Husqvarna SMR125, 2012

 

Husqvarna SMR125, 2012

The SMR125 is the new four stroke 125 cc model from Husqvarna, aimed at young fans of the brand: for a touch of supermoto and speed in urban traffic. It inherits a look that is particularly aggressive and appealing, reflecting the style of the bikes used in races by the official Husqvarna team.

Features and Benefits
Engine
The single overhead camshaft (SOHC) 4-stroke, liquid-cooled 124.45 cc engine is the same for both versions, TE and SMR125. Cylinder bore and stroke length are 52 mm and 58.6 mm, with a compression ratio of 11.2:1. The 125 cc engine ensures reduced emissions and consumption and is rated EU3. It has a Keihin 29 mm carburettor and electric ignition. The lubrication is wet sump with claw pump and cartridge filter.

Chassis
The front suspension forks have a diameter of 40 mm and 260 mm of effective stroke. The rear suspension has a single shock absorber, with adjustable spring preload. Safety: the front brakes are floating calliper double piston with a disc diameter of 260 mm, the rear brakes are also floating calliper, with disc diameter 220 mm.

Frame
The frame of the new 4-stroke, 125cc model is a monobeam in Cr-Mo steel with a circular cross section and rear seat rail, also in steel. The new 4 stroke model has greatly reduced weight, only 117 Kg, making them particularly manageable and easy to handle in every situation.

Wheels
The wheels are made of light alloy, with 17 inch hubs in the supermoto version, allowing use of a 140mm rear tyre which is perfectly adapted to the chassis and gives the SMR125 the look of a big motorbike, with great performance in corners.

• Piaggio Mp3 Touring 125 I.E., 2012

Levels of safety and road holding that would be impossible with a two-wheeler, matched with power and verve delivering pure fun and maximum riding enjoyment: these are the unbeatable characteristics that have made the Mp3 such a brilliant success.

The technically revolutionary three-wheel layout with two front wheels is the basis of the extraordinary success of the Mp3, a scooter unlike anything else in the world which, with its innovative design with two independently sprung and tilting wheels redefined the very concept of dynamic stability.

The winning formula - as proven by over 100,000 Mp3 scooters sold worldwide - has, over the years, spawned a multitude of different versions and spec levels to cater for the needs of every possible user. These include the Mp3 Hybrid, the world's first scooter with parallel hybrid drive and plug-in technology, and the Mp3 Yourban, which offers the exceptional stability and safety of the Mp3 in a vehicle conceived for urban use and simplicity.

The Mp3 Touring brings completely revised looks and functionality to the most "classic" version of Mp3 while retaining the exceptional comfort, space and load capacity that have made the scooter a firm favourite for thousands of users all over the world.

There is a new and more extensive choice of engines: the new Mp3 Touring is available with the classic 125, 300 and 400 engine sizes, which are now joined by an all-new 500cc version offered in "Sport" and "Business" spec levels.

ENGINE

• 1,670cc, air-cooled, long-stroke, OHV, 8-valve, 48° V-twin powerplant pumps out lots of low-rpm torque. Max torque occurs at 2,500 rpm.
• 4 valves per cylinder provide optimum breathing efficiency while 2 spark plugs per cylinder ensure complete combustion for maximum power output. Max torque occurs at 2,500 rpm.
• Hydraulic valve lifters driven by twin crankcase-mounted camshafts deliver exceptional torquey performance and reduce maintenance needs.
• Twin crankcase-mounted camshafts activate the valves via hydraulic valve lifters and pushrods.
• Traditional pushrod valve actuation keeps overall engine height down for a lower centre of gravity. Pushrod tubes are chromed, adding to the beauty of this unique high tech, yet traditional, engine.
• Large-diameter, forged pistons offer great durability and lighter weight for fast engine response.
• Large bore ceramic composite-plated cylinders provide uniform heat dissipation, reduce weight, reduce friction and increase cylinder service life.
• Cooling fin thickness is optimized for maximum heat dissipation, thereby eliminating the need for liquid cooling, maintaining that traditional clean, air-cooled engine appearance.
• Electronic fuel injection with TPS features a single 40mm throttle body with dual injectors (one for each cylinder). The throttle position sensor is linked to the ECU and supplies info about throttle opening so the ECU can adjust ignition timing for optimum engine performance at all rpms.
• High-capacity air intake system with paper type air filter provides maximum breathing for optimum performance.
• Smooth-shifting, 5-speed transmission with 5th gear overdrive delivers outstanding cruising performance and reduced rpms at highway speeds.
• Clean, quiet belt drive system is extremely low- maintenance and simplifies customization. Special narrow design drive belt and sprockets (front and rear) provide lightweight performance and exceptional durability.
• Dry sump lubrication system with handy, spin-on oil filter, creates a lower centre of gravity by helping reduce overall engine height. The oil tank is located under the seat.
• Large-flywheel crankshaft delivers superior, low-rpm torque and that incredible V-twin "pulse" feel.
• 2-piece heel-and-toe shifter adds versatility and enhances the overall cruising experience. The 2-piece design allows the rider to individually adjust front and rear portions to suit foot size or remove the rear section if not desired.
• Electric starting system features solenoid-activated auto-decompressor for easy, no-hassle starting.
• 2-into-2 exhaust system features beefy, staggered, dual shotgun pipes that produce a soulful V-twin exhaust tune. Muffler replacement is fast and simple, if desired.
• Lots of high-quality chrome engine covers
• Air Induction System (A.I.S.) reduces exhaust emissions (CO + HC).

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

• Solid-mounted engine housed in a specially designed gusset-less, double-cradle frame
• Long 1,685mm (66.3") wheelbase creates a long and low retro profile, great rider comfort and solid, stable handling.
• Spacious ergonomics provide ample legroom, which maximizes rider comfort.
• 43mm front forks provide 140mm (5.5") of wheel travel to smooth out the ride. The large-diameter upper fork shrouds, lower fork legs, upper triple clamp and handlebar clamp are accented with a brilliant chrome finish.
• Spring preload-adjustable, single-shock, rear link suspension lowers centre of gravity for better handling and a plush ride. Rear wheel travel is 110mm (4.3").
• Rear shock is horizontally mounted under the engine and tucked out of sight, providing that classic, hardtail look.
• 298mm front disc brakes feature ultra rigid, monoblock, 4-piston calipers with chrome "buttons" accenting the outer piston covers. The dual disc brake set-up eliminates the unsettling twisting effect of a single disc set-up found on most cruisers.
• 320mm rear disc brake with 4-piston caliper provides excellent stopping power and feel.

Triumph Bonneville, 2012

 

  

Triumph Bonneville, 2012

The Bonneville.

The most famous name in motorcycling. A legend. Over 50 years of engineering excellence. A thoroughly modern interpretation of the authentic 'proper' motorcycle. This iconic symbol of rebellion and independence is even more appealing now thanks to its modern specification, low seat, clean fuel-injected 865cc engine and lightweight 17 inch alloys for even sharper handling. Stirs the heart, not the wallet.

The name and look may be traditional, but don’t for one second think that the Bonneville is old-fashioned.

At the heart is a modern 865cc parallel-twin engine that’s fuel-injected for easy starting, sweet running and compliance to even the strictest modern emissions regulations. You’ll have to look twice though, as traditional carburettor bodies are used to disguise the throttle bodies.
Keeping it all in check is a modern chassis that provides sweet handling and stunning agility, thanks in no small part to those 17” alloy wheels, while the low seat height makes the Bonneville manageable and unintimidating for riders of all ages and experience.

A wide range of accessories are also available for the Bonneville, allowing riders to personalise the Bonneville to meet their specific needs.

TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE/BONNEVILLE SE

• - Modern interpretation of classic British parallel-twin
• - Low seat height for accessible and manageable ride
• - Cast alloy wheels contribute to agile handling and authentic 70s look
• - SE version offers higher specification and two-tone paint option
• - Two year unlimited mileage warranty as standard

Named after the venue where Triumph broke numerous land speed records in the 1950s, the Bonneville is, for many people, the most iconic Triumph of all time. Originally introduced in 1959, the Bonneville was the sporting bike of the day and the bike to beat in production-based racing right through to the 1970s. Today’s Bonneville takes the style and spirit of those famous bikes of the 1970s and blends in thoroughly modern engineering to create a classic British twin for the 21st century rider.

The air-cooled 865cc power plant is a modern design but styled to look like aauthentic parallel-twin of the 1960s, right down to the dummy pushrods and ‘carburettors’ that hide the modern fuel injectors. But beneath the retro looks lies a very current and usable motorcycle that appeals to new and experienced motorcyclists alike. Thumb the electric starter and today’s Bonneville comes to life instantly and with the distinctive tone that only a parallel twin can deliver. A healthy 68PS and 68Nm of torque give the modern day Bonneville peppy performance that is at home both in the city and on the open road.

Lightweight 17” cast alloy wheels make the Bonneville agile and easy to ride, while the low 740mm seat height makes the accessible to motorcyclists of all ages and experience. Short mudguards and stylish chrome megaphone silencers complete the 1970s look.

The higher specification Bonneville SE adds a tachometer, chromed tank badge and brushed alloy engine cases for added practicality and even more classic look.

Colour options reflect the traditional styling of the Bonneville. The standard model comes with metallic paint as standard for 2012, with Phantom Black and Aurum Gold options, while the Bonneville SE is available in Phantom Black or two dual colour alternatives: Intense Orange with Phantom Black or Pacific Blue with Fusion White, the two-tone options featuring hand painted coachlines.

A wide range of official Triumph accessories are also available for the Bonneville range, including alternative seats, practical screens and leather panniers.

Piaggio Fly 50 4V, 2012

 

Piaggio Fly 50 4V, 2012

Style, comfort and safety on two wheels in the most classic Piaggio style.
Piaggio Fly is reborn, mobility for all. Anywhere in the world.

The new Piaggio Fly is the most modern heir to the great Piaggio tradition as the first European scooter manufacturer and leader in the search for easy and elegant solutions to provide mobility for all.

Piaggio Fly is the global scooter from Piaggio, designed and built for the entire world. Easy and safe, from the very first version Fly has embodied the spirit of Piaggio, one of the great global players in the scooter sector, whose mission is to meet the needs and desires of extremely wide ranges of users in every country in the world.
Now Piaggio Fly is renewed with an elegant style, completely revamped, and it offers new features of protection which are worthy of a much larger scooter.

The new Piaggio Fly now presents itself as the scooter which combines functionality and simplicity of use with the elegance of Italian design. The new Fly intends to bear the technical values and the design style which make Piaggio vehicles stand out in the world. It is the two wheeled vehicle of a thousand uses and a thousand spirits, always at ease in any situation which city life may bring, from commuting to school and work to spending free time with friends in the most glamorous parts of the city.

One of the most stimulating challenges for even a leader like Piaggio was to provide attractive lines and equip a project conceived and designed for daily mobility with exciting content. A strong aesthetic characterisation and absolute coherence with the brand's family feeling was the path that Piaggio designers chose to characterise the new Fly. The result was a vehicle which presents itself as the faithful "accomplice" with which the rider tackles city life, expressing a clear personality and a strong aesthetic affinity to the elegant lines of the Piaggio range.

Model Highlights

DESIGN
The new Fly is the expression of a new concept of functionality in which the balance of volumes generates usable space equal to a mini GT.
The elegant and Italian style can be seen in the painstakingly crafted and painted surfaces, the details and chromium plating and in the attention to every minimum detail.

Compact dimensions, ideal for beating city traffic, are accompanied by modern and personal lines which transmit solidity and the image of a small GT scooter, agile and comfortable.

The new Fly includes all of the elements of style from the most recent Piaggio productions, smoothness and dynamism blend perfectly in reassuring and never trite lines. Volumes and proportions were handled decisively by the designer's pen and the result is strong dynamism in the lines which do an excellent job of bringing out the brilliance of the latest addition to the Piaggio family.

The front end is prominent and penetrating, characterised by the "necktie" which, on the Fly, is an elegant black. The handlebar hosts a triangular shaped headlight surrounded by a chromium frame which connects it to the instrument panel, refined by a glossy black brow.

The low saddle is comfortable and provides easy seating to riders of any height, also hiding a spacious helmet compartment. The footrest has enough space to stretch out your legs, which works in favour the rider's convenience and comfort. The entire package is characterised by meticulous attention to detail, matching and finishing with chromium plated elements such as the glove box handle and the fuelling hatch. The wheel rims are made up of 5 rolling and doubled silver coloured spokes, just like the front fork and the transmission housing.

The slim back end is completed by a metallic silver coloured luggage rack and a unique tail light which includes turn indicators and rear light to make the vehicle sleek and to lighten its view from the rear.

RATIONALITY AND FUNCTIONALITY
The fuel tank was designed under the footrest, an extremely rational solution which means no sacrifice of capacity and an increased potential load for the storage compartment under the saddle which can hold 2 jet helmets with visors.

Access for refuelling is achieved through the hatch located on the lower part of the leg shield back plate which opens with a handle and hides the locking fuel cap. The black rear passenger footrests are the fold-out type and increase comfort and improve vehicle space.

The scooter has two stands: the centre stand to provide more stability for the stopped vehicle and the side stand, with a stop engine sensor for safe use.

The compact dimensions represent a valuable quality for a scooter destined primarily for city use: the new Fly provides improved vehicle space thanks to the riding triangle designed to accommodate access by various size riders; the double-seat saddle is just 760 mm off the ground, allowing any size rider to safely reach the ground.

Maximum use has been made of the spaces: besides the spacious storage compartment under the saddle, the glove compartment in the leg shield rear plate can hold small, every day objects (wallet and mobile phone) while the convenient bag hook comes out of the saddle. Finally, the large, flat footrest allows transportation of more bulky objects. The luggage carrier, which also acts as a handle for the passenger, also provides the possibility of mounting a spacious top box.

FRAME, CHASSIS AND SAFETY
The new Piaggio Fly frame is completely new, made from steel piping and moulded and welded reinforcing: a single open cradle structure, sturdy and resistant to breaks and bends, guaranteeing precision and safe riding.
The new Fly mounts a hydraulic telescopic fork with 32 mm stanchions, while a monoshock operates on the rear wheel, using the engine as swinging element in keeping with true scooter philosophy.

The 12" wheels and the wide, tubeless tyres (120/70 on the front and back) complete the high level chassis, ensuring excellent overall balance and agility fit for traffic.
The braking system is made up of a large diameter (220 mm) front disc brake, with a brake drum (140 mm diameter) mounted on the rear wheel.

ENGINES
The 50 cc 4 stroke, 4 valve engine that powers the new Fly has both clean consumption and brilliant performance at the same time. It is a modern engine developed to combine performance and respect for the environment, a top priority for a scooter destined for city commutes.

The 50 cc, thanks to the use of 4 valve timing, boasts the brilliance of the two stroke "little 50's" but the fuel economy and emissions remain those of a 4 stroke engine. The thermal part and the timing were optimised with the intention of reaching higher rpms safely and easily, thereby achieving greater power. Improved through-flow, also the result of the new multi-valve head, translates to optimised combustion, reduced fuel consumption and lower than ever emissions.

The new Fly, in addition to the 50 4 stroke, 4 valve, will be available in 125 and 150 cc injection versions; modern single cylinder 4 strokes which combine great performance sparkle with reduced fuel consumption and extremely contained emissions, thanks also to a transmission and shifting setting which increases mileage and reduces noise.

Piaggio Beverly Sport Touring 350, 2012

 

 

• Piaggio Beverly Sport Touring 350, 2012

The range of the Piaggio high wheel best-seller is now enhanced with a new sport model: introducing Beverly Sport Touring.
The 350 engine is new - as compact as a 300 cc but with the performance of a 400 - 150/70 rear tyre and a new look, rich in brushed details, for an evolution of the species which extends the class and elegance of Beverly to the sport class.
The new Beverly Sport Touring is the first scooter to be equipped with ABS/ASR in order to take maximum advantage of performance without ever sacrificing complete safety.

The high wheel best seller from Piaggio, with more than 300,000 vehicles sold, has been the undisputed market leader from ten years, extends its inimitable features of urban commuter into a sports theme, mixing performance, comfort and riding pleasure into a unique model.

Introducing Beverly Sport Touring, a version which is attractive, gritty and at the same time elegant, where all of the experience and state of the art scooter technology of the Piaggio Group is concentrated in terms of safety, performance and reliability.
Beverly SportT ouring is the first model from Piaggio equipped with the brand new 350 engine, a product made to obtain the maximum power of a 400, but with a size, emissions levels and management costs comparable to those of a 300 cc.

The new Sport Touring 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 Sport Touring mounts a larger 150/70 rear tyre in order to guarantee the maximum in terms of stability and road holding.

Model Highlights
A new engine: minimum space, maximum performance.
On the Beverly Sport Touring 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.

The 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.
The new thermal group was specifically studied to optimize fluid dynamics, by adopting solutions which allow performance to be enhanced, increasing fuel economy at the same time. The new design also contributes to a significant reduction in emissions.

The stroke and bore values (69 mm x 78 mm) were selected to guarantee improved output at intermediate RPMs and with partial loads as well as greater operational flexibility.
The new 350 engine was conceived with a dry crankcase lubrication system with reed valve, which allows a reduction of both power losses due to flutter, and volume of the oil sump and the engine size.
Particular attention was given to reducing internal friction during design of the new engine: the timing rockers now have rollers, to the advantage of noise reduction and mechanical efficiency.

On the transmission front there are also new improvements, characterized by a new, multi-disc automatic clutch in oil bath, which ensures improved and more consistent output over time, even in conditions of high thermal stress. A special automatic lubrication system guarantees constant cooling of the system in any operating conditions.

These technical solutions, together with a new CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) developed ad hoc for this engine, provided savings in terms of weight of about 10 kg compared to a 400.
The performance, comparable to that of a 400, - with maximum power of 24.5 kW (33.3 HP) at 8,250 rpm and maximum torque of 32.2 Nm (3.3 kgm) at 6,250 rpm - place the new Beverly Sport Touring at the top of its category.

Minimum size and maximum performance, for greater savings: thanks to the new engine, the management costs of the Beverly Sport Touring are kept at the same level as a 300 scooter, while offering a reduction of maintenance expenses. In fact, service is scheduled at intervals of 20,000 km, with an oil change at an intermediate 10,000 km only.

Fuel economy information is also excellent: thanks to the new engine, Beverly Sport Touring gets an average distance* of more than 30km/l, for an overall range grater than 330km. WMTC 3.1 cycle

Chassis architecture: motorcycle efficiency with the comfort of a scooter.
The brilliant engine performance is enhanced by an original and extremely efficient chassis, a point of excellence for all of the Beverly models from the beginning. Once again, the new Beverly Sport Touring's technology provides agility, efficiency and riding pleasure at the highest levels.

The double-cradle frame in high-strength steel and pressed sheet metal sports a conventional fork with 35 mm stanchions up front, while rear suspension is handled by a pair of double-acting helical-spring shock absorbers with adjustable spring preload offering 4 different positions, ensuring optimal absorption of road bumps while delivering a neutral response and accurate handling.

While maintaining the great agility and handling of an urban commuter, the new Beverly Sport Touring 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 Sport Touring 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. The two discs operate in synergy, thanks to the combined braking system (for the version without ABS only): acting on the right lever the two side pistons up front are activated, while the left lever operates both the third piston up front and the rear brake. A distribution valve operates in series with the left lever, calibrating the front brake pressure based on the rear pressure in order to prevent lightening of the rear wheel and to keep the vehicle balance neutral.

The new Beverly Sport Touring is the first scooter on the market which can be equipped with the ABS/ASR package for optimum vehicle management even in the most delicate situations, such as in the event of a sudden loss of grip in emergency acceleration or braking.

Both the wheels are equipped with a tone wheel and a sensor for instantaneous detection of rotation speed. The sensors are connected to a two channel hydraulic control unit which, through servo valves regulates the pressure to the braking system, activating the ABS at the moment in which the wheel tends to lock up.

The final result is total and constant grip for the tyres, with a consequent decrease in the braking distance.
The ASR feature, combined with the ABS system, represents a further step forward in terms of active safety.
Thanks to the ASR, output power is automatically reduced when the sensors detect imminent skidding of the rear wheel. This measure contributes to preventing loss of control, on bumpy or low grip surfaces.

The ASR can be easily disabled using the dedicated control on the handlebar so that, in any case, the rider is always able to get clear even in particular conditions (i.e.: starts on uphill slopes, on dirt roads, etc.). Engagement and disabling are indicated by an indicator light on the instrument panel.

Style: gritty and elegant, in true Made in Italy spirit.
The decisive and elegant style of the new Beverly Sport Touring stems from a careful and harmonious evolution of the distinctive styling of the Beverly family, searching for a subtle balance between the refined simplicity, so typical of all the best Made in Italy products and the numerous new details with a sport flavour.

Even at first glance, the Beverly Sport Touring stands out with its smoked windshield which, besides emphasising its sport spirit, improves aerodynamic protection for the rider.

Instead of the chromium finishings, there are matte and brushed details - such as the front "moulding" - which, enhancing the complex surfaces, gives the new Sport Touring a more decisive, sport and elegant character, all at the same time.

The exhaust is also new, standing out because of the two ribs on the heat shield and the exclusive grey/flat black colouring, as well as the doubled 5-spoke wheel rims which were chosen in glossy black.

The touring spirit of this new Beverly comes out in the numerous details, designed to provide a riding experience characterised by maximum comfort, from the saddle which has two-level seating, separate for rider and passenger - a distinctive element of this model from the beginning - which is available on the Sport Touring in two colours, black and red (to match the interior finishing) and made precious by the exclusive relief stitching, ideally reminiscent of the most beautiful sports car interiors.

The new Sport Touring shares the spacious helmet compartment with the entire Beverly range: illuminated by a courtesy light, it is one of the largest in the category and can hold two full jet or one flip up helmet, in addition to documents, for which a dedicated space is provided.
Load capacity is complemented by the practical luggage rack, with integrated passenger grab handles, the match coloured glove box incorporated in the leg shield back plate and the retractable bag hook.

Colours
The unique look of the new Beverly Sport Touring is completed by an exclusive range of colour combinations and interior matches selected to enhance shapes and the sport character of the scooter: matched with the new Argento Cometa, a matte colour which enhances the shapes and surfaces even more, and the Nero Cosmo, the more "aggressive" livery, are the interiors, red embossing and saddle, which for the more classic Blu Midnight, Rosso Antares and Bianco Luna, are instead of black.
