Tribute Black NSR

Februari 2008 menyaksikan perubahan kepada nsr merah dimana warnanya bertukar kepada warna asal seperti yang dinyatakan di dalam geran, hitam. Namun jodohnya bersamaku tidak lama kerana terpaksa dijual sebagai modal untuk memajukan lagi perniagaan.


Dua gambar kenangan terakhir.Dijual dengan harga RM2100 setelah bersama selama hampir 4 tahun. Harga dibeli RM7000. Maka berakhirlah kisah nsrku. mudah-mudahan dia lebih gembira bersamatuan yang baru. Sekian..

Honda CBR150R


Before Hong Leong Yamaha release FZ150i, honda have released its own 150cc 4 stroke bike which is CBR150R, Yamaha FZ was released months after that to compete with this cbr market. Altough it have the same engine capacity, CBR is a sportbike with full fairing and of course with full specification and higher cost. Oneof my collegeous bought this bike and it seems pretty small. Not very suitable for big person i think. Malaysian consumer claims this bike as very powerful for a 4 stroke bike as it have the DOHC system built.Many says that it can reach 160KMh. Hoping toget achance to test that one day. For Malaysian buyer who needs power and performance. CBR is definitely better than the nzked FZ.

New Kawasaki Ninja 250R


Last month..Kawasaki released a new ninja 250R. We can call it a new version of zzr. Although it does not sound like ZX2R but at least it has a superbike look. Below isthespecification of the bikefrom kawasaki.com

DOHC 249cc Parallel Twin-cylinder Engine
- Compact parallel-twin design offers good mass centralization for superior handling
- Tuned to deliver smooth, step-free power with an emphasis on low- and mid-range power for rider-friendly response
- Pistons feature reinforced heads and strengthening in the pin boss area for increased durability
- Thick piston (longitudinally) rings help minimize oil consumption
- Combustion chamber design optimized to maximize combustion efficiency and reduce emissions
- Ample high-rpm performance will please riders using the full range of the engine

Cylinder head
- Refined intake and exhaust ports contribute to good off-idle response and smooth power delivery
- Valve timing and lift were designed for strong low- and mid-range torque
- Direct valve actuation ensures reliable high-rpm operability
- Valves with thin heads and stems reduce reciprocating weight

Carburetor
- Twin Keihin CVK30 carburetors fine-tuned for good power feel and low fuel consumption

Exhaust system
- 2-into-1 system contributes to the Ninja 250R’s low- and mid-range torque and smooth, step-free power curve
- Slightly upswept silencer extensively tested to determine chamber size, connecting pipe length and diameter to achieve least noise and most power
- Meets strict emissions with dual catalyzers; one in the collector pipe and the other in the silencer
- Using two catalyzers minimizes the power loss
- Positioning the first catalyzer as close to the exhaust ports maximizes its efficiency as well

Reduced mechanical noise
- Cam chain tensioner with an automatic adjuster, like that on the KX™450F motocrosser, eliminates mechanical noise caused by a loose cam chain and reduces power-robbing friction loss
- Silencing mechanical noise allows the use of a freer flowing exhaust for a better sound quality
- Complex construction with reinforcing ribs helps eliminate airbox reverberation and reduce intake noise
- Air filter accessible from the side, for easy replacement

Liquid Cooling
- Latest generation Denso radiator offers superior cooling with minimal space and weight
- Ring-fan uses a quiet-running motor that also saves space
- Fins on the lower side of the crankcase further helps cool the engine

Six-speed Transmission / Clutch
- Involute splines reduce friction and backlash between gears and shafts for easier gear meshing and smooth shifting under power
- Spring-type clutch damper reduces jerkiness at very low speeds and minimizes shocks when rolling on and off the throttle for a smoother clutch feel
- Paper-base friction plates help increase clutch durability

Chassis
- Sturdy and durable diamond-style frame of thick-walled steel tubing offers confidence-inspiring stability at both high and low speeds
- Beefy swingarm bracket contributes to the frame’s rigidity and helps achieve an ideal chassis stiffness balance
- Square-tube swingarm with a 60 x 30mm cross-section further adds to rigidity

Suspension
- New 37mm telescopic front fork with firm settings contribute to the Ninja 250R’s smooth, stable handling and enhanced ride control
- Uni-Trak rear suspension compliments the rigid frame and re-tuned fork and provides great road holding ability
- Rear shock features 5-way adjustable preload, enabling ride height to be maintained whether riding solo or with a passenger

Wheels / Tires
- Features 17” wheels like its larger supersport brothers
- Low-profile sportbike tires on wide rims contribute to its easy, neutral handling at low speeds

Brakes
- Large-diameter, 290mm front petal disc and a balanced action two-piston caliper offers excellent braking performance and a natural, direct feeling at the lever
- Two-piston caliper grips the rear 220mm petal disc

Ergonomics
- Natural riding position with slightly forward-slanting seat and wide, raised handlebars

Bodywork
- Styling matches its larger-displacement Ninja supersport siblings
- Fit and finish of striking full-fairing bodywork on par with that of top-class Ninja supersports
- Aggressive dual-lamp headlight design, slim tail cowl and separate seats further enhance the supersport look
- Front cowling and windscreen offer the rider a substantial amount of wind protection
- Two helmet holders conveniently located under the rear seat
- Under-seat storage can hold a U-lock or similar device
- Two hooks under the tail and the rear passenger pegs provide anchor points for securing items to the rear of the bike

Instrumentation
- Instrument panel features an easy-to-read, large-face analog speedometer along with an analog tachometer, odometer, trip meter, fuel gauge and warning lights

I was hoping to grab one of this bikes but it is out ofmy budget. OTR price is around 20k. NVM, i just wait for the rivals to release competitive bikes to this one
