Pulsar 150
The Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi from Pulsar family of motorcycles from Bajaj Auto was produced between 2007 and 2009 when it was replaced by the Pulsar 220 DTS-i. Features differentiating this bike from other members of the DTS-i family include oil cooled, fuel injected engine, front and rear disc braking, tubeless tyres, a digital speedometer console (recently introduced in all other Pulsar editions) and parabolic/ellipsoidal projector headlamps.
Bajaj displayed the 220 DTS-Fi at the Delhi Auto Expo 2006. The Indian nationwide launch happened in July 2007.
A new Pulsar model, the 220 DTS-i which has a constant-velocity carburetor instead of fuel injection, is the successor to the fuel injected 220 DTS-Fi.[2] DTS-Fi production and distribution was halted in 2009.The Bajaj has claimed its Pulsar 220 as the Fastest Indian. By turning back to carburetor Engine from Fuel injection, the new 220 has improved on power from 20BHP to 21BHP.

Y2K Turbine Superbike

Y2K Turbine Superbike
Y2K Turbine Superbike
MTT Turbine Superbike,often styled SUPERBIKE, also known as Y2K Turbine SUPERBIKE, is the world's second wheel-driven motorcycle powered by a turbine engine, created by Ted McIntyre of Marine Turbine Technologies Inc.
Reports of the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE appeared as early as 1999 in a May issue of Cafe Racer magazine, but the production model was introduced in 2000.Powered by a Rolls-Royce-Allison Model 250 turboshaft engine, producing 238 kW (320 hp), the motorcycle has a recorded top speed of 227 mph (370 km/h), with a price tag of US$150,000 (US$185,000 in 2004).[citation needed] It is recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Most powerful production motorcycle" and the "Most expensive production motorcycle." Unlike some earlier jet-powered motorcycles, where a massive jet engine provided thrust to push the motorcycle, the turboshaft engine on this model drives the rear wheel via a two-speed gearbox. Riding the motorcycle is said to be somewhat tricky due to the inherent throttle lag in the engine, acceleration when letting off the throttle, and extreme length.
The engines used in the motorcycles are second-hand, having reached the FAA running time limit, after which they have to be rebuilt, regardless of condition. MTT can buy these engines for a much lower price than new engines and use them on surface vehicles without requiring FAA approval. To get around the problem of procuring the kerosene usually used in turbine engines, the engine of the bike is also able to use Diesel fuel, or even Jet A fuel.In addition to the engine, there are other innovations incorporated into this bike, such as radar detector with laser scrambler, rear-mounted camera with LCD display, and an optional passenger seat.Unlike other contemporary motorcycles (such as the Hayabusa), the 2001 and later models of the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE do not have the 300 km/h speed limiting governors self-imposed by Japanese manufacturers.
In 2008, MTT released the "Streetfighter," another jet-bike with a more powerful 420-horsepower (310 kW) engine.
After developing the first turbine-powered outboard sanctioned by the US military and the RetroROCKET™, MTT produced not only the first turbine-powered street legal motorcycle, but also the most powerful production bike in the world: the MTT Turbine SUPERBIKE™.Powered by a Rolls Royce-Allison gas turbine engine, the Turbine SUPERBIKE™ has demonstrated over 320-hp and 425-ft/lbs of torque on the Dyne Jet 200 and has been clocked at a record breaking 227-mph.MTT's latest model, the MTT Turbine STREETFIGHTER™, has all the standard features of the Turbine SUPERBIKE™ yet with a larger swingarm, Pirelli® Diablo 240 rear tire, increased fuel capacity, and enhanced cooling system. The Turbine STREETFIGHTER™ comes equipped with a 320-hp Rolls Royce-Allison turbine with the option to upgrade to a 420-hp turbine with approximately 500-ft/lbs of torque.

Kawasaki Ninja 650R

Kawasaki Ninja 650R
he faired Kawasaki Ninja 650R, also known as the ER-6f, and its un-faired sister model ER-6n were introduced in 2006. They are middleweight, parallel twin engined motorcycles, designed for normal use on paved roads. They have modern styling and features, with low-seating ergonomics, a low center of gravity, and respectable, manageable power output. The design was intended to appeal to a wide-ranging audience from newcomers to seasoned riders.
The 650R/faired ER-6, known as the ER-6f overseas, was introduced to the market in 2006 by Kawasaki Motorcycles. The unfaired ER-6n was not sold in North America until the 2009 model year. The motorcycle fits above the Ninja 250R & Ninja 500R models which already existed in Kawasaki's sportbike lineup, which includes the famous Ninja ZX models. For 2009, Kawasaki released an updated Ninja 650R which includes new bodywork, mirrors, gauges, lighting, and a new tune on the same 649 cc engine. The curb weight is reported as 440.9 lb (200.0 kg) instead of the previous dry weight of 393 lb (178 kg).
In Europe the Ninja 650R is sold as the ER-6f ("f" denoting faired) version of the ER-6, the "naked" roadster version is sold as the ER-6n. In 2009, Kawasaki introduced the ER-6n in the USA. The ER-6f differs slightly from the Ninja 650R as it features the passenger handlebars as standard (as does the ER-6n). In addition, the option of ABS brakes were made available for both the ER-6n and ER-6f. There is also a derivative of the ER-6 called the Versys which utilizes many of the same component parts as the Ninja 650R. In many European countries the 6n naked version has proven considerably more popular than the ER-6f; however in other countries, such as Australia, the faired Ninja 650R has proven to be more popular than the un-faired ER-6n, becoming the most popular 'sports-tourer' in the Kawasaki lineup.

Triumph Street Triple R

Triumph Street Triple R
Triumph Street Triple R
It may sound hard to believe, but the Street Triples are actually 2009 spec bikes. Furthermore, the simple 2010 model year doesn’t even get a whole new color range, so the real question here is: in which chapter did the 2009 model years lack and, implicit, what did Triumph needed to improve on the 2010 models? The answer is that virtually nothing as the bikes are being powered by Daytona’s 675cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline three-cylinder engine from which British engineers ensure, with a multipoint sequential electronic fuel injection, they get 105bhp at 11,700 rpm and 50ft.lbf at 9,200 rpm out of.A proven performer on the chassis it first rolled off the production line with, the engine is being mounted on the same agile and confidence-inspiring unit. So if it is to look at the big picture here, the Street Triple gets the best from the Daytona (engine, tranny, chassis) and the best from the Speed Triple (that incomparable British naked look).With the introduction of the Triumph Street Triple R, the brits have shown they’ve truly got the hang of the middleweight streetfighter class and they did it in their own unique style. This involves a 675cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline three-cylinder engine borrowed from the Daytona and fitted on an extremely versatile chassis as well as loads of style, all saying the “I’m different!” words.
While technically, the Triumph Street Triple R carries over unchanged, visually we would have to admit that it now looks like an even better polished jewel thanks to the black paint with gold wheels and decals 2010 paint scheme, while matte orange and matte grey are also available.Weighing in at 416 lbs/189 kg wet and disposing of the same engine performance, the Street Triple R got the suspension setup of its supersport sibling ever since last year and this is now a characteristic of the simple Street Triple as well.Offering a comfortable riding position, sporty and yet user-friendly engine and entirely different looks, we won’t dare considering this a stripped-down Triumph Daytona 675, but a stylish naked backed up by serious engine performance. Try not to love it and send us a message if you succeed.As mentioned before, the Street Triple is Triumph’s ingenious way of diversifying their urban sports lineup basing on already selling and consecrated models, the Daytona 675 and the Speed Triple 1050. After much spying/rendering from motorcycle journalists and the unveiling of a first official picture, the bike was officially presented at the Triumph Tridays in Neukirchen, Austria.The engine featured softer internal parts such as the pistons and cams for a broader powerband than Daytona’s and the best of it was the fact that it didn’t look, sound and feel like a middleweight motor, powering the Street Triple on top of riders preferences. Some dealers even reported six months waiting lists for the amazing new model.The 2009 Triumph Street Triple R came in as an extension of that very same model and will surely carry on being produced in parallel until Triumph finds another ingenious way to create a brand new model.
