Yamaha FZ6R Review

Results of the experiment, test drives and the other, yamaha FZ6R has a special attraction and the more he explained, is below that I quoted from: www.beginnermotorcyclereviews.com

Most of the competition of theYamaha FZ6R pack their mid-range sport bikes with v-twin or parallel-twin engines (the Kawasaki Ninja 650R and Suzuki SV650 come to mind), so it’s a somewhat odd choice for Yamaha to give it’s new-for-2009 FZ6R an inline 4 that has been taken from the last generation R6 (Yamaha’s 600cc super-sport model).

Not that it’s a bad thing, as the 600cc former-R6 motor is excellent and has all of the latest features, including digital fuel injection. Some may note that Yamaha has had the FZ6 on the market for some time, and that’s true, but the all-new faired version of the bike (aptly named the FZ6R) is brand new for 2009 and a serious contender for this segment. The Suzuki SV650 had enjoyed being the de-facto standard for a while (despite intense competition from the Kawasaki Ninja 650R), but the FZ6R promises to take a substantial chunk from Suzuki’s bottom line.

This bike could be the perfect bike for someone looking for something sporty, easy to ride, and capable on the highway. Moreover, the suspension has been designed to remain as responsive on a mountain road as it is in big city traffic. It certainly feels taut, though it is also quite comfortable. Every time we get on one we find ourselves blending right in with the bike- a very good trait to have.

Yamaha has been very hush-hush about engine specifications, though we suspect that this bike has roughly 75-80 horsepower and around 45-50 ft-lbs of torque. Yamaha claims that maximum power delivery is at 10,000 rpm and we agree- this bike feels at its best in the middle-upper end of its power band. Riders used to torquey v-twins may need to take some time getting used to the FZ6R’s power band, but once you are comfortable with it you suddenly find that the power is very easy to take advantage of.

We prefer the SV650’s motor to the one in the FZ6R as we find that it is less peaky, and hence more suited to city riding. Of course, we also share a bit of a bias having plenty of experience with the SV650. The Ninja 650R also rallies right on in with the FZ6R, though we prefer the looks of the Ninja. With that in mind, the FZ6R does have a more aggressive appearance, and it has a larger selection of color schemes than the Ninja.

Once you’re on the bike and comfortable with it the bike becomes very predictable. It’s a very solid bike to ride and one that new or even experienced riders will enjoy. Riders that are looking at the Ninja 650R or SV650S would be doing themselves no justice in overlooking Yamaha’s sporty and exciting FZ6R.
The Bottom Line:

The FZ6R is a great addition to the middleweight section by Yamaha, and one that new riders looking for a middleweight bike should definitely consider. A powerful inline-4 and sporting suspension combine to make a solid platform that anyone can appreciate.
Yamaha FZ6R Update – July 30, 2009

It was by chance that the yellow-decaled 2009 Yamaha FZ6R sat before me, propped ever-so-gingerly on its kick-stand. I’ve always been partial for the “twins” when it comes to a good all around motorcycle that a beginner could feasibly hop on and ride without too much fuss. The Yamaha FZ6R, with its inline-four cylinder engine and relatively peaky power band (compared to the Kawasaki Ninja 650R or Suzuki SV650) didn’t seem like the kind of bike that we’d be gung-ho over.

However, as you could tell from our review, we quite liked the FZ6R. When we reviewed it back in late-January we found it to be a responsive, peppy machine that any rider, regardless of experience, would enjoy. This, of course, brings us back to today.

At a local meet and greet I happened to come across a rider who, ironically, had read a review of the Yamaha FZ6R on this website (I didn’t think beginner motorcycle reviews was that popular yet). As you can imagine, after a bit of conversation and some analysis into what a beginner motorcycle truly is, I quickly found myself sitting on a Yamaha FZ6R. The fellow I had met took the reins of my Suzuki SV650.

Not only that, but a friend of mine who owns a Kawasaki Ninja 650R happend to be there as well (read our 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 650R review). It didn’t take long before the three of us were out on the highway.

I’d like to officially change my opinion on the FZ6R, having found it to be an exceptional motorcycle that any new rider that feels confident, or any experienced rider looking for some inexpensive fun, will have have a blast riding. Through the corners the FZ6R feels taught and refined, with suspension that’s quite stiff – if almost too stiff – and incredibly responsive. I was able to throw this bike around and, like clockwork, know exactly how it was going to respond.

Acceleration is slightly behind the Ninja 650R or SV650S in the lower portion of the rev band, but once you hit around 8,000rpm it takes right off. Though it didn’t leave the Kawi or Suzuki in the dust, it did pull on both bikes through most of third and fourth gear. Very, very cool.

At the end of the evening, when I was forced to return the Yamaha FZ6R to its rightful owner, I found myself wishing for its smooth power delivery and excellent riding dynamics during my ride home. It’s official: The SV650 has been replaced by the FZ6R as my favorite all-around motorcycle.

2009 Yamaha YZ6R

The 2009 Yamaha FZ6R might resemble the aggressive R6 at first glance, but it's actually a new fully-faired variant of the naked FZ6. Tweaked to appeal to newer riders who don't want to give up sporty looks or street cred, the FZ6R attempts to combine everyday rideability with decent performance. Does it deliver?
The Goods: FZ6-Derived
At the heart of the 2009 Yamaha FZ6R is an 600cc water-cooled inline-4 based on the FZ6 mill, with a number of mods including camshaft timing tuned for more low and mid-range torque and a larger air box. Mikuni fuel injection features four 32 mm throttle bodies, and the new engine promises 43 miles per gallon, an 8 percent improvement over the FZ6.

The powerplant mates to a 6-speed transmission, and a small mid-mounted 4-2-1 exhaust looks similar to the unit found on the R6. The engine acts as a stressed member, and is rigid mounted in a new steel frame. The front fork is a non-adjustable 41 mm SOQI unit, and the rear is a preload-adjustable SOQI. Brembo master cylinders grace the dual disc front and single disc rear brakes.

Compared to the FZ6, the FZ6R’s handlebar position is 12 mm rearward and 12 mm lower, while the seat is 4 mm forward and 2 mm lower; these changes shrink the rider triangle, making the bike feel smaller. The 30.9 inch tall seat can be moved up as much as 20 mm. Instrumentation features both analog and digital readouts.
Throw a Leg Over: Comfort is King
Unlike all-out sportbikes, the Yamaha FZ6R is designed more for comfort than it is for super high performance. The reach to the handlebars isn’t very far, the saddle is well-padded, and though your knees bend a bit for foot peg placement, there’s nothing extreme about this bike’s ergonomics. In fact, after a day's worth of riding there were no aches or pains to speak of-- save a few shivers from the cold ambient temperature.

The FZ6R's instrumentation resembles the (like the Suzuki GSX650’s dash), but unfortunately the Yamaha lacks a digital gear indicator.
The Ride - Smooth Sailin'
Twist the FZ6R’s throttle while the bike’s in neutral, and the engine’s relatively inoffensive exhaust note reveals a subtle top note of raspiness— nothing nearly as extreme as the R6’s titanium muffler, but that’s perfectly appropriate to this bike’s primary target audience: beginner and intermediate riders.

The clutch engages and releases with light lever effort, and the six-speed gearbox’s shift action feels precise. Acceleration is smooth and linear, with a powerband that feels flat and predictable. There’s a touch of vibration at around 6,000 rpm, but that doesn’t get in the way of leisurely riding all the way up to the nearly 12,000 rpm redline. Rolling on the throttle at around 1/3 of maximum revs reveals a bit of jerky acceleration, but again that quality is not significant enough to deter potential buyers. While cruising at 60 mph the engine rpms measured about 5,000 rpm-- a bit high for long distance rides.

Since it’s aimed at newer riders, the FZ6R’s front brakes aren’t too grabby (which can make it easier to lock the front wheel), but a little more initial bite would have been welcome.

Acceleration gets strong when you rev high enough, and though the engine is tuned for improved low and midrange torque, its 600 cc displacement prevents it from pulling too strongly. Handling is relatively nimble and stability is excellent, though more aggressive riders will want to dial in preload in the rear for crisper response. Unfortunately, the front shocks are not adjustable.
The Bottom Line
The 150 miles I spent on the Yamaha FZ6R passed quickly, and the bike handled very technical mountain roads well; it was flickable and powerful enough for spirited riding, but its somewhat upright seating position and smooth suspension added a level of comfort you just can't find in most sportbikes.

It may not have the edge of Yamaha's ubiquitous R6, but that's exactly the point of the FZ6R: it's a kinder, gentler take on the sportbike for those who want sporty looks without the wrist strain or the extreme performance. Given those parameters, the FZ6R is a satisfying ride for beginners and more experienced riders alike.

Yamaha FZ6R

The Yamaha FZ6R - First Impressions When picking up a motorcycle made by the Yamaha Motor Corp. you can always be sure of one thing -- you will not be forced to cruise the streets on an ugly duckling for the next two weeks.

The styling will always be appealing and you will not be left saying . . "Oh I can't believe they sent me off with a bike in this color!".

Once again, Yamaha did not disappoint and the Team Yamaha Blue/White FZ6R I was taking command of had sharp lines and aggressive curves to match the racy paint work -- a quite stylish package for a bike at this price point.

But would the all-new FZ6R with it full fairing be all show and no go? Well not exactly -- but I did feel the styling somewhat outweighed the performance in the engine department at least.

The FZ6R motor gets its DNA from an earlier generation R6. It shares bore and stroke dimensions and compression ratio with the standard FZ6 but the cylinder head, crankcase, intake and exhaust system, clutch and shifter have been completely redesigned.

Lightweight forged aluminum pistons are used in the FZ6R, creating a very smooth motor. And a 32-bit ECU controls the four-hole, two-direction, high-dynamic-range type fuel injectors.

The fuel injected, 600cc liquid-cooled 4-stroke engine engine seems to have quite a mild state of tune. The fuel injection is crisp and the FZ6R picks up the revs cleanly and quickly from the bottom, but there is a noticeable lack of kick from the Yamaha power plant.

It will make a fine motor for commuting and zinging through town but it is not the most inspiring 600cc motor on the market, even when compared to its bargain priced competition. However, I had been riding a nearly 200HP V-Max for the previous two weeks, I might need to cut the FZ6R motor some slack.

What the FZ6R motor lacks in beastly character it more than makes up for in the handling department.

The Yamaha frame is made from high-tensile steel-tube and uses the engine as a stressed member for increased rigidity. The forks are non-adjustable 41mm Soqi units and the rear features a Soqi monoshock unit with preload adjustment.

While these previous specs might not make your hair stand up, the simple combination of parts actually works well. The Yamaha feels thin, has a low seat height and its 470 pound wet weight is extremely nimble.

While having sharp steering and easy-to-maneuver in town around tight corners, the FZ6R was also at home holding its line in faster sweepers and had no problem while adjusting that line at speed. There was a slightly springy feel in town but as speeds increased the suspension seemed to be well suited and overall I felt very confident in the way the FZ6R handled.

Honda CBR1000RR - 2011










Motorcyce-usa.com reported that, The 2011 CBR1000RR will carry over Honda’s proprietary electronic enhancements, like optional combined ABS and standard electronic steering damper. The ’11 model will be available in red/black and all-black colorways, with a Repsol Edition livery available. Price is not yet available, with last year’s version retailing for $13,399. The 2011 models will be available starting in December. Well as a loyal CBR buyer since 1994, it's no surprise that the only updates for the 2011 CBRs would be the colors! The CBRs are still holding their own on the track/street so I'm quite sure that Honda is focused on the 2012 all-new from ground-up CBR designs. I have 2 '05 CBR1000rr-Repsols (1 stock, 1 modified) and a white '09 CBR1000rr. I hope Honda doesn't ruin the foundation of the '08-'11 models. Honda may be testing parts for the 2012 Blade on J.Rea's WSB machine for the season. The upgrades to Dani's MotoGP bike may be incorporated in the the next generation of CBRs. The current Blade just needs more Top-end horsepower/speed to become the new King of the Open Class

Honda ATV TRX250X - 2011






Riding an ATV can be fun. If you’re on the right ATV. And one ride on a Honda ATV TRX250X will tell you this ATV is your ticket to a great day’s riding.

It all starts with an engine that’s perfect for recreational ATV use: Honda’s exclusive longitudinally mounted four-stroke single. It’s built to provide plenty of torque and excellent response. In addition, Honda’s exclusive, innovative SportClutch™ minimizes the potential of stalling, yet still lets you shift for yourself. The TRX250X’s clean, reliable shaft drive is designed for years of low-maintenance, high-octane fun. And this year the TRX250X gets some cool new graphics, so it just plain looks fun, too. Best of all, since it’s a Honda, you know it’s built to last, and that you’ll be spending more time enjoying the trails than worrying about repairs.

This full size sport ATV is also full of great features including Honda's innovative SportClutch™ that enables the rider to experience manual clutch actuation with the advantage of no stalling. It's no wonder that the sporty and fun-to-ride TRX250EX continues to stand out as a favorite among beginners as well as longtime riders, year after year.

Important Safety Information
Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner's manual thoroughly.

New Black color joins Red.

Unique Engine Layout.
When your engine is longitudinally mounted (front to back), the driveshaft goes in a straight line back to the rear wheels. That means no twists or detours, and a more efficient power delivery.

Rugged, reliable 229cc OHV engine - Lightweight OHV air-cooled 229cc engine is longitudinally mounted, allowing direct driveshaft alignment to rear wheels for more efficient power transfer. Two-valve cylinder-head design features performance-optimized valve timing, a 31.5mm-diameter intake valve and a 27mm-diameter exhaust valve to produce a broad, usable powerband.

xclusive Honda SportClutch™ - Handlebar-mounted Honda SportClutch enables the rider to experience manual clutch actuation with the advantage of no stalling when coming to a stop. Revolutionary feature allows beginning or novice riders to learn clutch engagement points, while experienced riders enjoy the full performance of a conventional manual clutch.

Shaft Final Drive - Honda's fully sealed front and rear driveshafts are super-strong and virtually maintenance free.The driveshafts sit inline with the engine's crankshaft, just like your full-sized pickup truck's.

Electric Starter - Effortless electric starter makes getting the engine started easy. Even when the engine is cold or at high altitude, all you need to do is push a button.

Reverse - asy-to-use reverse makes unloading the TRX250X a lot less hassle. Reverse can also help get you out of tight spots that you may encounter when you're out riding.

No Stalling, No Worries.
The Honda SportClutch™ is the best of both worlds. It gives experienced riders the control of a manual clutch, while others won’t have any anxiety about stalling.

Gimmie an “R.”
Since the TRX250X has a handy Reverse gear, unloading or getting out of a tight spot is a snap.

Yamaha FZ8 - 2011










The fuel-injected, 779cc, alloy perimeter-framed four-cylinder has been on sale in Europe since last year, and it’s being touted as a compromise between the less-powerful 600cc middleweights and the bigger literbikes like Yamaha’s R1-based FZ1 and Kawasaki’s Z1000.

The FZ8 actually has much in common with the FZ1. Its engine – six-point mounted as a stressed, chassis-reinforcing member – shares the same 53.6mm stroke, but its bore size is 9mm smaller, at 68mm, instead of 77mm as found on the FZ1.

The FZ8’s 464-lb curb weight comes in at mere 23 lbs under its 487-lb liter-sized big brother. Part of the weight savings is nothing more than a slight loss of fuel capacity, as its 4.5 gallon fuel capacity is about one quart less than the FZ1’s.

The FZ8’s twin front disc brake specs are nearly identical, at 310mm front compared to the 320mm discs for the FZ1. A single 267mm disc in back contrasts with a 245mm rear disc on the FZ1. Both are pinched by similar four-piston front, and single-piston rear calipers.

Both ride on a similar 43mm inverted fork and a link-type Monocross rear shock, sharing a 57.5-inch wheelbase. The FZ8’s suspension is adjustable only for rear preload.

The FZ8 is not merely a gelded and cheaper FZ1. It utilizes a new crankshaft and new four-valve-per cylinder head instead of the five-valve-per-cylinder head of the FZ1 – which is itself an adaptation from the first-generation R1.

The new head breathes through 26mm intake valves and 22mm exhaust valves, a 12:1 compression ratio instead of the FZ1’s 11.5:1, and cam profiles tuned toward a fatter midrange. Yamaha boasts also that the intake funnels for cylinders two and three are 25mm longer than those of the two outside cylinders to help achieve a broad torque curve. In all, the package promises to be at least quasi-unique, and certainly street worthy.

Unfortunately, ABS will not be available in the U.S., as it is on this model in Europe, nor will its twin model – the Fazer 8 – which is being imported to Canada.

The FZ8’s moderately upright riding position and minimalistic bikini fairing ought to coordinate well with a sportbike-inspired 51% front and 49% rear weight bias. Its wheel sizes mimics what’s normally found on a 600cc supersport, with a 120/70-ZR17 radial up front and 180/55-ZR17 rear.

With a purported 105 hp and 61 ft-lb, the FZ8 is poised to fill the shoes of what used to be industry standard in the 750cc class.

With the power, running gear and chassis of a true sportbike combined with a comfortable riding position, the FZ8 ought to make a very sensible but powerful bike for riders who realize a 140-155 hp ballistic literbike may not always be necessary.

Further, the FZ8 at this juncture may have little apples-to-apples competition.
On the smaller side of things, there is the aforementioned ER-6n, Yamaha’s faired FZ-6R and Suzuki’s GSF650, but these are only marginally in the same category. Also, in a way, the Triumph Street Triple could be considered similar.

The FZ8 ought to have significantly more grunt than these lighter bikes, without being insanely fast to the point of testing fate.

As for bikes to compare it to on the larger side are machines like the Triumph’s Speed Triple, Kawasaki’s Z1000 and Ducati’s Twin-cylinder Monster 796. But all of these are quite a bit more pricey.

So, the FZ8 is actually in a fairly unique position in the marketplace, and is a new option for American riders.
At a list price of $8,490, the 2011 FZ8 undercuts the FZ1 by a fair margin. The 2010 FZ1 carried an MSRP of $10,290, and we expect that to increase for 2011. In simplistic terms, the FZ8 provides an unfaired and 200cc smaller FZ1 at a savings of around $2,000 or so.
Expect FZ8s to show up in dealerships as soon as December.

honda cbr250r reviews

honda cbr250r reviews,
engine: The CBR isn’t fast-fast. With 26bhp at the crank it was never going to be furious. Clutch, gearbox and fuelling are of the usual Honda quality, proving cheap doesn’t always mean cheap and nasty. Honda has made big claims about the 250’s fuel consumption, quoting 75mpg from rolling road tests. Doubtful this figure can be replicated on the open road, but if it does 60mpg we won’t complain.

Ride and Handling: Where Honda’s cbr 250r excels is it big-bike looks and pleasing ride quality. Providing you haven’t got giraffe-like legs it has a roomy seating position. Comfort is guaranteed and, all-in, gives the comforting sensations of sitting astride a high-barred 600 rather than a pumped up 125.

Equipment: For £3688 Honda has delivered a bike that is extremely basic but extremely functional. Everything that’s needed to make a modern motorcycle is attached ie catalyser, steering lock, digital dash etc. There is an ABS version but as yet no date has been set for UK shipping if indeed it happens.

Quality and Reliability: Honda has earned a reputation for making solid, reliable products. There’s no reason to think the CBR250R will be any different to the other models in its range even though it is built in Thailand – Honda quality is the same all over the world.

Value: To design a complete new bike, from frame to engine to the info dash, costs money. So how Honda is making money out of the keenly priced CBR is a mystery to us – Kawasaki’s Ninja 250R costs £861 more at £4549 and even Hyosung’s capable GT250R is £3799. Ok, so production costs are lower in Thailand, but a sports-styled Honda for only £3688? Blimey.

2012 bmw motorcycles

Research Results Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) based in Virginia, United said that the motor with ABS (Antilock Brake System) has kecelekaan level 37% lower when compared with non-ABS motorcycle with the same type.

This fact encouraged to apply the BMW Motorrad ABS as a standard safety device in each of their products in 2012.

"It's time for motor manufacturers achieve the benefits of using ABS. Various tests and tests have proven that ABS can reduce accidents and save lives, "said Pieter de Waal, vice president of BMW Motorrad USA.

BMW Motorrad is the first motorcycle manufacturer to apply the ABS in its motor products since 1988. 22 years later, the technology of BMW's ABS has grown to the sixth generation.

This latest generation has an option to disable the ABS that can be used in certain conditions, such as racing for example.

Besides ABS, BMW has several times previously pioneered the use of technology that is useful to improve safety. As the use of Dynamic Traction Control, Electronic Suspension Adjustment to Adaptive Headlight, which until now only in the BMW K 1600 GT series.

Yamaha R1 2010

Yamaha R1 2010, The inclusion of D-MODE variable throttle control function enables the rider to adjust performance characteristics to match a variety of riding conditions. In addition to standard mode mapped for optimum performance, the rider can select from A mode for sportier response in low to mid-speed range, and B mode for somewhat less sharp response for riding situations that require especially sensitive throttle operation. These 3 different maps at the push of a button allow the rider to choose the optimum power character for their riding situation.

This revolutionary new engine is housed in an equally advanced chassis. Control filled die-cast frame rails balance high vertical rigidity with relatively low lateral rigidity for increased high speed stability while improving handling, especially while leaned over during corner exit. A control filled die-cast magnesium sub frame cuts weight far from the center of balance and contributes to concentration of mass.

Visually the new Yamaha R1 breaks new ground leading with twin projector beam headlights concentrated near newly placed forced air intake ducts. The sculpted body work features inner and outer shells controlling airflow around the bike at high speeds and forcing more cool air to the radiator and engine bay while eliminating the need for hot-air vents usually located at the sides of the radiator.

More than the just the next-generation of supersport; the YZF-R1 represents a major breakthrough in supersport technology and performance.

The 2010 R1 will be available in dealerships nationwide beginning in September 2009 with a starting MSRP of $13,290 and available in Raven, Pearl White and Team Yamaha Blue/White.

The R1 LE will be available in January 2010 with a starting MSRP of $14,500 and available in Fiat Yamaha Team graphics.

Yamaha R1 top speed

Yamaha R1

The 2011 Yamaha R1 represents a paradigm shift in technology, performance and controllability among litre class sport bikes. Inspired by Yamaha's M1 MotoGP race bike, this latest generation R1 features a crossplane crankshaft design with an uneven firing order to provide outstanding yet easy to control torque and an exceptionally linear throttle feel never experience before. But there is far more to the 2011 Yamaha R1 than just a revolutionary engine.

The 2011 R1 … Yamaha's technical "Tour de Force."

The Yamaha R1 has been designed to be the "Ultimate Cornering Master" of the open super sport class and one of the keys to incredible handling lies partly in the chassis but equally as important, in its ability to put useable power to the ground. This revolutionary cross-plane crank R1 delivers as much power as the rider wants, exactly when the rider wants it … by a simple twist of the right wrist; leaving the rider feeling like they are directly connected to the rear wheel of the revolutionary R1.

The Bark is bad. The bite is badder.

Forget everything you ever knew about the supersport litre class. The all new 2011 Yamaha YZF-R1 is unlike anything before. That's because it's the world's first production motorcycle with a crossplane crankshaft. The result? Incredibly smooth power delivery and outrageous torque for a rush like you've never experienced.

Custom Motorcycle by Jean Baptiste Robilliard


If you are planning on being an urban crime fighter but still can’t justify the gas guzzling tendencies of most superhero vehicles, well your ride has (conceptually) arrived.

Designer Jean Baptiste Robilliard has rendered up this “CUSTOM BIKE CONCEPT” that would make Bruce Wayne’s attorneys take notice. Jean Baptiste describes it as a “two wheel muscle car”, hiding it’s electrical drivetrain and batteries in the frame. Featuring a FORMULA 1 inspired KINETIC ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM (KERS), that essentially coverts your braking into energy.

Originally conceived as a single global design, this customizable creation could be the shape of things to come.

Letting the high-performance engine live to its full potential is a lightweight and compact design.

2000 Kawasaki ninja 500r Reviews

2000 Kawasaki ninja 500r Reviews, If you want a motorcycle that has proven itself time and time again, look no further than the Kawasaki Ninja 500R. The 500R is the older brother to the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, and boasts a beefier engine coming in at nearly 500cc's. The ninja 500R is equipped with a 498cc Liquid Cooled, In line 4 stroke twin engine that can hit a top speed of around 120mph, and runs the quarter mile in 12.98 seconds. The Bike weighs in at a trim 388 pounds dry, and 437 when fully fueled which helps if you are ever doing slow speed maneuvers and you need to stop the bike from tipping over

Given that it was Kawasaki's best-selling sporty bike for a number of years, the EX500 is a popular mount for road racing, offering low price and availability of spare parts. It also offers a wide but forgiving performance envelope suitable for new riders or even veteran club racers, eschewing the significantly higher expense of campaigning 600 cc or larger supersport machines.

In the spring of 1988 I picked up my brand new Kawasaki EX-500. It was my first new bike and just the second bike I'd ever owned. Up to that point I'm pretty sure I fit right into Kawasaki's marketing plans. Here's a little perspective: In 1987, when the EX debuted, the hot Yamaha middleweight was the air cooled FZ-600. The Kawasaki 600R Ninja was in it's second incarnation in '87, the first Ninja 6R wasn't even a twinkle in an engineers mind. Compare that to the Kawasaki Ninja 500r, still powered by a dissected Ninja 1000R motor (circa 1985), still using tires that were skinny even in the old days, and still using suspension components that were bargain basement when it was new. The bike does have its plusses. In 140,000 miles I have not had an internal engine part fail-not one. Combine the quick steering with the skinny tires and the Ninja will show its cornering limits quickly. Suspension? Back in 1987 Kawasaki broke the code. If you used half of your top liter class sportbike engine as the foundation for an entry-level machine, you could have a bike that was more than the sum of it's parts.
