Yamaha XS650 street tracker

Sometimes it?s the relatively simple custom jobs that are the most effective. And this street tracker from London-based Spirit of The Seventies illustrates the point. Spirit III is based on a 1978 Yamaha XS650, and once again, SOTS have got the paintjob exactly right, with a high-impact retro look. But it?s not all about the [...]

Motorcyclist Deaths Drop, Sour Economy Cited

After a decade of steady increases, motorcyclist deaths nose-dived last year, possibly due to bikers watching their budgets in a sour economy.

The study, set for release Thursday, indicates a 16 percent drop in U.S. motorcycle fatalities through the first nine months of 2009 compared to the same period in the previous year. It projects at least a 10 percent decline in fatalities over the entire year, or about 530 fewer deaths.

The 5,290 motorcyclist deaths in 2008 was the highest ever.

There is nothing in the data to indicate the cause of the sudden decline, but it is most likely due in part to a cutback in recreational driving by motorcyclists, Hedlund said in an interview.

20 Things I Learned and Re-Learned while Riding Yesterday...

1) Mt Hood is even more beautiful from on top of a motorcycle

2) A Harley Road King is maneuverable - if you've already had 36k+ miles "practice" on a Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe :)

3) When it's hot out, windshields, black armored jackets and jeans suck

4) It's really easy to hit the rev limiter on a Harley Road King...what is redline on that thing - 5K rpm!? :)

5) Riding soothes my soul, calms my mind and makes me happy

6) A Harley Road King is not a Yamaha FJR 1300 - and that's fine

7) The vibration of a Harley Road King at a stop light makes me painfully aware of where my fat lives.

8) Whacking the throttle open on a Harley Road King *really* gets the attention of the guy in the car next to you

9) Kids and pretty girls still wave at me

10) 2 hours on a bike isn't long enough

11) I got comments, waves and thumbs up from people who would ignore me on the Yamaha

12) The floorboards on a Harley Road King are *really* low

13) I can't quick shift a Harley

14) Even if the Harley's owner says the brakes are grabby, don't believe him - test and verify

15) Harley brakes are *nowhere* near as "grabby" as an FJR 1300 :)

16) Ergonomics are *hugely* important on a motorcycle - for comfort, for safety, for fun

17) People still don't see motorcycles - I was almost hit once and had at least 5 other close calls in only 2 hours of riding :(

18) My riding self preservation skills are still intact

19) A helmet left in a box for a year is a little "aromatic"

20) I really want another motorcycle :(

Kawasakis cometh

Finally. The last of the four big Japanese players has entered India. The Bajaj-Kawasaki relationship has, of late, worked better abroad for both than really in India. And in India, the almost complete disappearance of the Kawasaki and Bajaj's obvious ability to develop bikes has created a strange dynamic that is very much at odds with where the whole thing began in 1984.

Well, finally, they all seem to be heading in the direction they're supposed to. Rajiv Bajaj said at the media event that Bajaj will focus on its products - the Pulsar/Avenger bikes that will sustain the bottom of the ProBiking pyramid - a pragmatic, even shrewd choice. This doesn't mean that the rumoured twin-cylinder Pulsar isn't coming. It just means that Bajaj-Kawasaki-KTM are working towards offering the complete spectrum of motorcycles without stepping on each others toes. This is beneficial to all - initially. Once the big bike market gets going, then internal cannibalisation and so forth can happen. Again, historically, Bajaj is one of the few Indian bike makers who has not been afraid to let its own bikes take sales away from others in its own lineup.

What does this mean for you? The Ninja 250 has established two things - that big bikes will sell and the segment will continue to grow. And secondly, assembly operations can be made to work in India with significant duty savings. India Kawasaki Motors, the new company, will liaise with Bajaj who will assemble a growing number of CKDs at their Chakan facility. Some motorcycles - the 800cc plus ones - will come in as CBUs and directly complete with the likes of the R1 and the Fireblade.

However, the action will be in the sub-800cc segment where, for instance, a mid-displacement naked or cruiser could easily be assembled and be ready to roll out of the showrooms at prices from Rs 5 to 7 lakh - way lower than most other big bikes on the market.

Indian Kawasaki Motors is expected to have its first bike (Ninja 250 aside) in the market by June 2010, and they've said it will be a supersport. Kawasaki's range doesn't have too many of those - there's the ZX-6R, ZX-10R and ZX-14. Since assembly and CKD are the big words at this announcement, I have to assume that it will be the smaller bike. Although given the over 800cc status of both of the others, the 10 and the 14 would simply be easier to launch.

However, there are some other (non-supersport) Kawasakis that are truly of Indian interest. Take the Kawasaki's Versys based series of 650cc twins. Any and all of them would be great on Indian roads. They'd be fast enough, easy enough and desirable enough. Me? I've long held that the R6 would be my perfect Indian ride - very personal decision, that - and if Yamaha were not to be progressive enough, I certainly wouldn't mind riding a ZX-6R. How about you?

Better yet, this will probably end up forcing Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki to consider Indian assembly and homologation, something they've been very standoffish about so far.

Interesting times lie ahead.

Former Ducati North America CEO Michael Lock talks Bikes

Michael Lock is something of a rock star in motorcycle circles.

The former chief executive of Ducati North America grew the small Italian sportbike brand from a niche player in the U.S. market into a powerhouse synonymous with sleek and sporty sex appeal.

Lock recently left to take over marketing duties for Think, a Norwegian EV maker that will soon start selling plug-in electric cars in the U.S., and stopped by The Times to chat about his new venture.

The Times took the opportunity to pick his brain about the U.S. motorcycle market, which continues to experience declining sales.
