Suzuki Skydrave

suzuki Skydrive adalah gacoan baru kelas automaticnya/maticnya Suzuki. Sedari dulu sejak Suzuki mulai memperkanalkan type  automatic, saya belum ada yang cocok, baik secara desain ataupun tongkrongan. Sampai akhirnya tadi pagi ada saudara saya Muhammad Bardi, yang menawarkan type terbaru hasil Regenarsi atau bahasa kerennya faceliftnya Spin. Suzuki Skydrive adalah automatic motorcycle yang bermesin 125cc.
Suzuki Skydrive 125cc ini adalah termasuk kelas automatic yang saya sebut maticnya terbaru Suzuki. Waktu Suzuki mencoba masuk kelas matic, tidak ada satupun produk yang menarik hati saya. Bagi saya desainnya masih sangat kaku dan kurang cocok untuk diri saya :D Tapi dengan berat hati setelah Suzuki Skydrive 125 ini muncul perasaan kuno langsung hilang. Betapa tidak, sedari dulu matic idaman saya Mio Soul yang lebih gagah dibanding Mio standar akhirnya terpatahkan oleh sang Skydrive ini.
Untuk kelas matic, Roda dari Skydrive ini termasuk yang terbesar, seperti yang kita tau, rata rata roda matic hanya 275 tapi Suzuki Skydrive bermain dengan 300. Untuk warna? warna bisa dibilang antik dan unique, mulai dari merah, biru, perak dan emas dan tentu saja hitam. Seperti Suzuki Masa lalu saya yang heboh dengan Adira Financenya yang berwarna biru, Skydrive saya inpun kembali saya ambil corak biru dengan lebih nuansa metalicnya ;)

Gimana dengan tongkrongan?

Mantap dan tak terkira, kalau perlu bukti? silahkan coba tengok dari beberapa tangkapan lensa saya ini.
suzuki-skydrive

Konsumsi Bahan Bakar?

Berdasar informasi, konsumsi bahan bakar Skydrive 125 termasuk irit, dengan 1liter bensin, kita bisa tempuh 45km atau bisa sampai 50km dengan mode ngirit atau setidaknya bisa sampai 40km. Lumayan ngirit untuk kelas matic bukan?

Dari sisi kesisi

Sisi depan, sisi belakang untuk saat ini masih tanpa cela secara saya. Coba aja tengok kembali
suzuki-skydrive-3
suzuki-skydrive-2
Jadi apa Suzuki Skydrive 125 ini saya rekomendasikan untuk anda semua? Hanya satu jawaban saya… JANGAN BELI produk ini… kalau anda ingin MENYESAL… menyesal yang teramat sangat… kenapa tidak beli Suzuki Skydrive 125 sedari dulu…. ;)

Ride from "Bikers Point" on the Grossglockner

Just though I'd let you know we've recently added the video below of our ride down on a BMW R1200 GS from "Bikers Point" on the Grossglockner in Austria to the inter-bike Channel on YouTube. The ride down was in near zero visibility cloud cover on a cobble pavement road with 7 hairpins!

   SCEM ( SUZUKI COMPOSITE ELECTROCHEMICAL MATERIAL )

Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM ) merupakan teknologi Suzuki yang telah terbukti. Dibandingkan metode konvensional yang mengunakan liner besi tuang untuk melindungi dari gesekan dan panas, pada selinder almunium FU 150 SC menggunakan teknologi SCEM yang merupakan sebuah plat dengan ketebalan beberapa micron. Berkurangnya liner besi tuang membuat mesin menjadi lebih ringan dan ringkas dan almunium mempunyai konduktivitas panas yang tinggi dibandingkan dengan besi. SCEM membuat mesin melepas panas secara efisien untuk membantu menjaga suhu kerja optimum.

Buell closes!!



Shock news, yesterday Harley-davidson Inc announced it will be discontinuing the Buell product line and will concentrate its efforts on the Harley-Davidson brand.

Apparently a limited number of new Buell motorcycles remain available for sale through authorized dealerships and production will wind down by October 30. Harley-Davidson will provide replacement parts and service through dealerships and that warranty coverage will continue as normal for Buell motorcycles.

So a sad day for all those at Buell and us in the motorcycle community at large with the loss of such an iconic motorcycle brand.

Buell will surely be missed by the many of us who of have ridden Erik Buell's amazing machines.

You an watch Erik Buell's personal video message on the closure, by clicking on the YouTube Video above.

Ride safe.

MV Agusta F4CC - only one for the UK!





MV Agusta have released details the exclusive MV Agusta F4CC motorcycle masterpiece. Only 100 will be made and just only 1 will be for sale in the UK!

MV Agusta claim the F4CC is the ultimate hyper-performance superbike, with a top speed of 195mph. It has been carefully designed then hand-built using special and exotic materials.

The fairing is 100% carbon-fibre, the tailor-made filler cap comes from the aero industry. The instrument panel has customised graphics and the all-black seat is made from the exclusive Alcantara® material.

This F4CC comes with a limited edition Swiss made chronograph by Girard Perregaux (only 100 produced) together with an exclusive limited edition leather jacket by top Italian designer Trussardi. The bike is supplied with a boxed certificate of origin and the UK machine will bear the unique serial number of 10 out of 100 and is confirmed by a platinum plaque on the steering head.

The F4 frame is made from chrome molybdenum, the swing arm and frame plates are superlight magnesium. The pistons have been lightened and con-rod geometry changed. The intake and exhaust valves are still radial (a unique MV Agusta feature) but are now titanium and the intake valves are now 2mm bigger.

The new valve gear and valve seats are made by Del West, the American market leader in this sector and despite the incredibly high price of these components, they are perfect for a machine as exclusive as the F4CC.

All the protective meshes at the intake ducts and outlets at the tail are made from titanium as is the lower radiator and the four racing exhausts.

90% of the components are hand-made specifically for the F4CC, this includes the fork ends, the footpegs (shim adjustable and “filed down” to reduce weight), the upper fork yoke and gear change and brake levers, all resulting in a weight of 187 kilos.



The engine features apatented Torque Shift System, designed to increase torque in the low to midrange, while still allowing for maximum horsepower at the top of the rev range.

Fiited with 50mm forks, are Marzocchi. The forks are carbon nitride treated to decrease friction. The racing mono-shock unit can be adjusted for rebound at both high and low speeds and is aslo fitted with official Brembo Racing monoblock brakes.


The MV Agusta F4CC will soon be on display in the capital at London Superbikes, Park Lane, Mayfair.

Oh I almost forgot, the price tag £50,000!

Ride safe.
