2012 BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black
 |
| 2012 BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black |
This new 2012 BMW R1200GS Adventure Triple Black has just been released by BMW.
Like the previous Triple Black edition of the standard GS, which proved very popular, the new Adventure version has a three-shade paint scheme that covers the Telelever forks, engine cases, rear frame, Paralever swingarm and cylinder head covers.
The parts of the body, the blades of the fork and the motor are Telelever color Black Metallic (Sapphire Black Metallic), ranging tones to give the Ethics all’endurona road even more individuality and particularity.
The Paralever (single arm rear) and rear frame are gray (Asphalt Grey Metallic), the cylinder head cover, always gray, has a different shade (Granite Grey Metallic), and the finish side of the aluminum tank close under this “work relief” aesthetic. To complete the contrast and color, we find the saddle in black, and Grey Rallye headlights.
The first in the range of Triple Black motorcycles, the R 1200 GS, was launched in 2010 and has proved to be very popular. The Adventure Triple Black offers the same dark colours, but also features a huge 33-litre fuel tank, a taller touring screen, spoked wheels, longer travel suspension (ideal for on and off-road expeditions) and rugged engine protection bars.
BMW’s Tony Jakeman, said: “The first Triple Black, the R1200GS, was such a hit with customers that it was only a matter of time before the Adventure Triple Black was created.
The new Adventure Triple Black is now available from dealers priced £11,730.

2012 Kawasaki KLX250S Review
2012 Kawasaki KLX250S Review
Built for both on-and off-road use, the light and nimble KLX250S is an ideal ride for dual-sporting fun. The rigors of off-road motorcycling dictate additional protection for the exposed underside of the machine, so the KLX250S comes standard with an aluminum engine guard to protect its crankcase during off-road adventures. Negotiating tight terrain also highlights another off-road reality – heat. The 43mm inverted cartridge-style front fork features 16-way adjustable compression damping and 10.0-inches of travel. Strong, 4mm-thick spokes in the 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels provide excellent rigidity for enhanced off-road durability. The KLX250S also stops hard, thanks to twin-piston calipers squeezing a 250mm semi-floating petal-shaped disc up front and a 240mm petal-shaped disc at the rear.
The latest and greatest KLX250S features unbelievable off road performance and real KLX heritage making it an awesome on or off road machine.

2012 RSV4 Factory APRC
 |
| 2012 RSV4 Factory APRC |
Aprilia are now showing the 2012 RSV4 Factory APRC at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The RSV4, currently one of the hottest, fastest superbikes on the planet, gets new colours for 2012 as well as revised engine management and a tweaked, optimised Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) package with eight-level traction control, launch control, quick shift system and wheelie control.
Created with the single-minded goal of being simply the best on the track and on the road, since its inception the 2012 RSV4 Factory APRC has astonished the world with its looks, technology and performance. The first 65° V-4 engine ever in a sports production bike, a chassis worthy of a 250 GP, Ride By Wire, multimap engine management: all these are accomplished achievements for the Aprilia RSV4, that tops unique architecture and specs with Aprilias signature excellent rideability brought to the next level.
With 180 horsepower at 12,250rpm and 115Nm of torque at 10,000rpm from its 999cc V4, the 2012 RSV4 Factory APRC remains one of the most powerful litre-class superbikes in the world. At 179 kilos dry, it’s not the lightest in its class, but with its host of high-tech electronics and superb chassis, it definitely is one of the best handling. We expect the 2012 edition to come out on top in litre-bike shootouts that are sure to happen over the next few months.
The chassis framework is completed by a top notch suspension package, the Sachs upside down fork has 43 mm diameter stanchions and offers the possibility of adjusting the spring and hydraulic compression and rebound preload. The Sachs rear shock was developed from experience learned directly on the track. It features a Piggy Back nitrogen canister (separate and mounted on the body of the unit) and adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound damping and length, allowing the height of the rear end of the bike to be altered to modify the set-up to suit different riding styles and tracks. Completing the package is a steering damper, also by Sachs, which ensures impeccable high speed stability and millimetre precision in setting the bike up for turns.
The new features introduced by the 2012 RSV4 Factory APRC in detail:
1. APRC Aprilia Performance Ride Control, the electronic management package including:
- ATC: Aprilia Traction Control automatically adjusts to different types of tyres, with 8 settings conveniently selectable while racing from a joystick on the left handlebar without turning down the throttle;
- AWC: Aprilia Wheelie Control with three settings;
- ALC: Aprilia Launch Control, for use on the track only, with 3 settings;
- AQS: Aprilia Quick Shift, for ultra-fast shifting without closing the throttle or using the clutch.
2. Dual display mode for instrument panel display: ROAD and RACE;
3. New exhaust is lighter and offers improved performance;
4. Optimised gear ratios for the utmost track performance;
5. Improved engine lubrication;

2012 Kawasaki Z1000 Specs and Review
 |
| 2012 Kawasaki Z1000 |
The heart of every naked bike is its engine, so Kawasaki engineers paid special attention here for 1043cc 16-valve inline four with dual cams. The dual-cam motor features a long stroke of 56mm for instant power, fuel injection and a six-speed transmission. Designed for the real-world streets, 2012 Kawasaki Z1000s engine creates flexible power across the rpm range, with gobs of mid-range.
Completely redesigned two years ago, 2012 Kawasaki Z1000s aggressive bodywork reveals the design teams attention to detail. The aesthetic showcase begins with a low-mount front cowl that slopes back radically, highlighting the Z’s prow and, behind it, an adjustable instrument cluster featuring a multifunction LCD display covered by a trick-looking orange lens. The line-beam headlights guts are integrated nicely into that angled cowl. Moving rearward, you come to a shapely fuel tank that’s flared on the sides to let you grab it with your knees and that’s trim at the back for a snug fit. The seat is low and narrow at the front to make ground contact easy, and flows beautifully rearward to end in a futuristically retro LED tail light behind a red lens. It’s a thoroughly athletic shape, one sure to garner attention wherever it’s ridden.
Suspension at both ends is thoroughly modern and wickedly functional: a beefy, fully adjustable 41mm inverted fork up front and a spring preload and rebound damping adjustable Uni-Trak® shock in back that’s mounted nearly horizontally above the swingarm to shield it from exhaust heat and foster an added degree of mass centralization. Wheel control is simply superb, and the substantial feedback sent to the rider makes it easy to know exactly what’s going on at the bike’s contact patches.
The chassis of the 2012 Kawasaki Z1000 features much technology, including an aluminum frame that cradles the engine from above, a design similar to the ZX-10R superbike. Built from racetrack input, this frame features a skinny mid-section, which provides much feedback to the rider.
There are other features that add to the overall aggression of the Z1000, including five-spoke wheels, shorter, 4-into-2-into-2 exhaust, a solid mount handelbar and aluminum footpegs and ninja-spec brakes.

2012 Kawasaki Z1000 Specifications/Technical Details
MSRP Price: $10,799.00
Engine
- Liquid-cooled inline-four offers substantial power at all rpm levels, providing effortless acceleration in almost any situation
- Bore and stroke dimensions of 77.0 x 56.0mm offer the best possible balance of peak power and low and mid-range flexibility
- 38mm downdraft throttle bodies allow intake air to travel to the engine in the shortest possible distance
- Oval sub-throttles help keep the engine slim - a good thing since the throttle bodies are positioned between the riders knees
- Soft rev limiter provides good overrev character; power doesnt drop off suddenly at high rpm
- The crankshaft is positioned low in the crankcase assembly to allow a longer stroke without adding engine height
- A secondary balancer, driven off a gear on the sixth web of the crankshaft, eliminates excess vibration
- The intake system routes cool air to the airbox from ducts above the radiator shrouds, minimizing performance loss due to heated intake air
- Positioning the ducts close to the rider allows the intake sound to be heard - and enjoyed - by the rider
- A resonator inside the airbox reduces noise at low rpm, and enhances intake sound at high rpm
- The exhaust system features a 4-into-2-pre-chamber-into-2 layout. Silencer end caps maintain the quad-style image
- Main and pre-catalyzers provide cleaner emissions
- Thanks to the under-engine pre-chamber, silencer volume is reduced, and silencer weight is low. Exhaust system offers excellent mass centralization and contributes to a low center of gravity
- Slim-type fuel pump features an integral fuel gauge
- Fuel tank design and slim-type fuel pump minimize unused volume inside the tank; fuel capacity is 4.0 gallons
- Aluminum backbone frame designed specifically for the Z1000 (and similar in concept to the Ninja ZX-10Rs) helps make the bike narrow and easy to grip with the knees for maximum rider comfort and feedback
- Lightweight and highly rigid, the frame uses the engine as a stressed member for a firm, planted feeling and enhanced stability
- Frame is tuned to transmit the ideal level of engine feedback directly to the rider
- The frames five-piece construction consists of steering stem, left and right main frames, and two cross pieces. The two main frame components have open C-shaped cross sections
- As much as possible, welds were eliminated for simplicity and appearance. The frame beams and swingarm brackets are now single die-cast pieces
- The frame uses four engine mounts; three mounts are rigid, while the upper rear crankcase mount is rubber
- The rear sub-frame is a three-piece aluminum die-casting construction, which is light, strong and optimizes mass centralization
- The sub-frame is an example of form and function combined, negating the need for side covers and allowing underseat narrowness for a shorter reach to the ground
- Rear suspension design positions the shock unit and linkage above the swingarm where its less exposed to exhaust heat and contributes to mass centralization
- Visible from the outside, the horizontal monoshock contributes to the Z1000s aggressive appearance
- Linkage characteristics are the same as those of a standard Uni-Trak® rear suspension: Wheel movement versus shock stroke is the same ratio
- The shock features stepless rebound damping and spring preload adjustability
- The Z1000s 41mm inverted fork is adjustable for compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload - and is protected from harm by a cool-looking shroud
- Settings are designed for both sporty performance and excellent comfort
- The tubular handlebar is rigid mounted, contributing to sharp, direct handling
- A wide, flat bend handlebar offers a design similar to those on off-road bikes for excellent control
- Tapered-type grips, like those used on supersport models, offer a more direct feel
- Ninja ZX-10R-style footpegs with knurled surfaces offer good grip, direct feel and control, and no-nonsense looks
- The passenger footpeg brackets incorporate convenient luggage hooks
- The Z1000s 300mm front petal-style brake discs are gripped by opposed four-piston radial-mount calipers. (Caliper piston size is 4x30 mm)
- A radial-pump front brake master cylinder contributes to the superb control and feel offered by these high-end calipers
- The rear brake is a single-piston, pin-slide caliper gripping a 250mm petal-style disc. The caliper is mounted below the swingarm, and located by a torque rod

2012 Kawasaki Versys 1000
 |
| 2012 Kawasaki Versys 1000 |
2012 Kawasaki Versys 1000 comes with two Power Mode selections, Full or Low, that allow riders to adjust output based on riding preference and road conditions. Low reduces power output by 25% for a milder throttle response, a boon when roads are slick because if the 1043cc mill has the same character as the Zed’s, it can spool up the rear quickly if riders aren’t careful.
Aluminium twin-tube frame design features frame beams that go over engine, allowing a narrow construction that is easy to grip with the knees. Lightweight and highly rigid, the frame uses the engine as a stressed member. The frame contributes to handling, offering a firm, planted feeling, good stability and light, nimble turning. The frame is a 5-piece cast aluminium construction, consisting of steering stem, left and right main frames, and two cross pieces. The two main frame components have open C-shaped cross sections and were die-cast to ensure a smooth surface finish.
Kawasaki has taken this fact into consideration and equipped the 2012 Kawasaki Versys 1000 with Kawasaki’s Three-Mode KTRC, the same traction control system as the ZX-14R. The system on the Versys 1000 reportedly combines elements of Kawasaki’s two traction control systems, the S-KTRC and KTRC. It has three modes: Modes 1 & 2 concentrate on providing maximum acceleration while Mode 3 focuses on riding stability in adverse conditions, responding in the same manner as the KTRC system on the Concours 14. Riders can also opt to turn the system off.
Advanced ECU programming contributes to the Versys 1000’s high fuel efficiency. Careful adjustment of fuel volume and ignition timing when speed is constant improves fuel consumption without compromising driveability.
The Economical Riding Indicator appears on the LCD screen to indicate favourable fuel consumption. Paying attention to conditions that result in the mark appearing can assist riders to maximise their fuel efficiency. This handy feature is active all the time, although to be effective, the rider must ride in a gentle manner: less than 6,000 rpm, less than 30% throttle and under 160 km/h.

HANDLING OF A 125
NEW FRAME
The completely revamped frame made from high-quality chrome-molybdenum steel is characterised by even greater lateral stiffness. The 250 EXCs new, lighter, cast aluminium swingarm accommodates the shock absorber more centrally, in order to load the swing arms more evenly. TELESCOPIC FORK, NEW SETTING
The sensitive responsiveness and outstanding damping of the open-cartridge fork with 48 mm (1.89 in) outer tubes are a perfect complement for the 250 EXCs playful handling and precision.
NEW WHEELS
Practically unbeatable in terms of weight and stability, the new wheels have CNC-machined hubs, Excel rims, zinc/nickel-coated spokes and aluminium nipples. They reduce the unsprung and gyroscopic masses, hence bolstering the playful handling of the 250 EXC.

2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic Review
2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic Review
Packed with Style, Thrumming with Power
The system offers a natural throttle feel because the APS is activated by a throttle body pulley connected by cables to the throttle grip. That easy-reach handlebar facilitates slow-speed maneuvering and helps maximize rider confidence. Adding to the light and easy handling are suspension components matched to the Vulcan 1700 Classic’s intended mission. An elegantly simple rear swingarm with twin air-assisted shocks provides 3.1 inches of rear suspension travel, and features air spring preload and four-way rebound adjustment. Up front, a large 43mm fork offers precise steering feedback, a supple ride and 5.5 inches of travel.
The Vulcan 1700 Classic rolls on nine-spoke cast wheels that run fat, tubeless tires – 130/90 front and 170/70 rear – that complement its muscular styling. Dual 300mm front disc brakes featuring twin-piston calipers and a single 300mm rear disc brake with a two-piston caliper help bring this stylish machine to steady, powerful stops.

2012 Piaggio Beverly Sport Touring 350 Review
2012 Piaggio Beverly Sport Touring 350 Review
2012 Piaggio Beverly Sport Touring 350
The range of the Piaggio high wheel best-seller is now enhanced with a new sport model: introducing Beverly SportTouring.
The new Beverly SportTouring is the first scooter to be equipped with ABS/ASR in order to take maximum advantage of performance without ever sacrificing complete safety.
The new SportTouring has a combined braking system or, the first scooter in the world, a built in ABS system with ASR traction control for maximum safety even in emergency and poor grip conditions.
To handle its enhanced performance, the new SportTouring mounts a larger 150/70 rear tyre in order to guarantee the maximum in terms of stability and road holding.
2012 Piaggio Beverly Sport Touring 350 Model Highlights
A new engine: minimum space, maximum performance.
On the Beverly SportTouring the brand new single cylinder 350, 4 stroke, 4 valve, electronic injection and water cooled engine makes its debut - state of the art Piaggio Group technology in scooter engines.
This is an engine designed to provide performance comparable to a 400 cc engine, but with compact dimensions and reduced weight in line with a 300 cc engine.
A special automatic lubrication system guarantees constant cooling of the system in any operating conditions.
Minimum size and maximum performance, for greater savings: thanks to the new engine, the management costs of the Beverly SportTouring are kept at the same level as a 300 scooter, while offering a reduction of maintenance expenses. Once again, the new Beverly SportTourings technology provides agility, efficiency and riding pleasure at the highest levels.
While maintaining the great agility and handling of an urban commuter, the new Beverly SportTouring ensures top-of-the-class road holding, thanks in part to the large wheels with double 5-spoke light alloy rims (16" x 3.00" up front and 14" x 3.50" at the rear) and large tyres (110/70 and 150/70 respectively).
Combined braking, ABS and ASR: powerful and safe in any situation.
In terms of active safety, the new Beverly SportTouring does not shy away from confrontation, thanks to its powerful braking system, at the top of its category. The front brake sports a large 300 mm semi-floating disc, where a 3-piston floating calliper operates, while a 240 mm disc is mounted at the rear. Thanks to the ASR, output power is automatically reduced when the sensors detect imminent skidding of the rear wheel. Even at first glance, the Beverly SportTouring stands out with its smoked windshield which, besides emphasising its sport spirit, improves aerodynamic protection for the rider.
