Ducati Monster 821 breaks cover

May 29, 2014 by Team Bike India Leave a Comment

Ducati Monster 821 Web1

Ducati have unveiled the latest addition to its Monster family in the form of the all new Monster 821. The new Monster is powered by an all new 821cc Testastretta 11° liquid-cooled V-twin engine, which will produce112 PS of raw power and 89 Nm of peak torque. The Monster 821 sports the DNA of the Italian brand’s previous Monsters – naked beasts with oodles of fun!

The new Monster is set to feature Ducati’s latest technological advancements, and technicians are set to give the 821 plenty of features. The new Monster is set to sport an eight-level traction control system, along with three-level ABS and ride-by-wire. All these standout features make the Monster 821 a more pleasurable and safer bike to ride on the street.

Ducati is set to offer the Monster 821 two liveries – Basic and Dark. The new Ducati Monster 821 will be in dealerships starting July 2014.

Ducati have targeted the new Monster 821 as an interesting option for those in search of an upper-middleweight naked street-fighter.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Aprilia Tuono V4R: Road Test

March 13, 2014 by Team Bike India Leave a Comment

Aprilia_Tuono_V4RWeb5

Like the RSV4, from which it’s derived, the Tuono V4R ABS is a seriously rapid superbike, with a top speed of over 260 km/h, and in naked bike fashion it’s often all the more fun for emphasising rather than disguising that speed. The Tuono V4R was always brilliant — one of the top bikes of the last few years for me — but touched by madness too. By essentially removing the fairing from an RSV4 super-sports bike and bolting on a wide one-piece handlebar in place of its clip-ons, Aprilia created a naked V4 that was fast, loud, agile and fantastic fun on track or the right road.

However, although there was actually a lot more to the Tuono V4R than appearances suggested — including a slightly de-tuned 999-cc engine and a re-jigged frame — there’s no doubt that Aprilia’s naked weapon was too hardcore for many. It was an absolute blast in the right situation — but harsh, loud, thirsty and ill-suited to the real world that most riders inhabit most of the time.

Now Aprilia have tweaked the naked V4 to make it, in their words, “more incisive, sophisticated and safe” for 2014. Softened suspension, a larger tank, re-designed seat and the addition of an ABS brake system are all designed to make the Tuono more rider-friendly and easy to live with. In the words of Marco Zuliani, Aprilia’s Product Manager, “Naked bikes spend most of their time on the road, so we have listened to customers and improved the Tuono’s attitude for road use.”

And, fortunately, they haven’t forgotten that its attitude is what made the V4R special. With the Tuono’s status as the ultimate naked weapon seemingly about to be challenged by rival big-bore naked models of unprecedented viciousness — including KTM’s Super Duke R, BMW’s long-rumoured S1000RR derivative and Kawasaki’s revamped Z1000 — the Italian company couldn’t resist giving their contestant a bit more firepower too.
