Vario Matic Modification Low Rider From Jakarta

Modification Honda Vario Low Rider Jakarta to have the coolest new tamilan monopoly modifmania not just big cities. In Madiun, East Java, Donny Dwi Budianto of 73 Motor Honda Vario 2007 remodel his property until he could''aka''bodinya jig up and down like on MODIF car.

Donny aka Modern MEFRIK apply concepts, aesthetic, functional, Rational, Innovation, and Creative at berlambang skubek packed wing. The most prominent and practically MODIF breakthrough in 2009 that the use of air suspension (water-sus), which makes the body can rise and fall as many have been adopted in the modification of cars in the country.

"It's like a big-matic trends in Japan," said Donny. To be able to operate a water-sus, it uses 550 psi pressure compressor. To shockbreaker used hydraulic diameter 4 cm, which is used on the car door.

Because funsgi shock just to go up and down the body, then add the shock Donny placed under the saddle near the bay front shield. Functions, in addition to compress and rebound adjust, as well as to stabilize the body. To operate the water-sus, using two buttons placed at the center stabilizer.

Another breakthrough from Donny, consider the shock front. He dared to adopt a monoshock. "The work itself using the pipe and the model as in Vespa," he explained. In order for a custom look, the fiber was wrapped and given the chrome.

Not only that. Look at the lights. Home disposable Honda Airblade and mica lamps have an advantage, the inside-custom disposable projector models from the headlights. Meanwhile, LED lights dusk already apply.

As for the behind the creation of 73 motors. Pointy shape following the stern line with multi-LED lights. There is also the brake lights and Sein.

New

There aren’t even It does. But when you buy a bike from a Honda outlet you expect it to work and ride like a normal motorcycle. The Honda script appears only on the keyfob, perhaps in an attempt to fool bystanders into thinking the Fury really is a one-off.

There’s too much wiring in the handlebar region, otherwise it succeeds. The front mudguard hugs the tyre tightly, the nine-spoke wheels look fantastic, and a lot of attention has been paid to achieving an uncluttered appearance that many one-off custom builders fail to achieve. Stylistically it’s a bona fide chopper, with an absurdly raked-out fork angle, high headstock, space above the engine huge enough to poke your head through, and a perfectly sculpted fuel tank that’s both delicate and elegant, if inevitably rather small at 2.7 gallons. The fact that the Fury comes from the most conservative and mainstream of the Japanese factories makes it arguably the most radical motorcycle we’ve seen for being.

Reckon the bikes ridden by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper in Simple Criterion. For the uninitiated, “chopper” is a derivative term for a bike with a long wheelbase, superfluous-long forks, high bars and low seat. The Fury is a full-on chopper, the sort of thing you might see rolling out of the workshop of the tediously feuding Teutuls of Orange County Choppers (purveyors of some of the world’s most acclaimed custom motorcycles) except the mass-produced Honda is far better made. In fact I’m still open to persuasion.

It took me a long time to choose what I plotting of Honda’s new Fury. When it’s made by a conservative mainstream manufacturer from Japan.  When is a custom bike not a custom bike?

The Best

Low Seat - The Fury's super-low 26.7-inch seat height is an integral design element that fits in behind the slim and long fuel Unique Wheels and Tires - A fat 200-series rear tire is paired with a slim 21-inch front tire, both wrapped around distinctive alloy wheels. Shaft Final Drive - The shaft final drive is quiet, clean, and has been uniquely integrated into the overall design. Exhaust - The Fury's engine features specially designed camshafts that also add to the unique V-twin sound and power-pulse exhaust sensations. It's functional too, delivering smooth ride quality and responsive handling.

High Tensile Steel Frame The Fury's high-tensile steel frame is the centerpiece to this machine's open, minimalist, chopper styling. Fuel Injection Forget about fiddling with a choke the Fury's fuel-injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes. Features 1300cc V-twin Engine Powerful 1312cc, 52-degree V-twin engine with a single-pin crankshaft and dual balancers has plenty of torque, and the feel only a V-twin can deliver. 2011 Honda Fury VT1300CX Features New for 2011, Pearl White and Matte Orange Metallic colors join Dark Red Metallic. And that’s why we’ve got an armful of cool, classic chopper-style accessories to help get you started.

Wanting to add your own personal touch to your Fury is a given. Unleash your inner Fury. If you’re looking for the buzz on this bad machine, then look no further than Facebook,YouTube, and Twitter, and see what the world is saying about the Fury. It’s all the rage. You won’t find a V-twin more righteous than the Fury’s, a 52º, 1312cc brute, putting out heaps of power and torque and a sound that is pure V-twin soul. The Beast Within.

2011 Honda VT1300CX

Call it the perfect marriage of style and substance  But like all Hondas, the 2011 Honda Fury VT1300CX is also a showcase of engineering, boasting innovative features like Programmed Fuel Injection, custom cast wheels, specially designed shaft drive, and, of course, that monster 1312cc V-twin. A Masterpiece of Form and Function Make no mistake, the 2011 Honda Fury VT1300CX is all about the way it looks, sounds and feels—and the way all these sensations make you feel when you’re riding it. Ever. And once you’ve saddled up and fired that big 1312cc V-twin, and felt its throbbing pulse beneath you, you’ll know you’ve experienced a motorcycle like none other.

Long, lean and mean, stretching nearly six feet from axle to axle, this machine literally screams with chopper style. the most distinctive custom Honda has ever created. Who would have ever thought it possible? Yet despite the extreme lines and head-turning looks, the 2011 Honda Fury VT1300CX is backed up with the same fit and finish, functionality, affordability, quality and reliability built into every Honda.

Here Honda have the rolling incarnation of the pure, undiluted chopper essence, a machine that simply looks right, sounds right and goes straight to the heart of radical enthusiasts. Yet it's a Honda, through and through.  The 2011 Honda Fury VT1300CX appears to be something from the farthest fringes of the two-wheeled world.

BMW HP2 Sports bikes

2011 BMW HP2 Sport

BMW HP2 Sport. Throttle up. Blast off.

With a staggering 130 horsepower, the HP 2 Sport features the most powerful Boxer engine ever designed by BMW Motorrad. For the first time ever, double overhead camshafts are included in our famous opposed twin cylinder motor, kicking out even more revs. Making the HP2 Sport even more track-ready is new Quickshifter technology, which means faster gear changes without having to chop the throttle or use the clutch. Add a fully adjustable Ohlins sport front and rear suspension, Radial mounted Brembo Monobloc brakes, a lightweight carbon fiber aerodynamic fairing, not to mention forged racing wheels and tires and a MotoGP-inspired cockpit that computes lap times and other racing data, and the result is one of the most advanced sport bikes to ever scorch the tarmac.

Outstanding race results are inexorably linked with BMW Motorrad’s flat twin “Boxer” models. So it is an obvious step to build a high-end version! The result is the BMW HP2 Sport: the uncompromising realisation of the 24-Hour Endurance racer as a road machine. 100 per cent motor racing genes, licensed for the road. An exclusive sports machine by BMW Motorrad for motor racing connoisseurs and 2-cylinder enthusiasts which puts racing expertise into serial production – with power and authenticity. With an incredible air/oil-cooled 98 kW (133 bhp) and 115 Nm – a unique performance for a serial production “Boxer”!

2011 BMW HP2 Sport Features
When BMW Motorrad presented the BMW HP2 Sport in autumn 2007, a dream came true for many boxer fans. Not only is the BMW HP2 Sport still the sportiest and most powerful series production flat twin of all time tailored to meet the needs of ambitious two-cylinder sports riders – its numerous exclusive details used up to now only in motorsports which entered series production for the first time on the HP2 Sport are truly fascinating.
Now BMW Motorrad is following up with the road-licensed “HP2 Sport Motorsport” special model.

The HP2 Sport achieved numerous successes in scores of races all over the world in the past 3 years, among other things with the BMW Motorrad Works Team in selected Endurance World Cup races. The racing boxer took part in renowned 24-hour classics such as Le Mans or Bol d'Or.

Like the factory machines the fairing, fuel tank, seat bench, front mudguard and engine spoiler are painted in the BMW Motorsport colours Alpine White, Lupine Blue metallic and Magma Red. The forged aluminium wheels are in Lupine Blue metallic at the front and Alpine White at the rear. In addition this exclusive special edition with the green and black start number areas on the seat body as well as the factory sticker set is visually very close to the successful BMW Motorrad Motorsport works motorcycle.

The HP2 Sport Motorsport has the same technical basis as the HP2 Sport launched in 2007. The flat twin engine equipped with double overhead camshafts and high-engine-speed capable cam followers used for valve operation delivers 98 kW (133 hp) at 8750 rpm. Maximum torque is 115 Nm at 6000 rpm, maximum engine speed being 9500 rpm.

The stainless steel exhaust system runs underneath the engine and generates the inimitable throaty boxer sound from a silencer which is aerodynamically well placed under the seat bench.

A further exclusive racing feature is the shift assistant in conjunction with the closely synchronised gearbox which permits fast upshifting without having to operate the clutch or stop accelerating. In order to reverse the shift pattern for motorracing if required, a respective substitution pressure sensor is available as an option.

The equipment and suspension of the BMW HP2 Sport Motorsport also features motorracing technology. The spring elements of the Öhlins sports suspension are fully adjustable and a Brembo braking system with radially bolted monoblock four-piston fixed callipers ensures optimum deceleration even in tough motorracing conditions.

Optimum ergonomics are ensured by the adjustable foot rest system, the cast aluminium adjustable handlebar ends as well as the radial-hand Magura instruments. The standard 2D dashboard, which stems directly from MotoGP racing, provides the rider with conventional information as well as with lap times and further motorsports relevant data.

Lightweight construction was a major factor in designing all components. This not only includes the self-supporting front fairing and the self-supporting rear made of carbon or the weight-optimised forged wheels, but also hidden details such as the lightweight generator used in motorsports.

With a dry weight of only 178 kilograms (199 kg fully fuelled according to the DIN norm), the BMW HP2 Sport Motorsport provides playful handling and great motorsports potential, be it on country roads or on the racetrack.

As an option BMW Motorrad offers ABS especially adapted for sports use. An additional pressure sensor in the front brake circuit permits more sensitive brake regulation and prevents the control unit from releasing the front brake too early when weight is taken off the rear wheel suddenly. The ABS can also be deactivated for racetrack use.

The HP2 Sport Motorsport is now available for order and limited to 400 units

Modification of Raider

SUZUKI RAIDER EXTREEME MODIFICATION

No more powerful features of the 2003 Suzuki Raider. Starting from the front to rear, this bike has changed completely. Instead the result so extreme, with some elements of the technology changes. Like condoms tank lid can be opened using keys, that one is a teroboson. At the very least, a breakthrough modifications in Pontianak, West Kalimantan.

Home modifications Irfandi from Pontianak in 2XP "Equator City" made a bold move. Consider the attached seat on the house from the original exhaust Ducati 969. Meanwhile, the bottom-distance with the wheels still empty. "Indeed, the design was not able to fit," said Irfandi.

Plus the arm (swing arm) are large and sturdy, while the framework for and the seat is thin, the harmonization was a little disturbed. "In the arm, I use the pro arm of Honda NSR SP and condoms to be given greater," explained Irfandi.

To the top, using a subframe which modifikator is knock down because he wanted to make a long tail. If you get bored, then it could be dismantled extra-pair. To integrate additional context, he uses the L bolt size of 8 mm 6 pieces. "In addition to booster seats, it also became a kind of bracket for the exhaust," said senior modifikator.

SUZUKI RAIDER EXTREEME MODIFY

Realized there was a wide cavity, he cut back by adding exhaust Ducati 969. Another thing if a minimoto sokbreker position in Australia was not too collapsed. For each, he wore a Honda CBR150 for more tender than the original.

Also interesting, given condoms tank-lid can be opened by pressing the button. According to Irfandi, he uses the power window car fitted with a small shock. By pressing once, the condom could be opened up to 45 degrees.

Concept Cars: Yamaha MT-OS

First seen at the 2005 Paris Motor Show the Yamaha MT-OS is based on a Yamaha MT-O1 - an impressivley unique bike in its own right. The GK designed MT-OS uses the same 89 bhp 1670cc engine as the MT-01.

Concept Cars: Victory Vision 800

The Victory Vision 800 concept was shown at the 2005 Long Beach (California) International Motorcycle Show.

The Victory Vision 800 is a true concept bike, designed to show just how radical Victory can think. Victory, a division of Polaris ATV's has no intention of producing the Vision 800, but the design is important nonetheless.

The Vision 800 is powered by an 800 cc flat parallel twin, running through a continuously variable transmission, (CVT) connected to an exposed shaft drive incorporated into the single-sided swing arm.

Victory's traditional cruiser style riding position appears on the Vision 800 with the use of long running boards and the lack of any foot controls. Presumably the lack of a clutch, or gears, allows the rear brake to be relocated to the handlebars.

The extreme, front end bias, bulky nose houses storage for two helmets, or anything else, while providing wind protection for the rider. This is in sharp contrast to the short and stubby tail section.

Concept Cars: Norton Nemesis

The Norton Nemesis uses a 1497cc water cooled 60° V-8 engine making a staggering 235bhp, which is mated to a 6 speed gearbox. The Nemesis's organically shaped body is constructed from lightweight carbon fibre.

Concept Cars: Kawasaki ZZR-X

The Kawasaki ZZR-X concept was first shown at the 2003 Milan Motorcycle Show. The ZZR-X was billed as a high speed tourer, but its ingenuity lies in the adjustable riding mode mechanisms which allows the rider to adjust the ZZR-X to suit road conditions and riding styles.

The Kawasaki ZZR-X can be changed to suit low speed touring, with raised screen and protective fairing, all the way up to full-on sport mode, where the screen and fairing move into their most aerodynamic position.

The fairing also changes shape depending on speed, modifying its shape to the optimum profile.

The Kawasaki ZZR-X concept has other clever design solutions, including; radical cone-shaped, rim-mounted disk brakes designed for maximum cooling efficiency, a mass-centralised fuel tank, a large storage space in front of the seat, and a silencer built into the curvaceous bodywork.

Concept Cars: Dodge Tomahawk

The insane potential widowmaker Dodge conceived and subsequently named the Tomahawk was first seen in 2003 at the Detroit Auto Show. The bike is powered by the same 500 hp 8.3 litre V-10 found in the legendary Viper, and is capable of propelling the concept up to 300 mph+, theoretically. However in practice the poor aerodynamics of the bike would cause it to become unstable at high speeds and it would be suicidal to try.

Dodge produced the Tomahawk concept to hammer home its power orientated design philosophy, which encompasses cars such as the Viper, Magnum SRT-8 and Hemi Super 8 among others, it was never intended for mass production.

Dodge sold a very limited number of Tomahawks as rideable pieces of modern art to a select few of rich enthusiasts.

Overall the design of the Dodge Tomahawk is one of clean machined lines housing the massive, partially exposed engine and 4 oversize wheels.
