What costs used bikes?

Cross-over is trump – like the car
The current trends: Cross-over bikes, which are mainly respected new and returnees, security technology such as ABS or the airbag available in the Gold Wing and simply new motor technology for even more power.
Courage to design demonstrates the futuristic Kawasaki Z 1000, while YZF-R1 from Yamaha should be beaten faster with her 189 hp hearts of the skew fanatics. Weaker – but hardly boring – rolls the fundamentally revised CBR 600 RR at the start. The new "double-R" impresses with its sensational dry weight of 155 kilos. With 120 hp and a 75 kilogram driver in heavy equipment, this results in a power weight of two kilograms per PS – this is Bugatti Veyron Level and shows where part of motorcycle fascination comes from.
Cruisen remains modern
Dignified make it cruiser like the XVS 1300 A Midnight Star of Yamaha or Kawasakis VN 900 Custom. And also from Milwaukee there are news: Harley toying with the series introduction of the XR 1200 presented as a prototype in the design of the legendary Dirt Track Racers XR 750. An air-cooled V-twin with 85 to 90 hp and a sports suspension with upside-down fork form the technical base of the machine. If she comes, probably also decides the interest of visitors in Cologne.
Performance and Supermoto
Tour driver, on the other hand, will probably get the sight of the sporty long-distance machine GTR 1400 wet eyes, whose engine and chassis are based on the 190 hp sports tours ZZR 1400.
SUZUKI – with the new Bandit 1250 and Triumph with the new Tiger 1050 with its light metal casting frame also sat down on increased displacement pleasure. The increase of the displacement to 1050 cubic as well as the dry weight of 198 kilograms are likely to stand for dynamic driving pleasure.
Whorth new is the G series of BMW with three single-cylinder models. Also new at BMW: The HP 2 Megamoto, a street-oriented matched four-valve boxer with 113 hp. In addition, BMW presents the half-switching K 1200 R sports on the basis of the K 1200 R.
A new Supermoto shows KTM: The 690 SM with 690 cm³-cc of single cylinders makes 63 hp and will take you only 152 kilograms on the scales. Particularly striking on the outer appearance are the extremely steeply drawn down silencer.

  1. Intermot
    The Intermot was very informative, unfortunately the many quads, karts and buggies have disturbed. Such funmobiles have nothing to look for on a motorcycle fair. The hall assembly with the signpost was also very scratch. Since I found the Intermot in Munich the last three times a thousand times better. I hope in 2 years have learned the organizers from it, otherwise I was there for the last time.
