - the factory teams participate in competitions on the machines, though the name similar to the serial counterparts. The principle of ''win Sunday, sell on Monday'' works almost flawlessly, but my problem - not all motorcycle enthusiasts blood boils at the word ''race''. It turns out that there are those who prefer a leisurely defile insane speed. How can that be with them? Rescue ray lit thanks to the guru of the world cinema, which for them to create the desired image, seated behind the wheel of the main characters of the motorcycle. Now t...

 What is a legend in the world of motors? It's a hundred or so years of history, the role of the founder - a guy with a goatee and top hat (with a cylinder - in terms of a hat), winning numerous races and mountain runs like Paris-New York, working on the MIC during World War II and the slow death in the postwar years, followed by injections of the revival of the rich plebeians like Volkswagen, Proton and Petronas, are in dire need of high-profile name to maintain his image. Is this the only way for great brands? What about the legend that began in a small garage, with poor production bike mechanic after the war? Which then grew into a powerful company, the second European manufacturer of motorcycles, shining like a diamond in the crown of world producers a two-wheeled vehicles? You say, can not be! Aprilia says - you can! So, it all started in the town of Noale, which is 20 kilometers from Venice, in a small shop owned by Alberto badges. The enterprising Italian quickly reali...

MAntOvani Volante - The Flying mantuets. It's about Tazio Nuvolari, which, as in any present Italians, combining a truly epic courage, peace more than a passion for technology and the ability to walk a fine line between life and death on the road to victory.   May 16, 1926 in pitch mist hung over the German Zolitude borough, it was difficult to discern the contours of your own car, not to mention the contours of the road. Hazardous cabinets and telephone poles like yourself popped toward racing motorcycles . My nerves could not stand, one after the other riders refused to fight.  But ''Blue Arrow'' (so-called BIANCHI) Italian driver Tazio Nuvolari continued competition. A few laps to go bold mantuanets led the race, but treacherously slippery cobblestone section of road did the dirty deed. The car jerked, led, and a steel horse with his rider raced towards inevitable destruction. Read in German newspapers reported that the Nuvolari hardly live through the n...

Jet ski Yamaha GP 1300R immediately likable extraordinary friendly design. The handrail is convenient to fix the passenger tail - wide rear deck, with which it is easy to take your jet ski riders . However, considering the size and capacity of 165 horsepower engine capacity of 1296 cm3, comes the understanding that before you are not a dolphin, but a real killer whale. Her heart - is a three-cylinder two-stroke engine wears an electronic fuel injection, and the issue is cardinality valve, EXUP system similar to road bikes of the company. All this high tech transfers engine torque with the shaft on the impeller - a rotor enclosed in an annular channel, absorbing water and releasing it through the jet nozzle. Intake manifold is designed so that water does not leak into the engine under any circumstances. Water entering a particularly active during taxiing into the engine compartment, immediately pumped overboard pumps.

Strolling through the streets, happy to note that the two-is becoming more and more, brisk 50 cc, rocket sportbike , leisurely tourer. However, machines that can cause real interest is not so much. Yamaha Majesty YP400 - just one of the few. This is a real luxury class of scooters . It resembles an airliner: quiet, smooth lines and at the same time, a complete willingness to immediately take you to your destination inaccessible to other vehicles speed and comfort. Management scooter a pleasure. Distressed mirrors: they provide a good overview and does not vibrate when driving, but the designers, according to one slave named reasons, placed them on the handlebars, so turning the steering wheel the driver loses all sense of what is happening behind.

You are provided with, have respect in society, you have much to do business in the city center. What is the most comfortable vehicle, with no problems, but everything else is also a prestigious and mobile? Luxury Scooter Yamaha Majesty 400 - exactly what you need!  The first thing that comes to mind is that before you a small pleasure yacht, very expensive and prestigious. I say at once, upon further acquaintance initial impression only strengthened. New season of 2004 - Yamaha Majesty 400 scooter is fully developed until the engine from scratch. The impressive hull lines c huge frontal fairing and at least a large windshield, luggage many possible niches and glove compartments, with a high feed baggy sofa. Crowned it all - the vast size of spoiler, a scattering of lights LED stop lamp socket and a solid high-caliber silencer. That's just the front part of the scooter is painfully average, not that snake eyes Burgman or wasp Nexus.

One of the most popular and high-quality motorcycles around the world are constantly developing. The creators of the motorcycle was applied much effort to improve it. - 1986 Yamaha FZR 400 - the first motorcycle with an index of FZR (frame Deltabox, Exup not yet established) - 1988 Yamaha FZR 400 R - Exup, inertia supercharging system is reinforced with a pendulum, weight: 165 kg Power: 59 hp - 1990 Yamaha FZR 400 RR - The new frame, new carburetors, reduced basis, reduced to a mass of 160 kg., The rear wheel diameter of 17 (instead of 18th), Power: 59 hp - 1993 Yamaha FZR 400 RR SP - Single model, retuned power system, installed a fully adjustable

At the beginning of the season in 2003 I became the owner of the model FZR 400 RR 1990, destined for the Japanese market. Definitely wanted sportbike - needed a bike to take the soul at the weekend. I bought what was at that time. I got the bike after a full bulkhead, so, despite his age, was in good condition. It only remained to paint it, put the plastic, and the finish of detail. Previous owner replaced the clutch, spark plugs, front wheel bearings, brake pads, bearings, steering column, rear tires, driven star, the lower cross arm, straight-through muffler set-reinforced brake hoses (front and rear), held ultrasonic cleaning carburetors. The benefits of such innovations are obvious: price, weight, and as it turned out - security.

After passing just a few kilometers on both versions of the bike , I immediately give preference to the motorcycle with a fairing. With all the identity of the design, he has a better windscreen, which means that, even moving around the city, you will feel more comfortable. If you go to the suburban route, the difference will be even more striking. At speeds above 120 km / h on a naked bike start to look for, what to hide and in the end you find nothing, but at the same number of people traveling on the SVF and the 600S, as they say, good feeling. As for ride quality, everything is in honda: clear and soft. Faultless operation suspensions were pleased with not only a good ride, but a stable job in the corners, clearly tracking the trajectory given by you, the bike is predictable in all modes.

The first attempt to ride the bike a powerful handsome for many ends in failure. If you release the clutch smoothly, and then loosen the throttle, the bike will accelerate dramatically, and the unfortunate rider did not remain as to seize arms in the wheel. Naturally, the gas already instinctively and everything a beginner will not be here to catch ... it's time to man to calm down, relax your hands, throw gas. But only the bike does not have. He does not know that there are new, and can not know, do not mind the bike, there is only nature. Turnovers are soaring, fun blowing into a gallop the whole herd of horses. Motorcycle soon come up on the rear wheel turns and the! Everything went up 2-3 seconds.     But all the above may or may not happen if you try yourself to pop this season Honda CBF 600 ABS.   When in the hands of testers moto got two brand-new versions of the model CBF 600 ABS, found that they formally differ only by the presence or absence of the...

-How come? -160 Weakly, my car - 180, and easily ... -So this is my first gear 160! (Conversation at a traffic light) And it does not sound crazy, but it's true! I'll tell you: the new sportbike from Yamaha and Kawasaki really show the strongest advance in the development of technologies for supersport motorcycles . Not so long ago (only in 1998) Yamaha showed the world his R1, which had a record of such power available, it seemed, there's nowhere more powerful. So he remained a leading extreme sports until 2001, until a Suzuki GSX-R 1000. About Kawasaki ZX-9 in those years could not remember: against R1, it was sports-tourist, not sportbike. Kawasaki candidly delayed the creation of its new flagship of the sport, but now the bike is released, which could be the answer to competitors.

In 1952. In the hall of the Bekingem palace crowded. Thousands of lights reflected in the myriad facets of crystal chandeliers, and millions of colorful reflections on serious slip and at the same time happy party guests. Color of the British nation was about ceremony Order of the British Empire. Many gathered for a long time to know each other and only one young gentleman, humbly situated at the far end of the hall, very few people know. Good looks, impeccable tuxedo, his hair combed smooth, confident look and smile - no sign of emotion. Who is this arrogant young man? Another moment, and the ceremony began. Under the storm of applause, the most worthy of the worthy receiving the highest state award. But then it came to a mysterious young man. ''For the contribution to the development of domestic racing awarded Jeffrey Duke!''

Device for relieving stress. Life, hold on ... showering burning dump, caressed in the bus, the dog pulled the boss to hang himself ...? It seems like life. Relieve stress? But how? In each nation the recipe: the Japanese, because of the mad rhythm of life and just did an unnatural diligence, unbeknown to his colleagues stuffed bash bosses, Germans, Czechs and Austrians - are filled with beer. But we're not Japanese! Alcoholism, multiplied by the hysteria - the lot of wimps, never smelled the exhaust-stroke engine. It has been decided - it's time to take your shoes off the floor and back on a soft couch watching ATV ... going to the pampas, to sand, water ... in short, out of town!

Like many young people tender age of twenty, I was crazy about motorcycles . In the imagination continually arose the image of the valiant knight clad in armor, bearing the distinguished RSV Mille (or CBR 600 for emergencies), but the assessment of financial capacity sobered, as if a bucket of ice water on his head. However, to ride on two wheels did not want to lower, even more, so come to a volitional decision to buy a scooter. And do not anyhow what, and sports, that flew like a bullet, and did not suffer too much in terms of design. Floating on the Internet, I almost choked - information the sea, sensible - at least. In the end, though narrowed the circle of search to two or three models. Stock silver coins are not considered at all - not that caliber.

Like adherents of the ancient art of ninja techniques honed by centuries of sabotage, infiltration and secret murders, Kawasaki engineers to improve in 1985 its main weapon - a series of tales Ninja. Decades of experience and knowledge in metallurgy, aerodynamics and electronics helped to create the most perfect soldier ever to the wheel on the road. Kawasaki ZX6-R/ZX6-RR - worthy heirs of an ancient clan of Ninja. External changes to the 2005 model is not so apparent: design concept remains the same, diminished aggression, the lines become smoother, but it is purely subjective, the appearance has become more dynamic. The front fairing is now clearly shows kinship with ZX10-R. An exhaust system, the latest fashions, located just below the shank.

Sooner or later, all that is stranded on two wheels, comes to the image of a bike. Uncompromising love bright and distinctive machine, whether it's slow, but it chopper or fast, but functions sportbike . Those who like the combination of different qualities in a bike, even if a compromise, does not tend to be less bright, but still more comfortable vehicles. For example, such as the heroes of our test: Yamaha FJR and Honda Pan European 2003 model year. Both bikes are beautiful, but ... each in its own way. The first thing that caught my eye when the two became close moto , was an impressive difference in their architecture.

In 1968, Honda , despite the huge number of victories in motorcycle racing, announced that it is no longer interested in participating in the Grand Prix. This news has created quite a stir, but in the end, the world's big prizes happened that the team left the sport at the height of success. Of particular interest for this event was the fact that the factory racer Honda, Mike Helvud received from the Japanese salary of 50,000 pounds for the entire upcoming season only for the fact that he will not accept proposals of others. What are the Japanese so afraid? Talent! Mike's fantastic talent, nicknamed '' Motorcycle '' (Mike the Bike). It was necessary to have passed at least some time before Helvud will bring a new team win, otherwise all will be considered a triumph of Honda only his merit. Two-stroke, four stroke, single cylinder or four - Mike Helvud could go and win on any type of car!

  ATV ... The people are not indifferent to motorcycles, the term is associated with aggressive and angry conqueror of off-road and all sorts of rally-raids. Well, maybe another assistant workaholic, a friend of the farmer. Always rough, dirty and no aerodynamics. The stereotype imposed on us for years, and Japanese moto . But there is a French company Peugeot, who considers it his duty to put on a home Mondial'e something that can easily break all the stereotypes and the classical view of a vehicle, whether car, motorcycle, or a mix of both. That's the last motor show in Paris did not give the audience relax, presenting another concept (now no longer BIKE, than the car) Quark, continued the series of vehicles on the fuel cell.

I will tell you little-known fact: the world the bulk of sales of motor vehicles are motorcycles with engine capacity up to 400 cm3, and the category 125 cubes can be considered one of the most popular. I want a motorcycle! Prompt something new and cheaper ... How many of my friends, I have heard similar words. For some reason they all think I know the answer. In fact, the desire to buy a new inexpensive motorcycles and was born following the test. The reaction of the middle strata of society and swept moto world famous brands, which made management of these companies in a somewhat new look at the possibility of the local market. Demand for the 2004 season proved that the buyer is ripe for buying a new bike in the range 2.5-3 thousand dollars and as a consequence, the demand in the salons, there was a relatively new technique for a class motorcycles. However, everything is new - well forgotten old. The choice in this price segment, of course, is not as wide as a bump but de...

The choice of the universal motorcycle , where you can and shook his affairs, and in the long journey to go, is always difficult. In USA, such a choice is further complicated by the deplorable state of most roads. But there is a class of motorcycles that provides the opportunity to travel, not really caring about the condition of any road surface or the distance. This is a great travel enduro, one of which got us to the test. Like it or not, but the real impression of the bike you get, the first time he saw him alive. Although there is, and vice versa: an impressive picture, but a real machine disappoints. Aprilia Caponord ETV 1000 live impressed more strongly than in the picture. In the guise of a motorcycle is something unbridled, something of an athlete. The very silhouette looks to tighten, which greatly contribute to the under-seat silencers are locked up.

You will never skated on the processor or asphalt? Speed zero, but the emotions - full trousers, while public attention is assured. The last MOTOBIKE in Munich gave a chance to realize the dream of blue - to ride the American streetfighter super design and with a huge V-Twin air, and even in extreme performance - Buell XB9SX City-X . Perhaps the degree of emotion and a sort of rollicking bravado with the Yankees may struggle not only asphalt, but also the most-the most complex and expensive models of  hot Italians. It used to be like this: wake me up at any time, ask for what I wanted to ride, answered without hesitation – to moto Buell . Why am I so want to meet one on one with the hot native of East Troy (though she is no Troy in Asia Minor), and in Wisconsin, a state in the U.S.)?

  In the world of motorcycles , many do. And they can even ride.Some make good bikes and ride them - brings a certain satisfaction. At the same characteristics of the bikes are becoming more and more the average, based on the purse of the average buyer who can not really ride, and, fascinated by the veneer, which seeks out his assistants. More than a respectable figure in kilowatts, buyers are worried that the bike looked like a mad bull. And do not forget about the ABS and combined braking system, and that in fact both can be annealed, then what would be excruciatingly painful, though not for long. And the producers have to meet the wishes of the workers, making it technically perfect piece of iron without any hint of the spirit. But this article is not about them.
