YZF-R125 Race Replica
The racetrack is a major influence on the design of Yamaha’s R-series, and the YZF-R125 is no different. The new YZF-R125 Team Yamaha Race Replica features striking blue and white paint and graphics to match Valentino Rossi’s MotoGP bike and the same aggressive R-series styling as the R1 and R6.
Born from the supersport DNA of the R-series, the YZF-R125 has R-series style and attitude. Its free-revving, liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine is fuel injected for near-instant throttle response, while a 6-speed gearbox lets you keep it in the power band. A lightweight Deltabox frame linked to a cast aluminium swinging-arm delivers class-leading handling. And, because it’s full-sized, the R125 provides a comfortable riding position – even for taller riders.

Riding With a Pillion
Some Tips About How To... keep your pillion happy.
First and foremost:
How many times have you come across a pillion wearing just a basic helmet and casual clothing, while the rider is geared in a proper top-of-the line helmet and leather gear. We don’t see any reason to treat your pillion like this because he/she is as vulnerable as you during an accident. So make sure you keep the pillion well kitted out with a good, safe helmet and protective gearing. The same goes for having wet/cold weather clothing available if necessary.
The bike:
All bikes come with adjustable rear suspension. Before going on a ride with a pillion, ensure that you increase the pre-load to compensate for the weight increase over the rear wheel. This will also keep the bike’s steering geometry right by keeping the rear end from bottoming out, apart from keeping a check on the overall ground clearance of the bike. If you are one of those lucky riders to have a bike with adjustable front suspension, then extra preload plus a little more compression damping will help reduce fork dive during hard braking when the extra weight is transferred to the front end. Also let the grab-rail be there. It is fitted there for a reason!
Pillion specific bikes:
Generally speaking, sports bikes such as the Fireblades or the latest Ninjas are not as comfortable as other bikes. They fail to take a pillion’s needs into account. But still, any bike with pillion foot-pegs and a rear seat will be able to carry a pillion, although not necessarily in a comfortable manner. Put yourself in the pillion’s place and you’ll definitely plan more stops for stretching your legs. If you ride often with a pillion, it’s better to take along the passenger while you are out shopping for a bike so that you both can choose a bike which can keep the pillion happy. Also, if the bike has a more flexible engine, it helps as you don’t have to shift up (or down) too much and this protects the pillion from sudden jerks. Among Indian bikes the best equipped from a pillion perspective are the Enfield Bullets, the Hero Honda Karizma and also the Yamaha Fazer. And almost all Indian bikes come with grabrails fitted as standard.Novice pillions can be nervous pillions. Talk to them and try to relax them.
Speak to them about how to get onto the bike without putting the whole weight on any one peg, where and how to hold the grab-rail.
Assure the pillion its OK for him to speak up, or even shout if necessary, if they aren’t comfortable with the way you are riding or with the speeds
you are keeping. During stops, do talk to them about the same. Go easy on the throttle to
avoid jerking the bike in order to look after the pillion’
s back muscles and mental well being.
Go up and down the gears
lower down the revs so acceleration and deceleration are less violent.
Explain them the basics of leaning in and out of a turn.
There should be no sudden moving around as this can distract and catch you off-guard.
They should not keep their feet down until the bike is complete stationary.
There should a level of understanding between you and the pillion.
A tap on the thigh can mean you are about to accelerate hard. A simple squeeze of the thigh or a quick glance behind could mean ‘how you doing’? (Don’t do this!) As a rider, the pillion’s well-being is your responsibility. Stay away from antics like getting the knee down, as this may make the pillion nervous.
A sudden shift in their body could easily lead to a loss of balance.While braking, the bike will take a lot more distance to stop with a pillion.
So be prepared for it and try to sit upright with a firm grip on the handle bars.
In case of sudden braking, the pillion is likely to bang into you.
Explain to the pillion how to shift their body weight, for example, as the rider begins to brake, lean or accelerate.
It’s better for them to look straight at you from behind and let it all happen naturally.
Do pillions lean with you in the corner? Yes, but just a little.
They should lean at the same angle as the bike makes with vertical or just a little more (into the lean).
Overleaning or underleaning affect the balance of the bike.

2010 KTM 1190 RC8
Sharper and lighter than anything that calls itself competition: 120 Nm torque, 155 HP at 10,000 rpm and withs less than 200 kilos fully tanked.
Nonetheless, thanks to innovative solutions and meticulous detail work, we've achieved unsurpassed rideability - on the street and on the racetrack, in every situation - of life or riding.
The latest generation LC8 two-cylinder, dry sump lubrication, displacement: 1148 cc, power: 155 HP (113.8 kW)
- Underfloor exhaust system, regulated catalytic converter
- Lightweight steel trellis frame with light alloy subframe
- Premium-quality, fully adjustable WP suspension components
- Radially-mounted Brembo four-piston monoblock brake callipers with 320 millimetre brake discs
- Adjustable vehicle and seat ergonomics
- Available ex factory: PowerParts accessories range
2008 marked a milestone in KTM's history as this was the year in which the company launched the first Superbike to be designed and manufactured in Austria: the fascinating 1190 RC8. This highly stylised machine highlighted KTM's sporty abilities on asphalt. The latest generation LC8 twocylinder motorcycle was designed from scratch. The high-tech drive has a displacement of 1148 cc and generates 155 HP and a 120 Nm torque. The carburetion is made possible by a fuel injection system with 52 mm throttle valves. The engineers positioned the silencer by centralising the masses beneath the engine, further optimising the nimble handling of the Superbike that weighs less than 200 kg with a full tank. The ultra-light frame also makes it possible to perfectly position the powerful yet highly compact engine and is equipped with premium-quality, fully adjustable WP chassis components. The subframe, footrests and clip-on handlebars are height-adjustable. A powerful Brembo brake system with four-piston monoblock brake callipers with 320 millimetre brake discs is used for superior deceleration.

One Bike Two Personalities - Honda XR 650 L
It's a dirtbike and it's a streetbike. And it's great at both. Built Baja-tough but street-legal, the XR650L is at home on the street and off-road.
It all starts in the engine room, where the XR's potent, Baja-bred 644cc OHC powerplant uses Honda's patented Radial Four-Valve Combustion Chamber (RFVC) to put out huge torque and power. From there, a gear-driven counterbalancer minimizes vibrations, while a light, rigid chassis and long-travel suspension soak up the bumps and deliver superb handling on pavement and off. Handy electric starting simply makes it all that much easier

Harely Davidson FLHR Road King Preview
Owning a Harley Davidson is a dream of any biker and you need not go through the process of importing these monsters anymore, as these bikes will be made available right here, in the Indian market. This could be the most exciting news for the bike lovers. 12 hotties from Harley Davidson were launched in the Auto Expo held in New Delhi and the onlookers were simply awe-struck with sheer look at the bikes. FLHR Road king is one of the Touring range bikes, which is one of the five model families. The US bike maker is all set to open five dealerships in the five cities of India: New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chandigarh.
Road King, in fact, was first introduced in 1994 with styling that became a rage and the latest version has maintained more or less the same look that is, breath taking of course. A twin cam 96, 1,584 cc, V-twin, air-cooled, 4-stroke, 4 valves and fuel injected engine, powers the FLHR Road King. The bike is also braced with 6-speed gearbox and the estimated top speed is around 110 mph.
The finishing of the bike is impeccable and the detachable windshield with injection-moulded GTX® saddlebags is just apt for touring. The bike fits perfectly into the touring range; you can cruise or commute it will be a rewarding experience in either ways. The bike might not be a fast machine but commuting is easy and convenient that emphasises on mile consumption.
As regards pricing, hold your breath, for here is price of the FLHR Road King is Rs 20,45,000 but the Indian consumers who can afford this “King” will certainly not be disappointed; it will be neighbours envy and owner’s pride. The striking looks, engine, comfort and the versatile features are the plus points of FLHR Road King. The bookings will kick-start in the month of April 2010 and you can make it yours in the month of June.
