Barely millimeters wider, it is enough to up the cooling capacity and looks like…
2009 Kawasaki KX450F First Ride
…Despite the use of a larger AC generator rotor required to meet the additional power demands of the fuel-injection system, crankshaft rotational inertia and balance remains the same as this year. A new crankshaft large bearing and 2mm longer connecting-rod roller bearings are also used and said to increase…
Custom Builder Guilty Customs
…reach, and Guilty used hydraulics instead of cables so the lever action isn't as heavy. The seating geometry takes into consideration a woman's height and seating preferences, and in some cases scooped out the backbone to lower the seat height.

The retro theme is continued with rubber knee pads on the side of the petrol tank and 'competition'…

…sessions I was able to use the reference points without thinking about it too much. It really helps to judge entry speed and where you are heading through both the apex and the exit. In the past I felt I used reference points pretty well and, as it turns out, I should be using two or three times as many…

They achieved this by using the very latest controlled-fill die-casting technology, an exclusive process patented by Yamaha and first used on the YZF-R6.It offers many advantages over conventional technology and has opened up new possibilities…
Scooting Around on a Kymco Xciting 500
…seat is positively huge while being very comfortable for both rider and passenger.
