The Izh-1, Ultimate Motorcycle

The Izh-1, Ultimate Motorcycle for Futuristic Commuting.

Innovations are inevitable and whether you like it or not, the numbers of innovations only going to increase from here on. Now bound and determined by this ever strong prevailing wave of innovations Mr. Igor Chak has innovated a motorcycle named as ‘Izh-1’ for our future. Yes, I don’t know if this concept will ever see mass production, but what I’m absolutely certain of is that this Hybrid motorbike clearly show us the face of future. And ohh.. boy! I’m loving it and I can’t just wait for future to arrive.

The bike is designed along smooth aerodynamic lines featuring innovative and lighter components to keep the weight nearly half than that of conventional motorcycles. Equipped with 850cc, V-twin engine that interestingly features highly reinforced and heat resistant plastic in its molding and is still capable of generating respectable 140 horsepower.

The engine has built in wiring and circuitry which eliminate damages to wires such as corrosion and decay. As per Igor, having this feature will enable ‘Izh-1’ to have less faulty contacts and make diagnostics more precise. The engine has an automatic smart fuel-regulating system to get the best kmpl. In addition to that there is a brush less 60kw electric motor that is built in the rear rim, with a small 2 speed gearbox. The power to the electric motor comes from a Lithium Sulfide Battery or Li2S (hold four times the energy of Lithium ion batteries) that is located at the rear of the engine. This hybrid combination should be giving out around 28kmpl. To do a breaking duty on bike, Igor has appointed magnetic brakes which are very powerful yet very precise with a hydraulic back-up system. The bikes clutch, braking and throttle are all electronically controlled for more precise driving experience.The bike also comes with futuristic safety packages like airbags that ensure the rider is more likely to survive and sustain a minimum damage to the body in an accident.

Since the bike is from future it includes a radar system integrated with front facing in-built camera which can detect an object as small as a bunny and can program the bike to slow down when a car in front of the bike stops unexpectedly. The camera also has night vision capabilities. Every potential danger is displayed on the onboard 3D LCD which has a connectivity option of Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and 4G. The handlebars will vibrate to warn the rider of a possible warning like… car too close, blind spot, pedestrian, and etc. Other safety features include: advanced traction control that has an automatic ability to adjust to ice, water dirt and oil, an accelerometer to let the headlights turn when you turn, stabilizer to avoid wobble and advanced ABS. Front intakes are not only for aesthetic purposes but are a major part of the construction. First they provide a steady flow of air to the radiator, secondary they work as aerodynamic stabilizers to the front when the bike is traveling at higher speeds. Additionally, it can wirelessly control a mobile device with major OS like iPhone, Blackberry, Windows, Symbian, Android, etc. on the bike’s main display.

One of the most interesting features is the bikes connection to the real world. Its display uses an augmented reality (AR) technology. Now if you not aware of AR than read this – ‘Augmented reality is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data’. Now that you are aware of AR technology read ahead to know how ‘Izh-1’ exploits this technology to take your riding experience to next level. Augmented reality is translated through an HD camera build into the front with night vision capabilities. With this technology GPS navigation has been translated in real time. The navigation pass is overlaid into what the camera sees and displayed on the main display. So all those, whose mind and eyes can’t understand normal GPS can now open Champagne bottle to celebrate this. This also makes it easier way to find commercial points of interest. Augmented reality also works as a safety features to outline potential hazards.

Izh-1 looks amazing and has features which one can only dream of using in future. I just hope that while I’m writing this some angle investor will be looking over Igor creation to put it into production, so that we can experience this beautiful innovation sooner.

Hero HX250R 2015

Hero HX250R 2015

Indian manufacturer Hero MotoCorp revealed a new 249cc sportbike developed with the help of Erik Buell Racing. Hero is calling the HX250R for now, though the name may change before it enters production in the second half of the year. Whatever the name, the HX250R will be Hero’s flagship model and the company’s weapon against former business partner Honda and its CBR250R. The HX250R will also be a sure bet to be one of the models Hero will import to the U.S. through its distribution deal with EBR.

The Hero HX250R is powered by a fuel-injected 249cc Single with an 81.0 mm bore and 48.5 mm stroke, making it a larger piston but a shorter stroke than the CBR250R. Torque figures were not released but Hero claims a peak output of 31 hp at 9000 rpm, giving it a couple more horses on the CBR250R. The curb weight is said to be 306 pounds, which is 53 pounds lighter than the Honda’s claimed curb weight.

Suspension consists of a 37mm telescopic fork and five-step preload-adjustable rear shock. The HX250R is equipped with a combined braking system with optional ABS. A three-piston caliper grips the 300mm front disc while a linked caliper stops the 220mm rear disc. The 17-inch alloy wheels are equipped with a 110/80R-17 tire up front and a 140/70R-17 tire at the back.

Other features include a six-speed transmission, LED brake light and turn signals, twin halogen-bulb headlights and a 3.4-gallon fuel tank.

We’ll have to wait for Erik Buell Racing to announce Hero’s U.S. lineup later in the year to know for sure, but expect to see the HX250R at the announcement.

Mahindra GenZe electric

Mahindra Announces GenZE STS, an E-Scooter with Smartphone Integration

The Mahindra Group has made further inroads in the American market marked by the inauguration of the company’s Mahindra GenZe electric two wheeler facility in Southeast Michigan.
The Mahindra Group has recently inaugurated their GenZe electric two wheeler facility as well as the company’s North American Technical Center in Southeast Michigan, USA. These investments are further testimony to the company’s commitment to developing new age urban transportation solutions for cities around the world.  
“Michigan provided us the perfect eco-system to step up our U.S. presence. We were able to draw on the terrific automotive engineering and manufacturing talent available in the state, to create industry leading initiatives for the United States,” said Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group. “The North American Technical Center and GenZe represent important disruptive product incubators for the Mahindra Group. Constant innovation focused on improving the lives of our consumers, employees and the communities they impact is at the core of Mahindra’s ‘Rise’ philosophy and we are delighted to see this come to fruition in the United States.”
The Mahindra Group isn’t new to the American market for the company already has a presence with its IT companies, namely Tech Mahindra and Bristlecone. Mahindra Tractors have also made strong inroads in the agriculture equipment market in the country. No doubt, the company intends to further its prospects in the American market with other products from its portfolio, however the current focus is GenZe.
The GenZe electric two wheeler has been designed and produced at the company’s manufacturing facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is the only two wheeled electric vehicle of its kind in the United States currently. The GenZe offers specialized storage and can go a distance of 30 miles on a single charge. With a top speed of 30 mph, it doesn’t require a two wheeler license in most states either. Currently, Mahindra is looking at assembling up to 9,000 units per year, however the facility can be ramped up to 20,000 units if demand increases.

Designed as a vehicle for students and urban commuters, the GenZe should find takers amongst those looking to break away from congestion, gas price hikes or the lack of parking. Its unique design and fantastic storage space on board also makes it a convenient last-mile delivery vehicle – a segment of the market that holds a lot of potential for a vehicle such as this.

2015 Ducati Hypermotard SP

2015 Ducati Hypermotard SP

The attendants at the World Ducati Week in Misano, Italy have got a special treat in the shape of the first public appearance of the 2015 Ducati Hypermotard SP, the most savage of the Hypermotard family, shows in an all-new livery for the new model year.

The 2015 Hypermotard SP is a zero-compromise naked beast created and engineered for experienced riders. To stress out this feature even more, Ducati chose two iconic figures for the unveiling of the new supermoto machine: three-time World Superbike champion Troy Bayliss and the 2011 WSBK king, Carlos Checa. The event took place at the International Village of the Marco Simoncelli Misano World Circuit paddocks.

Riders will be thrilled to throw a leg over the 110 hp bike powered by the proven Testastretta 11° 821 cc engine loaded in the iconic tubular trellis frame, one of the Borgo Panigale trademark signatures. The engine borrows the multi-map architecture form the 1199 Panigale S, with a three-mode selection available by means of a push button: Race 110 hp (HIGH), Sport 110 hp (MEDIUM) and Wet 75 hp (LOW). The Panigale also served as the foundation for deriving a new Ducati Safety pack comprising a 3-level ABS and 8-level Traction Control system.

Longer travel suspensions carefully tuned for true supermoto performance, with a Marzocchi USD fork complemented by an Öhlins rear shock unit. Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tires have been chosen for this bike, alongside other premium features, such as the variable-diameter bars, carbon fiber fenders and engine cover guards, a radial brake pump and 5-way adjustable lever and a special seat.

The 2015 Ducati Hypermotard SP tips the scale at 171 kg (377 lbs) and will be available in this new, Ducati Corse-inspired livery in September, with no price modifications from the previous version. In Europe, the bike equipped with a restrictor kit will be offered at no extra cost over the standard one.

Yamaha 2015 SR400

Yamaha Goes Old School With 2015 SR400

Everything old is new again...

The new SR400 is a legendary classic that’s a kick to ride. With it's retro 1970s styling and one of the best performing 399cc air-cooled engines, the SR400 embodies the true meaning of the saying “Everything old is new again.” Jump on, give the kickstarter a stab, and you will be on your way.

How Yamaha Developed the SR400

The re-launch of the SR into the European market with 400cc may seem odd. However, Yamaha kept this model in production for the Japanese market where it is a cult classic, and with the modern fuel injection it could pass European emission standards again.

“We decided to import the SR 400 in small quantities, based on the demand from tuners and special customers” says Product Planning manager Oliver Grill. “It is a true classic. A unique bike that fits today’s trend for high-character motorcycles.”

Actually, the current SR dates back to the success of the first XT 500 since 1976. 
This off-road bike was an instant success and created a boom in the off-road market with its big-single four stroke engine. Big singles had gotten totally out of fashion till then. But by developing a lightweight and reliable engine, Yamaha proved that this engine type still had a strong right of existence for serious riders. The high torque of these engines makes them pull hard and respond instantly to the throttle, at any rpm. The strong pulse of the big-single makes it feel alive too - as a rider you can sense any change in rpm or load of the engine; a very direct connection between rider and engine that many riders appreciate. 

The SR 500 
Yamaha launched the SR 500 in 1978, a model with – already at that time – classic looks, utilizing the proven engine and frame basis of the XT 500 and optimizing everything around it for pure road use. 
In a time where all motorcycles became technically more complicated, and multi-cylinders with high performance were the trend, the simplicity of the SR was a big hit. 
The bike stood on its own, with its lack of pretentions and with a strong SOUL as a sales argument, instead of features and specs. 
It created a strong design impact as an iconic motorbike. Customers appreciated the simplicity, the reliability, the low running costs and the remarkable joy of riding from the big thumper in its nimble chassis. Easy to step on and off. the bike was light and handy in the city while stable enough for open roads, enjoying the steady rumble of the engine. 
Without any need to race against the clock, the enjoyment was always there!



Throughout the years 
Many SR have been sold throughout the years. Due to continued demand, Yamaha kept the SR 500 in production until 1999. Its extreme simplicity allowed you to maintain the bike and individualize it by yourself without complex tools. 
The chassis and engine have served as popular basis for many café racers, street trackers and bobbers all across the world! 
It’s 400 cc version, the SR 400 was continued to be produced, in Japan, all through the years. In 2010 it had a model change: the introduction of fuel injection to comply with the latest emission standards. In 2013 it celebrated its special 35th anniversary edition....

For 2014, the SR400 will be brought to Europe too. 
Oliver expects the bike to remain exclusive. “The bike is of course not cheap with low production quantities, high-quality parts and production in Japan. Nevertheless, the purists and the real connoisseurs and tuners are waiting for it. It will appeal by its coolness, its practicality in the city and its customizing potential.” 

Cool minimalism 
The archetypical motorcycle. One cylinder. One intake valve. One exhaust valve. One exhaust pipe. No balancer in the engine. Not even rubber mounts between engine and frame. A pure and simple-cradle frame design. Nothing fake. Steel fenders. Steel fuel tank.

Everything authentic. And, talking about minimalism: No electric start! 

The kick-start ritual 
Kick-starting the engine is like a ritual. It looks tough but actually it is really easy and fun to do. You put the engine’s piston in the right position, kick once, done. That’s all there is to it! There is a small window on the cylinder to help finding the right piston position, and a decompression lever to help moving the piston around. Thanks to the fuel injection system the engine starts much easier than the old SR 500. Once started, you can enjoy letting it idle along at 1000 rpm, and listen how it runs like clockwork while it warms up… 
The strong fashion style and easy handling make the SR the ideal companion for the city, despite its modest performance. Being extremely light as well as somewhat smaller and with a narrower seat than today’s average motorcycle, the SR excels in tight city traffic and is very easy to approach even by smaller riders. Anybody will appreciate the super nimble handling, which is a sensation in itself! Destined for short stretches and winding roads as well as the occasional relaxed day- tour, the SR will also guarantee curious onlookers when stopping at café’s or vantage points. The more personal your bike is the better! 

Historic 
You will recognize in the design style the purpose, simplicity and directness of a design that pays homage to the classic beauty of the best British and Japanese designs of the 60s and 70s. 
Times gone by can also be seen in the chrome finish and classic shape of its equipment such as the chrome headlight and flashers, the timeless trumpet shape of the exhaust or the round analog instruments for rev counter and speedometer. 
Sun will sparkle off the chromed fenders and the spoked wheels… but before getting too romantic: many riders will appreciate the tough style of the SR and the ease by which it can be customized into a one-off café racer or scrambler!

Customizing 
Not surprising therefore that many famous custom builders across the world have taken the SR as a basis for stunning redesigns...



Tips & tricks: how to kick 
First you pull the decompression lever (below the clutch lever) and slowly rotate the kickstarter to get the piston in the correct starting position. That position is indicated in the looking-glass in the cylinder. When the indicator is in front of this glass, it is in the correct position. Then you let go of the decompression lever and let the kickstarter go up fully. Take a deep breath. The bike is ready to start! Now give a strong kick. No hesitations here: give it all you got, let the kickstarter go down all the way with a lot of speed…. And beware that you don’t touch the throttle at all before the bike starts and runs! If the bike did not start, or even if you gave only a small push to the kickstarter, then ALWAYS go back to the start of the ritual: get the piston in the correct starting position and only then try to kick it. Never try to kick it when the piston is off the correct position. 
If you do this well, the bike will start at the first kick, surprisingly easy! It’s like a magic trick: On-lookers imagine that it needs a lot of force to start it, but when you know the trick it is so easy.

Motus Motorcycles

More Motorcycling  from Motus Motorcycles

Motus Motorcycles has just released the second part of its Daytona launch video, which unlike the first version, is chalked full of close-up and detail shots of the Motus MST and the performance-packed Motus MST-R. The Daytona Bike Week was the public launch of the new American-made sport-tourer, which features the KMV4 1,645cc V4 pushrod motor with gasoline direct injection. Motus’s approach with the KMV4 is to take a page out of America’s rich hot-rodding tradition, and therefore has built a power plant that tuners and hobbiests should find the designs of familiar.
Helping Motus build this tiny buy powerful engine is Pratt & Miller Engineering, who have made a name for themselves building all sorts of racing engines, including those from the C6R Corvette Racing squad, which coincidently also uses a pushrod design. This has lead to many calling the KMV4 as simply half a Corvette motor, which the math doesn’t really support, but the philosophy surely does.
Next for the Motus crew is a ride around the United States that will not only serve as an R&D/proving method for the new bikes, but will also help drum-up interested buyers and the much needed dealers to get the motorcycle company launched off the ground. We’re looking forward to seeing the 161hp sport-tourer come to San Francisco, we just hope the rumors we’ve been hearing of a $30,000+ price tag aren’t true. Get ready to bust out your “V4″ gang signs, as the video is after the jump.

New Italjet Dragster

Italjet Dragster

The aesthetic of the New Dragster does not leave any doubt on the aggressive character of a sport scooter.
The essential and unmistakeable line immediately arouses pure emotion and once in the saddle you will discover a power and an absolute manageability.

The dragster is intended for al those who love sport scooter with all the energy of a technological advanced engine and a fighting spirit of a futuristic design.

Every detail is designed for maximum visual effect: the front square and essential, the headlight narrow and low, the shield narrow and strictly matt black, the special frame and the hyper technological suspension make the Dragster unique, despite all the attempts to imitation.

For those of you who are new to the Dragster, here's a run-down of the Dragsters main features:

Instant visual appeal - designed using computer technology the essentially Ducati-inspired open trellis frame gives the Dragster its distinct character and sets it apart from all other Scooters. Built upon the trellis frame sits the radiator mounted in the nose of the bike. And the bodywork itself makes the Dragster look more like a sportsbike than a scooter.

Total control - what's initially striking about the Dragster is its suspension configuration. Engineers at Italjet have developed what they call the independent steering system (SIS). This involves the front hydro-pneumatic suspension positioned horizontally as opposed to the twin-fork configuration on most Scooters. This gives the Dragster a unique advantage in allowing greater manoeuvre-ability as the forces acting on the suspension are transferred away from the front wheel towards the center of the bike thus enabling greater control on bends and on bumpy surfaces.

The handlebars have also been placed at a slightly lower position meaning that the riders weight is slightly to the front of the bike again allowing greater control over the steering.

Goes like the proverbial - with a weight of only 107 Kg (125cc) and 109 Kg (180cc) means that the Dragster remains agile in order to provide brisk acceleration, 0-60 mph in 6 seconds (tuned) certainly gives the 'big bikes' a run for their money.

LATEST GHEZZI-BRIAN & MIRCO SAPIO

LATEST GHEZZI-BRIAN & MIRCO SAPIO NEW YOUNG GUN DESIGN DUCATI PANIGALE CURVA 1190 2014

Young gun design Mirco Sapio strikes again, and if you thought your 1290 KTM Super Duke R was the most innovative printing meanest thing you’ve seen, I invite you to know the Ghezzi – Brian Curve 1190.

The KTM Adventure is a 1190 cc V -twin dual sport motorcycle manufacturer KTM 1195 Austrian . The model was unveiled at the Intermot show in October 2012 for the 2014 model year.

It is difficult to say now whether Ghezzi – Brian have this amazing project in production, although it is feasible . Mirco Brian Sapio and joint efforts focused on a bicycle with a high level of functionality , pretty easy to make, although most likely not a cheap one.

The Curve 1190 is based on the acclaimed Ducati 1199 Panigale , and get a picture of secondary carbon fiber , with a massive style and even stronger functional. Methods of forming the carbon fiber allows Sapio to create a unique machine with internal air to help cool the best beast and still looks amazing.

The LC8 engine is based on the engine of the RC8 sportbike . Just like the RC8 , and unlike its predecessor, the 990 Adventure , the 1190 Adventure uses ride- by-wire throttle .


Provide separate air intakes for combustion , while different ducts lead to the system of air and oil cooling . But the most spectacular option is what tends to be the registered trademark of Mirco Sapio , awesome exhaust , fully integrated into the body of carbon. A separate line is also sending cool air to cool the muffler addition to the general characteristics of high performance.
