Kid brother to the 700R, the Raptor 250SE brings performance, style and versatility, in a smaller lightweight package.

There's nothing ordinary about the way it looks. Or the way it rides, for that matter. You gas, it comes to life.

You steer, it reacts and adapts. With its Rotax 990 V-Twin engine and unique, three-wheeled stance, the Can-Am Spyder roadster offers a bold, new way to experience open-road freedom. And it all starts at the end of your driveway.

A trip on the 2010 Can-Am Spyder RS roadster isn't just an escape, it's a full-on performance get-a-way.

FEATURES:

Engine
Desmodromic charisma
The Monster 1100 power unit is the legendary air-cooled, Desmodromic 1100cc engine with 95hp of unmistakable Ducati character. With an incredibly flexible power delivery, this engine ensures fantastic acceleration just when you need it, even on the most challenging of routes. The impressive 75,9lb-ft of torque, typical of the Ducati L-Twin Dual Spark engines, will excite with every twist of the throttle.

Chassis
The Monster 1100 is the lightest bike in its class: The 1100 S weighs in at 168kg (370lbs) and the 1100 at just 169kg (373lbs)!
The exceptional handling, combined with legendary torque from the Ducati Desmo engine, results in a pure, adrenalin-filled ride. Extremely lightweight 5-spoke Marchesini wheels help reduce unsprung weight, while the beautifully shaped single-sided swingarm gives the Monster a 'tough' look while ensuring higher rigidity, reduced weight and enhanced road holding. Increased ground clearance enables maximum lean angles when you explore the sports side of the Monster 1100 to the full.

The 43mm Showa forks and Sachs rear suspension unit are adjustable to suit your riding style and provide that perfect 'feel'. The short Trellis frame, developed in conjunction with Ducati Corse, uses the same tube diameter and thickness as the 1098 R, while the rear subframe is derived from Desmosedici RR technology. The fantastic Brembo braking system features a radial master cylinder feeding radially mounted four-piston calipers on twin 320mm discs, an incredible set-up that guarantees optimum braking.

Design
The Monster design perfectly balances sports performance, riding pleasure and stunning looks.
With frame technology derived from the Desmosedici and flexible power delivered from the legendary L-Twin engine, the Monster is able to perform both in the busiest of city streets and the most exhilirating of open roads. The Monster's essential design and unique sound sets it aside from all others.

• Single-sided swingarm - The beautifully shaped single-sided swingarm gives the Monster a 'tough' look while ensuring higher rigidity, reduced weight and enhanced road holding.
• Handlebars - Elegant aluminium tapered handlebars with radial brake and clutch pumps.
• Wheels - Extremely lightweight 5-spoke wheels help reduce unsprung weight and their captivating design give the Monster 1100 a more aggressive look.
• Intrumentation - The instrumentation is totally digital just like all Ducati's latest hypersport models, guaranteeing lightness, ease of use and a wealth of information that can be thumbed through using the left-hand handlebar switchgear.
• Fuel tank - With a fuel tank form created with ingenious removable outer skins that enable quick and easy colour swaps, changing the personality of your Monster has never been easier.
  

• Exhaust system - The exhaust system stands out for its re-routed downpipes that now give the underside of the Monster a cleaner appearance and terminate with twin, bold Ducati-style mufflers.

• Headlamp - This compact headlamp unit is characterized by a new triple arc main beam.
• Rear light - The rear light uses modern and stylish LED technology.
• Air scoops - The highlighted air ducts in the tank improved flow to the airbox, offering a wide steering-lock thanks to their positioning.

Kawasaki ER-6 Spy Shot, 2006

650cc parallel twin engine and wavy front brake discs.

All-new parallel twin engine and has been design to give ‘the size and feel of a 400 with the power of a 650’. The engine has been made very small in order to allow the bike to have a short wheelbase to improve the handling while the exhaust under the engine lowers the centre of gravity. The shorter chassis of the Swingarm can be made longer which also helps to improve the handling.

The Essential Riding: the new ER-6n
For motorcyclists, whether new to two wheels or long-term riders, the essence of motorcycling, the freedom that riding on two wheels provides, is sometimes difficult to express.

With a reputation for innovative motorcycles delivering the performance sought by enthusiasts the world over, Kawasaki have now taken the refreshing and imaginative step of combining their engineering prowess and an awareness of contemporary design, with the introduction of the stunning all-new ER-6n.
Conceived at the exclusive Kawasaki design facility in Akashi, Japan, the ER-6n represents a bold new era for Kawasaki and fresh opportunities both for existing riders and those who have previously not considered the merits of motorcycling.

The machine for riders of all ages and abilities whether male or female, the core appeal of the ER-6n is that of a motorcycle at the very cutting edge of contemporary design, just as pleasing to look at as it is to ride.
Incorporating ergonomics perfectly suited to a variety of riders, the ER-6n makes optimum use of a compact two-cylinder engine to deliver a sleek chassis that is extremely manoeuvrable and fun-to-ride.

For new riders, the ER-6n experience will grow and mature along with theirs.
For existing riders, the machine will reawaken in them the very essence of the motorcycle riding sensation, providing a broad spread of useable engine power matched to a chassis that is outstanding in both visual and engineering terms.

The ER-6n represents a single-minded vision for the Kawasaki company, a vision born of a passionate commitment to offering the sheer enjoyment that motorcycling represents to the widest possible audience.
In an age where transport alternatives all shout for attention, the ER-6n evokes the elusive essence of Kawasaki’s commitment to fun, thrills and freedom on two wheels, crafted and distilled into one distinctive statement.

Royal Enfield motorcycles have been in continuous production for over 100 years, making them the longest running motorcycle brand in the world, and their success story is set to continue with the introduction of a brand new engine for 2009.

Designed to comply with tough European emission regulations, the all-new engine will secure the future of this unique heritage brand and guaranteeing that Royal Enfield has a position in the worldwide motorcycle market.

UNIT CONSTRUCTION (UC) means that the engine and gearbox are combined in one casing, whereas previous engines had a separate gearbox, while Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) replaces the traditional carburettor. Power is increased to 27.5 BHP in standard form with 41.3 Nm of torque at 4000rpm.

However, this 500cc pushrod single cylinder, with a bore of 84mm and stroke of 90mm, gives an authentic-feeling ‘British Single’ experience.

All 2009-model Royal Enfields sold in Europe will be fitted with the new UC engine and first to appear in the UK will be the Electra EFI. This will be similar in appearance to the previous Electra model, but with UCE engine and a catalytic converter in the exhaust. Initial shipments are expected to arrive in the UK towards the end of 2008.

Manufacturing authentic classic motorcycles is at the heart of Royal Enfield’s business and the company will continue to produce machines that retain the distinctive Royal Enfield style with a new generation of Bullet motorcycles that will be in production during 2009.

The flagship model in the range is the 500 Bullet Classic, which will be launched to UK riders at NEC (28 Nov - 7 Dec 2008). This completely new model has all the styling cues you would expect from a genuine classic Royal Enfield: single cylinder air-cooled pushrod engine, 1950’s style nacelle and toolboxes, traditional paint scheme and highly polished engine components. It will appear in UK showrooms early in 2009.

With this next generation from Royal Enfield riders can experience pure motorcycling as it was intended, with the added reassurance of a reliable, economical, 500cc single.
