Max Biaggi leads the World prances with the RSV4 Superbike official. The Aprilia engine gets a four-cylinder architecture V. In the category of sport bikes, this technical solution was shunned since the demise of the Honda RC45 in 1998. Why?

The choice of engine architecture V-four cylinder, open at 90 °, is fully justified technically, a little less financially. This construction has indeed many advantages. A more compact inline four, a V4 will reduce the size of the motorcycle and to better position the center of gravity of the machine. On the Aprilia RSV4 Factory 1000, the order of ignition in the cylinders is as follows 0-180 ° -425 ° -605 ° -720 °. It is very close to what is proposed with the new Yamaha YZF 1000 R1 (0-220 ° -450 ° -540 ° -720 °), which partly explains their distinctive sound and shows great potential in terms of traction out curve at the expense of pure power.

V formed by the cylinders is 65 °

RSV4 Factory on 1000, the V formed by the cylinders is 65 ° in contrast to those of Desmo16 Ducati and Suzuki GSV-R Moto GP (open to 90 degrees). This implies the presence of a balancer, which is going Ducati, for example. This closed V provides an engine of 17 cm shorter in comparison, for example, that of the GSX-R 1000. Developed by Aprilia, the block delivers 180 horsepower at 12,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 11.7 kgm at 10,000 rpm. His odds hypercarrées allow a maximum speed of 14,000 rpm as high as that of the Yamaha YZF 1000 R1.

In case of failure, dropping or going on holiday for example, it is sometimes required to transport his bike. motorevue.com you book the procedure step by step to do this without problem.

Equipment:
- A trailer with lights, license plate identical to the vehicle was towing if the trailer weighs less than 750 kg empty. For trailers whose weight exceeds 750 kg, the latter are viewed as a vehicle of its own and therefore has a gray card.

Even more than in the wet, be as gentle as possible in your actions and do not hesitate to put your feet on the ground. Forget the high downshift in the towers and think to change with one more gear for a less abrupt throttle response. Finally, choose the safe route as the main roads, priority in case of salting of the roadway. In this regard, do not waste time to clean your bike if you borrowed a road salt to avoid premature corrosion, taking care to seal rings if you use a high pressure jet.

Wednesday is the worst day for traffic on the UK’s roads; according to a congestion survey.

The survey, conducted by Inrix, studied many different traffic problems for the top 25 cities in the U.K, featuring information such as the total number of hours spent in traffic, the worst day of the week for commuting, the worst traffic bottlenecks and the average speed of motorists in these areas.

Inrix compiled a scorecard for each city, to find out the worst place and time to be on the road, and found that driving in Manchester on a Friday between 17:00 & 18:00, where it takes 56% longer to complete the same journey as it would in normal circumstances. Motorists in the UK also spend longer in traffic than drivers in Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands

Hans Puvogel, GM of INRIX Europe said: “Our business is built on knowing what’s going on with traffic day in and day out in 20 countries. The Scorecard, and the data powering the report, will contribute enormously to a better understanding of traffic congestion on U.K. roads helping governments and businesses free people and commerce from gridlock.”

In the UK, the index found that:
• Wednesday is the worst day for traffic, while Monday was the worst week day morning to be on the roads.
• Worst Commuting Hour: Monday 8-9 AM
• Worst Evening Commute: Friday afternoon
• Friday is the best weekday for traffic, and the best commuting hour was again on a Friday, between 06:00 and 07:00
Analysing major motorways to discover the most congested cities, the survey found that drivers in Manchester waste the most hours each year on the road, spending on average 72 hours sat slowly moving through congestion.

This makes for depressing reading for drivers on Britain’s roads; who after spending hours being stuck in traffic, are now being reminded of how long they have frustratingly sat behind the wheel.

Finally, the top 10 worst traffic bottlenecks in the UK were:
1. Birmingham: The M5 heading toward Birmingham at the M6
2. London: The Blackwall Tunnel Approach at Blackwall Lane
3. London: Canterbury Way heading toward the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at the M25
4. Newcastle upon Tyne: The A19 at the Tyne Tunnel North Approach
5. London: Canterbury Way heading toward Purfleet at the M25
6. London: The M25 headed toward Rickmansworth at the J19
7. Glasgow: The M8 heading toward Kingston Bridge at the J22
8. London: The M25 heading toward Dartford at the J18
9. Glasgow: The M8 heading toward Kingston Bridge at the J20
10. Glasgow: The M8 heading toward Seaward at the J21

If you are one of the unfortunate people to be stuck in the above mentioned congestion when travelling long distances to and from work, remember to declare the correct mileage when looking for your car insurance on the likes of Comparethemarket or Moneysupermarket; otherwise if you are involved in a collision and have to make a claim, you may be asked to provide service records to confirm how many miles you have been travelling each year, and if your provider deems you to be doing more miles than you have declared when taking out the policy, your insurance may be invalid and any payout refused.

A few months after its launch, Honda Motor has launched a campaign on safety recall of certain units VFR1200FA models, because of aluminum chips that remain engine.

519 VFR1200FA models (manual classic) are concerned, whose serial numbers range from JH2SC63B * * AK000895 AK000002 to JH2SC63B.

“During the manufacture of the engine VFR1200F, aluminum chips could not be completely removed from the engine block,” said Honda, but “this was due to faulty assembly, which has now been solved”.

“Any chip stayed in the engine may restrict the flow of engine oil, causing an abnormal noise from the engine and in the worst cases, potentially tightening the engine,” the world’s largest automaker.

All owners of affected motorcycles will then receive a mail inviting them to visit their Honda dealer for a “control lubrication system and replacement with a new engine in the presence of aluminum chips.

Riders that we might call “normal”, ie who owns a motorcycle and maybe you go to work or use for a picnic at the weekend certainly did not need to adopt the appropriate boots, as they can also go very well on normal shoes the rubber sole that allow to easily change the shoes ensuring adherence of the foot and avoiding slipping on the iron parts. But for professionals or for those who like long road trip, perhaps for the winding mountain roads are absolutely more appropriate given the boots made of leather and rubber and specially designed to facilitate the use of motorcycle and provide superior protection to ankle than is offered by a normal shoe.

Boots or motorcycle boots, in fact, reaching mid-calf and ensure good ventilation to the foot, with special protections on the tips and rigid at the ankle and special reinforcements on the instep left, that move the gear shift lever entering contact with the pedal is on the sole of the foot instep.

Even if you do not want or do not need to acquire the boots, are absolutely prohibited, running, heels and shoes with smooth leather soles, which threatens security.

Waxed in rain

Both in summer and in winter the rain may take us by surprise. In these cases, just as you would in a car but with a little ‘more prudence, you should reduce the speed of gait, avoid sudden braking too, avoiding overly stiff because you must always keep in mind that although you would not think , is not so easy to fall in motion. These recommendations apply also and especially for the passenger, which could agitate and disrupt the weight on the bike, thus creating additional difficulties to those who are leading the movement.

The suits are clothing motorcycle more technical niche, which give the wearer the look of a professional two-wheeler. But even non-professionals and amateurs wearing overalls especially when they face quite a long journey, and because this is very comfortable and very ergonomic, functional iron for driving, perfect for the passenger, for the simple fact that extends all positive points of a jacket to the whole body.

It must be realized, however, that the suit is aimed mainly at sports or professional use is therefore indispensable for a fall clothing runners in motion as a profession, while unlikely you will find in the wardrobe of a regular fan, unless not like delight in long journeys during the coldest months of the year. Especially when it’s cold, in fact, the suit offers excellent thermal insulation especially in the area of the loins and back, protecting even the air buoyancy on the velocity, which everyone knows to be able to infiltrate everywhere smaller raindrops: with the suit this problem does not exist because it provides a perfect seal.

Advantages and disadvantages of motorcycle suit

Benefits

The suits are made only motorcycle leather, making them the ideal companion for a long trip, maybe during the winter. Besides this, already have the important protections stiff shoulders, elbows, knees and back. Only hands remain uncovered and must be protected with suitable gloves, preferably also made of leather to ensure maximum protection to all parts of the body.

Disadvantages

The only aspect that might be called a disadvantage, though relative, is the price that it is a head made entirely of leather is certainly not very accessible. In addition, if you stop to rest or to eat something, the suit may be a little ‘uncomfortable because the top does not come off and remain hanging, making awkward movements.
Rigid protection: ensuring maximum safety for the Centaur

We have already discussed previously but happy to talk it back: hard guards are a crucial part of a motorcyclist in clothing, as they protect strategic parts of the body from impact of a possible fall. In the hope, anyway, we should not ever get to test their wing real resistance.

The protections are substantially rigid reinforcements made of carbon or plastic that are placed at points that should be the first to be impacted against the tarmac in the event of a fall, ie shoulders, elbows, knuckles and knees, and of course back . Some of these protections have names that may raise some ‘curiosity and arising from their shape, such as the’ shell ‘to protect the back or’ soap ‘to my knees.

Before buying any item of clothing motorcycle, make sure it has these important protections, or at least has the necessary arrangements for them to apply at a later time. The guards, in fact, are also sold separately, so you can easily replace if you damage a bump or a fall, or even if you were to simply wear out with age.

The gloves are a motorcycle accessory essential to ensure optimum grip on the handlebars, thanks to a special layer of rough material that is in the palm. Always with the goal of a perfect grip, gloves should be very tight, to have greater sensitivity on the knobs. The sensitivity of the knobs is important to accelerate and brake properly, especially in cases of emergency, even when there is forced to brake suddenly and you cannot afford to ‘lose’ the brake lever or be hampered by excessive Fabric or leather.

In addition to improving the grip, the gloves are also used to repair the hands from the air: On the slide, in fact, hands are the body parts most exposed to wind, cold, crushed stone, gravel and anything else that could off the road and hit you. Even the passenger, despite traveling behind the pilot needs to safety gloves, to grasp more firmly supports that in some motorcycles are on the back to allow passengers to cling to.

Gloves material

The gloves are made of many types of tissue, among which we mention the leather, neoprene and Gore-Tex. Obviously there are models summer and winter models, which greater insulation. Whatever the season, it is important to present the gloves, even in this case, the appropriate protections rigid, usually made of carbon, which serve to protect the knuckles in the event of a fall. The protective gloves, unlike those of the jackets, are fixed and cannot be removed, it is possible that in some models particularly padded, such as winter, there are no strict protections as likely to make the glove too voluminous to also be functional and comfortable to drive.

Even if the glove material of choice is always the skin, much more resistant than other materials especially in case of knocks, bumps and falls, as well as being far more resistant to normal wear also given by the time.

Unlike the other clothing technician if the price of the gloves between the models in leather and those made with other materials does not change much, thus making the skin an ideal choice, and even more (in this case ) affordable.

When it comes to the topic of motorcycle clothing, we have unfortunately put aside purely aesthetic and focus on aspects concerning the most important personal safety.

A good quality motorcycle clothing, in addition to being comfortable and ensure the correct use of motorcycle, and serves mainly to protect the riders as possible in case of accident. Therefore, safety comes before anything else, if then in a well-made motorcycle clothing and quality is also something that pleases the eye, the better, but remains a minor issue.

The issue of security in case motorcycle clothing should not be limited to those who ride the bike but would also extend to any passenger who has the same rights and duties of the pilot as regards personal safety.

If we mention some of the best brands of motorcycle clothing, the first that come to mind are Aplinestar, Dainese and Ducati. These marks suggest a very wide range of technical clothing and accessories for motorcyclists.

Regarding prices, the garments which provide more scattered are the suits and jackets, and gloves and boots are priced much more accessible. Obviously, prices are soaring if you choose to purchase a garment leather or microfiber fabric that respect. All clothing for motorcyclists are also available for female, the difference between the models for men is substantially lower parts, which are shaped, while in color there are many differences between the models for men or women .

Motorcycle jackets

When you are driving your bike is important to wear at all times an adequate biker jacket, can protect from the wind and any debris, animal or object can be found in the air and strike with great speed, with the risk of suddenly we have lost control of the medium: we speak of stones, gravel, stones and other objects that may be on the road, or large insects and birds, up to object that any car in front of us could lose … or its occupant Disposable rudely (and dangerous for us) out the window.
