2010 Buell Lightning CityX XB12SX
The rim-mounted design eliminates the need for load-bearing spokes or even a second disc, resulting in a front-end assembly that is significantly lighter New for 2010, the flycut ZTL-2 logo adds a trick look to the caliper. The caliper casting was optimised for clamp stiffness, yielding a more progressive and connected braking feel to the rider. ZTL-2 Front Brake Proven through multiple wins in US AMA Pro Racing, the Buell Zero Torsional Load (ZTL-2) front brake utilises a 4-pad, 8-piston caliper and single 375 mm rotor.
Who says a road has to be wide open to be fun? Light, nimble, and aggressive, it's powered by a 1203cc Thunderstorm air/oil/fan-cooled, fuel injected, 45-degree V-Twin. This urban streetfighter comes fully equipped to handle whatever the big city throws your way, with standard wind deflectors, frame pucks, headlamp grille, and the unique X-Guard to protect the airbox cover from your tank bag. Just as a jagged stretch of country road offers one kind of challenge, a crowded city environment offers another. Urban Warrior.
Delivering a whopping 104 Nm/ 77 ft lbs of torque, the bike is available in Valencia Orange Translucent & Hero Blue Translucent, both with black wheels. Receiving its debut in Europe, the XB12SX marries the sheer power of the Thunderstorm 1203cc V-Twin engine with Buell’s popular Lightning CityX XB9SX chassis and suspension, inspired by the needs of today’s urban rider. For those looking for a bike with agile handling, as well as serious torque and acceleration for real urban power, MY10 sees the introduction of the new Lightning CityX XB12SX.

2010 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic
Like the systems in use on the Ninja 650R and Vulcan 900 motorcycles, the 1700 Classic’s fuel injection uses one sensor in The system offers a natural throttle feel, because the APS is activated by a throttle body pulley that’s connected by cables to the throttle grip. Both units feed data to the ECU, which adjusts the throttle plates to tailor intake airflow accordingly. The system utilizes an Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS).
Working with a powerful ECU and the rest of the fuel injection system, the electronic throttle valve enhances response without detracting from its distinctive V-twin feel--delivering ultra-precise intake flow to the engine under nearly any conditions. Kawasaki’s fully electronic throttle valve system feeds that big V-twin exactly what it needs. The engine’s long-stroke design, high compression and large displacement produce massive amounts of quick-revving torque, all of it delivered with a distinct V-twin character. The Vulcan 1700 Classic V-twin uses a single overhead cam in each cylinder head, rather than a push-rod overhead-valve arrangement, to boost efficiency and provide quick acceleration and superior passing performance.
Witness Exhibit A: The Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic combines things like the latest electronic throttle technology feeding a visceral overhead-cam V-twin, with a dose of old-fashioned cruiser simplicity that lets the rider focus on the experience and not the machine, mile after reliable mile. As a matter of fact, just the opposite. Retro and Techno come together to create one Timeless Cruiser At Kawasaki, we don’t believe classic looks and high technology need to be mutually exclusive.

Working with the rest of the fuel injection system, the electronic throttle valve enhances the Yet more unique technology is found in Kawasaki’s fully electronic throttle valve system. (Unlike the Concours 14 ABS, however, only a single K-ACT mode is available.) K-ACT’s coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mph, and the ABS function is automatically disengaged at speeds below four mph. Basically, the front lever also activates the rear brake, and the rear pedal also engages the right front caliper: K-ACT sees to it that that happens seamlessly and efficiently, and the new, second-generation system uses the same smaller, lighter ABS unit and the faster, higher-spec brake ECU found on the Kawasaki Concours 14 ABS motorcycle for even smoother, more precise operation. Available on the ABS-equipped Voyager, K-ACT uses advanced electronics to translate the rider’s braking inputs into both the front lever and rear pedal into smooth, balanced deceleration and maximum stopping performance.
For 2010, the Vulcan Voyager ABS’s complement of cutting-edge electronics is headlined by a new, second-generation version of the Kawasaki Advanced Coactive Braking Technology (K-ACT) system. Built for the touring rider who has to have it all—and look good having it… Flagship of the Vulcan 1700 family, the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager and Voyager ABS come equipped with everything the serious touring rider needs to pile on the miles in comfort and style: a large frame-mounted fairing, amazing storage capacity, a sculpted touring seat, electronic cruise control, a premium sound system and a powerful long-stroke 1700cc, liquid-cooled, 52° V-Twin engine.

2010 Kawasaki KLX250SF
Wheel The KLX250SF’s fully-adjustable suspension features 16-way adjustable compression and rebound damping on both the 43mm inverted cartridge-style front fork and the UNI-TRAK rear suspension. At the same time, the suspension is still supple enough to soak up most road surface irregularities and offer a smooth ride. These changes provide a reduction in pitching motions during braking and acceleration, and help the rider hold a consistent line during aggressive on-road cornering. The change in setup offers a firmer ride than the 250S, thanks to a change in front fork oil level and revised damping settings for both the fork and shock.
This also results in a more planted feel in corners and a lower seat height. Compared to the KLX250S dual sport, the KLX250SF has reduced wheel travel at both ends, placing the center of gravity lower for improved on-road handling and enhanced straight-line stability. Few motorcycles — of any size or price — are capable of out-cornering it. It’s “just” a 250, but its light weight of just 302 pounds means the KLX250SF packs the sort of performance you’d expect from something bigger and more expensive. Based on Kawasaki’s critically acclaimed KLX250S dual sport on/off-road bike, the SF dials up maximum on-road fun with sticky street radials mounted on 17-inch wheels, a shorter seat height, a bit less suspension travel and a big front brake.

2010 Kawasaki Versys
The Versys' compact liquid-cooled fuel-injected 649cc parallel-twin engine was the perfect powerplant for this light and nimble do-anything bike right Functionally, the Versys was tough to improve upon, but adding rubber bushings to the rear engine mounts, and topping the footpegs with hollow rubber inserts to better isolate the rider's feet from engine vibration, resulted in a smoother, more relaxed ride. Out back there's a bright new Z1000-type LED tail light, and between the head and tail lights all sorts of pieces have been restyled to reflect the Versys' quality, including the radiator shrouds, mirrors, turn signals, engine covers and rear fender. A new stacked dual-beam headlight leads the way, with a bigger, three-way adjustable windscreen atop it that gives more options to more riders.
Fresh new bodywork showcases the Versys' athletic-looking steel trellis frame, gull-wing swingarm and compact engine, with a newly sculpted shape that shows off the bike's dynamic flexibility and strength. Luckily, the brains at Kawasaki who dreamed up the Versys are not afraid to mess with success, so for 2010, there's even more to love. Motorcyclist magazine named it "Motorcycle of the Year," and the Versys made top 10 lists around the world. Following its debut just a couple of years ago, the world's motorcycle press unanimously embraced the Versys' unique combination of utility, versatility, affordability and just plain fun - and they haven't stopped singing its praises. Now and then, a clean-sheet idea that just plain works appears from out of nowhere, and everybody wonders why nobody thought of it before… That's the Kawasaki Versys®.

Even in 1968, the motorcycle industry with large capacity limited to manufacturers British and European and American.
The Japanese were coming, however, and has already achieved great successes in the middle classes and light weight since 1948.
However, in 1968, everything changed. It was not one looked really coming. Perhaps the self-satisfied when the British motorcycle industry decided that the Japanese will not enter the arena, a large bike.
Naturally, the definition of "big bike" means anything more than 750cc, and in many ways refer to the same 750cc category, and once again was going to be any change in the 1970s.
However, in October 1968 saw a huge difference in motorcycles. Only a few months of the year, and victory began the new "big bike", and Trident. This machine produced 58bhp and a top speed of 125mph. Properly handle and the victory and high hopes for it.
However, the cosmetic is ugly to some extent for the time, and expensive when compared to the level of twins age.
Tokyo saw the 1968 and show a motorcycle shock launch CB750 Honda. Design immediately caught the eye. Flow lines, and in victory and not "look" box, mostly as a result milk rectangular bread "" tank, and the stunning four-cylinder engine with four exhaust pipes, disc brakes front and rear indicators and electric starter is something very mad.
And technologically advanced well. And the engine was completely new and have very low levels of vibration, which makes it incredibly soft to the day, and brake and revelation.
The smoothness of the engine a lot to do with the main design brief, which was "more the better" with respect to the engine.
One of the main objectives of the development of the device, which can suffer comfortably for long periods. Were studied and one of the keys to this limit was vibration, and many configurations to find out what type and size of the engine and provide a minimum of vibration.
Was found to vibrate problem in the 500cc engines on the ability to form a double parallel shared. V twins have been tested and style boxer engines, and the result of four configurations are included in the 750cc.
The bike was well received in the United States and then in the United Kingdom, where it was presold the first installment as a whole.
The bike was a great success, combining the state a lot of design art, both in terms of design and mechanics. It was very quiet for the day, and due to some changes in engine design brand new, split horizontally cans facilities (Alkrnkat For example, the device that is unlikely that oil leaking or need constant attention.
CB750 was an instant hit, and paved the way for a massive change in the manufacture of motorcycles. This is the dawn of Superbike.

There was a large number of motorcycles expected protector over the years but the excitement and speculation which emerged on VFR1200F New Honda V4 powered must certainly rank up there with the most fervent
Honda showed the bike originally from V4 concept in late 2008 in the annual exhibition for trade Intermot, which was held in Cologne. Group to model the distinctive tongues wagging and speculation - fueled by the experience of a number of humor sites and leaked information - was rife on what was next in the pipeline.
The company has developed finally fans out of their misery in 2009, when VFR1200F officially announced and unveiled for the entire device in that year the Tokyo Motor Show.
