These are computer generated image of the YAMAHA FZ8 that is going to be launched very soon in Europe. Some time ago, YAMAHA MOTOR EUROPE has posted a picture of a new Yamaha Motorcycle, FZ8 which was supposed to be launched by November or early December, but now, the website says just wait for the updates. Which means the FZ8 is definitely there but just take might take some more time. The website just shows the headlamp of the FZ8 and that is sure that this will carry forward the Fazer/ FZ motto of a street bike. While all the waiting has been done, some moto journalist just couldnt wait any longer has come up with their own versions of what the FZ8 just might look like. Of course it is going to be a in line four, for one and most definitely liquid cooled. The journos have given the bike a mode edate look than the existing series. Where the FZ8 really stands is difficult to say as they have the 600cc and the litre bike. This 800cc bike is probably looking for the crowd who wants a more road bike than a street racer and also that could be used for touring and clearly as the Motarrad website mentions will take on the Aprilia Shiver 750, BMW F 800 R, Triumph Street Triple and the likes. The site also mentions that the FZ6 will be phased out by coming March. The photos here will remind you of the FZ1 for sure. especially the frame, the tail section and tank while the second photo from Motorevue has gone a step further is colouring the bike and giving it a R6 like tail section. They have imagined the bike in purple colour decoration with white superstructure somehwat similar to the R1 which means they expect a more sportier bike.

Well, we have to wait for some time more before we know what actually comes out. Keep updated with the Yamaha Motor Europe website.

And here is the DUCATI Vyper which till now is just a scoop. News has been making the rounds since early March this year of a possible Ducati Cruiser touted as a V-Rod and V-Max killer and Ducati trading into the cruiser category which sources say Ducati boss Claudio Domenicali has revealed the company is looking to branch out into a wider market. Motociclismo were the first to post the scoop pictures and then Motorevue revealed a clay model which matches the scoop pictures. Later the news appeared in Ducati News Today which does give the scoop more weightage. Ducati has neither confirmed nor denied the news. All in all it has been some time and probably Ducati being Ducati wants to give a cruiser which will be worthy of the brand name and not repeat the Ducati Indiana fiasco (of sorts).

Sources say the bike is already in running form and has started preliminary tests at the Bologna factory and the proposed displacement will be 1400cc which will make it the biggest Ducati. The engine is speculated to feature a stroked version of the company’s Testastretta engine in a V-configuration. The liquid-cooled engine is said to put out in the range of 170 hp. It will feature Ducati’s signature steel trellis frame and its tank and tail section will be angular and aggressive, similar to the styling on the Streetfighter. The Vyper has a meaty 240mm tyre on the rear mounted to an aluminum swingarm with dual exhausts running along the lower right side and by the looks of it this power cruiser looks like its got a low slung seat and raked forks, a true cruiser styling. Could this be something similar to the DUCATI D66, the custom chopper from Luca Bar of Italy? Well, 2010 has a few surprises up its sleeve.

The flexible Piaggio X7 300 Evo is a bit of a sly discount – it’s power by the same fantastic 278cc engine as the Vespa GTS 300 (since the Piaggio Collection has Vespa) but its £300 less costly. Not everyone will be willing to give up the Vespa design and emblem, but for anyone on a funds it’s a less costly way to get your palms on one of the best scooter applications about.


With an 80mph+ top rate and 70mpg, this little website is a apple. It does not experience quite as nippy in the X7 as it does in the Vespa GTS 300 – maybe because the X7 is a few kilos large – but it’s still stonking in area with enough top end to create it functional out of the location too.

Since the Piaggio Collection has Vespa, Derbi, Gilera and Aprilia (and in addition Talkabout Guzzi), they know a factor or two about creating child scooters. Unique 2 season guarantee too. Most child scooters get used and misused intensely, but if you look after it the X7 Evo should get you to and from operate for years to come. 

 

The X7 Evo gives the feeling that it was created for comfort and ease and steadiness - you have a big well-padded hold which is a cure for pillions and a lot of leg place, plus a large display that aids to keep the elements off and can create the X7 sensible for range operate. It has an ever so a little top large experience to it, but overall the managing is secure and created.


£3,599 is £300 less costly than the GTS300 which functions the same website - it’s a lot less attractive, but more functional.
