International Motorcycle Show
At the International Motorcycle Show at Long Beach, California Friday, Mission Motors publicly displayed the Mission R for the first time.
Edward West (Mission Motors Founder) says: "We are excited to announce the Mission R, our compact and powerful factory electric racebike."
"This bike represents the culmination of all the company's learning in both electric powertrains and motorcycle engineering, and is the purest expression of electric performance."
According to Mission Motors, the Mission R produces 14.4 kilowatt/hours and 141 horsepower in a package smaller than a modern 600cc sportbike. The liquid-cooled 3-phase AC Induction motor creates 115 ft/lbs of torque at the crank from 0 to 6400 rpm, resulting in a claimed top speed of 160 mph from the single-speed machine.
The Mission R features the latest components from MissionEVT--the EV powertrain technology arm of Mission Motors. "MissionEVT components are powerful, intelligent, and efficient," according to a Mission Motors spokesman.
The Mission R utilizes a MissionEVT 100-kilowatt motor controller, with customizable regenerative braking maps and throttle maps. The Mission R chassis was designed by James Parker, and features an entirely new design for integrating and balancing the weight and volume of a large EV battery pack into a motorcycle chassis.
The volume of the batteries exceeds the volume of a fuel tank, which provided a challenge. The fairing is a new and aerodynamic industrial design by Tim Prentice of Motonium, with a small frontal-area.
The Mission R will start racing in early 2011 and will compete in the TTXGP racing series along with other races, events, and demonstrations.
Edward West says: "Racing is in our DNA. Mission Motors participated in the historic first Isle of Man TTXGP in 2009. Later that year, we went to the Bonneville Salt Flats and set an AMA Speed Record for electric motorcycles in 2009. With the help of our sponsors, including Texas Instruments and Pectel/Cosworth, we are excited to be returning to the track in 2011 with the phenomenal Mission R."
"The crucible of the racing circuit is one of the key ways we advance our technology. Pushing the envelope for what is possible with electric drive shapes not only the future of motorsports, but the future of transportation."

2010 Cosmos 4RWF and 2RWF | V8 Motorcycles

V8 Motorcycle
After working on a number of custom V8-motorcycle projects to help out friends, Amadeu Ferreira Junior decided to use his mechanical engineer background to build a V8 motorcycle for himself. He built two wild looking custom bikes based around a fuel injected 350 cubic inch engine. At the same time he started the Cosmos Muscle Bike Company not far from his home in Brazil.
The more unique of the two custom bike creations utilizes two wheels in the front and two wheels in the rear for a total of four wheels. He calls this latest custom motorcycle design the Cosmos 4RWF while the more traditional two wheel version is called the 2RWF.
Amadeu is proud of creating a custom V8 motorcycle and notes that other bike builders don't often offer competing engine packages. Amadeu feels that a certain sub-set of motorcyclist (lunatics) desire a radically powered motorcycle. They want something more than your typical big-bore V-twin. So, he decided to build these ZZ4 V8 motorcycles packed with a claimed 350hp.
The custom motorcycles will clearly be made in limited numbers. Future owners are welcomed to visit the Cosmos shop to appraise their motorcycle assembly and completion. Once finished and as part of this exclusivity, each motorcycle will be numbered and linked to the owners identify.

International Motorcycle Show
New Triumph America CEO Greg Heichelbech introduced Triumph's key new 2011 models at the International Motorcycle Show at Long Beach Convention Center in California.
Leading the way at the introduction were the new street-oriented adventure Tiger 800 and its dirt-ready brother, the Tiger 800 XC.
The Tigers 800 XC features long-travel suspension, a DOHC three-cylinder powerplant, and 21-inch front spoke wheel, the 800 XC delivers true off-road capability. The standard Tiger 800 features a motor with a smooth, broad powerband, as well as an adjustable seat height that can be as low as 31.9 inches.
Greg Heichelbech says: "The Progressive International Motorcycle Shows are a great way to share our new products with customers across the country, and Triumph is looking forward to introducing some exciting new models including the Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC adventure bikes, three new cruiser motorcycles, and the all-new Speed Triple and premium Daytona 675R sport bikes in Long Beach."
"The motorcycle shows will allow Triumph fans a chance to really check out the new models up close and personal."
The 2011 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 is seriously updated this year, and features an all-new chassis, more useable horsepower, and an aggressive restyling of its signature twin headlights.
The 2011 Triumph Daytona 675R is a race-spec version of the standard Daytona 675, and the 675R features Ohlins suspension based Triumph BE1 World Supersport factory racing bikes, Brembo mono bloc brakes, factory quickshifter, and carbon fiber bodywork. Triumph is promoting the Daytona 675R as "the ultimate track day and road bike."
Cruiser fans were not disappointed. The 2011 Thunderbird Storm is outfitted with the factory 1700 cc big bore kit (only an accessory previously), added dual headlamps recalling the 2010-and-earlier Speed Trip, aggressive drag-style handlebars, and blacked out the chrome for a hard-edged look.
Not pictures, but also shown were the 2011 America, a 865cc parallel twin-powered cruiser that gets a lower seat height and revised ergonomics this year.
Also, the new Speedmaster is described by Triumph as a "hot rod-style cruiser" that has improved ergonomics with forward controls, a lower seat height, and wider handle bars for a ride that is "muscular and empowering."

KTM PRESS RELEASE
PERFECTLY POSITIONED: THE KTM OFFROAD MODEL YEAR 2011

KTM’s Mattighofen factory in Austria has invested a huge amount of effort in developing the latest Offroad motorcycles for the 2010 season with the clear aim of improving the advantage on loose ground even more. Star of the KTM model range is the revolutionary MX1 innovation, the 350 SX-F.

The current motorsport season is well underway and the KTM factory riders have already claimed a slew of podiums on the latest “Made in Austria“ Offroaders. Now the sports brand from Austria presents the line-up of brand new motorcycles for the Model Year 2011.

With three high quality and competitive Minicycle variants for the youngest offroad enthusiasts, a total of six uncompromising Motocross motorcycles especially designed for winning races as well as eight versions of Sport Enduros, the Austrian manufacturer presents the perfect line-up for the coming season. In doing so, KTM once again underlines its leading role in the world of Offroad sports activity.

The huge amount of depth of development in the new Offroad model range extends all the way from the 50 cc two-stroke (50 SX) right up to the powerful displacement of the Enduro 530 EXC-R. In between there is a whole range of tailor-made sports machines for every type of offroad riding and for every rider profile, all absolutely true to the KTM “Ready to Race” philosophy. KTM has just the right machine, regardless of whether it’s for the ambitious hobby rider or the ruling world champion.

As well as the huge development effort that the KTM technicians have applied to the entire model range, these new motorcycles still include some very special innovations. This especially applies to the 350 SX-F, which was first exhibited last autumn. This, the first ever 350 cc bike deployed in the MX1 World Championship, has already been mastered by factory riders Antonio “Tony” Cairoli and his Red Bull KTM teammate Rui Goncalves. Cairoli not only won the premiere race for the 350 machine; after his GP victories, he is also leading the championship standings.

In addition to the unique engine concept, the MX lineup for the 2011 also includes a newly developed frame and chassis components.

The Enduro models, which have been similarly decorated with world championship titles all also profit from the massive amount of experience gathered by not less than 176 World Championship titles. This can be seen both in the feather light two-stroke versions as well as the highly modern and performance powerful four-stroke models. With significant improvements in a while range of areas as well as the extensive series equipment, these machines are prepared in the best possible way for the new racing season.

The new Motocross, Enduro and Minicycle models will be delivered to KTM dealers from June of this year.

Hawk Helmets and Bike/Motor Bike Safety

A Hawk helmet is the best protective gear you can wear while riding a motorcycle. A helmet will not only protect your head from a potential injury, but also cut down on wind noise, windblast on your face and eyes, and deflect bugs and other debris that flies through the air. It will also protect you from changing weather conditions and reduce rider fatigue.

Last but not least, wearing a Hawk helmet is a reflection of your attitude toward riding and shows that you are a responsible rider who takes motorcycle riding seriously.
The expected turn around time from one Hawk helmet to another is three years (or a crash). If you have a crash, be sure to throw the Hawk helmet out and replace it. If you have the same helmet for three years be sure to get a new Hawk then as well.

There are a number of different Hawk available. Hybrid helmets allow you to slide the chin part of the Hawk helmet upwards. It's useful for people who wear glasses or bifocals. Open faced Hawk helmets (also known as three quarter helmets) protect the ears and side of the face, but offers no chin protection.

Motorcycle Tire Changer

Introduction
Many of us do a lot of our own motorcycle maintenance and repair.  The motivations for this are varied, but cost savings is probably the number one reason.  I know it is for me!

I've been an Automotive Technician for more years than I wish to remember, and it pains me to pay anyone to perform a service or repair I should be able to do myself.

If I hadn’t been doing my own service and repairs I’m not sure I would have been able to afford the “Fine Piece of German Engineering” I have been riding for the past 130,000 miles.

It's the little things that we do ourselves that can really add up in cost savings.  One of those tasks is mounting and balancing our own tires.

When I returned to riding I was shocked at how quickly those ZR-series skins wore out.  I was used to getting 40-50,000 miles on a set of tires on my car, but only 6,000 on a set of motorcycle tires?  OUCH!

Being the frugal person that I am, I bought my first set of replacement tires over the Internet. 

I took them along with the rims and the old tires I had removed from the bike to my local dealer, who proceeded to charge me $30.00 per tire to mount and balance.  Wow, that’s $60.00 a set!

This was a two-to-three hour procedure just to travel to and from the shop, and it was only possible during their normal hours of operation, obviously.  I needed to come up with a better plan. 

After some experimentation, I found I could do the dismounting and mounting where I work on one of the automotive tire machines.  Two riding buddies and I split the cost on a balancer for home, and this paid for itself -- or my share anyway -- with the first set of tires.

But wouldn’t it be great if I could do everything at home whenever I needed to and not pay someone to scratch my rims?  No more driving the cage to work on a beautiful day or riding around with the tire and rim from my son’s Gixxer strapped onto the back seat of my K1200LT.  Thus the plan to purchase a tire mounting machine for home was hatched.

Choosing the No-Mar Motorcycle Tire Changer
A search on the Internet for motorcycle tire changers resulted in several hits for both manual and automatic/power assisted changers.  A powered automatic unit, commonly found in a professional shop, was out of the question due to its high cost.

This left me with a few products that all seemed to work in the same manner via a long bar for removing and installing the tire bead from the rim.  But my bike has painted alloy rims which can be easily scratched if clamped improperly or with jaws that have no protective treatment/covering. 

When using the machines at work I would always wrap the clamps that held the rim to the turntable with duct tape to prevent damage, which was a nuisance.

Although there were cheaper brands, I found only one motorcycle tire changer that mentioned that their clamping system and bead bar were designed specifically not to mar any wheel, and hence their name, No-Mar.

The creation of the No-Mar motorcycle tire changer was developed out of frustration by a motorcycle enthusiast tired of paying someone a bunch of money only to end up with scratched rims. 

No-Mar’s goal is to manufacture an affordable motorcycle tire changer that’s fast, easy to use and safe on ALL types of rims, including carbon fiber (see their video for special handling procedures).  They claim to continuously refine their products to make them efficient and easy to use without harming any type of rim.  And, the No-Mar motorcycle tire changer is made right here in the U.S.A.

No-Mar has several motorcycle tire changer models available, including "heavy duty" models for the more demanding environments such as a professional repair shop that replace numerous tires on a daily basis. 

I chose to go with their “Classic” model bundled in their “Ultimate II” package which includes: the Classic unit; a mount/dismount bar with replaceable plastic tips; a mounting base (with the necessary hardware to fasten it to the floor); four No-Mar spoon bars; three “helping hands”; one metal spoon bar; two types of tire lube (spray and cream); several strips of wheel weights; a tire valve stem core remover/installer/reamer/tap; a wheel balancer with a pair of large cones for hub-less wheels and an instructional CD-ROM.

One of the things I appreciated, as a prospective buyer, was the fact that No-Mar provides online videos that demonstrate the use and operation of all of their equipment. 

Changing Tires the No-Mar Way
There is a separate video for each step of the mounting, dismounting, balancing procedures and other videos covering some special situations such as stiff sidewall tires, etc.  This was extremely helpful in understanding the dimensions of the tire changer, exactly how everything worked and whether it was something I thought was worth having at home.

With two cars, two bikes, a bike lift and other assorted toys and implements in the garage, I was concerned as to just where in the heck I was going to mount this thing since they show it being bolted to the floor.  So when I came across their hitch adaptor, which allows the unit to be attached to any 2” trailer hitch receiver, I figured this was the solution. 

When needed, I could slide the tire changer into the receiver on my truck, do my tire changing and then store it out of harm's way, or maybe even hoist it overhead in the garage.  Of course, it's also possible to bolt the tire changer to the floor.  If this is the case, the tire changer can be stored by removing the lag bolts, leaving the anchors in place, and moving it into storage.

Since I already had a balancer, the fine people at No-Mar swapped out the balancer for the hitch adaptor.  Some day maybe I’ll look into bolting it down... 

Prior to purchasing the No-Mar tire changer I wondered if I could just mount it to a wood pallet with a piece of plywood nailed top.  But after using the tire changer for the first time I’m glad I didn’t rely on that method.  I discovered that it really needs to be securely fastened to something more stable.

Upon receiving and inspecting all of the components I was impressed with the quality and finish.  All of the metal parts are finished in a “7 step Silver Vein Powder Coat Finish”. 

All of the components of the motorcycle tire changer come with a one-year warranty for wear and breakage (with the exception of abuse) and a lifetime warranty on all of the plastic parts to the original owner (which is where most of the wear will be).  Sounds like a good deal to me.

Assembly of the changer was simply a matter of bolting a few pieces together with the included hardware, which was easy since I was not going to be bolting the tire changer to the floor; my plans were to use it solely on the hitch mount. 

That's it -- I was ready to tackle my first tire change.  It just so happened that “The Enterprise” (my ’99 BMW K1200LT) was in need of both front and rear tires -- perfect timing!

DUCATI FRONT FORK

OHLINS FRONT FORKS DUCATI 848 & 1098 FRONT FORK DIA 43MM, FITS STRAIGHT INTO STANDARD TOP YOKE, INCLUDES NEW CALIPER CARRIER PLATES AND BOTTOM YOKE

Ducati 848, Ducati 1098,The DNA of this front fork originates in the most prestigious race series in the world and the front fork is weight optimized as a result of that fact. Ohlins have used exclusive racing components from their R&D department to increase the performance of the front fork and a lot of work has been done concerning friction reduction. Their engineers that work on a daily basis with the top riders in the world often hear the word "feeling" and "control" when they debrief after tests and races. Ohlins wanted to pour as much of these important factors into your front fork and as a result, the new rigid design with new fork bottoms, outer and inner tubes gives you an unparalleled feedback when riding. For all of you that have your mind set on doing some serious racing, Ohlins have some really good news. The new front fork is easy to rebuild into a 130 mm stroke which we recommend if you want to go for the No. 1 spot. Ohlins have of course optimized the design so that you can easily have it maintained in a proper way and every single front fork is individually tested with an optimal setting, spring and top-out spring. The new top-cap design will send a signal to all curious spectators when you pull over next to your favourite café or local race track… it's a signal that says that the owner of the bike has made his choice to go straight for the podium. Ohlins now raise the Road & Track front fork to a new level.
