Barely launched, the 2009 BMW K 1300 GT shows itself in the first official pictures featuring the new color schemes that are Red/Orange, Bronze/Silver and Black/Gray. Video is now also available.
A veritable touring bike, the GT features electrically-adjustable windscreen as well as heated seat and handles as standard options.
Although the engine produces 160 hp, they are harnessed by the speed limiter so the new BMW would still have a hard time dethroning the Kawasaki GTR 1400.
Stay tuned to find out more about this model as soon as new info comes up.
BMW further impresses us with the presentation of more official pictures and video of the 2009 K 1300 R. Like the "S" model, the naked retains the Duolever front suspension and single-sided rear swingarm with shaft included.
The engine is the same 1292 four-cylinder inline managing an outstanding 173 hp. This much amount of power, together with its 217 kg position the bike up against the Suzuki B-King, something that isn’t quite often to be seen.
The BMW K 1300 R will be available in three colors for 2009: Orange, Gray and White. Even thought he Bavarian manufacturer hasn’t made the price public yet, the bike will be available at BMW dealerships until the end of the year
BMW made public the first official pictures and video of the much bragged about 2009 K 1300 S, a bike that carries on the fame of the innovative K series by retaining the Duolever front suspension and single-sided swingarm with integrated shaft.
The new model is expected to make quite an impression on the industry’s scene not as much due to its 228 kg and 1292cc inline-four engine that is capable of 175 hp, but more due to the optional quickshifter and the new ESA 2 (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) system.
Overall, the design hasn’t been changed except the slightly redesigned side fairings and black finished front air scoops. For 2009, the BMW K 1300 S will be available Dark Gray painted with sportier colored graphics (white/red/gray), Metallic Gray and Orange.
The price hasn’t been made public yet, but as you’ll be seeing this video it probably won’t even matter.
From the country of the biggest motorcycle producers in the world comes a video that is as surprising as they get. A rollerman races a motorcycle in Japan and actually manages to win by using the drifting technique of Japan car racers.
What is even more interesting is that by taking a look at the human bobsled and the motorcycle rider you understand that both are equally exposed, but only one is allowed to use the public roads.
Still, I believe that things would have stood a whole lot different if they would have used a super sport motorcycle instead of a naked. And, frankly, who wouldn’t feel intimidated by the possibility of practically running the guy you race against over. Or maybe I’m just holding on to any plea. What do you think?
The Kawasaki-powered T-Rex is the fastest 3-wheeler in the world (157 mph) and Fifth Gear star, Tiff, takes it for a spin in some pretty harsh conditions. You don’t see a 3.5 seconds trike with a steering wheel being driven like that every day.
Yamaha Motor Europe had the inspired idea of creating a video which takes prospects through Diversion’s technical features, familiarizing them with the bike and making it easier to make a decision.
Recently launched, the clip is supposed to increase sells so the bike is presented as an all-new one even though it is derived from the FZ6, Fazer in Europe.
The revised inline-four now manages a decent 59,7 Nm @ 8,500 rpm and 78 Hp @ 10,000 rpm considering the bike’s 216 kilos and the versatile character.
New MotoGP technologies that have been implemented on the all-new 2009 Yamaha R1 change the sound of this race bike with headlights and mirrors. Because in the official video that doesn’t stand out, we show you an additional clip that is especially made for cathing the sound of uneven firing interval. Music to my ears…
The world’s local bank or not, but I love the scenario that HSBC imagines for making their own commercial. A world in which Harley-Davidson is the number one mean of transportation is probably every rider’s dream and if it can’t be made reality at least it brings your pc’s screen to live.
This is a Old West style ad for the Georgia State Lottery featuring as modern as possible elements such as a parking meter and a 105th Anniversary Harley-Davidson Fat Boy mechanical horse. The two touches of modernity start the conflict in this clip, but the funny part is how it ends.
Having released the official photos of the 2009 Ducati Monster 1100 only a few days ago, the Italian house now launches the first official video in order to keep fans hooked in expectancy of the Intermot show in Cologne a week from now.
The bike is expected to be a huge success in Europe and, as you can see, the action takes place on winding roads of the old continent.
