Moto Guzzi Breva 1100


The Breva 1100 is a comfortable “naked” whether you are alone or have a passenger. Like all Moto Guzzis it is rock solid and seems like a 21st century version of an idea by Carlo Guzzi: To build a motorbike for all, using technology to ensure comfort, ease of riding, reliability and a long life. All of this would of course have to lie beneath an attractive exterior with clean lines that form an unmistakeable style. The beauty of the Breva 1100 doesn’t hide but enhances its high-tech soul. The jutting cylinder heads and the bulk of the Moto Guzzi patented shaft drive system only add to its beauty.

New Yamaha YZF R15 | Review, Pictures & Specification (150cc Bik





Much awaited Yamaha's YZF - R15, a 150 cc is finally out on Indian roads. The bike today announced by Yamaha Motor Pvt. Ltd. contains true Yamaha Racing DNA. The bike, Super Sports Yamaha R15 is expected to set all new standards in design and performance in bike Industry of India.



Machine, ie. the bike has technology percolated from R1. This YZF - R15 has many firsts to its credit on Indian road including first liquid cooled engine, 4 valve fuel injected engine etc. The YZF R15 is powered by 149.8cc Fuel Injected liquid cooled engine producing 17bhp with maximum torque of 15 Nm at 7500rpm; which makes it like the most powerful bike under 200cc range. Yamaha YZF R-15 boasts 6 speed gearbox with optimized gear shift ratio so expect a smoother ride.
The bike will be priced at Rs 97,425 ex-showroom (All India).

The bike was recently showcased on Race Track on Chennai. Bike was impressive and attractive. We will now talk about various aspects of the bike one by one.



Looks and Design

If you are not a bike enthusiast but still have some interest in bikes even then you will Yamaha YZF R15. And if you happen to be a person who is little aware about bikes around the world then you sure know that we have a DNA of Yamaha YZF- R1 on Indian roads. The bike is directly derived.. rather say inspired from R1. Just to add here, Yamaha YZF R1 is globally acclaimed and has a fair respect around the world. So Yamaha, by introducing / developing a bike derived from R1 is like giving Indians what they want. Indian bike market is still in initial stage. So giving R15 is like giving taste of international standards and styling to Indians but on the cost which is in their reach. When I say that design is inspired from R1 then there is really nothing much left to say as we know about the success and design of R1 very well, however, in layman's language, bike has stunning looks. Company says that they have a "R" characteristic in their design which is adopted in R15 too.

From company's website explaining about their R factor : "“Harmony between rider and machine.” YAMAHA's Human Technology involves studying the form of the motorcycle actually in motion with the rider on it. The R series is the embodiment of
1) a wide frontal space that protects the rider,
2) an easy to ride seating area that gives riders the freedom of movement and allows them to steer effectively,
3) the glamorous tail treatment that takes into account the management of airflow behind the rider, and
4) a sensual racing form that brings all 3 of these elements together in a harmonious package. "

Starting from the headlamp, the R15 dual sharp head lamps clearly reflect the yamaha R1 in it. However, it still manages to distinguish easily from R1.

Yamaha R1 Headlamp
So you may see that right from the beginning they had R1 DNA in their mind. However the R15 is not scaled down version of R1 and it is clearly distinguished from R1. The R15 has more practical design as per Indian perspective. They made sure that bike looks international as well usable in India perspective too. The bike has some good details, however they adopted it to be more curvy than having sharp design of R1. Side cowl ar impressively designed to cover small engine (150 cc) of R15 and nicely placed. However, engine would have looked even better if it was body colored or black.

The bike sports digital console and speedometer. Tyres are tubeless.

Riding position is all sporty. One would feel sporty the moment you take seat on bike. As hot now a days, the bike sports split rear grab rail. Looks cool. However, real side indicators could have been more sporty. They just look so basic and give little feel of out of theme. May be because of little simple back of R15 as compared to its front. But overall, it makes decent impression.


Engine

The Yamaha YZF R15 is powered by 149.8cc Fuel Injected liquid cooled engine producing 17bhp with maximum torque of 15 Nm at 7500rpm. So consider it as return of evil that we had once saw many years back in Yamaha's bike and for which Yamaha was famous in India. I still see that people rework on old Yamaha bike and use them even they are out of production because they remember and like that power image of Yamaha.

R15's engine is liquid cool, its first in India in bikes. The technology is widely used in four wheelers etc but its hardly their in bikes of this niche. Being a liquid cool engine, it ensure better even on power ride and on long ride. So bike has a small radiator in it. Moreover, being liquid cooled, it also helps in reducing engine noise so deliver even smoother ride.

Engine of Yamaha YZF R15

Also, Yamaha has implemented new DiASil Technology which makes engine more efficient in power handling. DiASil Cylinders are all-aluminum cylinders made by YAMAHA’s proprietary aluminum die casting technology. An aluminum alloy with 20% silicon content is used to create a very hard, reliable cylinder surface, making conventional iron sleeves obsolete. As a result, the entire cylinder can be made of aluminum, a better conductor of heat, which means the cylinder delivers better heat dissipation and less weight. (Aluminum’s heat conductivity is 3.1 times that of iron.)

And the piston used in R15 are made in a forging process, its a Yamaha's own proprietary "Controlled Forging" which makes piston lighter and thinner yet more usable.

Engine uses Fuel injecting technology with 3 ltr air duct and providing improved combustion ability hence efficiency.

Overall, engine is power packed and highly optimized. Surely gonna make you rock.


Chassis and Suspension

YZF-R15 is equipped with a linked type monocross suspension that delivers a comfortable ride and a cushioning performance that is less prone to bottoming out. In particular, it reduces annoying “sinking” when riding tandem. And the Chassis is derived from their experience of MotoGP and they call it Delta box frame. Company describes it as :
" This type of frame is currently used in YAMAHA’s R series of sport models. The engine is mounted on rigid supports; one on the head side and two on the case side; so that the engine itself becomes a structural member contributing to body strength and rigidity. The engine’s low vibration makes rigid supports possible, ensuring low vibrations and excellent balance of rigidity."


Mileage

As a performance bike, do not expect a decent mileage, being a 150 cc bike , only expect 35kmpl to 45kmpl of mileage.

Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme Kick Start



The bike has very little resemblance to the old CBZ, the headlights got a completely new design. However, new looks is a little small for a bike of this size. The first thing that one would notice in this bike is the indicator lights. Both the back and front indicators merge with the main lights and it looks really nice and unique. The side part of the bike also got a significant face lift. The coloured body part connects as a single line from the tank to the tail lights and is very nicely contoured. Another feature which adds to its cool looks is the grip handle bars for the pillion rider… standing out as two individual horn like bars, it adds to the uniqueness of CBZ. Also the silencer is new and improved. Other things which adds to its beauty are: tubular diamond-frame type chassis with a single down tube and a box-section swing arm, matt-black powder-coated engine block, matt-black alloy wheels, Black plastic lower side panels striped across by a shiny chrome sash, split hand grips for the pillion rider with a distinct look. Additional Teflon coat over visible silvery surfaces, a strip of clear glass above the headlamp conceals the parking lamp or pilot lamps positioned above the headlight, body coloured rear mirrors adds colour to the handlebar area. Classy, brushed-steel console finish and further rugged knee recesses built into the large, shapely fuel tank with Xtreme's logo emblazoned across its sides, aircraft type fuel tank lid, deeply contoured seat. This is bike is provided with non-metallic bright colours. The dash board has 3 dials, one for the speedometer, one for the rpm indicator and another for the fuel indicator… all of them descend in the order of the size. The shock absorbers do not have the Gas shock absorber unit as it is advertised in Hunk and other bikes. It has the Advanced Microprocessor Ignition (AMI)System. Tail lamp cluster has a segmented stop-and-brake light section with turn indicators built into a single unit.

Engine

Hero  Honda CBZ Xtreme Kick Start engine view Picture The old CBZ had a 156 cc engine, but did not have the pickup and mileage as that of the present engine. Definitely Hero Honda has made some improvement in the engine for this new CBZ Xtreme. The new bike has the powerful windscreen. The maximum power is 10.6 KW @ 8500 rpm and maximum torque id of 12.80 N-m @ 6500 rpm. It is very sensitive and the engine responds even for the slightest twist. Even though it is just 150 cc, the pickup is quite good in comparison to other bikes.
The CBZ boasts a 5 speed gear box with the usual 1 down, 4 up gear shift pattern and a 156 cc engine that generates 12.8 bhp (9.5 kW) power. The clutch is smooth and gears can be shifted with the slightest effort in the foot. The front wheel has a 240 mm disc break and rear wheel has a 130 mm Internal Expanding Shoe. This feature is also the main thing which prove it a sporty and safe bike. The bike is however worthy of the CBZ name due to its pickup and performance. In fact, CBZ xtreme is a powerful 150 cc bike in the country with 14.4Ps. Extremely good suspension built with the fast moving solo rider in mind as front telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and rear swing arm with adjustable hydraulic shock absorber. Powerful high beam builds safety for the night rider. The large speedometer, smaller tachometer, and fuel gauge can be read quickly and easily. Tinted cowl improves aerodynamics and cuts the glare on the bike's instrumentation. The design of the bike provide relaxed and comfortable riding and the upright posture doesn't strain wrists. The engineers of the company kept tall riders in mind and made it with generous knee recesses built into the fuel tank and well placed footrests for the pillions. Forward leaning position enhances effortless braking. The 240 and 130mm disc brake is highly efficient and gives instant response. New brake pedal has a little toe guard for the big toe and a all-chrome tab to press on. Wide 100/90 low aspect ratio rear tyre for additional road grip and safety. Puncture resistant tuff up tube increase reliability of performance. The CBZ Xtreme has the best gearbox in its class, smooth and free from problems.

Acceleration

The top speed is 11.9 kmph. The engine feels very smooth and revs willingly without any vibrations. Braking 60 kmph (meters) 23.6

Hero Honda Karizma ZMR PGM Fi


Appearance In order to provide the new avatar of Karizma a stunning look, it seem the engineers of the company worked hard. At the first look, the full front fairing will surely attract you. And why not, the fairing comes in body colour and has dashing graphics. ZMR logo is bold and catch the eye. This new version possesses big mask that houses new headlamp and rear view mirrors mounted on the front fairing. Yes, this is copied from Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i and Yamaha R15. However, the rear view mirror are having the black shade. A large black tinted arrow shaped wind screen is fitted on the top of the hood. Turn indicators are placed at the fairing. The instrument panel sports digital display. This comes in a very new shape. Speedometer, tachometer, tripmeter and other indicators look amazing on the console. New graphical work is quite visible in white and yellow body colour. But the graphics looks dim at red body colour. The seat is wide enough and raised a little up for the pillion for the sake of sporty look. The new beast is equipped with LED tail lamp that saves battery. A new style rear mud guard is fitted at the machine. The muffler has black treatment with a same colour heat shield. Engine The PGM FI version of Hero Honda Karizma is powered by the same mill that comes with carb Karizma. However, the engineers of the firm did a good job by taking more power and torque from the same power train. The Karizma ZMR's engine is 4 Stroke, Fuel Injection, OHC with the displacement of 225cc. The powertrain develops a maximum power of 17.6 bhp at 7000 rpm and a maximum torque of 18.35 Nm at 6000 rpm. The power figure is .6 bhp more while torque is very much same. The beast sports 5 Speed gearbox that follow the one down, four up pattern. The programmable fuel injection technology helps to increase power and higher peak speed. This time the machine is blessed with oil cooled technology. Karizma also sports a maintenance free battery that ensure better starting in bad weather. The programmable fuel injection technology system is incorporated with 16 bit ECU, a 12 hole fuel injector and 6 high-tech sensors to scan the engine operating parameters like air pressure, air temperature, and engine temperature to ensure the optimum air / fuel ratio under dynamic conditions. The bike has self and kick start option that is useful when the battery turns down. Acceleration The company claims a top speed of 126kmph. But this is not enough to give stiff competition to Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i which has a top speed of 144 kmph. On the other hand power and torque figures are also remained low as against the Bajaj Pulsar 220. Karizma ZMR can achiever 0-60 kmph in just 3.70 seconds. Fuel Efficiency For enhanced fuel economy, the Karizma ZMR is equipped with the Programmable fuel injection technology. The carburator version of Karizma gives 40 kmpl in city and around 46 kmpl on highways. The fuel tank capacity of the machine is 16 litres while it has 2.5 litres of reserve. The bike is claimed to give around 35 kmpl of mileage in city. Colours The new sports bike comes in five attractive colours. The colours are moon yellow, pearl white, vibrant blue, panther black and sports red. The body colour is present at front fairing, side panels, airscoops and front mudguard. Rear view mirrors and grab rails are not in body colour. Rear shock absorber's swing arm is painted in red that gives the machine a trendy sports look. Available colours Are : Brakes Hero Honda Karizma ZMR PGM FI houses disc brakes at both end. The diametre of front disc brake is 276mm while rear one is smaller that is 240mm. On the other hand, its predecessor comes with only front disc brakes. Both side disc brakes means, smart barking system that can halt the bike at any speed instantly. Suspension As far as shock absorber of the machine is concerned, it houses telescopic hydraulic fork at front and gas charged shock absorber that is five step adjustable. In other words, the Karizma ZMR's gas charged fork can be adjusted in five modes according to different riding conditions. Gas charged fork ensure butter-smooth riding for the rider and passenger. Wheels and Tyres Hero Honda Karizma ZMR PGM Fi comes with five spoke alloy wheels. It possesses tubeless tyres which reduce the possibility of puncture. The wheelbase of the bike is 1350 mm. The tyre size is 80/100x18-47P (front) and 100/90x18-56P (rear). Wheel Base and Controlling This time the company has added more flesh to the tyres. The wheelbase is increased to 1350mm. While in its predecessor, the wheelbase was 1335mm. This is clear now that the stability and balance will be moer in the new version of Karizma. Let's see the controlling aspect of the machine, it sports both side disc brakes. For better handling and control, split clip on handlebars are there. Comfortness Let's talk about the comfortability of the Karizma ZMR, split up seat is there to give painless riding experience for the rider and pillion. For the conveance of the passenger, foot pegs, split grab rails and passenger foot rest is fitted. Pros Hero Honda Karizma ZMR PGM Fi is a very good looking bike in the class. Acceleration and optimum fuel consumption technology is provided. Cons The power and torque figures could be upgraded. That is found in Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i. The price tag is too much for this kind of sports bike.
