AWD - All Wheel Drive: An AWD system incorporates a specially designed drive train with a center differential that delivers power to all the four wheels of an automobile. A center differential means that each tyre can rotate at a different speeds. Air Cooled Engine: An air-cooled engine is cooled by the passage of air, generally forced around and over the cylinders. Air Filter: An air filter is installed to prevent the dust and dirt particles in the air from entering the engine's cylinders. It filters out the grime and sends clean air into the cylinder for the combustion process to take place. Aluminum Cylinder Block: It is an engine block cast of aluminum usually with cast iron sleeves installed as cylinder bored. Aluminum helps reduce the weight of the engine and in return makes the car lighter improving its performance.

The Apache is attractive with the screaming racing stripe running along the center. The pulsar is over a year and half old and its presence on Indian road is unmatchable. And the Yamaha YZF R15 with its R15 technological prowess is just cannot be ignored. The following three blogs below clearly show Yamaha beating the other two boys in all aspects excepting for the price. And if a 150cc can do the job of a 220 cc pulsar why go for pulsar then??? Off course there are so many other things to consider. But yet, Yamaha speaks from its raw experience. And it does matter a lot. The Yamaha R15 comes equipped with a Deltabox frame and some of the best mechanical bits that is miles ahead that any other motorcycle in the country. The bike is indeed very entertaining. The Yamaha R15 belongs to the racetrack. And so does TVS in the dirt biking arena. I wonder if Bajaj has this background. So my best pick starting from the best 1) Yamaha R15 2) Apache RTR 160 3) Bajaj Pulsar 220

Japanese Motorcycle manufacturer Yamaha plans to launch a 150cc bike by mid 2008. The new bikes would be four valved and would possibly be a variation to the yamaha R1. The price of this vehicle is expected to be from 80,000 to 90,000 rupees. And is expected to be a tough competition to Bajajs Pulsar and Hero Hondas CBZ Extreme and Karizma. Yamaha has already planned the launch and release of YZF-R1 (1000cc) and MT-01 (1600cc) this year. Fingers crossed It keeps up its name like the RX-100.

Yamaha RX100 - The Old Speed Master

Yamaha RX100 was a 2 stroke motorcycle from Yamaha with a top speed of 100 kmph with a 4 speed gearbox and a fuel economy of 25-35 kilometers/litre. This speed monster was released in India after Escort, Royal Enfield and Jawa (also known as Yezdi) came into picture with their own bikes. Yamaha partnered with a foreign company Escorts to release Yamaha RX 100 with 11 bhp. This bike had the best pickup and speed in the 1980s. Just literally unmatched for its agility, light weight structure and speed even today. The only bike in the 1980s which could beat the speed monster was the Kawasaki KB100 RTZ. And also the Suzuki shogun 110cc. RX100 began losing its count in India due to new emission norms posed by the Govenment. The RX 100, Kawasaki 100 and the Suzuki Shogun - 2 stroke bikes were banned.

Kawasaki has been marketing Ninja since 1986. The marketed bikes in the US is Ninja 250R. And according to Motorcycleusa.com the bike has been kawasaki's best selling bike. The following are the changes done to the bike for 2008: For the 2008 model year, the Ninja 250 increased in price by $500 US, to $3,499, and saw the first major design changes in some two decades. The most significant changes are the loss of the center stand, an overall more modern look, and increasing the wheel size to 17". The front "petal" disk brake was also enlarged, the front suspension was increased in diameter and the dual exhaust was changed to a 2 into 1 layout. The addition of a fuel gauge, a rarity in motorcycles, and the choice to make the speedometer more prominent than the tachometer imply an emphasis on attracting new riders rather than enthusiasts. The engine and drive train are 70% new, retaining only 30% of the older models parts, according to Kawasaki's marketing literat
