Victory Hammer --Price,Specs and Features

For the simple and special Hammer models, Victory uses the same 106 ci / 1,731 cc, 4-stroke 50° Freedom V-Twin engine as well as their six-speed overdrive transmission. These two features already qualify the Hammer and Hammer S both as boulevard cruising machines and powerful, efficient open road companions, but there’s actually more to these bikes than just this. For instance, the wheelbase measures 65.7 inches / 1,669 mm and the seat is positioned 26.5 inches / 673 mm from the ground, allowing the average-sized rider to stay in control of his ride at all times. The inverted forks meet the frame at a 32.7-degree rake angle, while the trail is of 5.5 inches / 140 mm, both these figures being meant to establish a thin line between proper handling and custom looks.

Price (2010 Victory Hammer Price )

While the 2010 Victory Hammer comes with an MSRP of $18,999 and the Hammer S an $18,499 one, Victory does offer the 8-Ball model for only a $14,499 starting price, which turns it into the solution for those not willing to go full length for a muscle bike. So I guess this isn’t the king of the lineup, but it looks bad and it’s cheap…enough to make it sell.

Multistrada 1200 S Touring-Engine

 Multistrada 1200 S Touring-Engine Review

Ride-by-Wire

The Ride-by-Wire RbW system is an electronic interface between the twistgrip and the engine which decides the ideal power response depending on the riding mode selected and according to the rider’s throttle input. The twistgrip no longer has a throttle cable connected directly to the throttle body butterflies, but instead delivers a signal to a control unit, which in turn operates the butterfly opening. The RbW system uses three different mappings to regulate the power delivery. The three maps offer 150hp with a sports-type delivery, 150hp with a progressive delivery suitable for touring and 100hp with progressive delivery for city or off-road use.

 Stump Guard

The bike is suitable for off-road riding. Off-road use is enabled by the extra-long travel, reduced-weight suspension, as well as a robust and effective structural sump guard in aluminium which protects the oil sump from bumpy ground .

Emissions

On the new Testastretta 11° engine, this angle has been reduced from 41°, used in the Testastretta Evoluzione engine which powers the 1198, to just 11°. As a result, the fresh inlet charge flow is less compromised by the exiting exhaust gases, resulting in a much smoother combustion in addition to improved fuel economy and lower exhaust emissions. Unburnt hydrocarbon emissions (pre-catalyser) are reduced by up to 65% and specific fuel consumption (and consequent CO2 emissions) by up to 15% (Euro3).

 Vacural® Crankcases

The Testastretta 11° features vacuum die-cast crankcases, formed using Vacural® technology, a process that achieves a significant weight saving and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength.

15,000 mile major service intervals

The Multistrada 1200 has been subjected to the most intensive development program ever. With the goal of setting the bar even higher, Ducati developed revolutionary new features for the 4-bikes-in-1 concept and took aim at industry benchmarks to create a model that would go the distance, both figuratively and literally.

 Torque Assisted slipper-Clutch

The Multistrada 1200 features an oil bath clutch with ‘slipper’ function and super-light feel at the lever. Its design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism that presses the plates together when under drive from the engine, enabling the reduction of the clutch spring rates. This results in a much lighter clutch lever at the handlebar, ideal in stop-start traffic or long journeys. When the drive force is reversed (over-run), the same mechanism reduces the pressure on the clutch plates, enabling them to provide a race-like ‘slipper’ action, which reduces the destabilizing effect of the rear-end under aggressive down-shifting and provides a much smoother feeling when closing the throttle or down-shifting under normal riding conditions

2011 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited Review,Specs and Pictures

There’s little doubt that the three-wheeled Can-Am Spyderhas become a major hit with consumers. Offering superb stability and handling with the benefits of open-air riding, the Spyder’s unique design has undergone a series of revamps each year. Following three successful years of production and after the latest release of the 2010 Can-Am Spyder RT touring roadster, Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) has revolutionized its already unique machine once again with the release of its Spyder RT Limited Edition roadster for 2011.The ‘10 Roadster Touring model offered the public an ideal vehicle for traveling the highway, but the 2011 RT Limited Edition Roadster ups its levels of luxury and comfort. With an integrated color Garmin GPS system, semi-rigid travel bags and a Pearl White color scheme the latest model will give riders the feeling of being in a sports car with the freedom of open-air riding. The Y-architecture of the three-wheel set-up in addition to anti-lock brakes, traction control and an advanced Vehicle Stability System combine to make the riding experience on the roadster safe but thrilling.

"Listening and responding to the feedback of our consumers and dealers is an important part of who we are at BRP,” said Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager, North America division. “The rapidly growing group of Can-Am Spyder owners and dealers are not shy about sharing their ideas and suggestions, and our product development team put their feedback at the heart of the 2011 Spyder roadsters.”

At the center of the roadster’s design is the Rotax 991 electronically fuel injected V-Twin. Capable of  a claimed 100 hp and 80 lb-ft. of torque at 5000 rpm, the machine is powerful enough to haul a full load while making passes. The RT Spyder also comes with cruise control as an added comfort and most models are available with a five-speed semi-automatic electronic transmission that changes gears with the press of a button. Dynamic power steering is available to assist with the Spyder’s handling at different speeds.One of the features to come standard on the 2011 RT and 

RT Limited is an electronically adjusted rear suspension which allows riders to control preload settings on a variety of cargo/passenger configurations. 

Designed to be a comfortable long-distance cruiser, the 2011 Spyder RT puts the rider in an upright riding position while providing excellent wind protection. If the 41-gallon storage capacity is not enough, the optional RT-622 trailer option adds another 165 gallons. The trailers are conveniently available in matching color schemes and the Vehicle Stability System aboard the RT is capable of compensating for the addded weight. BRP has also incorporated multiple improvements in the front suspension of the 2011 RT model which reduces body roll while cornering. 

The handlebar-mounted Garmin Zumo 660 GPS unit is fully integrated with the Roadster’s audio system, allowing turn-by-turn instructions to be heard through the bike’s speakers. The GPS unit is also removable for storage while not being used. Four custom-fit travel bags adorn the front, rear and side cargo compartments to make long-distance travel easier while an embroidered seat puts the final touch on the Spyder RT Limited feature package. 

The RT Limited edition will be one of six available options for the 2011 Can-Am Spyder lineup. Also in the line up are the Spyder RT, Spyder RT-S, Spyder RT Audio & Convenience, Spyder RS and Spyder RS-S.

Those who wish for a slightly edgier design should opt for the 2011 Spyder RS-S version, which presents more aggressive styling than the standard RT or RS models. Several new color options will also be available in ‘11 on the RT and RS models, with Viper Red becoming available on the RT-S edition. 

“When you’re riding any Spyder roadster model, you can feel the excitement its design generates with people all around the world,” said Chris Dawson, vice-president and general manager, International division. “Our designers are constantly working on new colors, trims and accessories that will keep that intense emotional connection people have with the Spyder; it can be seen in the new look of the RS-S and elegance of the RT Limited models.”
