With bikes as successful as the Kawasaki Z750, Yamaha FZ8 or the Triumph Street Triple conquering the hearts of the fans, Suzuki needed a product to live up to successfully enter this segment. While it is true that the GSR600 worked very well in his early exit to the street, we can not deny that he had become somewhat outdated in terms of lines and performance compared to its rivals.

Now Suzuki has responded in time with the launch of its new GSR750, a bike designed for the general public and that has all the qualities to become a commercial success. Its main attractions are a very attractive design, a powerful engine and measurable and competitive price: 8199 euros.

Motor sport based

The new machine equips the engine proved more than the GSX-R 750 2005. That it has been reviewed and modified to deliver power from below and not be so explosive at high rpm. That is the driving 6 years ago means nothing, because it has been the logical evolution of the technique as it has happened to the GSX-R 750 sporting this year also inherits it.

At first glance the bike exudes sportiness, and when you get into it more lively expect a reaction. However, the feeling that you passed in the early miles of a bike is very docile and manageable. It does not take to get used to it. Throttle response is strong and predictable, which gives you extra confidence. Pushing hard from a very low, we note that Suzuki have worked hard in this area, and when you approach the 8,000 laps vein gets your motor sports hides.

The new MV Agusta F4 2012 R has been designed to offer customers a superbike with extreme behavior. The best representation of this is the new engine Corsa Corta already used in the F4 RR. The new line four-cylinder engine is the heart of the MV Agusta F4 R. Thermodynamics has been completely redesigned. The engine is capable of reaching the speed of a motorcycle of pure competition.

The displacement is 998cc and reaches 13,700 rpm 195cv yielding a power at 13,000 rpm. The remaining details of construction are similar to the F4 RR superbike. The new engine is intended to reduce internal friction to a minimum. This remarkable engine with the best patents of MV Agusta is combined with a gearbox 6 speed that ensures you complete control even in the most violent braking maneuvers. In addition, the electronic system has been evolved with a traction control that uses a new algorithm with several engine maps selectable.

Important changes to the sisters ER-6. Both the ER-6n and ER-6f’s have a revised 649cc two-cylinder engine that promises better performance. Its size has been reduced and is something that has improved the whole. As for the chassis, the chassis is narrower and seat provides greater comfort and easier driving. The rigidity balance of the new chassis and swingarm, and new suspension settings, favor driving easier, while maintaining the sporty nature of the previous model. And thanks to the feet can reach the ground more easily and the new seat, which provides convenience and comfort, the new ER-6f has never been so accessible as now. The balance of chassis rigidity dual rocker beam and creates a lighter and easier to ride.

The new design dual swing arm uses a D-shaped beam (beam upper right), which provides optimum rigidity.

The suspension has been revised to achieve a career long front and rear, which results in a sporty and improved comfort. The
career and the length of the rear suspension is 2 mm long, while the front fork is 5 mm longer and his career it is 5 mm, for
correspond well to the rear. The longer races allow lower compression rates. The fork tubes have slipped 4 mm downwards
inside the tubes (the height of the steerer tube has been reduced by 4 mm). The damping has been revised accordingly.

The driving position is specifically designed to inspire confidence in the pilot. The ideal relationship between the handlebars, seat and footrest means a comfortable and natural position suitable for a wide variety of drivers.

About the new design, the ER-6 Ninja style inherited, although a little more aggressive after testing in a wind tunnel. In addition, the ER-6f has a new windshield.

The bike is perfect not only for urban routes but for motorways and mountain roads. It is also a very affordable bike for novice drivers, but the more experienced will appreciate.

Kawasaki ZZR1400 comes renewed, undoubtedly the most impressive model of the factory in Akashi, who returns with even more force. The engine power increases from 193 of the current (2008) to the 200hp, which adds a touch of more radical if possible.

Kawasaki has introduced a sophisticated new traction control with two modes of motor. The clutch has also been improved with a locking system that ensures a very smooth behavior. In addition, since Kawasaki say that besides being easier to conduct this “bicharraco” comfort is improved by reducing the vibration almost completely.

The easy handling and comfort are probably due to the new chassis, narrower than its predecessor. In terms of design, continues to maintain that aspect radical, even with the increased lateral gills that recall the style of the old sport-tourism. Optics also have merged from four to two large glasses

Improvements in suspension, the swingarm and the inclusion of new tires and ABS as standard, makes the Kawasaki ZZR1400 a priori highly recommended option.

The best advertising is often the things that is taken less seriously. All agree that ads full of irony and humor intelligent are often the most capture our attention and linger in the mind.
