Ducati 1299 Price Review& Specs

Image
Biggest news here is that  Ducati  officially cracked the 200-hp mark. But before we get to this most extreme Superquadro engine ever, let’s start from the beginning. When Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali was asked about the internal geometry of the  ducati 1299 price  engine—with specific reference to the rod length of 110.1mm in relation to its 60.8mm stroke—he affirmed that he wanted the Panigale to be as compact and well balanced as possible.  When I heard a larger-displacement Panigale was in the works, with the extra cubes coming from increased stroke (the bore already was a record-setting 112mm), I wondered if Domenicali was ready to compromise with even shorter rods to compensate for the extra stroke. The new ducati 1299 features  sets fresh standards in the superbike fraternity, with a claimed 205 hp at 10,500 rpm and a terrific 106.7 pound-feet of torque at 8,750 rpm. Simply put, there is nothing like that on two wheels, with th...

Ducati Diavel Bike in Pakistan

Image
The story goes that the name for the Ducati Diavel was born early in its development process, when the prototype was assembled and wheeled out in front of a group of Ducati technicians and engineers for the first time.  One person saw the bike’s silhouette and exclaimed in Bolognese dialect: “Ignurant comm’ al diavel!” (Meaning: “Evil, like the Devil”). The name stuck and the concept of building a muscular silhouette over a pure-bred competition motor became a production reality when the Diavel was first unveiled in 2010. Less than five years later, and in its second generation version, the muscular and aggressive looking motorcycle is one of the largest selling Ducatis in India today. So, what should we call the Diavel? Is it a naked street, is it a cruiser or is it something else? Ducati’s official tagline for the   diavel sports  is “Don’t call me a cruiser”, so the marketing guys at Ducati certainly don’t want to label the Diavel as a cruiser. What the Diavel s...

Monster 821 2018 Bikes Review Specs

Image
Ducati India is launching the 2018 version of their popular streetfighter offering into the Indian market today – the Ducati Monster 821. With this model Ducati is doing first of its kind launch on its twitter handle only.  The new model by monster 821 comes as a celebration of the Monster range of motorcycles completing 25 years. In terms of visual changes, the most evident one is the new headlamp cluster at the front which bears resemblance to latest Monster 1200. The fuel tank has been chiselled to give a more muscular look and complimenting that approach is the tail section which has been made to look sharper than before.  There are a few changes on the mechanical front as well. The bike continues to be powered by the same  monster 821 sports bike  cc, Testastretta L-twin engine but now it has been worked upon to be BS-IV emission norm compliant.  In the pakistani market, the bike will compete against the likes of the Triumph Street Triple S,...

Ducati 1199 Sports Bike Review

Image
We wondered how the 899 stacked up against the more powerful 1199. Looking at our measured performance data, the 1199 produces 174 hp and 88 pound-feet of torque compared to the 899’s 131 hp and 65 pound-feet. Translated to straight-line speed, the bigger bike sprints through the quarter-mile in 9.91 seconds at 145.50 mph, hits 60 in 2.8 seconds, and has a measured top speed of 182 mph. By comparison, the adolescent Panigale does the quarter in 10.38 at 133.85 mph, hits 60 in 2.7 seconds, and has a top speed of 161. Not many people buy a Panigale to go drag racing, right? So we had two-time AMA SuperSport championship runner-up Hayden Gillim run the two back to back on the tight and twisty Streets of Willow Springs. With our VBOX recording the data, the lighter, agiler 899 trounced the   ducati 1199  by 1.4 seconds (1:18.94 versus 1:20.36), even though its max trap speed of 127.5 mph was significantly slower than the 1199’s 133.4. What gives? 1199 has so much power that...

Ducati 959 Sports Bike Review

Image
On the heels of Sunday’s unveiling of the 2018 Panigale V4 in Milan, Ducati has retired the Panigale 1199/1299. Fear not, though, the V-twin remains a strategic part of the Italian manufacturer’s superb sporting tradition in the form of the 959 Panigale. For the 959—the first Panigale to meet Euro 4 emissions—to evolve into its new spearhead role, Ducati upgraded the bike to Corse spec with top-quality components from Akrapovic, Brembo, Öhlins, and Pirelli. Öhlins is used across the board: a   ducati 959 mm inverted fork, a TTX36 shock, and an adjustable steering damper. Front brakes are from the standard model, with 320mm Brembo discs and four-piston M4.32 calipers. Akrapovic produces the Ti exhaust, which trims a claimed 5.5 pounds from the overall weight of the bike, and a lithium-ion battery replaces the lead-acid unit. Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa tires are standard in 120/70-17 front and 180/60-17 rear sizes. These upgrades are relevant in terms o...

Harley Davidson Fat Boy sports bike review

Image
Low, wide and intimidating. Ever have these been the hallmarks of the Fat Boy line, and it’s still true of today’s subjects. This bottom-heavy look is something of an illusion created by the visual weight of the 18-inch, solid-disc Lakester rims. Yeah, the machined cast-aluminum rims look cool, but if you’ve ever ridden one you’ll already know just how much windage they add, and how keenly every crosswind gust and pressure wave from larger traffic is felt. The front fender is pared down just a skosh, a fact that does nothing to diminish the massy  visage , and the front forks come with the classic beercan skirts to cover the swept area of the inner fork tubes. At the triple-tree, the factory merged the old with the new in the design of the headlight nacelle. While the harley davidson fat boy headlight cluster and DRL ring are round like we are accustomed to seeing, the housing itself is squared off on top, and Y'all can go ahead and pencil me in as  not a fan . ...

5 Sports Bikes in Pakistan

Image
Power Archi 150 was launched under the flagship of Pirani Group and Super Power. The bike features a 4-stroke, single cylinder air cooled engine and electric starter system. Power Archi 150 is one of the finest Chinese bikes considering its design and aerodynamics. The dynamic front and backlight make this bike look sporty and aggressive. The Power Archi 150 is priced around 137,000 PKR. Wego 150 was launched under the flagship of Road Prince earlier in 2015. It can be rightly said that recognising the upcoming boom in the bike market, Road prince grabbed this window of opportunity and launched a 150cc sports bike under the price range of 2 lac. Wego 150cc has aerodynamics with a digital meter, hydraulic shocks and a robust sound. Though the build quality of Wego 150 isn’t appreciable however it is a considerable bike for people who are obsessed with buying a sports bike on a limited budget. Wego 150 is available for a budget of 180,000 PKR. Zxmco has launched a 200cc s...

Harley Davidson Iron 883 Sports Bike Review

Image
The Iron 883 used to be the stepping stone to that all-hallowed brand from Milwaukee, but with a younger, more affordable brand in the Street series taking on that role, the Iron 883 now assumes the role of the middleweight cruiser and the entry to the Dark Custom family. The Iron 883  sticks to the Sportster philosophy and gets an unadulterated and clutter-free design. The peanut-shaped tank gets a clean design with the manufacturer's name in bold lettering.  With a blacked-out exhaust, frame and wheels, the use of chrome has been kept to a bare minimum. The front-biased riding stance also complements the Iron 883’s sporty character.  It gets an LCD display in the instrument cluster which shows the gear position, revs and other details. A switch facilitates scrolling through the menu on the display. As the name suggests, the harley davidson Iron 883   is powered by an 883cc V-twin engine, which produces 50bhp and 69Nm of torque. A part of the Evolution ...

Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide Review

Image
That is a beautiful motorcycle,” said my comely young neighbor as she pushed her baby’s pram by my house as she admired the 2017 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide in Velocity Red Sunglo with Faded Flames paint. Random unsolicited compliments such as that constitute half of the experience of owning a motorcycle as striking as the Wide Glide. The other half, of course, is the enjoyment of riding the relaxed big-inch cruiser with the skinny front tire. While I can admit that I tend toward fat front tires on cruisers, as I like the settled feel of plenty of rubber on the road, the Dyna Wide Glide enjoys light steering that has its own appeal. The Harley-Davidson Dyna family alternates between 16- and 19-inch front wheels, with the Wide Glide as the sole 21-incher in the bunch. It just so happens that the Wide Glide also has the widest rear tire in the Dyna line, a 180 (along with the Fat Bob), so the Wide Glide is an outlier among Dynas. Of course, the Wide Glide doe...
