TVS Star Sport

TVS brand has become very popular over the last few years and clearly the company wants to increase the popularity of the trip. Almost 75% of the company's sales come from the brand bike stars. Yet another star who was born recently are TVS Star Sports coming in version 2. Sport basic version comes in two colors; Carbon black and red jets, and alloy wheels. Deluxe version is equipped with a fuel gauge and double-toned sporty chrome graphics in about 3 colors, black, blue and silver.

If you want me to review the performance of TVS Star, let me tell you that the bike comes with the Sport 99.7cc engine and give 7.5bhp peak power. Sport brother similar to Star City, which comes with a down-tubed chassis and four-speed gearbox. Suspension has looked the same as those in Star City, but the rear one comes with a 5-step adjustable stroke only slightly longer than the First City. Sport comes with alloy wheels, and what makes them different from the City is that the new face-lift silencer (silencer and matte chrome heat shield
with dual pod cluster). I reviewed another indicator Star Sport and they came as usual with the dome light and lights the pilot 5. (TVS review this feature to be one of the first in this segment).

Body panels and tail lamps received some tweaking to give a more streamlined appearance and overall elegance of the rear. Slim fuel tank and side panels double tight to make it interesting. The vibration is still a problem that TVS may have to deal with seriously in the coming days to provide serious competition big names in the market.

So he said, Star Sport is basically an economic cycle is targeted at middle-class masses. Prices fell to one version below the 40k mark. In addition, TVS offers a 5-year warranty on some parts of the bike. If you asked me two words a verdict on my review, I would say that TVS Star Sport is a stylish and discreet bike worth all the money for the first time bike buyers.

Around the turn of the century the gasoline engine was developed and introduced a single-cylinder motor.India in 1901 was the first in 1903 and Mitschell motorcycles, Merkel and Yale.This motor was originally built for racing and is supported by a single-cylinder gasoline combustion engine.
In 1903 in Milwaukee, Bill Harley and Arthur Walter Davidson developed a one-cylinder motor. That is a reliable and even a beautiful cycle. And ... someone buy it!! In 1905 they had made 11 motorcycles, in 1908 it was 154 and ... they have a company, in a small wooden shed, which was built by Davidson's father.Small company extended quickly and another member of the Davidson family, William, joined them. In a short time they hired about 20 employees at a factory building especcially stone.
In 1909, Bill Harley made the first project 1000 CC V-Twin. It produces modest seven horsepower. 45-degree V-twin would become one of the more recognizable images of Harley-Davidson. V-Twin is staying with HD long, long time. Maybe hard to believe, but Harley-Davidson did not create the V-twins!! When Bill Harley developed one, he just followed the trend of time.
1910 brought the legendary "Bar and Shield" logo is placed on their motorbikes. This will be a defining symbol of Harley-Davidson to this day. Many first place victory in the race, endurance contests and hill ride Harley-Davidson to give more recognition."F-head" engine introduced in 1911. This will be a hard worker power until 1929, when the "Flathead" engine is introduced.
In the year 1912 saw further development of Harley-Davidson Company. Construction began on the new 6-story factory. Harley-Davidson also became an exporter this year and sales in their first overseas are made in Japan. In these countries there are now more than 200 dealers.
1914 saw the addition of sidecar to the Harley-Davidson. The Company also formally put their hand in the ring motorcycle racing this year and will soon dominate the sport and became known as the "destroyer Crew".
1915 saw the emergence of three-speed sliding gear transmission. In 1917, one third of all Harley-Davidson sent abroad for the U.S. Military to fulfill their patriotic call and to assist in the war effort. The next year, roughly half of the motorcycles produced were sold to the U.S. military. In the end, about 20,000 motorcycles are used in the war, most of them Harley-Davidson. At this time, Harley-Davidson is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world with nearly 2,000 dealerships worldwide. 1918 Harley-Davidson is the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They even survived the depression. V-twin was Harley's specialty, so the company tries to beat rival the one who left ... India.But these days are thoughest, because a motorbike out of date and declining car prices (T-Ford was born).
Therefore, Harley Davidson tried other technical companies, such as manufacturing parts, side cars and even airplane motor-engines, but they also improve their own products.
1920s saw several changes in motor performance, better known today. One of these changes is the form of identifiable teardrop gas tank. In 1926, single-cylinder engine once again available, which was discontinued in 1918. In 1928, the first twin-cam engine and front wheel brake is available at Harley-Davidson. With this modification, the motorcycle can reach speeds exceeding 85 mph.

These days the biggest Harley ever appeared, CC 1340. This Harley Davidson motorcycle into a trademark. 1936 was also a milestone in history. Stupid launched that year and this bike is also a victory over India. And when in 1947 the Panhead was expelled from the factory, Harley Davidson The American Motorcycle.
In the 1940s, Harley-Davidson once again answered the patriotic call and sent motorcycles overseas to help in the war effort. In 1941, civilian production on the motorcycle was mostly suspended as the company turned out motorcycles for the war. Because of the commitment and excellence, Harley-Davidson received the Army-Navy "E" award; this will not be the last time. In November 1945, civilian production once again started. In 1947, Harley-Davidson to buy A.O. The old Smith Propeller Plant and used it as a machine shop. Section made here was sent back to the old factory on Juneau Avenue for final assembly. In 1949, hydraulic front brakes were introduced on the Hydra-Glide models.
In the fifty's Harley survived another bad period. UK owned 40% of the motorcycle market with a Triumph! In 1957 fortunately Sportster was born, the fastest Harley ever. A great success! Just as the British motorcycle industry, Harley stuck to the technique, style and caracter. That's why this motorcycle was so populair for many, many years.In contrast to England manufacturors, Harley Davidson survived this decision. Since the attacks of Japanees from the Far East, England disappeared without a trace and America nearly to death. Even the Shovelhead could not save his ass.
1969, Time for a merger with American Machine and Foudry Company (AMF).However, the decline in the quality and ernormously Super Glide and the 1970 year SLCR Caféracer got a bad name. But Harley Davidson bought itself out and survived and with launching the new Evolution-motor in 1984, the company managed to create a modern motorcycle, which was Harley Davidson.

Harley is, like the porch, funn stuff for people with money and appearance. So, "rich" customers rule the market. This could be tempted to Harley Davidson to participate in this advertising hype, but when the hype is over, they knew the company will remain and will continue to sell the bike ... because of the loyal followers.For these people, despite age and appearance, a Harley is the only one. This is obviously proud, great and cool cycle, without doing the best for it. However, Harley is not fastest and manageable cycles, riding Harley is uncomparable with riding any other bike ...

2009 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King


Harley-Davidson styling heritage meets long-range riding comfort in the Road King. The large, detachable windshield and hard-shell saddlebags make this a versatile motorcycle suitable for touring or commuting. Classic styling touches include the chrome Hiawatha headlamp and clear-lens auxiliary passing lights, chrome engine covers, a deep-skirted FL front fender and white-stripe tires. The seat has been restyled for 2009 with chrome accents and a new low-mount license bracket locates the plate below the tail lamp, with new LED license plate illumination.
A new chassis designed to deliver precise responsive maneuverability, increased capacity and greater comfort for rider and passenger underpins the seven-model Harley-Davidson Touring family for 2009.
Incorporating an all-new frame, swingarm, engine mounting system, wheels and tires, the new chassis forms the foundation for what are truly all-new motorcycles. The key styling elements of these motorcycles, however, are essentially unchanged so that the distinctive character and mechanical beauty of each Touring model is preserved.
“In 2009, Harley-Davidson will mark its 15th consecutive year of leading the touring segment in market share,” said Bill Davidson, Harley-Davidson Vice President, Core Customer Marketing. “Harley-Davidson takes pride in this leadership of an entire touring experience that includes great motorcycles, along with the activities of the Harley Owner’s Group, the philosophy of riding with customers while attracting new ones, and producing high quality items like Genuine Motor Accessories and MotorClothes Merchandise. Our dedication to constant improvement of Harley-Davidson motorcycles brings the new chassis and other upgrades for 2009 to deliver a new level of agility and responsiveness, rider and passenger comfort, and cargo capacity.”
The 2009 Touring models continue a series of product innovations that can be traced back to a research study conducted by the company in 2002, and to face-to-face interaction with customers who rode an estimate 50 million miles during the Harley-Davidson 100th Anniversary event in 2003. Armed with this feedback, Harley-Davidson launched a program to maintain its touring leadership through the introduction of the Twin Cam 96 engine and 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission, 103ci and 110ci Big Bore kits through Genuine Motor Accessories, the Isolated Drive System, electronic throttle control, Brembo brakes with optional ABS, a six-gallon fuel tank, reduced clutch lever effort, the Advanced Audio System by Harman-Kardon, GPS navigation with Ride Planner downloads, a high-output charging system to better enable new accessory heated seats and grips, and a two-year warranty with extended service intervals.
Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles, the Kings of the American road, have been tested by time and millions of highway miles in the hands the most demanding long-distance riders in the world. All 2009 Touring models are powered by the rubber-mounted 1584cc Twin Cam 96 V-Twin engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), mated to the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission for outstanding performance and economy. All models also feature air-adjustable rear shocks to accommodate variable passenger and luggage loads.
The All-New Touring ChassisNew from the tires up, the Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame that supports an increase in load capacity of 70 pounds. This allows for a five pound increase in each saddlebag and the Tour-Pak. A new swingarm contributes significantly to the overall system. The engine-isolation system has been revised to reduce engine and vehicle vibrations at idle speed.
The wheel-and-tire package is updated, with front wheel diameter increased to 17 inches from 16 inches (except for the Road King Classic) while the width of the 16-inch rear wheel is increased to five inches from three inches. All Touring models will be equipped with new Dunlop D407 Multi-Tread rear tires that offer up to 25 percent more rear-tire tread life. The wider rear wheel accommodates a new 180/65-16 rear tire. The new front tire is a 130/80-17. Front and rear suspension has been recalibrated to match the dynamics of the new chassis, wheels and tires.
Powertrain revisions include a new 2-1-2 exhaust system that reduces heat exposure to the rider and passenger, and a lower final drive ratio for improved acceleration performance. Rear styling is cleaner, with a wider fender and the elimination of the rear “hoop” over the fender on models not equipped with a Tour-Pak. (Please see the separate Touring Chassis Tech release for more detailed information.)
Key Touring Family Features
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): Offered as a factory-installed option on all 2009 Touring models, ABS is designed to help the rider maintain control during braking events, especially those that happen in less-than-optimal conditions. The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving the uncluttered styling of the area around the wheels. Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is not a linked system, meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of both front and rear brakes.
Electronic Throttle Control: Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) replaces mechanical cables on all Touring models. All wiring from the throttle-grip sensor is routed through the handlebars. The ETC enables an easy upgrade to a cruise control system, and unclutters the handlebar area for cleaner styling.
Factory-Option Cruise Control: Available for all models that do not come equipped with cruise control as standard equipment.
Isolated Drive System: The Isolated Drive System compensator is now integrated into the rear wheel hub, eliminating the bolt-on bowl for a cleaner look. The Isolated Drive System reduces noise and vibration to the rider for improved ride quality under acceleration, shifting and cruising.


New Features:
The new chassis that underpins the 2009 Touring motorcycles from Harley-Davidson improves comfort and functionality of these legendary machines, while preserving the timeless character that makes a Harley-Davidson Touring bike the King of the American road.
The Touring frame, triple clamps, swingarm, engine mounts, exhaust system, rear fender, wheels and tires have been redesigned, and together provide the foundation for what are truly all-new motorcycles. Key styling elements – including the front end, fuel tank, saddlebags and Tour-Pak – are essentially unchanged, so that these Touring models are visually similar to those distinctive motorcycles that precede them. Ride quality remains smooth, while maneuverability is precise and responsive.
The FrameForming the core of the 2009 Touring chassis is a new frame with a single-spar, rigid backbone designed to sustain the demands of long-haul touring riders and today’s powerful engines. The new frame provides a strong foundation that supports a 70 pound increase in carrying capacity. The storage compartments have a 15-pound increase in rated cargo capacity (five pounds per saddlebag, and five pounds in the Tour-Pak).
The frame is engineered to be manufactured with the latest coordinated motion robotic welding process, which offers outstanding dimensional accuracy and weld quality. The frame design results in a 50 percent reduction in parts, and a 50 percent reduction in the total length of welds. T-studs have been eliminated, and the components of the new frame are joined with cast and forged node-tube joints.
A separate bolt-on tail section isolates the main frame from the tail frame, providing better quality-control during manufacturing and more product-design flexibility. The new tail section improves the fit-and-finish of the rear area of the motorcycle through more-precise alignment of the rear fender over the rear wheel.
A new swingarm is formed with a two-piece, deep-drawn shell with a forged pivot section. The new swingarm contributes significantly to the overall system.
The engine-isolation system has also been revised, resulting in reduced engine and vehicle vibration at idle speed. The new system replaces a single front isolator with twin front isolators with a single tie link. The front and rear mounts are designed to provide optimal balance between stiffness and isolation, and are intended to be very durable. Finally, new asymmetric snubbers provide improved control of the clearance between the engine and frame during extreme bump events.
Wheels, Tires and SuspensionA new wheel-and-tire combination plays a key role in the responsive performance of the 2009 Touring chassis. Front wheel diameter is increased to 17 inches from 16 inches (except for the Road King Classic, which has 16-inch Laced chrome steel wheels front and rear), while the width of the 16-inch rear wheel is increased to five inches from three inches. New 28-spoke cast aluminum wheels were designed using finite element analysis for maximal stiffness with minimal weight. The Street Glide has restyled Slotted Disc cast aluminum wheels that have also been engineered for maximum stiffness with minimal weight.
All 2009 Touring models will be equipped with new Dunlop D407 Multi-Tread rear tires designed specifically for the new Harley-Davidson Touring chassis. The construction of the tires and the distribution of a longer life center tread compound and more aggressive shoulder compound enhance straight line performance and will deliver up to 25 percent more rear-tire tread life than the previous tire. The wider rear wheel accommodates a new 180/65-16 rear tire that is wider and has a lower aspect ratio than the MU85B16 tire it replaces. The new rear tire size contributes to the increase in cargo capacity. The new front tire, a 130/80-17, also has a lower aspect ratio for a more modern look and responsive handling. Front and rear suspension has been recalibrated to match the dynamics of the new chassis, wheels and tires. Steering head rake and fork angle are unchanged at 26 degrees and 29.25 degrees respectively, but trail has been increased by 0.5 inch to 6.9 inches. Wheelbase is increased by .556 inches, to 63.54 inches.
PowertrainAll 2009 Touring models are powered by the Twin Cam 96 V-Twin engine with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) mated to the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. A new one-piece welded exhaust header features a 2-into-1-into-2 design and features new routing to enhance rider and passenger comfort. On models so equipped, the exhaust catalyst is located in the collector. The rear pipe is restyled and now curves forward of the transmission. A new single-piece front exhaust shield replaces the previous two-piece shield and eliminates a gap that exposed the exhaust pipe on the previous exhaust system.
Acceleration performance is improved on all 2009 Touring models due to a lower final drive ratio, as a 68-tooth rear sprocket replaces the previous 66-tooth sprocket. The Isolated Drive System has been redesigned, and the compensator is now integrated into the rear wheel hub, eliminating the bolt-on bowl for more integrated design.
Styling, Comfort and ConvenienceThe increase in wheelbase allowed the saddlebags to be moved rearward a corresponding distance (.556 inches) to increase passenger legroom in front of the saddlebags. The elimination of the left-rear exhaust pipe, and the new routing of the right-rear exhaust pipe, reduces the heat exposure to the rider’s thighs and the passenger’s calves.
The rear fender has been re-shaped to accommodate the new 180 mm rear tire, and is also designed to work with 18-inch custom rear wheels from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories. On models not equipped with a Tour-Pak, the license plate has been relocated below the tail light and is illuminated by an LED located in an eyebrow on the turn signal lightbar, except on the Road King Classic. Finally, the rear “hoop” over the fender has been eliminated from models not equipped with a Tour-Pak. The combination of these elements results in a striking new look to the rear end, with perfect proportions that are especially evident on Touring models that are not equipped with the Tour-Pak.
The new Tour-Pak support rack has no holes in the tubes for Tour-Pak attachment. The new design uses fewer fasteners and hardware, and makes it easier to adjust the Tour-Pak fore and aft for passenger comfort. Tour-Pak capacity is increased by five pounds. Saddlebag capacity is increased by five pounds per side.
Shorty dual antennas replace the previous whip antennas. With no loss of performance, both the radio and CB antennas now clear a seven-foot garage door.
A new LED rear-fender tip light on the Electra Glide Classic and Ultra Classic Electra Glide is brighter and more attractive than the incandescent bulb it replaces.
The revised exhaust routing and other new features combine to deliver comfort for the long haul in a variety of environments.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON TOURING CHASSIS IS NEW FROM THE TIRES UPResponsive Maneuverability, More Comfort and Greater Capacity on Seven Models
MILWAUKEE (July 22, 2008) – A new chassis designed to deliver precise responsive maneuverability, increased capacity and greater comfort for rider and passenger underpins the seven-model Harley-Davidson Touring family for 2009.
Incorporating an all-new frame, swingarm, engine mounting system, wheels and tires, the new chassis forms the foundation for what are truly all-new motorcycles. The key styling elements of these motorcycles, however, are essentially unchanged so that the distinctive character and mechanical beauty of each Touring model is preserved.

Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles, the Kings of the American road, have been tested by time and millions of highway miles in the hands the most demanding long-distance riders in the world. All 2009 Touring models are powered by the rubber-mounted 1584cc Twin Cam 96 V-Twin engine with Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI), mated to the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission for outstanding performance and economy. All models also feature air-adjustable rear shocks to accommodate variable passenger and luggage loads.
The All-New Touring ChassisNew from the tires up, the Touring chassis is based on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame that supports an increase in load capacity of 70 pounds. This allows for a five pound increase in each saddlebag and the Tour-Pak. A new swingarm contributes significantly to the overall system. The engine-isolation system has been revised to reduce engine and vehicle vibrations at idle speed.
The wheel-and-tire package is updated, with front wheel diameter increased to 17 inches from 16 inches (except for the Road King Classic) while the width of the 16-inch rear wheel is increased to five inches from three inches. All Touring models will be equipped with new Dunlop D407 Multi-Tread rear tires that offer up to 25 percent more rear-tire tread life. The wider rear wheel accommodates a new 180/65-16 rear tire. The new front tire is a 130/80-17. Front and rear suspension has been recalibrated to match the dynamics of the new chassis, wheels and tires.
Powertrain revisions include a new 2-1-2 exhaust system that reduces heat exposure to the rider and passenger, and a lower final drive ratio for improved acceleration performance. Rear styling is cleaner, with a wider fender and the elimination of the rear “hoop” over the fender on models not equipped with a Tour-Pak. (Please see the separate Touring Chassis Tech release for more detailed information.)
Key Touring Family Features
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): Offered as a factory-installed option on all 2009 Touring models, ABS is designed to help the rider maintain control during braking events, especially those that happen in less-than-optimal conditions. The components of the Harley-Davidson ABS have been designed and packaged to be virtually invisible, preserving the uncluttered styling of the area around the wheels. Unlike many motorcycle ABS, Harley-Davidson ABS is not a linked system, meaning the rider maintains full, independent control of both front and rear brakes.
Electronic Throttle Control: Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) replaces mechanical cables on all Touring models. All wiring from the throttle-grip sensor is routed through the handlebars. The ETC enables an easy upgrade to a cruise control system, and unclutters the handlebar area for cleaner styling.
Factory-Option Cruise Control: Available for all models that do not come equipped with cruise control as standard equipment.
Isolated Drive System: The Isolated Drive System compensator is now integrated into the rear wheel hub, eliminating the bolt-on bowl for a cleaner look. The Isolated Drive System reduces noise and vibration to the rider for improved ride quality under acceleration, shifting and cruising.

Triumph Street Triple R


Triumph's Street Triple R is a fantastically versatile sporting package with one of our favorite engines of all time. It's an elemental motorcycle but with major-league performance built in, and its fun-to-ride quotient is sky high, earning our MoBo Motorcycle of the Year for 2009.
Triumph had a good thing going when it unveiled the sweet Street Triple 675, a pared-down streetfighter version of the beloved Daytona 675 sportbike. The Street Triple’s finest feature is its soul-stirring three-cylinder engine that boasts a broad powerband and a symphonic exhaust note. The motor, re-tuned from the Daytona, has a predictable but powerful output that makes it accessible and unintimidating to riders of all skill levels yet is satisfying for even the saltiest veterans. Comfortable ergos – including a reasonably low seat height – and an eminently toss-able nature made it a staff darling, but we were a little disappointed it had some bargain-minded bits to keep the retail figure low.
But like a dream come true, the Street Triple R was introduced just last year, replete with the Daytona’s up-spec fully adjustable suspension and potent radial-mount Nissin brake calipers, alleviating all of our concerns. The result is an invigorating and versatile roadster that stickers for less than $10K. Lofting the front wheel is a snap, and before you know it you’ll be drifting out the back end like an inspired Brit hooligan. And on your favorite twisty back road, its friendly yet potent character is almost unbeatable, proving that no one really needs triple-digit horsepower peaks. Now that Triumph perfected the Street in our eyes, it became the perfect Standard. And it's our favorite motorcycle of 2009.

Triumph Thunderbird Set for 2010


At the INTERMOT Cologne show, Triumph unveiled its new Thunderbird cruiser to take on the Big Twins in America. Powered by a 1599 DOHC Parallel Twin, the Thunderbird bridges the gap between Triumph's smaller displacement cruisers and the mammoth Rocket III.
The new Twin gets its displacement via a big 103.8 x 94.3mm bore and stroke. Power claims on the new Thunderbird's spec sheet claims "in excess of" 80 hp and 100 lb-ft of torque. Driving that power to the rear wheel is a belt drive and six-speed transmission. The all-new powerplant is liquid-cooled with fuel injection.
The chassis includes cast aluminum five-spoke wheels mated to a tubular steel frame and swingarm. Showa suspension components are sourced, 47mm fork up front and chromed spring shocks out back (shocks are five-position preload adjustable.)
Dual 310mm front rotors are pinched by 4-piston Nissin calipers, with rear braking a single 310mm rotor teamed with a 2-piston Brembo caliper. ABS will be available as an option for potential customers.
A 5.5-gallon fuel tank also houses the instrument cluster, with speedo, tach and LCD display. The Thunderbird will also utilize self-cancelling turn signals.
Built to compete directly with the Twin Cam Harley-Davidson, the new Triumph Thunderbird will be an important piece of the American Triumph strategy.
"It's been obvious for many years to people that from the American Speedmaster, there's a big gap between those bikes and the Rocket III," said Simon Warburton, Triumph Head Product Manager. "We see the future of the Thunderbird being a big part of our range."2010 Triumph ThunderbirdThe American cruiser market will have a new option in the 1599cc Triumph Thunderbird.
The base model will feature numerous accessories for customization, including touring and two-up extras, as well as cosmetic upgrades. American Trumpet fans will have to wait, however, as the new Thunderbird is not slated for US shores until September of 2009, making it a 2010 model.
