New 2010 Honda CRF250R

The 2010 CRF250R is loaded with progressive technology and ready to confirm its domination of Supercross and Motocross tracks yet again. Its lightning-quick prowess and radical looks are matched with a new fuel injection system, even more power, lighter weight and smooth, easy handling characteristics. Whether you’re out to thrash the competition or just enjoy getting the best out of yourself and your motorcycle, the CRF250R is the tool to showcase your expertise.

New engine and transmission developments have focused firmly on boosting power and durability while keeping weight to a minimum. Starting, acceleration, cornering, traction and torque feel have all improved. The front fork has been revised to feature a larger-diameter 48mm slide pipe that improves running performance on rough roads. The rear suspension has had its weight reduced and layout changed for better mass centralisation, contributing to greatly improved dynamics. These changes, in combination with the proven Honda Progressive Steering Damper, deliver unbeatable handling through corners, whoops, braking bumps and jumps.

Honda 2010 CRF450R

The CRF450R is a dominating presence in Supercross, motocross, desert, endurance, flat-track and Supermoto where it continues to bring even the toughest competition to its knees. Relentlessly striving for more speed, more control, more reliability, more power and more performance, it combines these with light weight and effortless manoeuvrability.

The best balance of front and rear tyres enables great acceleration performance. Its slim and light proportions feature finely-honed aerodynamics for bullet-like aerial projection, and a low centre of gravity for easy control in the air. Inertia feel is minimised for a sensation of expert handling. Torque feeling is maximised everywhere and overall performance is fast, slick and exhilarating.

For 2010, to keep its riders out in front, small but effective changes to the engine and suspension systems achieve even better balance and control. The CRF flag is still flying high where it belongs – at the pinnacle of motocross achievement!

The New 2010 Honda VT1300CX

The Honda VT1300CX is a true original in the chopper motorbike genre – a radical concept offered in a unique package that’s accessible to nearly every rider. The VT1300CX is visually daring and great fun to ride, with a feel and sound that place the rider squarely in the chopper domain.

For cruisers and choppers, style is king. The focus of the VT1300CX is its raked-out chopper styling, incorporating a visual balance of positive and negative space between the airy front end and the more substantial engine and rear end. Its high-mount steering head gives the frame a see-through, open-air look with plenty of breathing room between the upper frame and the front cylinder head. Its long, slim fuel tank is perched up high, while its seat is ultra-low. The fat 200mm rear tyre is paired with a slim 90mm front wheel that’s wrapped in an attractively close-fitting fender. A striking visual impact is created by the multi-faceted nine-spoke front and seven-spoke rear wheel design.

The condensed, hard-tail look of the rear end is accentuated by the exaggerated rake and stretched wheelbase which stretches a full 1,805mm between axles, giving a soft ride as well as a characteristic look. Clean lines and curves in every part of the bike emphasise a Spartan return to basics. Equally important, a close-up inspection of the VT1300CX reveals an attention to detail which has been carried to the extreme. The prominent chrome headlight accentuates the frame and fork angles. Even the LED tail-light complements the shape of the rear fender, which also lacks visible fender stays – all for the purpose of giving the rear a simple and elegant shape. Smooth, clean lines also define the swingarm and the driveshaft on the left side.

Clean-cut execution and careful crafting create a chopper with the distinct air of a full-on hand-built custom bike, but one that can be owned and maintained for a fraction of the cost.

The engine is the soul of the VT1300CX. Fire it up and waves of muscular V-twin power, sound and feel flood the senses. Based on Honda’s proven and muscular VTX1300 motor, it is a 1312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin with a single-pin crankshaft, dual balancers and a new Programmed Fuel Injection system. The engine is cooled by a compact radiator that’s neatly concealed between the frame’s downtubes. Maintaining the neat, uncluttered look, the top radiator hose is hidden away beneath the front head cover. A newly designed dual exhaust system and new camshafts add to the creation of an engine that produces hugely satisfying performance and awesome sound. Low fuel consumption (the VT1300CX delivers an impressive 20km per litre*) and a clean, reliable, maintenance-free shaft drive mean more time spent on the road and less in the garage. It’s all about the ride.

Suzuki Racing Update

Two-time AMA Supercross Champion Chad Reed of Australia, will be returning to Rockstar Makita Suzuki Factory Racing after sitting out for the last two motocross seaons.

The racing team announced that Reed will compete in the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship and will ride his Rockstar Makita Suzuki RM-Z450 in the motocross class in the 12-race series. Reed will be back in the saddle before he knows it as the series revs up on Sat. May 23 at Glen Helen Raceway in San Bernardino, California.

Reed is excited about his return to racing this season and said: “I’m really looking forward to racing the Outdoors this year and I’m excited about it for several reasons. The last few years, I didn’t race Motocross because I really felt like I needed to take a break after the supercross season. But this year, I feel so comfortable with the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team and everybody has been so supportive that it just makes me want to get out there and race. Also, I’ve been impressed with the changes to the series that MX Sports has done and I think they’re taking it in the right direction. So I really want to be a part of that and support the series and the sport. My team and my sponsors have stepped up to make this happen and I can’t thank them enough.”

During the 2009 AMA Supercross Series, Reed led the points race for most of the year and placed second overall. He raced his Suzuki RM-Z450 to three wins and finished on the podium in 16 of his 17 races. Reed will bring a lot of experience to the team as he is a former two-time AMA Supercross Champion, THQ World Supercross Champion, AMA Supercross Lites Champion and a World Motocross Grand Prix winner.
