New products in the middle and upper class

Thought further

MOTORRAD has incorporated the two-cylinder ER-6n into other models, Ducati is thinking of achieving sales success with a new engine. At the same time, Suzuki has rethought the B-King issue and is making some competitors think.

An investment in the future made metal «?? that’s what the author called them-

ink this two-cylinder for use in even more models. Which could provide new impulses in the increasingly important middle class.
The Kawasaki developers have dealt intensively with the topic of enduro, but discarded such a project for mass production. MOTORCYCLE suspected,
in favor of a supermoto machine. This light, smart speedster with
Road tires, wide handlebars and enduro suspension travel are currently in fashion and promise greater success. Based on precise knowledge of the
Kawasaki twins and with a heap of fragmentary information, designer Stefan Kraft drew such an ER-6s, s for Supermoto. Has rounded shapes
of the original ER-6n model is pointed and made more angular, the surfaces of the side, cockpit and rear fairing are reduced. As it should be, the front fender also gave up its large area and was moved upwards. In short, the emphasis shifted strongly towards sportiness and driving dynamics. Even the outlet opening of the short muffler under the engine now falls
jagged triangular instead of round.
The bench is mounted several centimeters higher to give a more front-wheel-oriented position and the pilot
enable responsive weight shifting. The pillion seat is very short, but hardly anyone would expect a touring chair on such a motorcycle. More like a second brake disc in the front wheel, which is not necessarily recommended because of the pure braking effect, but to avoid one-sided force transmission into the fork.
In the second ER-6-based study dreamed up by MOTORRAD, the lonely front window is even halfway there
in proper style. After all, the cafe racers from the 1960s, on which the design shown here is based in a retro style, only have one disc brake
carried in their wire-spoke front wheels when they didn’t have drum brakes anyway. A strict application of the cafe racer canon of forms is not appropriate anyway. Because despite
With water cooling and a smooth-surfaced design, the engine fits in credibly with the concept of a purist motorcycle, and that the tubular frame does not

It is also the mesh that the monsters of all Ducatis use most

you already; In these days Ducati has surprisingly conjured up a new engine variant for the middle class. The 620, although always a surprisingly powerful engine for an air-cooled two-valve engine, but lagging behind the competition, was given 77 cubic centimeters more displacement, larger valves and ducts and thus an energetic performance boost. Although the smallest monster engine now comes with two G-Kats and complies with Euro 3, it added ten hp. According to the manufacturer, it should bring 73 HP and a maximum torque of 61 Nm and it is finally the turn of the ER-6, Suzuki SV 650, Bandit 650 and CBF 600, which he has previously had with inferior weapons and at the same time

The second main part of this story also deals with undisguised motorcycles, but with those of a completely different shape. With the greatest of the greatest and strongest of the strongest. A class that actually only emerged with the BMW K 1200 R and

Bought the model name, and now it’s time to build a “real men’s motorcycle” based on the already legendary study, as a cheerful Suzuki employee told us.
Of course, Suzuki wouldn’t be Suzuki if the production motorcycle came up with the same high-tech gimmicks as the study. After all, one of the brand’s traditional virtues is to sell a large number of motorcycles at a lower price than a few extremely expensive status symbols. The series-
B-King drivers will therefore most likely have to do without the activation of the ignition by fingerprint, the theft warning on the cell phone, Internet access and the compressor. And the premium brake calipers from Brembo are likely to have proven large-
serial parts are replaced by Tokico. But seriously: does that bother anyone? Hardly likely. The Hayabusa four-cylinder offers enough power even without a compressor, and fiddling with a conventional ignition key does not reduce driving pleasure.
The news of the acquisition of the naming rights by Suzuki has at least with
Kawasaki provided lively thought and discussion. After all, the Greens only presented an engine in the ZZR 1400 last autumn that would also help a Hyper-Naked to achieve proper driving performance. Contrary to what is on

However, the decision to build such a Z 1400 was far from being made. “We would
to advance into the price class of very expensive and exclusive motorcycles. Good sales figures are currently more important, so we prefer to concentrate on the Z 1000, ”said a Kawasaki spokesman. He was also very critical of the computer graphics of the Japanese motorcycle magazine Young Machine. “On the subject Z 1000 and Z 1400 would give us more one-
fall than just the rear of the ZX-10R
Planting other motorcycles. ”In this sense, his comment on the ER-6s and Cafe Racer designs is praise
to understand. That was short and caught: “No comment. ??
