Like the MT-10 SP, the XSR 900 is quick, enjoyable, and filled with options. This three-cylinder cafe bike, nevertheless, is a wolf in sheep’s clothes. The XSR 900 is powered by a three-cylinder, 890cc engine that produces 106 horsepower – a determine that appears low by R1 and MT-10 requirements, however it’s no slouch. Even with probably the most aggressive traction and throttle controls turned on, the XSR 900 needs to get the entrance wheel off the bottom. It’s a playful, aggressive, and critically fun-to-ride bike, however it requires warning and talent to trip safely within the metropolis. The adjustable rider aids assist issues out a bit, ensuring you are not a hooligan 100% of the time, however just some severe self-discipline with the throttle will maintain you out of hassle.
If it is cafe-racer model that you just’re searching for, however you do not want all of the grunt of the XSR 900, think about the smaller and cheaper XSR 700. The XSR 900 has a beginning value of $10,299 (plus vacation spot), whereas the XSR 700 is $8,899 (plus vacation spot). The XSR 700 has comparable styling, however it is not as aggressive, and it may possibly nonetheless be modified with Yamaha accessories to assist it slot in on the native cafe bike evening.
Barn finds are available in all styles and sizes, starting from automobiles packed in a shed to a single particular car sitting forgotten in a discipline. This one is especially bizarre, although. It’s a one-off three wheeler that makes use of a Citroën 2CV engine to energy the entrance wheels. And it hasn’t run in 25 years.
If you are unfamiliar with the Citroën 2CV, consider it just like the Volkswagen Beetle of France. Following World War II, it was the individuals’s automotive of selection, offering fundamental transportation on tough roads for an inexpensive value. Power got here from a flat-twin engine driving the entrance wheels. Production ran from 1948 by 1990, with hundreds of thousands of items offered.
This car will not be a normal 2CV, although. It takes the Citroën working gear and crafts a sporty physique round it. The consequence appears to be like like a French tackle the basic Morgan Three-Wheeler, together with some wooden parts of the body below the metallic physique.
The physique seems to be from hand-formed items of metallic, with some very fundamental leather-based upholstery within the cabin. There are additionally Brooklands-style windshield items with no bezel that manually flip up.
The host of the video makes an attempt to get this automotive working once more regardless of the decrepit situation. Thankfully, the 2CV’s engine is about so simple as issues get. The powerplant does not need to run at first, nevertheless it does flip over, which is an effective signal. This mill has factors for the ignition, so this man simply cleans them off with sandpaper.
Finally, spraying some beginning fluid into the carb will get the engine going. It runs tough at first however ultimately settles right into a clean idle. Sadly, we do not really get to see this bizarre machine on the transfer. Even with the engine working, we do not know the transmission’s well being, nor do we all know what else is critical to place this weird machine on the street once more.
Anyone who owns a mission automotive understands that each little step is a hit. Getting the engine working is a giant step. Making the transmission work can also be important progress. Working brakes are a victory. We cannot wait to see this weird machine working once more.
At the EICMA this year, Honda showcased a range of new models, including the CB1000 Hornet, CB650R, CBR650R, CBR500R, Africa Twin 2024, updated Fireblade and Fireblade SP, and the new NX500 (previously known as the CB500X).
However, one particular showcase that caught attention is the Honda SC e: Concept. This is Honda’s second scooter for the European market, following the EM1 e:. The SC e: Concept is sleek and modern, bearing resemblance to the PCX 160 but with an electric powertrain.
The SC e: Concept, powered by Honda’s Mobile Power Pack e: batteries, shares similarities with the EM1 e:, but features a horizontal headlight and a different passenger footwell. It promises greater driving range, aligned with Honda’s commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. The final version is set to be unveiled by 2025, and it is intended to be used by motorcyclists with the A1 license restriction in Europe.
The 2023 SEMA Show is packed with custom cars and prototypes from automakers that you can’t buy, unless you want to get individual parts and make your own. Toyota has some of that with concepts like the new X-Runner and FJ Bruiser, but there’s also a truck you can buy straight from the automaker. Say hello to the 2024 Tundra equipped with an optional TRD Performance Package.
What does one get with this $3,400 option? Toyota adds special TRD badging, a snazzy exhaust tip, and 32 extra horses under the hood. That’s accomplished mechanically with upgraded dual intakes and a new exhaust, both of which provide better airflow. A new engine tune optimizes the changes, though you’ll need to run premium fuel as a result. Toyota also tweaks the throttle for “a sporty and powerful driving feel.”
The result is 421 horsepower using the standard twin-turbocharged 3.4-liter i-Force engine. Torque remains the same at 479 pound-feet, but peak twist hits 400 RPM sooner. The i-Force Max engine rises to 469 hp, a notable figure as it surpasses all trucks in the US save for the bonkers Ram 1500 TRX and Ford F-150 Raptor R. And it’s not a dealer-installed setup – Toyota offers it from the factory with a full standard vehicle warranty.
“We wanted to build on the excitement of the new Tundra platform and the twin-turbo engine – which already makes monster horsepower and torque – to develop this performance package,” said Jakin Wilson, senior engineering manager for Toyota Motor North America.
