Global debut for CBR500R with new styling at AIMExpo
Global debut for CBR500R with new styling at AIMExpo
American Honda Motor Company, Inc. will exhibit the new CBR500R sport model in its world debut at AIMExpo (American International Motorcycle Expo), an international motorcycle show that will be held in Orlando, Florida from October 15th to 18th, 2015.
As a mid-class model in Honda's CBR series lineup, the new CBR500R will appeal to a wide variety of riders, including the riders moving up, entry-level riders, and veteran riders seeking casual and comfortable riding. Featuring new styling with its “DNA" inherited from the CBR1000RR, the series' flagship model, the CBR500R's muffler has a new shape, evolving into a more stylish model that lets the rider enjoy more pleasant exhaust sounds.
<Key features of the CBR500R>
“Aggressive Speed Shape” is its styling concept, and the new CBR500R is equipped with a new LED dual headlight. From the striking, more forward-slanted front face to the rear area designed as if it's swinging up with a new LED tail lamp, the overall form and edgy character lines give expression to a dynamic flow in the wind.
The new irregular shaped cross-section muffler's internal structure has been changed to achieve further mass concentration, generating crisp exhaust sounds, accenting the low tones.
The newly designed, larger-capacity fuel tank also has a hinged fuel cap, improving user-friendliness when refueling.
The front suspension is equipped with a preload adjuster system.
The brake lever adjustment mechanism assures good fit in the hands of a wide range of riders.
Launch of the CBR500R is planned for 2016 in the U.S. The regions with sales planned include North America, Europe, Asia and Japan (CBR400R).

16YM HONDA CRF1000L Africa Twin
New model:Inheriting the “go anywhere” spirit of its celebrated predecessors, the all-new CRF1000L Africa Twin packs an innovative and powerful parallel twin-cylinder engine into a lightweight, agile chassis ready for true adventure both on and off road, whether crossing continents or commuting. In addition to the standard model, two further versions are available: the first with switchable rear ABS and multiple mode Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), and the second equipped with Honda’s unique Dual Clutch Transmission (featuring new off-road functionality), switchable rear ABS and HSTC.

1. Introduction
The essential features of an adventure motorcycle - strong engine, tough chassis with long travel suspension, upright riding position and wide handlebars - ensure its usability whatever the terrain. This practicality has been key to the popularity of these machines: they are easy to ride, comfortable and adaptable, at home on the road whether touring mountain passes and highways, or filtering through jammed city streets. And when the desire for a true adventure takes hold, they’re capable of traversing great swathes of distance after the tarmac runs out.
Throughout the development of the CRF1000L Africa Twin, the search for the optimal blend of off-road performance, touring comfort and agility was a constant theme. One motorcycle consistently impressed with its usability, poise and handling both on road and in the dirt: the original XRV750L Africa Twin. It proved a worthwhile benchmark when set against today’s myriad choice of adventure bikes. The machine that now bears its name may share no common part with the old model but - on road or off-road - it inherits to the full the essence and spirit of what made the XRV750L Africa Twin so popular.
Mr Y. Hasegawa, Series Large Project Leader (S-LPL) CRF1000L Africa Twin:
“From the outset of designing and engineering our new Africa Twin, we wanted to create a full-scale true adventure motorcycle that was equally enjoyable and capable in crossing vast continents as it was on the highway and in everyday use. The legacy and performance of the previous model was a significant reference point in our thinking and after many satisfying months of research work, testing, development and riding, our CRF1000L has off-road ability that makes dirt roads a joy to tackle, with the comfort of a tourer and agility of a commuter. In other words, a model truly worthy of inheriting the Africa Twin name.”
2. Model Overview
It all starts with the engine, which has to perform in off-road situations as well as on-road long-range touring, and all points in between. The CRF1000L Africa Twin’s 998cc parallel twin power plant draws heavily on Honda’s CRF250R/450R competition machines, using the same four-valve Unicam head design for compact overall dimensions.
Strong and linear power and torque deliver instant response anywhere in the rev-range - accompanied by a satisfying, characterful deep growl as rpm rises. A 270° phased crankshaft gives the power delivery a distinct character as well delivering excellent feel for rear wheel traction. Biaxial primary balance shafts cancel vibration.
The semi-dry sump engine’s short height contributes to the CRF1000L Africa Twin’s 250mm ground clearance. It also uses clever packaging of componentry to both dynamic and aesthetic effect. The water pump is housed within the clutch casing, and both water and oil pumps are driven by the engine’s balancer shafts.
The lightweight six-speed manual gearbox uses the same shift-cam design as found on the CRF250R/450R to ensure positive changes and is equipped with an aluminium assist slipper clutch.
In addition to the standard model, two further versions are available: the first with ABS and multiple mode Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), and the second equipped with Honda’s unique Dual Clutch Transmission (featuring new off-road functionality), ABS and HSTC. On ABS-equipped models, it is possible for the rider to turn off the ABS system for the rear brake, allowing the rider to lock the rear wheel when riding off-road. There are four levels of control to choose from the Honda Selectable Torque Contol: Level 1, 2, 3 and Off. The degree of intervention decreases as the levels rise, allowing increasing amounts of rear wheel spin.
The unique DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) version features the standard manual mode - allowing the rider to operate gear shifts through triggers on the left handlebar - and two automatic modes. D mode offers the best balance of fuel economy and comfort cruising whilst S mode has been revised to give extra levels of sports performance, with three different shift patterns to choose from.
Of course, for the CRF1000L Africa Twin, DCT is also fully equipped to operate in an off-road environment and off-road functionality is enhanced by the G button. Pushing the G button in any riding mode modifies the control of the clutch system to give a more direct drive.
The CRF1000L Africa Twin’s semi-double cradle steel frame provides the perfect balance of high-speed stability - while fully loaded - matched to genuine off-road ability by combining sheer strength with flexibility. Mass centralization - with items like the battery packaged at the rear of the cylinder head - contributes to a low centre of gravity and aids agility.

Dreams Interpretation - Motorcycle
Efforts! Efforts! Efforts!
In order to ride a motorcycle, you have to put in a lot of your efforts. Unless you use your hands and legs, you just can’t give a direction to the motorcycle. Even if you are sitting on an automatic motorcycle, you’ve still got to put in your efforts to make it take you wherever you wish to go.
Similarly, when you dream of riding a motorcycle, it means that you have put in all the efforts that you could. Now, the time has come for you to ask for all the results of those hard working tasks that you did for the goal.
Dreaming of riding a motorcycle depicts your eagerness to succeed. Faster the speed of the motorcycle in your dream, quicker is the speed of success in your waking life.
If you dream of getting into a motorcycle race and you have a business in your waking life, it depicts the race with your competitors in the market. If you win the race in the dream, it means that you are going to succeed and be way ahead of all of your competitors. However, if you lose the race, you may have to struggle harder in your business to make it work.
Symbolism:
Motorcycle represents speed, need for speed, actions, efforts, success, achievements and competition.
Dreaming of a motorcycle can be a very pleasant one at times, especially if you like riding bikes. You are pretty close to your goal, if you dream of happily riding the bike.
If you are sitting behind someone who is driving the motorcycle for you in your dream, it indicates support. Someone is always there, watching you and helping you in all the ways that he can, in your waking life.
Most Common Motorcycle Dreams:
• Flying with the motorcycle - If you dream of riding a motorcycle in the sky and you fear doing the same, it means that you are putting your efforts in something you are not confident in.
• Riding the motorcycle with your partner - Such a dream strengthens the bond between two people, especially if they are happy together in the dream.
• Repairing the motorcycle - Such a dream means that you are finding it difficult to give your best to the current project you have in your hands.

BMW NOW OFFERS ABS PRO RETROFIT TO OLDER S 1000 RR MODELS

bmw offers abs pro retrofit to older s1000rr
After offering its ABS Pro option as a retrofit for the HP4 back in October of last year, BMW is now offering the cornering ABS system as a retrofit option for the older 2012 - 2014 model S 1000 RR as well.
Ever since Bosch created its Motorcycle Stability Control system ABS that detects both lean angle and pitch of the motorcycle and allows the ABS to function in cornering situations, it was basically not if but when the system would make its way to sportbikes. BMW quickly made its own version of the system called ABS Pro, and offered it as a retrofit option for the HP4 back in October of last year. It didn't take long for it to become a factory option with some of BMW's newer machines like the S 1000 XR, and R 1200 GS and GS Adventure, as well as standard equipment on the big K 1600 GT/GTL tourer.
The ABS Pro system utilizes lean angle sensors to tailor the brake pressure properly even when aggressively applying the brakes in a corner. Much of its effect is centered around the initial brake pressure application; as lean angle is increased, the brake pressure gradient (meaning the rise in brake pressure over a period of time) is increasingly limited. This not only helps prevent wheel lockup, but also helps to prevent abrupt changes in steering force and chassis attitude that can also result in the bike wanting to "stand up" aggressively in a corner during a panic braking situation.
Curiously, the system was absent from the S 1000 RR lineup. But since most of the hardware was already in place, BMW is now making the ABS Pro available as a retrofit option to the 2012 to 2014 model S 1000 RR (the 2015 and 2016 model retrofits are in the works, so if you got a recent model you'll need to wait). The retrofit to the 2015 model includes the Race riding mode that features a much higher wheel slip threshold and brake pressure gradient for roads with a higher level of grip compared to the Rain and Sport modes. Cost of the retrofit on US models hasn't been released yet, although in Europe, it ranges from €420 - €460 (approximately $472 - $517).
