			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Yamaha YZF-R15 the 150cc Sportbike .</strong></p>
<p> Rumors of Yamaha entering the 150cc range of sport bikes is getting bigger by the day, the new motorcycle would as the story go’s be the Yamaha YZF-R15 a 150cc full fairing motorcycle, with the highest horsepower engine (22hp) in its class at a dry weight of just 120kilo.</p>
<p>If the rumors are correct, then Yamaha will take the crown in the 150cc range from the Honda CBR-150R. The Yamaha YZF-R15 is supposed to be a four-stroke, liquid cooled single cylinder, 4-valve SOHC, 149.8cc engine with oil-cooling and electric fuel injection.</p>
<p>To quote an insiders at Yamaha the Yamaha YZF-R15 would be a real R-series and is packed with Grand Prix technology. The Yamaha YZF-R15 will deliver stunning R-Series styling and exhilarating sports performance. A highly sporty constant mesh, 6-speed transmission system, with Yamaha own wet sump (Yamalub) lubrication system.</p>
<p>The chassis is a high tensile steel deltabox design, familiar to what we seen with the Yamaha YZF-125 and the Yamaha GP250 bike. The rumor of the Yamaha YZF-R15 tells that this radical, high-revving, fuel-injected 150cc is the work of the same engineers who created our YZF-R1 and YZF-R6 supersport bikes and the YZF-R15 is capable to deliver stunning 150cc performance.</p>

<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">There I was flat out on the Pune &#8211; Ahmednagar highway, in a very good frame of mind after testing the Karizma and heading back to base. The new 223cc bike from Hero Honda had impressed yours truly and our <a target="_top" href="http://www.indiabike.com/roadtest/karizma_o/index.htm#" id="KonaLink2" class="kLink"><font size="2" color="#ffa500"><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">road </span><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">test</span></font></a> expert Aspi Bhathena no end with its <font color="#000000">Performance</font>, not beccause it had clocked the quickest acceleration and roll-on times plus also recorded the fastest speed for a present day production motorcycle but because the bike was in too mellow a state of tune and therefore had tremendous potential to perform even quicker and faster!</p>
<p>With this thought paramount in my mind and the bike really zinging that day in the fourth and fifth cogs for much of the 120km run, I guess it was all going too much to my head as I came upon an open stretch of road with a slight uphill section curving to the left. What I saw was no traffic when all of a sudden a <a target="_top" href="http://www.indiabike.com/roadtest/karizma_o/index.htm#" id="KonaLink3" class="kLink"><font size="2" color="#ffa500"><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">cyclist</span></font></a> with a large trunk crawled out of the woodwork and suddenly decided to do his variation on the twirl perfected by John Travolta in Grease but right in my intended flight path. While it looked pleasing and aesthetic in the film, it was anything but so <font size="1" color="#000000" face="Verdana">On the Road</font>. While Travolta and team delighted the audience, here the audience suddenly had his heart in his mouth. The one bit which is obviously a sore point (of just a few such) on the new Hero Honda was proved no end and I am referring to the inadequacy of the horn because I am sure the cyclist never heard it and in the whirl of those few seconds it didn&#8217;t ring a bell in my ears as well!</p>
<p>But in case you are thinking about a stunning crash scene as in Grease there was no such thing. The superb dynamic balance of the Karizma with its highly pleasing <a target="_top" href="http://www.indiabike.com/roadtest/karizma_o/index.htm#" id="KonaLink4" class="kLink"><font size="2" color="#ffa500"><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">weight </span><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">distribution</span></font></a> and suspension geometry came to my rescue as did the fantastic 276mm dia <a target="_top" href="http://www.indiabike.com/roadtest/karizma_o/index.htm#" id="KonaLink5" class="kLink"><font size="2" color="#ffa500"><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">disc </span><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">brake</span></font></a> up front (courtesy a new player in the motorcycle brake market &#8211; Tata Yutaxa). A slight squeeze on the <a target="_top" href="http://www.indiabike.com/roadtest/karizma_o/index.htm#" id="KonaLink6" class="kLink"><font size="2" color="#ffa500"><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">front </span><span style="font-weight:400;color:orange !important;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;position:relative;" class="kLink">brake</span></font></a> lever, a rapid downshift to third from fifth, a blip on the throttle and the gyrating bicyclist was passed with metres to spare and thankfully no contact. For a moment I thought it was all going to end in tears but when I had got my breath back and was motoring sedately (if cruising at 110kmph can be called that on our roads), I once again began to appreciate what a fantastic bike Hero Honda had produced. In fact by the time I had ended doing the test the Karizma had done enough to wipe out the memories of the CBZ which had promised much but had failed to deliver, and it further emphasised that it was the best bike ever made by Hero Honda but with tremendous potential yet lurking to be unleashed should the competition cook up some goodies on similar lines.</p>
<p>It is a different way to start a road test report but then this is a different bike in itself and unlike any from Hero Honda. In fact Hero Honda officials have had their run-ins with us on many an occasion because rightly or wrongly their econo-misers have not impressed us much with their dynamic ability and those which have, do not pack in much to enthuse on the <font color="#000000">Performance</font> front. With the Karizma, I think that they finally have made a bike which has the potential to silence doubters like yours truly but here again they have failed because instead of silencing they have everyone of our <font color="#000000">Performance</font> driven staffers yelling out in glee! Sometimes &#8216;even when you win you lose&#8217; sort of syndrome (works the other way round as well) but better for Hero Honda to be saddled with such than nothing at all.</font></p>

<p></a>Boys will be boys, and at any given day they will swoon over a bike. And now bike lovers are getting their mean machines modified to match their dream machines &#8211; Hayabusa, Yamaha R1, Honda CBR and Harley Davidson.Sumesh Suri, consultant with an American Company owns an Enfield, which he got modified. He has given it a &#8216;chopper&#8217; look. It is called chopper because the frame of the bike was chopped into half and then extended by 18 inches. Suri spent around Rs 70,000 to give his bike a personal touch. Atul Rahi, CEO of Metal Leopard is a bike modifier &#8211; someone who can breathe life into your dream machine. He says, &#8220;The bikes in question are often new and sometimes straight out of the showrooms. The charges for modification are anything between Rs Rs 50,000 and Rs 85,000. People also come with their own designs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Modifications are of two kinds, partial or complete. In partial modification, only certain parts are changed. For instance, increasing the wheelbase means increased grip on the road but that decreases the average of the bike. In full modification, the bike is totally transformed into the replica of the bike the customer wants to have.The bikes they get for modification are generally Enfield, Yamaha Enticer, Avenger, Eliminator, Pulsar, Karizma, Fiero. But who are these bikers? It is the 25-30 lot, and they generally want to modify the alloy wheel, side view mirror, tyres and shockers.</p>
<p>Amanpreet Ahluwalia, general manager Speedbug, a car modification workshop says, &#8220;People generally come to us when the bike is little old and they want to give it a new look.&#8221; He says, &#8220;They want us to change the border tyre, ferrings, put disc brakes, tank cover, have mono-shock and racing handles. And for this, people are ready to shell out anywhere from Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 on the modification of their bikes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Suri&#8217;s bike was also displayed in the auto-expo last year. He says, &#8220;I don&#8217;t care about the average of the bike because when I can spend so much on the bike means that I am concerned about its look.&#8221; The average of the bike certainly comes down but this is not something bike lovers are bothered about. After all, good things come at a price.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><font size="2"><font face="Arial"><a href="http://bikezfreek.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/rtr.jpg" title="Apache RTR 160cc.">Apache RTR 160cc.</a></font></font></strong></p>
<p></a></font></font></strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong><font size="2"><font face="Arial">The Apache RTR 160cc has all the makings of a lean, mean and wild machine; the latest Apache to hit the Indian roads, it takes over from where the older TVS Motors offerings left off: get reading to earn your racing stripes, true-blue bikers!</font></font></strong><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"> </font></strong></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial">Known for its affinity to techno-savvy bike designing and accessorizing flanks with sensational stylizing, TVS Motors has more than adequate ammo for capturing a whole new bike-loving segment in India and converting old-faithfuls from other established brand loyalty status to potential owners of a technologically advanced and powerful riding experience: <strong>the new Apache 160 unveiled! </strong>While the earlier model did not receive the attention it deserved, due to limited marketing and advertising exposure, the new RTR 160 plans to take over the remaining customers who were not reachable through inadequate outreach sales programs and is all set to win hearts and sales targets where its predecessor, the Apache 150 failed.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial">Measuring 2020 mm in length and 1050 mm high, the new Apache has a slightly longer wheel base of 1300 mm, an increase of 40mm over its predecessor. However, the weights of both the bikes are the same, at 136 Kg. A brand new look to the body of the bike is contained in features like bright colors and ready to race graphics generously incorporated into the Apache 160’s looks; black alloys compete with red striping for attention and extend all the way from the mudguard to the petrol tank, trailing off towards the tail lamp section. A black footrest from its hey-days has rightly given way to machined aluminum upgrade while floral-cut disc brakes grant the TVS Apache RTR its racing stripes. To earn yours, you need to look beyond the initial eye-candy it affords with the digital readout speedometer and the analogue RPM meter alongside, similar to the already high-selling Bajaj Pulsar. These integrated looks digital controls on the Apache RTR bike afford riders the ability to check on speed, fuel, odometer and distance readings while serving the purpose of nagging spouses by giving a service-due reminder too.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial"> </font><strong><font size="2"><font face="Arial">More in store for the man looking for a fitting companion for long rides on lonely streets: the Apache RTR bike is not short of either powered performance or external beauty. Here’s the lowdown:</font></font></strong><strong><font size="2" face="Arial"> </font></strong></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial">Dual triangular LED tail lamp features are arresting enough for the first-time looker but what calls for a second glance towards the Apache RTR 160 lies beyond the integrated reflex reflector: the entire riding position is made affordable in a way that lends ergonomics a whole new meaning, with style and comfort adequately provided for. The handlebar of the Apache RTR can be adjusted to accommodate the rider’s height and requirements for comfortable handling while strong front suspension with telescopic forks and 105mm stroke and rear suspension granted spring aid make for safe and effortless riding pleasure. Braking system remains almost the same as the Apache 150 with Disc in the front and drum in rear, however, the front disc diameter has been slightly increased by 30mm to 270mm, for effective braking.</font></p>
<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial"> </font><strong><font size="2"><font face="Arial">Pricing perfect, wide wheel and tire ratios makes for road and ride-worthiness factors in the four stroke, single cylinder 15.2bhp (at 8500rpm) Apache RTR, a great buy for bold bikers!</font></font></strong></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"><font face="Arial">The Apache RTR comes with a price tag of Rs.65, 000 with color choices of Red, Yellow, Silver, Black and Titanium; its closest competitors are the Bajaj Pulsar and Honda Unicorn, both being considerably higher in price ranges. This makes the Apache RTR from TVS Motors a real bargain deal for similar style treatment and quality riding experience. So, are you ready to rule the roads yet?</font></span></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;"></span></p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><img width="723" src="http://bikezfreek.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/cbz3.jpg?w=723&#038;h=574" alt="CBZ EXTREME.." height="574" style="width:566px;height:514px;" /></p>
<p></a></p>
<p align="center">So here comes <a href="http://www.herohonda.com/index.htm"><font color="#ff3333">Hero Honda Motors</font></a> with a new product that it advertises as the <a href="http://www.cbzxtreme.com/"><font color="#ff3333">CBZ Xtreme</font></a>. Taglines like “<em>Blink, and you will miss it!</em>“, or “<em>Once you see it, impossible to forget!</em>” hyped the product up, like never before. If you had followed the Indian biking scenario, and saw this kind of advertising, you would be thinking the CBZ Xtreme to be at least a quarter-litre bike delivering 25+ bhp (One wouldnt expect litre class bikes from HH, after Honda has entered India on its own).</p>
<p align="center">Ah! But that is the twist in the story. The CBZ Xtreme is a bike in the 150cc class, which is.. the same class as the original CBZ was! Shaking your head in disbelief? Dont, not yet! There’s more to it.<span></span></p>
<p align="center">First, the power &#8211; reportedly a increase to….14bhp(from 12.62)! Didnt you jump with joy? No? <em>Not even for that extreme hike in power?</em> Well, never you mind, I have more info for you to jump with joy on.</p>

<p></a></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">Hero Honda’s newest member in the premium segment <strong>‘HUNK’ </strong>(Err…What name?) <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News_by_Industry/Hero_Honda_launches_Hunk_at_Rs_55000/articleshow/2466153.cms"><font color="#7f1d1d">has been launched</font></a> today, with a price tag of Rs. 55K (Ex showroom Delhi). The Hunk Does not come with all the features that <a href="http://malteshashrit.wordpress.com/2007/10/15/rumor-hero-honda-to-launch-a-new-bike-called-the-hunk/"><font color="#7f1d1d">it was speculated to come with</font></a>, and is a 150cc premium segment bike, sharing a tweaked engine with <a href="http://malteshashrit.wordpress.com/2006/10/16/nuthin-xtreme/"><font color="#7f1d1d">CBZ Xtreme</font></a>. The engine volumes 149.2cc and produces 14.2 bhp @ 8500rpm with a max torque of 12.8Nm @ 6500rpm.</p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span></span></p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">The Hunk now comes with gas charged, adjustable rear shocks (first on a Hero Honda) and no mono shock as expected. There’s a new tank design with a fairing extending from it. The tail piece though is disappointingly similar to Hero Honda’s Ambition. No Digital instrumentation, no LED tail lamps, no rear discs, no split rear grabs, no body colored mirrors and full fairing as expected but you can do without them either.</p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal"> There some freshness in the bike’s design by means of the new tank and a new bikini fairing (not the one that I would hate in the CBZX), but the tail piece though could have been improved. The design however feels very Apache-ish in terms of the tank design and the rear tail piece. Similarities in looks can also be drawn to Yamaha YBR 250, but of course I am not belittling Hero Honda’s efforts in to the design. I do criticize Hero Honda for their sticker upgrades; this one thankfully has no silly stickers stuck around, surprising right?</p>
<p align="center" style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">The bike is <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/News_by_Industry/Hero_Honda_launches_Hunk_at_Rs_55000/articleshow/2466153.cms"><font color="#7f1d1d">available in two options</font></a>, kick start and self with the self start option being at Rs 57K (Ex Delhi).<span> </span>Here are the rest of the tech specs as posted by Diesel on <a href="http://www.autocarindia.com/new/autocar_forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=380"><font color="#7f1d1d">Autocar India Forum</font></a>.</p>
