Addicted to Bikes

They have great looks and hot bodies, with the power to match. Superbikes and cruisers are fast gaining a fan following among India’s rich and famous

You need not own a Cayenne to show your affluent muscle. You can do it with a two-wheeler. The addicts call it the Bike: two wheels that spell power, pedigree and pelf. Well, here’s the sexiest gang: Suzuki Hayabusa, Kawasaki Ninja, Honda CBR, Harley Davidson and the Ducati, which is the most popular of the lot.

Bike importer (anonymous), who owns a Honda CBR 600cc and a Suzuki Hayabusa, has his ears to the ground: “Earlier, we used to get a few orders; now we import at least two high-end bikes a month on average. Depending on the make, these bikes cost anywhere between Rs8 lakh and Rs16 lakh.”

Cars may be ultimate mobile luxury, but a two-wheeler is also a proxy for affluence. Bike professional the rise of the trend, “The aspirations and affordability quotient of people has gone up, so luxury bikes are now in demand. Bikes like the Kawasaki Ninja and Honda Fireblade are a better bet than a luxury car, which can run into a few crores.”

IT capital Bangalore is the newest pillion rider. Say an e-learning company engineer, and a Kawasaki Ninja owner.

“I was in the US for 15 years; there, I rode a Harley Davidson and a sports bike. I see a similar trend in India. In Bangalore, about five years ago, there were about only 25 superbikes; there are about 150 now.”

Bike Crashes Only by Professionals

Superbike ride

It was ridiculous. Exactly where in the script did it say “Janie rides British Superbike- cue lashings of torrential rain” It didn’t. It shouldn’t have. But it did, in stupendious proportions. As if I wasn’t nervous enough. Basically, take my Gixxer Thou’, throw about seventy grand at it, which’ll buy you upgraded suspension, brakes, more power, better cooling, aerodynamics, etc, . . and ta-da, you’ve got one muvver of a bike. A 205bhp Superbike. Gulp! So when Vivalidi (as in the spuds) offered me a test ride of their BSB bike, I thought it’s rude to say no. I mean, if I won the lottery, and wanted to buy my bike a make-over, this superbike is pretty much the ultimate goal. It’s a road bikes final destination, its nirvana. “Honestly Janie, you’ll be fine.” Scott Smart grinned. Yeah Scotty, you’re Barry Sheen’s nephew, Paul Smart’s son, I’m Janie. Big difference mate. Only he was totally right. The team had softened rider Ollie Bridewell’s fuel mapping to accommodate my riding style and ability and the abysmal weather. But tweaks or not, this bike’s power delivery beggared belief. How could something so potentially brutal still be so smooth and manageable? Before I launch into nonsensical streams of dry mouthed, sweaty palmed gibberish, the bottom line is that in the hands of riders like Scotty, these bikes are total animals. But with me, as long as I kept it between 5 and 10,000 rpm (maximum power is at 13,000) I was literally singing in the rain. Well - shouting really. Very, very loudly. It was a once in a lifetime ride. Wet or not, I needed to know what the power really felt like. I grabbed a fistful. Bloomin’ Heck! My bum shot back in the seat as the Gixxer lept forwards. I glanced down. No-where near 13,000 revs. S***! The next turn launched itself at me. Huh- already? Change down, or was it up? Oh heck just tip it . . . The race gearbox is upside down to a regular road bikes, but it didn’t really take too much getting used to. OK, so I went completely the wrong way and sneaked second instead of fourth (on more than one occasion) but hey . .I had a lot on my mind. Lucky me!

Bike Law

Bicycle law is a specialized field of law relating to the use of bicycles. Although bicycle law is a relatively new specialty within the law, first appearing in the late 1980s, its roots date back to the 1880s and 1890s, when cyclists were using the courts to assert a legal right to use the roads. In 1895, George B. Clementson, an American attorney, wrote The Road Rights and Liabilities of Wheelmen, the first book on bicycle law, in which he discussed the seminal cases of the 1880s and 1890s, financed by Albert Pope of Columbia Bicycles, through which cyclists gained the right to the road.

Rizla Suzuki Moto GP GSV-R

My heart’s pounding, threatening to explode. Adrenalin’s surging through my veins. My throat’s dry, my tongue’s like cardboard and my brain ignites with a nervous fire as the bike erupts with a prehistoric roar. The deafening howl rips through the air and hot anticipation surges through my body. This is it. The ride of my life. The one I’ve been waiting for. I cocked a leg over Rizla Suzuki’s Moto GP GSV-R and took a long, deep breath.

Five laps. That’s all. Five mind-blowing laps. I’d never ridden at Valencia before (Play station doesn’t count!) and the Bridgestone slick tyres were also a new experience for me. And then there’s Chris Vermeulen’s 240 bhp, 220 mph, GSV-R bike. It’s priceless. It’s a piece of history. And I’m about to throw it into the last, long left hander before the start finish straight. Gulp.

My knee kissed the track, fleetingly. Breathe. Don’t crash. Relax. Hold on. Look up. My mind was racing. The track disappeared at warp speed as I tucked in and sneaked though the gears. I catapulted down the straight, hanging on for dear life. Third, fourth . . . . The Pit board flashed past me. Rizla blue uniforms hung over the pit wall. Time to brake. Now!

Chris Vermeulen’s advice managed to find space in my swirling mind. The carbon brakes needed to be much hotter than steel ones in order to work well. I squeezed with the usual two fingers, not knowing how much or how little to give. My speed halved in an instant. Down the gearbox to third, grateful of Chris’ road-shift set up as opposed to the ‘upside-down’ race-shift that his team mate John Hopkins runs, and I’m back on my knee as the GSV-R drives hard to the next turn.

Nothing could’ve prepared me for just how utterly magnificent this ride would be. How does it feel against my road going GSX R1000? It’s extraordinarily easy to ride. Everything feels natural; (once you’ve fought the nerves and pressure of the day) It’s just more honed, more refined and a lot, lot faster. At a healthy pace, it’s kind and unbelievably manageable. The power delivery felt smooth and progressive, but also endless. Did I hold the throttle back to the stop, heck- where’s the stop!

Somehow, I’d expected a peaky power that would scare me witless. But that simply wasn’t the case. . not at journalist speeds anyway. Wind it up to a Moto GP pace and I’m pretty sure it throws off the sheep’s clothing and becomes a wild animal that only a GP rider like Chris can control.

As I pulled into pit lane, I heaved an emotional sigh of relief. I’d managed to keep the GSV-R bubble side up whilst under the watchful eye of the entire Rizla Suzuki team and the world’s press! But I was also disappointed that it was all over so damn fast. I’m the only woman in the world to have ridden this bike and I will never, ever forget the experience, every mind-bending second of it!

Superbike Smackdown

We gathered the Big Four's latest batch of literbikes - Honda CBR1000RR, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R1000, and Yamaha R1 - and put them through the motions on the track and street to deliver our judgment in this year's Smackdown.

---

You've heard the names before: Suzuki GSX-R1000, Yamaha R1, Honda CBR1000RR and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. You've seen them at race tracks around the world, on television or maybe even in person. They have passed you on the freeway or the back straight at a trackday, usually on one wheel but occasionally on two. The howl of their motor is intoxicating and the allure of their legendary power-to-weight ratio is hard to resist. They are called the open class sportbike and it's important to give them the respect they demand or you might not walk away.



Superbikes are the high-performance machines of the sportbike world and to spur sales the manufacturers pour money and resources into supporting the racing series to ensure their platform is competitive.
That's where we come in. MotorcycleUSA.com's Superbike Smackdown IV is here and we did the dirty work for you. If all goes as planned, this bike review should shed some light on both the inherent technological goodness and inescapable performance decadence that literbikes exemplify. These 150-horsepower brutes are enjoyable to ride, though newbies and small animals alike tremble at the mention of their name while others like yourselves are drawn to them like a bug to the light. The prospect of wringing one of these bikes out on a favorite back road is too much to resist and because they are designed for maximum racetrack performance, they're the closest thing any of us mortals will ever get to riding a true Superbike or MotoGP machine. Unfortunately, the majority of riders will never even scrape a peg-feeler on the street, unless it's that regrettable moment just before low-siding into the ditch and that really is a shame.

---

Engineers labor for years, paring away grams of unnecessary material from every single chassis component as they eek another couple horsepower out of the lightest, most compact engine designs in history, so it's only right that we give them a proper flogging on the track as well as the street. In the previous three Smackowns we used trackdays for testing and received some grief from the readers and OEMs for not using a controlled environment to conduct our evaluations. Honestly, we agreed with everyone. This time around we're stepping up our game and bringing in not one, but three guest testriders who helped us push the bikes harder and farther than we ever have before.

The wrecking crew for SSIV embodies the same impudent attitude which makes these open classers simultaneously the most misunderstood and most coveted sportbikes on the market. Headlining our entourage is two-time AMA Superstock champion "Top" Jimmy Moore, with AFM road-racing championship contender and owner of Pacific Track Time Michael Earnest along with US Stunt Riders' front man Brian "BS" Steeves rounding out our crew of specialists. This trio of pros joined your two favorite MCUSA Joes, Duke "Big Daddy" Danger and your's truly for a week of apex-strafing, brake pad-baking urban lawlessness and seriously felonious canyon-carving misconduct as we immersed ourselves in clutch roasting debauchery that will forever be known as Superbike Smackdown IV.

This quintet of riders put a quartet of liter bikes to task on two different race tracks and unleashed their fury on a variety of unsuspecting roads in search of the answer to the most significant question of this riding season: Which of these unruly beasts is the superlative Japanese superbike on the market today?

The first track action took place at the famed Buttonwillow Raceway, for the second consecutive year, with Racers Edge Performance tire service on hand to keep fresh Michelin Pilot Power Race rubber on our test units. OEM buns were spooned on for our street ride, which took place on two separate roads. Highway 58 outside of Buttonwillow, California, afforded an opportunity to avoid the city sprawl, while a run up Malibu Canyon gave us a mid-week taste of the Santa Monica Mountains with only one real poseur struttin' his stuff for us at the Rock Store. Then we spun a few more laps during a Fastrack track day at California Speedway just to make sure we didn't miss anything important.

Superbike racing is a category of motorcycle racing that employs modified production motorcycles. Superbike World Championship is the international superbike championship, and national superbike championships are held in many countries as well, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and Canada. Superbike racing is very popular with manufacturers, since it helps promote and sell their product, as captured by the slogan "Win on Sunday; Sell on Monday".
