Extreme off-road bike by Patmont Motor Werks

Patmont Motor Werks (PMW) has unveiled the PMW Shocker off road bike. The name is not important if you don’t you knew how the extreme bike was. But you will be impressed when you seeing the bike is more extreme than the BMW RG1200 or KTM off road bike.
PMW Shocker is a company prototype. The special is the company�s patented Cantilevered Independent Dynamic Linkless Indispension (CDLI) suspension system. This technology makes the bike is able to feature single side fork and also single side swingarm. It is normal a bike with single side fork (front suspension) like on the classic Vespa�s scooter. It is also normal when you find the single side swingarm bike, there are a lot of examples: Ducati superbike, Ducati GP, Moto Guzzi Stelvio and Honda VFR800.
Why this PMW Shocker so special or extreme? The single side front-rear suspension bike is designed to hit the extreme thing from street, dirt, and freestyle. PMW Shocker is the only bike that can tackle these.
Unfortunately PMW Shocker still continues to show off its self. Powered by lithium-polymer batteries and a sealed, liquid-cooled DC brushless motor; the 98kg extreme bike is also green. It is such a perfect creation of PMW. Just expect the Nevada based company will produce its amazing bike as soon as possible.

Kawasaki to update the 2010 Z1000

Kawasaki will update their Z1000 naked for the 2010 model year. This is not official statement from Kawasaki. It looks like a expectation from Kawasaki enthusiast or fans for upgraded Kawasaki Z1000 naked. Moto Revue is trying to describe the next year’s Kawasaki Z1000 could be. Working with photoshop, the guys show us this rendering photo of the upcoming Kawasaki middleweight naked. The shape is different from the current naked Z1000. Even someone says that this is just like Yamaha naked. But I think this is just like Aprilia Shiver 750, although with different chassis.
Overall its nice to see. Its more elegant and more aggressive than the stock, for me. Well…I hope the Japanese Kawasaki would like to consider your proposal guys.

Catalunya GP will make the hottest race

Catalunya GP Qualifying was used by the Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo to mark its three times at the MotoGP’s pole position this season. In the second position was Valentino “The Doctor” Rossi that ran less than 0.02s behind the Spaniard at his territory. It is a Caser Stoner at the third place.
It looks like Catalunya GP racing will be the hottest MotoGP round in this season considering the distance among the three riders is very narrow. The Aussi rider, Stoner comes as the leader with 90 points, followed by Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo with 86 points and Italian �The Doctor� with 81 points.
What will happen with Catalunya GP? If the race goes like the qualifying season, the Spaniard will be a winner with 111 points (86 + 20), Stoner at the second place with 106 points (90+ 16) while Rossi at the third with 101 points (81 + 20).
But I hope that the hottest MotoGP race will happen if Rossi goes as the winner getting total points of 106 (81 + 25), Lorenzo second with the same points as Rossi 106 (86+20) while Stoner third with …oh the same 106 points (90 + 16) as the two Fiat Yamaha riders. It will be depended on Rossi to achieve his best performance of taking over his teammate Jorge Lorenzo -while Stoner will be still in the third position.

The three fastest quotes
Jorge Lorenzo
�The heat was incredible today and it�s going to be very tough doing so many laps tomorrow without getting too tired! I�m so happy to be here on pole in front of my home fans at this track, which I really love. Tomorrow is going to be a very difficult race for everyone and I am expecting a very good fight with Valentino, who has a very strong pace. It looks like Stoner and Dovizioso will be there too so I hope it�s an exciting race for the fans! I have a good rhythm here and I feel very comfortable on the bike so I am just going to stay focused and think about having a great race.�

Valentino Rossi�
�It�s good to be back on the front row after three races off it, so we�re happy about that. Of course I am sorry to miss the pole by such a tiny amount, but anyway we have an excellent pace and I am confident for tomorrow. We�ve been waiting for good weather for five races and now the temperature is maybe a little bit too much, but for sure it�s better than rain for everyone! I think that it will be a hard race tomorrow in this heat and after just a few laps I think the bikes will start to slide a bit, which means that we can expect a great battle and a hard fight! I am happy with the work we�ve done here, I am enjoying riding my bike and the weekend is going well so far. There are one or two small things we can hopefully improve tomorrow, but I am ready to be competitive.�

Casey Stoner�
�After yesterday we were quite confident that we knew how to close the gap on the guys in front of us and that is what we expected to do this morning but it proved to be a problematic session and everything we did made the set-up worse. The guys worked really hard over lunchtime and during the session this afternoon to change both bikes completely and thankfully we made a big step forward. There is still a bit of a gap to the two riders ahead of us and we know we have work to do, so warm-up will be really important in the morning. Nobody really knows what anybody is capable of in conditions like this because once the tyres start spinning it is going to be difficult for any of us to match the times we�ve been doing today.

2010 Honda Goldwing with 2000cc engine

Honda Goldwing will be powered by a 2000cc engine for 2010 model year. Unfortunately this statement is not Honda’s official press release. This statement comes from a Honda Goldwing forum.
It is said that the 2010 Honda Goldwing will be powered by 2000cc engine producing more power and torque than the current model. Yet again, this new engine is also more efficient. According to Honda Goldwing forum, even Human Friendly Automatic Transmission will be an option to the standard’s new 6-speed manual transmission.
They also said that the new GL2000 will go on sale in North America in November, 2009. I don’t know all this true or not. But…the 2000cc Honda Goldwing will be a reality if Honda listen to its loyal riders such as this Honda Goldwing forum.

Honda unofficial press release
The Powersports Division of Honda Motor Company announced today that it will be releasing the much anticipated, re-designed Goldwing model in late 2009. The 2010 GL2000 will feature a new 2.0 litre opposed six-cylinder V-Tec engine. Honda engineers have been perfecting the GL2000 engine design for the past four years and claim it will produce more horsepower, increased torque and be more fuel-efficient. Even though Honda considered including the Human Friendly Transmission (automatic) as an option on the new Goldwing, the Motor Company decided on a new 6-speed manual transmission to keep the weight of the motorcycle in line with the current model.

The 2010 Goldwing will feature advanced electronics making the GL2000 the defacto standard of the luxury touring segment. The electronics package will feature a new, bright 13″ LCD monitor that will keep the rider fully informed. The display is very similar to those used in modern jet aircraft for avionics. In addition to speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure, fuel level and engine temperatures, the new monitor can also cycle through a series of entertainment displays for the integrated SIRIUS/XM Satellite radio, Honda NAVI navigation system and a touring display that shows fuel economy, miles to empty, tire pressure, outside air temperature and much more. The monitor can even be customized to display only the information the rider is interested in viewing. All electronics are now driven by a new CAN-BUS system making diagnostic and expansion much easier.

In the comfort department, the GL2000 will feature adjustable suspension front and rear, an electronically adjustable windscreen with manual and auto-modes. In auto mode, the windscreen will raise incrementally as speed increases and lower as speed is reduced. The seat has been redesigned to accommodate an optional removable backrest. The seat height can be raised and lowered up to 1.5 inches through the used of an air bladder built into the seat. The GL2000′s trunk capacity has been increased by 2 litres and tilts open from the side rather than from the rear of the trunk. The saddlebag capacity has been increased by .5 litres as well.
Rider safety has always been a priority for Honda and the new Goldwing will feature standard ABS brakes on all models. To increase visibility, there are two High Intensity Discharge Lamps augmented by bright LED running lights. There are also LED turn signals mounted in the rear view mirrors. The trunk and saddlebags also use LEDs for tail, brake and turn signal lights.
The new GL2000 will go on sale in North America in November, 2009. Pricing for the new models have not been announced.
