Yamaha Bikes in India will be launching 3 new bikes in India

Globally, Yamaha Motorcycles has a performance oriented brand image and is known for their technological excellence. But thats not the case for Yamaha India with their damp and not so exciting current line-up of bikes. Realizing the power and growth potential of the Indian 2-wheeler market, Yamaha is bent on re-establishing themselves in India, only this time aiming for the brand image rather than going after mass market sales. As part of their strategy YMI recently launched the world class YZF R1 and MT01, furthermore Yamaha will be launching 3 new bikes in India in 2008.

2011 Cagiva Mito 125 Wallpapers and Reviews

2011 Cagiva Mito 125

Price new: £3,999

Engine: l/c two-stroke single, 124cc

Power: 31bhp (derestricted)

Top speed: 101mph

Weight: 129kg

The Cagiva Mito is pretty equal with the Aprilia RS125 when it comes to power and performance, but the ace up it's sleeve is it's mini Ducati 916 styling.

Read the Cagiva Mito review

The Cagiva Mito's handling is razor sharp, it pretty much goes where you think and the limit is the road and rider. In the right hands the Mito is an elbow-down scratcher and the focused riding position reflects this. The steering lock is poor too, so it's not the best bike to take your test on.

If you want Mito fun with a bit more practicality, consider the gorgeous naked version, the Cagiva Planet.

The top 10 coolest 125cc bikes

Most Cagiva Mito's will have been owned and thrashed by teenagers, so buy with caution. Make sure you get a full service history and that the bike has been run on quality 2-stroke oil. Build quality and electrics aren't up to much, so make sure you check up close and flick all the switches.

2012 honda cbr1000rr fireblade

2012 honda cbr1000rr fireblade specifications

Describing a bike by My knowledge using words like polished, secure and predictable, I'd wager you wouldn't think I was referring to Honda's 2009 Fireblade. But the big superbike is actually one of the most sorted and usable machines out there. Something making a claimed 175bhp, not to mention having an immense speed potential, simply has no right to be as well-mannered and friendly as it is.The Honda is obviously the product of some very thoughtful and skilful design and engineering. In fact some might think it's just a bit too civilised and refined to fully excite in the same way the other litre-sportsbikes can. But my own take on it is; what it might lack in sheer excitement, it more than makes up for in effectiveness. Making any sort of progress, even speedy, has rarely been as easy as is on this bike.It's hard to know where to start with the praise for the Honda, but I'll begin with one thing the CBR is very impressive at doing - stopping. Stopping very quickly and very safely.

Anyone who knows me will be well aware of just how much of a huge fan I am of Honda's new C-ABS braking system. I've ridden a CBR600RR on both the road and track equipped with the clever electronic arrangement, and now the Fireblade too. And my verdict on it is the same every time; I consider it one of the greatest safety aids in motorcycling that I've ever experienced during my thirty years on bikes.I can't really praise it highly enough and no matter who you are, or where you're riding the C-ABS Hondas, you'll benefit every time you need to slow down. It's just about fully fool-proof, and thanks to its high intelligent electronics controlling pumps to distribute braking pressure to front and rear calipers, you can always guarantee to come to a halt as quickly and safely as possible. Be as ham-fisted as you want (and let's face it, all of us will at one time or another be likely to brake that way because of either inexperience or panic) and the 'braking-by-wire' set-up will manage the situation perfectly.

If it senses the pressure given to either front or rear calipers is too high, and likely to cause wheel lock, then it will cleverly send some of that pressure to the other end of the bike to distribute the stopping more evenly.HondaCBR1000FirebladeYou can sense this pressure re-distribution occurring very subtly even on loose or slippery surfaces. And unlike many ABS-equipped bikes that give a high frequency pulsing effect at either the lever or foot pedal, as the pressure is released and then re-applied, the Honda's system exhibits no such cadence braking effect. It's both effective, yet unobtrusive, and is in my opinion a must have. There is the option of a standard version of the bike with a conventional braking system which costs ?1500 less. But I'd go for the extra expense of the C-ABS model every time. I'd view it as insurance against bike or rider damage that could easily end up costing a lot more than the difference between the two bikes. Every single rider makes mistakes now and then, and if those errors can be dealt with in the way the C-ABS manages them, then as far as I'm concerned the choice between the two bikes is a no-brainer really.Beyond the brakes, the rest of the two Honda's specification is pretty much identical, and worthy of plenty of praise too. It's the combination of the parts as a whole that impresses most of all. And though the engine and chassis are both superb in their own right, it's the way they and everything else blends and complements each other so well that gives the Honda its 'just right' package and special feel.Honda CBR 1000 FirebladeThe CBR is compact and physically smaller than the other Japanese superbikes, though it's not cramped in any way so everyday use and longer runs can still be entertained. But more importantly, its diminutive size gives the Blade an easy feel to it, making it very agile and flickable. Of course it's more the actual chassis geometry and weight that account for this, but there's nothing quite like small and slim dimensions to make things seem this way.On top of that, the overall balance of the bike and the action of its excellent suspension also helps to give the Honda remarkable poise and superb feedback. It really does seem like an extension of yourself and something you feel totally part of. And it doesn't matter what speed you're going either, trickling through town, or running as fast as you can on either road or track, the result is the same. The exceptional agility has no down sides either with any potential flapping from the steering dealt with immediately by the electronic steering damper which increases its effect the faster you go. I'd stick my neck out and say the Blade is the best handling of all the Japanese superbikes.The engine's up right up there with the best too, though I personally do prefer the new R1's power delivery. Even so, apart from some slight wooliness at very low rpm which is less evident when it's cold, just like the chassis the motor has manners that really assist the control of the bike. The delivery is smooth and linear and the more power you want, the more you need to rev it closer to its 13,000rpm redline. It's as simple and straightforward as that.

As manageable engines go, this is a beauty.In saying that, it can still send you to ridiculous law-breaking speeds in a jiff, and when you use it harder there's no doubt whatsoever that this is a superfast piece of machinery. It will loft its front wheel quite readily if you're generous with the throttle, so you always need to be at your best if you decide to ride it a bit harder. The great thing about the Fireblade though, is no matter who you are, or at what pace you're riding, it's always helping you out. Always on your side and constantly flattering your riding hugely, The Honda is a bike with few surprises and one that just gets on with its job of being brilliant and hugely effective.The original Blade may have rocked the biking world to its core back in 1992, but the current model is easily the best version yet. It might not have quite the same aggressive attitude as the original, and it isn't as stylish as that bike once was. But by being much better balanced overall, the new bike is a lot better for it. Think of the latest Fireblade as a very speedy gentleman's express and you'll have some idea what it feels like to ride.SPECIFICATIONSHONDA FIREBLADE C-ABSENGINEType: 999cc, liquid-cooled, sixteen-valve, dohc, in-line fourMaximum power: 175bhp @ 12,000rpmMaximum torque: 84lb/ft @ 8,500rpmTransmission: 6-speedFinal Drive: chainCHASSIS/COMPONENTSFrame: Alloy twin sparSuspension: Front: 43mm inverted telescopic forks, fully adjustableRear: rising-rate monoshock, fully adjustableBrakes: Front: twin 320mm discs with four piston radial C-ABS calipers Rear: single 220mm disc with twin piston C-ABS caliperTyres: Front: 120/70-17Rear: 190/55-17DIMENSIONS/CAPACITYSeat height: 820mmWheelbase: 1410mmClaimed wet weight: 210kgFuel capacity: 17.7 litresPrice: ?10,721Contact: Honda UK 0845 200 8000.

Honda Fireblade 2011 bikes

Honda has unveiled a special edition CBR1000RR Fireblade to celebrate Casey Stoner's return to the Honda fold, limited to just 170 units

Before Casey Stoner has even participated in qualifying for the first race of the 2011 MotoGP season in Qatar, Honda's global promotions department is already cranking out commemorative products.

Exhibit A) your honour, the limited edition 2011 Honda CBR1000RR Casey Stoner Repsol Fireblade.

Finished in the same Repsol livery as Stoner's 2011 RC212V MotoGP race bike, the limited edition Honda Fireblade will be on sale at Honda dealerships from the end of February and according to the Japanese company, all bikes will come with a "hard mounted wall plaque of authenticity" which are numbered 1 of 170, plus a Repsol Rear Cowl with signature and Casey Stoner decals mounted on the motorcycle.

The special edition CBR1000RR Casey Stoner Repsol Fireblade will retail for $18,790 plus on road costs and like the MotoGP race bike will bear Stoner's number 27 on the front, which is rumoured to add an around 10km/h to the bike's top speed.

On top of the extra goodies that come with the Stoner Fireblade, the "familiar Repsol colours complement the Fireblade’s race-ready profile and emphasise the aggressive details of its cowling, chassis and high-performance components," claims Honda.

Honda's compact litre-class sports bike tips the scales at just 176kg and is power-driven by a liquid-cooled four-stroke engine that cranks out around 177hp (130kW).

Though the motorcycle doesn't include the sort of advanced electronic riding aids such as traction and anti-wheelie control like the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, the Honda is known for its chassis dynamics, the CBR1000RR Fireblade having a "particularly sweet chassis" according to one our previous reviews.

Celebrating what could be a massive year for both Casey Stoner and Repsol Honda MotoGP team in 2011, this limited edition Fireblade probably won't be around long with only 170 units on offer. Check out HondaMotorcycles.com.au for your nearest dealer.
