Motorbike Review: Honda NSF 250R 2012

The new NSF250R 4-stroke bike bears striking similarities to the bike it’s replacing, the RS125R. Incidentally, the RS125R was ridden by both Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso to their respective World Championship runs.

In developing the NSF250R, Honda Racing Corporation wanted to build a bike that took the same high-performance, lightweight, and compact elements of the RS125R.
“We want users to ride with the same sense of comfort and inherits important elements from the RS125R such as the ability to learn the basics for moving up from entry level to the MotoGP,” HRC explains.

ABS STANDARD ON VICTORY VISION
The Victory Vision has several noteworthy improvements for 2011, including:
o New tubular handlebars offer easy steering control and can accept mounts and clamps so a rider can add a cup holder and all common electrical device mounts.
o The dampers have been removed from the side storage compartment covers for easier opening.
o Passenger handholds have a black, textured finish so a passenger has a better gripping surface and there's no paint to nick or scratch.
o The redesigned exhaust tips now resemble those of the Victory Cross Country.
o Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is standard on the Victory Vision Tour. Sensors on each wheel monitor wheel speed, and if they sense slippage or wheel lock, the ABS provides instant, effective braking to slow the vehicle and help the rider maintain control.
Victory has a track record of consistently outstanding reliability and dependability, which has led to the industry's highest customer satisfaction ratings. This proven reliability, along with the new transmission design, allows Victory to recommend extended oil service intervals for 2011 drivetrains.
The highest performing transmission on the road receives the power generated by the massive V-twin and seamlessly turns it into something you can use. Neutral Selection Assist and helical-cut gears ensure every shift is as quiet and smooth as the one before it.
Standard on the Vision Tour, the Victory Anti-Lock Brake System doesn't discriminate between dry, wet or rock-strewn pavement. No matter what the conditions, ABS monitors what the wheel is doing and gives you consistent, smooth braking from the handlebar lever down to the rubber on the road.
After making every other aspect of long haul cruising as effortless as possible, the throttle hand still had a beef about being overworked. By adding precise, automotive-style cruise control, the right mitt can now simply hang on and enjoy the ride.
Some riders feel they're not getting their due without wind in their face. Others prefer calmer days in the saddle. With the push of a button both get their wish - power the windshield up for full protection with wraparound faring, or slide the windshield down for the gentle wash that comes with the ride.

Motorcycle Review: 2012 Triumph Café Racer-Styled Thruxton

The 865cc Thruxton Special Edition, named after the British racetrack where Triumph enjoyed enormous success in the 1960s, debuts a stunning red frame and Crystal White bodywork with red stripe. The bike also comes with a colour-matched factory fitted fly screen and blacked out engine cases.
Combining modern engineering with a retro sports look, the Thruxton has long been a popular choice among motorcyclists wishing to experiment with custom paint and the factory special edition introduces two premium colours to the Triumph range for the first time.
Crystal White is a brand new color for Triumph, containing a high metallic content to create a luxurious paint finish while the red powdercoated frame is also a first time feature.
Production of the new Triumph Thruxton Special Edition begins in early 2012.

Triumph is introducing a special edition of its café racer-styled Thruxton, giving a sporty new look to a classic British design.
Triumph is the largest surviving British motorcycle manufacturer. When the Triumph Engineering Co Ltd went into receivership in 1983, John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights from the Official Receiver.
The new company continued Triumph's record of motorcycle production since 1902, making it the world's oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer after Royal Enfield.
