The new 2013 YAMAHA YZF R1

Lady's and gentleman, I introduce to you the Yamaha YZF R1, one of the baddest and meanest looking bikes out there in the market. This motorcycle will launch you from 0 to 100km in only 3 seconds, which is more than enough for this sport bike enthusiast. The new 2013 Yamaha R1 benefits from MotoGP technology with the bike having a seven level traction control. This system was developed to make the rider feel safer and more natural, unlike other bikes where the traction control effects it so much to the point where it begins to feel unnatural. Another great thing about this bike is the instrumentation which includes everything a rider wants to know, including gear position

In keeping with this machines exceptional cornering ability and crisp handling, the aluminum frame has been designed to offer exceptional rigidity balance.The rear frame is lightweigt Controlled-Fill die-cast magnesium, contributing the optimum mass centralization. Suspension includes YHSJ (Yamaha Hydraluic System Japan) front forks which use one of the tricks developed for our winning MotoGP® bikes: independent damping. The left fork handles compression damping and the right side handles rebound damping. And the rear shock adopts bottom linkage for optimum suspension characteristics.

This R1 keeps all the technological superiorities developed for its predecessor: YCC-T® (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle) is a MotoGP® inspired fly-by- wire technology used to deliver instant throttle response. YCC-I® is Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake which is a variable intake system that broadens the spread of power. The fuel injection system provides optimum air/fuel mixtures for maximum power and smooth throttle response. Due to these benefits, this sport bike enthusiast gives the Yamaha R1 a 5/5 stars.

The New 2013 Kawasaki ZX6r

It's mean, green and a beast of a machine, Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you the new 2013 Kawasaki ninja ZX6r motorcycle. It's nimble and powerful which is exactly what this sportbike enthusiast is looking for. Today I'll be talking about the pros and cons of this beast of a machine. Lets begin with one of the most important pros of this bike which is... power, the extra 36cc displacement means its one of the most powerful 600's around. In addition, due to its nimbleness this is one of the easiest bikes to go around the corners in the track. This bike is also a popular bike for the stunt crowd which means that parts for this bike won't be too hard to find. Another pro for this bike is the new ABS and traction control they introduced with this years model, which will help you get out of some sticky situations.

Now lets move to the cons, and one of them is the cost of the ABS model. It's too expensive for some and other bikes with the same feature are a lot cheaper. Another con for this bike is its weight, its one of the heavier 600cc sporbikes out there today. In addition, this bike has some things that I'm not too happy or personally too fond of and one of them is the tank shape which I find weird, but then again that's just me. This bike also has some dull looking plastic pieces which kind of makes the bike look cheap.

Over all this bike is a great bike, the pros certainly out weigh the cons by a pretty big margin. In conclusion this sportbike enthusiast gives the new 2013 Kawasaki ninja ZX6r a 5/5 stars.

This body work not only looks good but also lowers the drag by 6.25 compared to the previous year's model. A feature that makes the CBR600rr stand out compared to its competitors is its fuel gauge.

The cons of the CBR600rr is that the exhaust is located in the under tail. This creates a high center of gravity which is something you don't want because it makes the bike harder to balance. The Exhaust location under the seat also adds extra weight because of the heat shields required to keep the rear seat from burning. However, this is a very minor con, therefore this Sport bike enthusiast gives the 2013 CBR600rr a 5/5 stars
