Yamaha - New Launches in India
Author: Archan J Rawell
YAMAHA, the big daddy of biking world has launched an assault on the Indian 2 wheeler market in 2008. It has finally woken up from a dormant state and has decided to go full throttle in order to increase its visibility and market share in India. The Japanese motorcycle major has taken initial strides in transforming itself from a fringe player to a mainstream player in the Indian two wheeler market. Yamaha has wisely dug deep into its glorious past and has come out with 2 amazingly engineered machines that bike enthusiasts in India have been craving for. These bikes have taken the Indian two wheeler market by storm. With these offerings Yamaha has severely jolted its competitors, who have become increasingly insecure after these launches. It has forced its competitors to go back to the drawing board and think hard to meet the standards set by them. It has truly raised the bar sky high and its going to be incredibly tough for its competitors. The two bikes are YZF R15 and FZ16. With these two launches, Yamaha is all set to recapture its share in the Indian two wheeler market. These 2 bikes have taken up the herculean task of promoting and re-establishing the Yamaha brand in India. The launch of YZF R15 did elicit a roaring response from the Indian audience. The bike has been touted as India’s first superbike. Though at the heart of the machine lies a 150cc engine, its the overall package that has accentuated the bikes' performance and appeal. One can see the other vehicles evaporate in the rear view mirror when riding this beast. The body is heavily inspired from the legendary YAMAHA R1 which has enthralled audiences all over the world for many years. The alluring bike has a neatly crafted body which does justice to its macho image. The evil twin headlamps at the front are beautifully sinister. The bike scores high in the looks department. This bike also has some brilliant engineering which catapults it, way ahead of its competitors. A cleverly engineered fuel injection system replaces the antiquated carburetor. The 6 speed gearbox packs a powerful punch. The process of shifting the gears is smooth and promises an effortless riding experience. A liquid cooled engine (first of its kind in India) dissipates heat faster and hence is more efficient. The bike has superb cornering ability and offers excellent ride quality. This bike has been a divine blessing for youngsters who have been deprived of good quality bikes for years. It has instilled the Racing instinct in youngsters. The other bike from the Yamaha stable which was launched in latter half of 2008 is the macho FZ16. This bike has a more naked and earthy appeal. This seductive beauty has a robust construction and a neatly chiseled gas tank. The tires are wide and offer amazing road grip. This bike has attracted eyeballs from all quarters of the two wheeler industry and has set the pulses racing. With its killer looks coupled with brilliant performance this bike is all set to be the leader in the 150cc segment. The bike has a muscular and raw look which has gone down well with the Indian audience. Clearly beating all its rivals in the 150cc segment, it is on its way to being crowned "the lord of the streets". The engineering on this bike may not be as advanced as the YZF R15 but it surely is a high performance and value for money bike. It offers much more than a regular 150cc bike. It is an owners' delight and is priced perfectly. YAMAHA has truly "touched the hearts" of bike lovers in this part of the world. By unleashing these bikes, it has stamped its authority in the premium bike category and has plans to come out with more such machines in the near future, and for once, no one is complaining. Bring it on! By Archan J Rawell

Passion for Bikes
Passion for Bikes
Author: Switch2life
We always use terms like “This is guy’s thing” or “This is girl’s thing”, this is not to discriminate what boys can do and what girls can do. No it is just the way boys and girl relate or react to a certain thing. Boys will go certain way and girls another. Biking or Bikes is one of those Guy’s thing. Every man at least once goes through such phase of life when he feels that owning a bike is must, mostly when you are in college. Why is that? Because may be we feel more passionate, adventures, wild at that time of life . And Bike is certainly more adventures than driving a car. Riding a bike gives you a feeling of freedom, when you are racing on the road, overtaking all the vehicles in your way. You feel you’re top of the world. And then there is this glamour attached to the bike, you automatically gain a image of a “Macho man”, you get priority in girls list etc. etc. Every one of us one point of time has dream that he is riding his bike at full speed, with his girlfriend at the backseat. She is holding on to him. She is talking sweet, naughty things in his ears. And then every time he race the bike or there are speed-breakers, potholes on road he can feel her pounding on his back and he feels that the road should never end. Heavenly feeling isn’t it? It is more for experiencing yourself; it can not be explained in words. Some of us went on to buy a bike and fulfill their dreams. Some of us can’t, they just watch others and sigh agonizingly. One of my friend just bought a bike “Avenger”, It took us 2-3 months to zeroing on it. To start with we were really naive about bike. Only thing we knew was we want to buy a bike; but we were very much confused which bike should go for. “Karizma” and “Pulser” was our first choice but that only because we have seen lot of them on road and of course there is lot of advertisement for them. When we start inquiring different people for there inputs, they start bombarding us with terms like 150cc, 200cc, mileage, average, etc. etc. And we were very much unaware of these terms that time. So we found out first what does these terms means and how will they affect our choice of bike. Let’s discuss this next time…… Take care….

Super "mini" pocket motorcycles are also equipped with automatic transmissions, disc brakes, powerful engines and super fast speed capacity. Safety in riding the super pocket bikes has become a critical issue for most parents of younger pocket bike riders. It may appear that kids fit perfectly on the super pocket bikes more than the adults do. However, this does not specifically mean that kids are encouraged to ride the super pocket bikes.

The Basic Needs of Motorcycle Safety
The Basic Needs of Motorcycle Safety
Author: len henderson
When it comes to Motorcycle Safety there are some basic principles that every rider should be knowledgeable of. The big question with most riders is, "What is the least amount of protective gear I can get away with?" The question, however, should not be how much you can get away with, but rather what is going to keep you alive longer. Whether you are driving a motorcycle, motor scooter, car, truck, or tractor trailer, there is going to be risk involved. But riding a motorcycle can be one of the most dangerous ways to travel. Knowing this will assist you in choosing how much protective gear you need when riding. As a general rule you can expect to spend somewhere between $500 and $1k if you are going to get serious about protecting yourself out on the road. Motorcycle safety is not something you want to buy the cheap stuff with. However, there are alternatives to buying brand new. There do exists some used websites out there that offer good quality 2nd hand gear for a discounted price. So take that into consideration when reading this article. A good Helmet is where you need to start when thinking about proper motorcycle safety. They make them in all kinds of colors so you can match with your bike, or choose to do something different. Just know the brighter the color the more visible you will be out on the road. Jackets and a good pair of leather pants are your second line of defense. Jeans are a little better than bare skin, so leather is much more prefered against road rash. In place of riding pants and jackets they do make riding suits that go over your entire outfit. And if all that is to much for you to be wearing, they make riding armor that fits nicely under your clothes as well. You can finish off your basic riding gear with a pair of gloves and boots. There are some extra things that will add additional layers of motorcycle safety. Ear plugs will help guard against possible hearing damage from the bike and wind. Support cups, for males, will give that extra support that could be needed. And reflective vests will let everyone know where you are in relation to the bike itself. The general rule of thumb for all safety is not how little you can get away with, but rather what will keep you the safest.
