Honda VFR 1200F DCT Best Motorcycle Sport 2011

Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport The New VFR1200F : Welcome to the Revolution. From CRF/Rs to CBRs to ATVs, Honda is legendary for its innovative, breakthrough engineering and design. And nowhere is this forward-thinking stamp more indelible than on the all-new 2010 VRF1200F, a literal showcase of technological advancement that, from its inception, had but one objective in mind: to create the most complete and perfect sport riding experience ever. From nose to tail, from ergos to engine size to exhaust placement to bodywork design, there’s other machine like it. Which, of course, is exactly what you’d expect from a Honda.

Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport Radical doesn’t begin to describe the all-new 2010 VFR1200F. After they took it for their inaugural spin Cycle World called it “revolutionary.” And while that certainly describes this incredible new machine, it doesn’t begin to do it justice. The list of innovative technology is endless: the layered, MotoGP-inspired bodywork that’s literally fused in seamless perfection for optimal aerodynamics. An all-new, super-compact Unicam® design 1237cc V4 engine, fueled by Honda’s first-ever Throttle By Wire system. Combined Braking with standard ABS. But perhaps most striking of all is the game-changing Honda Dual-Clutch automatic Transmission: Six speeds, two clutches, and your choice of changing gears with a pair of F1-style paddle shifters or letting the bike shift itself. It’s a feature that has completely blown away even the most cynical magazine test rider. And if you prefer, there’s also a second version of the VFR1200F equipped with a conventional six-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch.

Honda VFR 1200F Motorcycle Sport As if the incredible new VFR1200F weren’t trick enough in its standard, manual six-speed form, this standard-setting machine also comes equipped with one of the most advanced and Formula 1-esque features to ever grace a Honda motorcycle: DCT, a.k.a. Dual Clutch Transmission. Opt for push-button six-speed “paddle-style” shifting, or go totally automatic (yep, twist the throttle and the transmission will shift itself up and down through its gears). Better still, you can choose from two modes in Automatic: “D” for regular cruising, or “S” for a sportier pace.

Harley-Davidson FXS Blackline-2011

The Blackline is a Harley-Davidson Softail pared to the bone with visual elements of the original bobber movement combined with a raw style embraced by today's young bike builders. The rear fender is bobbed high-and-tight over a slim, 144 mm tire that emphasizes an authentic hardtail profile. The rider hugs the frame on the lowest two-up seat offered by Harley-Davidson, while reaching high for the new Split Drag handlebar. The rigid powertrain allows tight packaging of the engine and frame to create a solid connection between the rider and the power that moves the Blackline.

Lean as wire, hard as iron and dark as a tar road at midnight, the new Blackline motorcycle is a Harley-Davidson Softail model pared to the bone. A rebellious creation of the Dark Custom movement, the Blackline celebrates three fundamental elements of motorcycling: mechanical beauty, internal combustion, and the long black line of the road ahead.

The Blackline balances allegiance with rebellion, discarding previous conventions of color and chrome for a Dark Custom look that’s honest, functional and attainable. Visual elements of the original bobber movement are combined with the raw, hand-hewn style embraced by today’s young builders. The Blackline throws new fuel on a fire that burns across generations, an unquenchable desire to ride.

Lean and Tight

The rear fender is bobbed high-and-tight over a slim, 144mm tire that emphasizes an authentic hardtail profile. The compact headlight and speedometer are tucked low into the wide, FX front end, and there’s just enough shine to make the black parts look blacker. Black-rimmed laced wheels complete a look that’s tough, tempered and undeniably Harley-Davidson.

The styling spotlight shines on a Big Twin engine dressed in black and silver, and on a fuel tank shaved smooth and low. Aboard the Blackline, the rider hugs the frame on the lowest two-up seat ever offered by Harley-Davidson, and reaches high for new Split Drag™ handlebars that bolt right to the top triple-clamp.

The Softail chassis utilizes rear suspension control provided by coil-over shock absorbers mounted horizontally along the frame rails below the powertrain, where they are out of sight. So while the swingarm section replicates the lines of a vintage hardtail frame, the Blackline delivers suspension performance and handling that are thoroughly modern. The internally counter-balanced Twin Cam 96B™ engine is rigid-mounted within the frame, creating a solid connection between rider and the power that moves the motorcycle to enhance the emotional experience of riding.

2011 Honda CBR250R Review

The motorcycle business has evolved a full circle at Honda. It brought the world high-tech bikes, higher-tech bikes, superbikes and then pushed the envelope to supersports, this giant punching through every barrier of motorcycle development along the way.The CBR250R reveals a mature side to this multinational company, who’s put on its thinking cap to conjure up a practical bike for daily use that’s also affordable.

Honda CBR250R

The attractively faired CBR250R looks a full-size bike. This sporty quarter-liter motorcycle resembles Honda’s VFR1200F, also sporting a mass-centralized stance. The front fairing extends down to shroud its engine bay, and a curved visor provides ample high speed wind protection, wrapping around a sporty cockpit.

Neat attention to detail is apparent in the attractive steering head region, and you get clip-ons mounted above the triple clamp. We liked the 250R’s blue backlit LCD instruments with silver trim and a compact, easily deciphered layout. An analog tachometer dominates this bay, while you also see a bold digital speedometer, in addition to odometer, trip-counter, clock, fuel and temperature readouts. Switches include all you require, while there are smart buffed-alloy levers and nice feeling palm grips, although we missed the functionality of an adjustable clutch lever.

The tank looks and feels nice thanks to perfectly sculpted knee grooves. Futuristic flank panels swoop back into a bi-color tail, split grab bars and angular brake warning light. There’s also a sharp belly pan, stubby silencer crafted from blackened stainless steel and well-defined footrests. A utility box tucks under the CBR250R’s split seats.Here's a cutaway of Honda's new 249cc, single-cylinder engine.

Honda CBR250R

Honda has developed a new 249cc, 4-stroke, dual-overhead-camshaft engine for the CBR250R. The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powerplant is fuel-injected via a twin-beam, Honda PGM-FI system.

The centrifugal cast, thin-wall cylinder sits 4mm offset from the crankshaft center towards the exhaust side to reduce friction between the cylinder and molybdenum-coated piston. There’s a textured sleeve exterior for better heat dispersion, while the combustion chamber uses pentroof architecture. An iridium spark-plug is deployed in the new engine that uses four lightweight valves propped up on slender stems. The CBR250R enjoys the world’s first roller rocker arms on any DOHC engine, with tappet clearance relying on shim adjustment.

Honda CBR250R

Peak power at the crankshaft is stated to be 25.8 hp at 8500 rpm, while a maximum torque figure of close to 16.6 ft-lb at 7000 rpm is to be expected, varying from market to market.

That reads all very well on paper, but feels more fun commanded by your own enthusiastic wrist. The engine note is pleasantly gruff yet soft. Engine revs build with a willing thrum the instant you select first, open throttle and let out the well-weighted clutch. Throttle response is crisp, the CBR250R enjoying a wide, thoroughly refined powerband even novices wont hesitate to exploit. Revs rise in a smooth, purposeful rush through an adequate low end, meeting a meaty midrange and frantic top-end rush as expected from the short-stroke powerplant.Our Indian correspondent had a chance to test out the new CBR250R on the track.

I found myself fighting to complete the up-shift to third before revs bashed into and tripped on the limiter over 10,000 rpm in second while exiting the final corner leading onto the main straight at Bira circuit, Pattaya, where we were treated to our first few laps aboard the 250R. You’ve six gears to play with, every shift feeling light and precise. The CBR is good for effortless 70-mph cruising, with the maximum speed I saw at the end of the straight being an indicated 88 mph, a little power still in hand.

Honda CBR250R

A diamond frame with steel pipe trusses holds the CBR250R together, with 37mm telescopic front suspension, a rectangle-section swingarm and 5-step adjustable Pro-link system at the rear. Wheels are 17 inches, with ample tires, a 140/70 section used at rear.

The CBR250R riding position is midway between commuter-upright and sporty, and kept my wrists stress free during this short ride. The saddle offers good padding, making this a comfortable steed. Ride quality feels plush, although this was difficult to judge on the racing circuit.

Handling is light, street-friendly and stable through the corners. The Honda doesn’t handle with the sharp edge of a more radical race replica bike. It feels softer and forgiving, sure-footed enough for the occasional track day, still essentially a comfortable motorcycle well suited to daily use.U.S. customers can choose Honda’s innovative C-ABS for an extra $500.

Honda CBR250R

Honda is offering top drawer Combined ABS front (296mm floating disc) and rear (220mm) disc brakes as an option. The combined system is calibrated to intervene and distribute brake pressure to the front and rear whenever you depress the rear brake, while the front brake lever works independently as on any motorcycle. Both ends are ABS enabled, the system modulating hydraulic pressure and preventing wheel lock in every situation.

The uphill back straight at Bira ends in a tricky chicane lurking behind a crest, and this made it a nasty habit of leaping out of nowhere into my sight at close to 80 mph with frightening regularity. That’s exactly when I felt the CBR chassis and my track abilities shimmying close to the edge, only to be rescued lap after lap thanks to the amazing brakes.

Honda CBR250R

My contribution was no more than to jump on the brakes and hang on, from where the C-ABS system took over and worked its magic without any drama. I never needed to alter my braking habits, or felt the Combined ABS system intruding on riding pleasure or brake feel. It’s a clever system that will make a pro of most novices.The practical and city-friendly CBR250R is a superbly balanced motorcycle. The 250R goes on sale in select Asian markets in the first quarter of 2011, and is poised to provide enthusiasts a stylish bike with adequate performance, street-friendly handling and advanced brakes, all at a really attractive price.
