V-Twin VS 4 In-Line

           Ah, the good old engine debate. Ask any motorcycle rider what kind of engine they think is best and you will get some surprisingly heated opinions. Our cruiser riding brethren will of course talk up the virtues of v-twins and their torque, while sportbike riders might be somewhat divided between inline fours and v-twins. Single cylinder engines (“thumpers”) are usually reserved for dirt and off-road bikes, but one of the better beginner sportbikes happens to use one – the sharp looking Honda CBR250R. Engine type should not be taken lightly when choosing a first motorcycle and I’ll try to make some sense of the differences here.



V-Twin or Parallel Twin

(The picture of V-Twin engine)

            A v-twin is a two cylinder engine with the cylinders arranged in the shape of a V; you’ve no doubt seen this engine configuration when looking at cruisers. Ducati famously uses a 90-degree twin cylinder engine that looks more like an L, though most people still refer to it as a v-twin. There are smaller sportbikes like the excellent Kawasaki Ninja 250R which use a parallel twin, where the cylinders are configured side-by-side.

          BMW offers an opposed twin sometimes called a “flat” or “boxer” engine in some of its motorcycles, where the cylinders sit flat on their sides and 180 degrees opposite each other (I happen to find it weird and impractical to have the cylinder heads sticking straight out the sides of the engine on a motorcycle, but that’s my opinion).

Four Inline

(Four in-line Engine system)

       An inline 4 cylinder engine has all four cylinders sitting next to each other in a nice neat row. Most sport and race bikes use this configuration, though you may see an occasional V-4 such as the one in use by Honda CBR 1000RR, the Aprilia RSV4 and the Yamaha R1.

Yamaha R1M VS Kawasaki H2R

 

      2015. In the early year, born two super powerful super bike. The Kawasaki H2R and the rival, Yamaha R1M. Both are 1000 cc of engine displacement, and both claims the best for ride and speed. But what say you? The 300 horsepower supercharged Kawasaki H2R, or the street legal Moto GP super bike? I just give you the information, but you do the maths.

Claimed to be the world to be fastest super bike, Kawasaki H2R

            Alright, let's us start with Kawasaki H2R. Kawasaki H2R is a Supercharged Supersport Motorcycle thath manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries> Kawasaki H2R featuring a variable speed centrifugal-type supercharger. With 300 horse power, Kawasaki H2R claimed manage to goes at least 400-420 kph, theoretically. It means more power produced than her nearest rival, Suzuki Hayabusa which is only can go around 312-321 kph.

          In 2015, a new Kawasaki H2 produced, for street legal.Same with Kawasaki H2R, both motorcycle shares the same supercharge, but with lowest boost level for H2. By only has 200 kph, the price of Kawasaki H2 in Malaysia is around RM 300,000.00. Which is the most expensive superbike in this country.

The best bike for fastest cornering, the Yamaha R1M

           Alright! Now let's move to Yamaha R1M. Yamaha is the Moto GP super bike that built for street legal.  New generation of R1 was announced on 3 November 2014. Yamaha claims power of over 200 horse power and numerous new electronic rider aids.

         For the first time, a second higher-specification model will also be produced dedicated to the track called the R1M. The R1M will be limited in a number of 500, and it will be differentiated from the standard model by having more expensive components such as carbon fibre fairing parts, an aluminium fuel tank, magnesium sump, tappet and two side covers help keep the weight down, lighter weight wheels are also fitted.

       Increased electronic package, which includes self adjusting Ohlins suspension at both ends, and built-in GPS data logging, variable race style traction control. Engine changes include shortened bore to stroke ratio, and for the first time on a registerable bike, fracture split titanium conrods are included

     The left one is Yamaha R1m, and the right one is Kawasaki Ninja H2R. Yup, to me the Kawasaki Ninja H2R is way more big. And of course way more speed. But me personally, I like Yamaha R1, but not Yamaha R1M. If in this case  I will go for Kawasaki H2R. 

    So we know that Kawasaki Ninja H2 already in Malaysia but not Yamaha R1M, too bad, since it is limited production (500 units available only) so I guess we only can see the H2 roaming on our street. AStart checking the mudah.my. Ok guys. That's all for today. Thanks for reading. Oh, as usual here I left you a girl with Kawasaki Ninja.

DAMN..... Hahahaha
