Honda Blade Fighter Modification

Many faithful fans at the Honda hopes Indonesia, attendance at the Blade will bring fresh wind came with a more sophisticated technology, the fuel injection system such as twin relatives in Thailand, the CZ-i 110 or i-Click. In fact, Blade still rely carburetor.

Blade and figures exactly match the CZ-i which was launched in Thailand, July. It appears that the design of the body, lights, close the handlebar, seat and muffler. If there is any different, is the outside layer of the wheels and muffler. If the CZ-i is still on the rim fingers, using the Blade "cast wheel or rim sport. While the graphics are still basically the same shape, but a combination of different colors.

Because it is still on the carburettor, while the questions and answers between the journalist with the management of PT Astra Honda Motor (AHM), the first questions that arise: "Why Honda does not use the injection system on the Blade, as the same product in Thailand?". Best of dilontarkan Johannes Loman, Marketing Director of PT AHM is, "With the price of carburettor Blade, more competitive and affordable for the majority of Indonesian consumers."

For this newest product, AHM offer price of Rp 13.5 million (on the road) to and around Jakarta. Far more affordable than the SupraX 125 PGM-FI offered Rp Rp 16.1 at this time. Blade prices almost near Supra X 125R rim with standard (not "cast wheel").

Because the position is between Blade REVO (100 cc) and the Supra X 125R (125 cc), as the AHM mengategorikannya total new product segment with the new.

Attraction Blade is a more sproty look almost the same as CS (City Sport). This is visible from the front of the design and placement. In the Blade, the lamp is no longer on the front of the bar, but in the "hood" or the front wing. In this way, the front and not sein turn with the handlebar when moved to the right or left. Lights together with the front of this light sein located on both sides.

Fender form or sepatbor front also different. Honda rate of more sporty and stylish. Design of the taillights is a combination of style with white and red. Design duck this product compared with the Honda is the position of the handlebar bend into. Honda-style call "racing". With this, it is expected that, for the motor at this young child, will be easy to maneuver on the curve.

Blade is a result of the framework of the new design. According to Honda, the framework is more robust and tailored to the abilities or performance of the engine more ferocious than the Fit or the REVO.

At the front, between the seats with the bar, given a "cover" or closed position with a higher than normal duck. Similar to that used in the Suzuki Arashi and Yamaha Jupiter MX.
Additional protective machine is located right next to the form of small iron stick in folding and installed near Footstep. Muffler, the muffler on the coated colors designed with oval shape. To prevent the wheels stop rotating when the chain dislodged, Honda complete with stopper.

Machine - To power source, using the Honda SOHC engine with a capacity of 109.1 cc. Energy produced reaches 8.46 PS @ 7500 rpm and torsi 0.86 kgf-m @ 5500 rpm. Thus, its performance is between the REVO and Supra 125.
However, according to K. Fujihara, Leader R & D Honda, Blade 5% more economical than REVO. This is because the engine can be obtained Blade is a new generation of Honda. This machine is rubbing some of its components is lower than other Honda engines. Between piston and rocker arm (valve trigger), the form of a cylinder "off-set", with the piston spray oil reversed, wight a more light and anti-scratch. With development, the fuel consumption in addition to more economical, Honda claims this engine Blade environmentally friendly or meet Euro-2 standard.

Modifikasi Honda Supra X 125

Still repeat the triumph of last with the launching of the product was popular with a new glance, if not careful could be the rather interesting attention of boomerang. In spite of the risk, the effort is still made with wing of berlambang of manufacturer of motor bike Honda red, in order to maintain the reputation of a support supra principal X 125 of product.

Later, the pint Astra Honda circulate in the car (AHM) are ceaseless launched alternatives of means-incentive of news with the minor modification or look at it simply (gone up face). After the alternatives of launching adapt X a certain back of time, turn now in new X supra that 125 series are alleged to have new a company and sharp of design saturdays (8/9) with Bandung.

Not only one product which was launched in the city of the flowers, but two types X supra 125 at the same time, namely this system of injection of carry out of technology (PGM-FI) and the carburetor. Indeed, both only one elevator of face in terms of aspect, but with an engine of execution which was shown in the preceding products, will of AHM remain optimistic more the products.

We do not confuse the elevator of face of limit, but in a more important way we try to meet the consumer than the desire by both our product is, marketing director of pint AHM Johannes Loman.

Change, maintaining with the factory is the designer of 125 DC and seems more in agreement with the sporting spirit this young rider like themselves. Devices which are obvious on the elevator operating system of face with the double of multireflector of lighting of bulb (double bulb).

Lights before Centre and design of just lighting of twilight with the body which looks at more slender than older models and the additional disc brake for the aft wheel (a special standard of frame of wheel) for the factor of safety while leading.

Although it does not change posting, follow-up of a change of configuration of engine, the technology offered on a motor bike to the pedestrian is classified, although one of the alternatives, Honda X supra 125 PGM-FI, now has the technology of injection of carry out . Moreover, the technology of injection on a motor bike which had been previously presented including/understanding Honda is not popular among consumers, in addition to the test results which were made a certain publication of the motor vehicles does not provide the differences in execution and of effectiveness are significant.

As ducks of a motor bike of injection of precursor in Indonesia, the model is always based on technology, modulates it of electronic order (electronic countermeasure), which is identical that the preceding model. The electronic countermeasure is alleged to improve the effectiveness of fuel consumption, because the number of hours and the supply out of fuel are placed with the precision the suitable machine of covering of conditions.

Models X supra 125 PGM fi can produce 7% of fuel consumption is better than the carburetor supra of X 125, and 36% better in comparison with Duck of 100 DC, say the managing director and engineering services AHM Tedjo Siswayo.

Not only that, electronic countermeasure also functions like safety of support of driver of instrument. When the engine in position inclining 55 degrees in time more than 5 seconds, the electronic countermeasure will cease functioning of the injector, the igniter coil and the petrol station, so that the motor bike dies automatically.

However, on the one hand, this device could be a boomerang for the producers not to include/understand consumers due to the system and how that functions. What, if the consumer incline the engine of bicycle accidentally, practical probes which will turn off the engine. In fact, the broad exceptional belief in the user name of mailing list suggest that to avoid technology and the motor bike seemed to be "wet".

While waiting, to supervise the electronic systems work, the spedometer of panel equipped with the indicator of malfunction (millet). The indicator of indication will flicker if an interruption occurs. For example, if there is a flickering of light not less seven times faster, indicating that damage in the temperature sensor of the oil of the engine.

Examine the turn of the media Indonesia, Wednesday (12/9) in the sector of the golf Cimanggis Depok de Bukit, the motor bike will be easy to fold distortion-to block in the medium as well as in the town of mother. Moreover, with the operation of the transmission speed which is easy and sensitive.

In each round of each level in the word rate, the power can be realized with the optimal one. In one to three teeth, speed reached 100 kilometers in little time.

New X supra 125 PGM-FI in Rp15, 7 million, while for the fingers type of rim of carburetor Rp13 offered, 6 million, and Rp14, was juicy 6 (rim packing).

By the presence of a motor bike with a new elevator of strategy the face, trying to unify the AHM with quality and marks which are not independently of the model. Provided that, the elevator of face of strategy later this Honda is not a boomerang, because it simply as a solution of saving in face of strategy only for the resolution of the problems or shame of prevention so that Honda overcomes the competition of in the future in sales of motor bike in duck of Indonesia.

Valentino Rossi wins again duel with fellow Yamaha Jorge Lorenzo. The Italy that eventually became one of the foremost finis in Dutch MotoGP.

Merampungkan 26 lap race at the Assen circuit on Saturday (27/6/2009), Rossi finis step in the sequence are followed by Lorenzo and Casey Stoner on a Ducati.

These results repeat what happened in the Catalunya MotoGP two weekends back. However, the usual grab victory after Rossi duel with Lorenzo to the last bend.

Rossi start from the pole appear relatively dominant. Had lost their position leads, The Doctor merebutnya more in the second lap and mempertahankannya success dikibarkan until the chequered flag.

This result makes Rossi led for a while Klasemen MotoGP drivers alone with 131 points. Following behind are Lorenzo with 126 numbers and 122 numbers with Stoner.

Stoner and Hayden Ready for Race

stoner and hayden

Ducati Marlboro Team riders Casey Stoner and Nicky Hayden are both steeling themselves for a tough battle around the legendary TT circuit at Assen tomorrow after qualifying on 4th and 13th on the grid for the seventh round of the MotoGP World Championship.

Stoner was in impressive form on race tyres, lapping in the low 1’37 mark that looks like being a pace capable of challenging for victory in tomorrow’s race, although when he switched to softer tyres for an assault on the grid positions he was held up by a host of slower riders on track. Hayden was seventh fastest in this morning’s final free practice and despite making a couple of minor wrong turns with his set-up in the afternoon, the American was only 0.010 seconds from a fourth row star.

CASEY STONER (Ducati Marlboro Team) 4th (1’36.633):
"Pretty much all weekend we’ve been very fast on race tyres and even though we’re normally good for a single qualifying lap on a soft tyre we’ve had a few issues here. With my second soft tyre I was up out of the seat a couple of times but we changed it and the next one was a lot better. Unfortunately a couple of riders got in my way, waiting for a two in a dangerous and fast part of the track, which obviously cost me time but could have cost me a whole lot more if I had crashed. It is a frustrating situation which seems to be happening more and more in MotoGP and it is about time something was done to stop it. Thankfully I’m starting from fourth on the grid, which I am fine with because I can still challenge at the front from there and with the times we set today there is no reason not to be confident."

NICKY HAYDEN – (Ducati Marlboro Team) 13th (1’37.759):
“Unfortunately qualifying is not our strong point at the moment but we made some improvements with the bike in free practice this morning. We changed the transmission, which helped a bit, and made a few more tweaks that made the general feeling of the bike a bit better but for the afternoon we tried some stuff that didn’t work so well. We had to go back to what we had this morning and I was only able to go a little bit faster, which is why the qualifying position isn’t great. The cooler track today made it hard to get heat into the left-hand side of the tyre. You don’t get good balance with the single compound tyres around here, for me at least, the right side is really good but it’s hard to get heat into the left. We’ll see what the weather brings, obviously we could do with it being nice and hot, line up and see what we got!”

THREE UK DEBUTS FOR FERRARI AT THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED

Ferrari will be showcasing three exciting new models during the Sunday Times Supercar Run at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed: the California, the Scuderia Spider 16M and the 599 GTB Fiorano with HGTE package.



The Ferrari California is the Prancing Horse’s first front-engined V8 which has been classically styled to echo one of the greatest designs from Ferrari’s history, the 250 GT California. The new California, however, is packed with the latest technology and includes Ferrari’s first dual-clutch 7-speed gearbox, a direct injection 4.3 V8 engine with 460hp, the latest F1-Trac traction control system, a new multi-link rear suspension, and, of course, an innovative retractable folding hardtop that opens or closes in only 14 seconds. The California has already received the critical acclaim of the automotive press around the world, with Top Gear claiming it is a “proper God’s honest, marrow-deep Ferrari”, and Autocar describing it as “absolutely bloody marvellous!”.

The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M is a very special high-performance model launched to commemorate Ferrari’s 16th F1 Constructors’ Title in 2008. Limited to an exclusive 499 examples worldwide, the Scuderia Spider 16M features the same honed-to-perfection handling of the 430 Scuderia, but with some additional livery options, interior detailing and, of course, the extreme thrills that come with open-top motoring in Ferrari’s fastest convertible car around the company’s Fiorano test track in Maranello. The Scuderia Spider 16M has already been described by EVO as “utterly, totally, mesmerisingly visceral” and by CAR as “breathtakingly gorgeous” and “simply biblical”.



The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano with HGTE package completes Ferrari’s presence at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year, with a car that takes the handling of the award-winning 599 GTB Fiorano to another level, with improved steering feel, brake response, throttle response, suspension and traction control settings to ensure the sharpest driving experience of any front-engined V12 GT car on sale today. The HGTE package can also be identified by additional visual cues such as revised front grille, new wheel design, exhaust tips and a bespoke interior with HGTE stitching on the seats. Like the California and the Scuderia Spider 16M, the 599 with HGTE package has received praise from the automotive press, with Performance Car declaring it “Ferrari’s most complete supercar to date” and the Daily Telegraph succumbing to the appeal of a “supercar named desire”.

AUTO HEADLINES

Car ‘train’ could allow drivers to eat and sleep at the wheel

Drivers will be able to sleep, read, eat, work or watch television behind the wheel of their cars at 70mph on the motorway, using technology being developed by scientists.

A system which will ‘lock’ cars together using sensors and wireless technology, allowing up to 10 at a time to cruise in ‘car train’ convoys could be unveiled within two years.

Sensors would synchronise each car to follow in the wake of the vehicle directly ahead, with a laser calculating the speed relative to other cars. The only steering and braking would be done by a professional driver at the front of the convoy.

The technology is being developed by Volvo, which expects cars to travel three-feet apart to stay in contact. Volvo and six other companies, including UK technology form Ricardo are working on the project.

It is hoped that a prototype could be launched in 2011 with the technology rolled out across Europe by 2018.

Drivers would pay a subscription of around 10p for every 1.6 miles travelled and would have to book ahead to secure a place in the convoy at a designated time or particular slip road.

They would then join the convoy at the back and allow the system to ‘lock’ them in the steering and braking patterns of the vehicles ahead.

At the point where the driver has booked to leave the convoy, their car would be guided by the new technology on their chosen slip road.

Although Volvo is the only vehicle manufacturer developing the scheme, drivers of other models would be able to join the convoy if the had the right technology. (Mail on Sunday: June 21).

Toyota to extend hybrid to all model ranges by 2020

Toyota is aiming to offer a hybrid-powered version of every one of its passenger cars by the end of the next decade.
Currently the brand only offers one hybrid - the upper medium Prius - but it’s expected that the lower medium Auris will be the next in 2010. The Yaris should then offer a supermini version in 2011.

The company will then look to offer a hybrid version with every all-new model. It is expected the brand’s whole range will offer the option of a petrol hybrid powertrain within 11 years. (BusinessCar.co.uk: June 22).

JAMES HALE INTERVIEW (PART 1)

IN THE NEWS

GM plans comeback ahead of schedule

General Motors is preparing to relaunch itself as a leaner company by mid-July, a month earlier than envisaged when the Detroit carmaker filed for bankruptcy protection on June 1.

The judge overseeing GM’s chapter 11 case has set today (June 19) as the deadline for objections to its restructuring plan for most parties.

Barring a surprise, GM and its advisers are confident that none of the roughly 500 objections submitted so far will derail the timetable.

Most of the objections raised so far relate to suppliers’ concerns about the amount and timing of payments by the ‘new’ GM under contracts taken on by the existing company.

Assets of the ‘old’ GM will remain in chapter 11 to be sold or wound down for the benefit of creditors. (Financial Times: June 19).

Fiat calls for restructuring of global motor industry

Fiat has called for a ‘serious restructuring’ of the global automotive industry if it is to be economically viable.

The manufacturer, which is restructuring itself in the wake of its takeover of Chrysler, said the move was ‘absolutely necessary’ to address production overcapacity.

Fiat has predicted that utilisation of carmaking capacity in Europe will fall 65% this year.

PricewaterhouseCoopers has estimated that the industry has near-record capacity to make 86 million units this year, compared with the 55m vehicles that carmakers will actually build. (Financial Times/The Times: June 19).
