Free software upgrade and app for Indian

Indian Motorcycle has one of the best audio and infotainment systems on a motorcycle and it has just got better with a free software upgrade and phone app.

The new software will allow riders to plan their trip on their desktop computer with up to 100 waypoints then send it remotely to their bike’s infotainment system.

It will also allow riders to share their planned or completed rides on Facebook.

The app can be downloaded for free in the Apple Store and Google Play.

Ride Command is available on the current and 2019 Chieftain and Roadmaster models. It will also be available on the FTR 1200 S when it is released next year.

New models will come with the software upgrade already installed.

Software upgrade

Owners can update their current system at their local dealership or by downloading the software to a USB drive at the Ride Command Page then plugging into their bike’s system.Indian ride command software upgrade

The page also acts as a platform for riders to plan and share rides. Currently it is an American page, but Indian Motorcycle Australia spokesman Chris Gale says they are working on developing the app and website for Aussie riders.

“The new app has been developed in North America and some of the website/app information and functionality is only available in that region,” web says.

“We are working to localise the app for the Australian market.” 

Meanwhile, Australian riders can still use the app to download software updates, plan and track rides then download them onto their Indian Motorcycle.

Owners can also upgrade their Ride Command system by downloading the free 2018 map updates on the Ride Command Page or at their dealer.

Ride Command system

Indian’s Ride Command system has a 7-inch touchscreen that is glove sensitive. We’ve tested it with thick winter gloves and it works perfectly, including the pinch-and-pull motion to zoom in and out like on a smartphone.

The system has a split screen so you can display a host of different information art the same time, or you can toggle through screens that show navigation, vehicle data, audio entertainment and phone call information.

Vehicle data includes fuel, oil, tyre pressure, battery charge and service reminders. American riders using the app can also now log their maintenance. The app has not yet been adapted for Australian use.

Does BMW R18 hint at a 1.8-litre Boxer?

This wild Japanese custom BMW R18 seems to hint that the normally conservative Bavarian company may be considering a 1.8-litre boxer engine.

BMW has a history of handing over custom builds to outside design houses that eventually turn into production models.

A prominent example is the R nineT which started as the Concept Ninety by Roland Sands Designs in LA.

BMW Concept Ninety Roland Sands Designs customised r18
RSD Concept Ninety

This time, BMW has handed over an unidentified boxer pushrod engine to Custom Works Zon of Japan who built an entire bike around it.

R18 customBMW R18 custom concept

The fact that it is called an R18 seems to indicate that it may be a 1.8-litre boxer unit.

Unlike the new R 1250 ShiftCam models, it doesn’t have liquid cooling, but oil and air-cooled heads.

BMW says: “Further details about the engine and its possible future use will be communicated at a later point in time.”

The custom R18 project is pretty wild and we don’t expect BMW to produce a bike with such a small tank to go with a 1.8-litre engine.

Other confronting design elements include 21” and 26” wheels, solid aluminium girder forks, steel pipe swingarm or concealed Softail-style suspension.BMW R18 custom concept

Nostalgia

However, the R18 follows the recent equally wild Nmoto Nostalgia based on the R nineT, so maybe BMW is developing some designer mojo.

That would be welcome considering BMW tends to lean toward more conservative designs.

Like the Nmoto, the R18 draws heavily on BMW models from early years.

Retro and nostalgia bikes are big business at the moment. Triumph is having enormous success with its Bonneville dozen-model range, Ducati’s Scrambler has become their top seller, Kawasaki has won hearts with its Z900RS and BMW has had enormous success with its R nineT.

Suzuki says bye-bye Busa

Suzuki has confirmed its barnstorming GSX1300R Hayabusa – or Busa to its legion of fans – will cease production this month as its engine no longer meets tough European emissions regulations.

The first production bike to reach 200mph (321km/h) was given the Japanese name for the peregrine falcon which is the world’s fastest bird at 200mph.

It was introduced in 1999 and a year later, Japanese and European motorcycle manufacturers agreed to impose a 300km/h limit on bikes to avoid a legislative ban on hyperbike speeds.Suzuki Hayabusa sportsbike fuel economy busa

There has only been one significant update in 2008.

Although the emissions regulations that will end its illustrious career were introduced in January 2016, existing motorcycles had a grace period that ends on December 31.

Since most of the world now adopts the European emissions standards, Suzuki has decided to pull production.

In Australia, the final model is selling at $19,490 with free on-road costs.

It should become a collector’s item.

Busa revival?

There was hope that the bike would get a new lease of life with an upgraded engine and even turbocharging.

Instead, Suzuki has relaunched the revered Katana, powered by a long-stroke version of the fuel-injected 999cc inline-four engine from the GSX-R1000.

It produces 110kW at 10,000rpm and 108Nm of torque at 9500rpm.

That’s still a l;long way short of the Hayabusa. It originally had 129kW of power from its 1299cc four-cylinder engine but in its final guise produced 145kW.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Motorcycles Australia is taking deposits of $1000 on the 2019 Suzuki Katana.

They will be available in “limited numbers” and in two colour choices. Final pricing has not yet been revealed.

BMW’s 2019 midsize adventurer prices

BMW Motorrad Australia has announced 2019 prices for its new midsize adventure bikes with a bigger 853cc parallel twin engine.

The extra power, engine capacity and new hi-tech features of the new F 850 GS and F 750 GS will obviously cost customers more.

The F 700 GS is now the F 750 GS, which will cost an extra $700, while the F800 GS goes from $16,490 to $17,990 for the F 850 GS.

BMW Motorrad Australia now offers a three-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty on all new models.

The warranty period also includes comprehensive roadside assistance, available 24/7 every single day of the year.

BMW says the F 750 GS is “designed for all riders” with a low seat height and “all-round qualities”. It features mag wheels with a 19-inch front.

However, the F 850 GS not only has more power and torque, but BMW says it has more touring and off-road features. They include wire wheels and a 21-inch front.

New F 850 GS and F 750 GS engine

BMW says the engine has a 90-degree crankshaft and a 270/450-degree firing interval with two counterbalance shafts to smooth it out.

A self-amplifying, anti-hopping clutch provides a lighter lever feel and the drop in engine drag torque prevents wheel lock-ups on downshifts.

The six-speed gearbox with secondary drive is now positioned on the left.

Rider aids include  ‘Rain’ and ‘Road’ riding modes, ABS and automatic stability control ensures a high level of safety.

The F 750 GS and F 850 GS can be fitted ex-works optional equipment such as Pro riding modes, dynamic traction control and banking-capable ABS Pro.

New midsize frame

The bridge frame of the new F models is made of deep-drawn, welded components and integrates the engine as a co-supporting element.

BMW claims this improves torsional rigidity and “robustness”.

The fuel tank is back in the traditional position for improved centre of gravity.2018 BMW F 750 GS and F 850 GS midsize

The F 850 GS adds a Rallye style variant with emphasis on off-road capabilities.

There is also a range of optional equipment including different seat heights, windshields, full LED headlight, Connectivity equipment with TFT display, Keyless Ride, Gear shift assistant Pro, Dynamic ESA and eCall.2018 BMW F 750 GS and F 850 GS midsize

More powerBMW R 1250 GS and RT

The new 1254cc boxer engines, up from 1170cc, now feature BMW ShiftCam Technology which is a type of variable valve timing similar to the systems used by Ducati and Honda.

These systems, which have been used in cars for years, not only boost power, but also reduce emission and improve fuel economy.

BMW claims it also makes the bikes more refined and smoother, especially in lower rev ranges.

Bore and stroke is 102.5 to 76mm (previously 101 to 73mm) with output of 100kW (136hp) at 7750rpm and 143Nm off torque at 6250rpm (previously 92kW (125hp) at 7750 rpm and 125Nm at 6500 rpm).

The new boxer engine offers 14% more torque and 9% more output.BMW R 1250 GS and RT

BMW ShiftCam Technology enables variation of the valve timings and valve stroke on the intake side. The intake camshafts are also designed for asynchronous opening of the two intake valves, resulting in “enhanced swirl of the fresh, incoming mixture and therefore more effective combustion”.

The camshaft drive is run by a toothed chain (previously a roller chain), optimised oil supply, twin-jet injection valves and a new exhaust system.

They now have two knock sensors to allow fuels with a rating of less than RON 95.

Gearbox and clutch are integrated into the new engine housing to reduce weight and save, and increase torsional response.

Power transmission to the six-speed gearbox, which has been further optimised in terms of gear shifting, is via a multi-plate wet clutch with eight friction discs. The clutch system is fitted with an anti-hopping mechanism.

Triumph Speed Twin a poor-man’s Thruxton

Triumph has unveiled their Speed Twin which is a poor-man’s Thruxton with the same engine tuning, but not quite the braking or handling spec of the sporty Thruxton R.

It also doesn’t have the dropped bars, but a more relaxed riding position like the T120.

Unlike the spy shots we saw last month, the Speed Twin comes with Kayaba conventional forks and shocks, not upside down forks and Ohlins piggyback suspension.Triumph Speed Twin a poor-man's Thruxton

Triumph Motorcycles Australia say the bikes will arrive in January/February with pricing closer to the release date.

We suspect they will retail for about $18,000 which is more than the T120 at $17,200.Triumph Speed Twin a poor-man's Thruxton

However, it should be under the Thruxton at $18,700 and well under the Ohlins-clad Thruxton R at $21,100.

The Speed Twin is basically a dual-seat Thruxton with straight bars, brushed metal and black dual exhausts, and seven-spoke mag wheels instead of wired-wheels.

It will come in three colour options: Silver Ice/Storm Grey, Korosi Red/Storm Grey, and Jet Black.

 

The unveiling of the Speed Twin lifts the number of 900 and 1200 Bonneville models to 12.

It follows the recent release of the Scrambler 1200 in XC and XE versions, T120 Ace and Diamond and updates to the Street Twin and Street Scrambler.

Wild nostalgia version of BMW R nineT

Would you believe this wild nostalgia custom motorcycle started life as the BMW R nineT and that you can buy actually buy one?

The R nineT is the Bavarian company’s most customisable production bike, but this Nmoto Nostalgia machine has to be the wildest custom version yet.

The Florida custom motorcycle company plans to sell the handmade custom bike for $US49,500 (about $A67,700) on a limited-run basis.

That compares with the standard production R nineT which sells in the States for $US12,995 and $22,49 in Australia.

Nmoto say it will take up to six months to make each Nostalgia to meet customers’ exact specifications.

Inspired Nostalgia

It is inspired by the legendary “unicorn” BMW R7 – the 1934 one-off prototype considered by many to be the Mona Lisa of motorcycles.

BMW R7 nostalgia

Nmoto founder Alexander Niznik says the Nostalgia consists of more than 96 handcrafted parts.

“It offers all the style of the original vintage model with all the peace-of-mind of the new model,” says .

Nmoto Nostalgia BMW R nineT
BMW R nineT and Nmoto Nostalgia

“It’s the perfect combination that makes a statement unlike anything else on the road.”

While it is based on the R Nine T with a 1170cc boxer engine with 81kW of power (110hp) and 86Nm of torque, Nmoto claim it is lighter and will top out at 225km/h.

Peak power and torque remain the same and they don’t say what they have done to make it 25km/h faster than the production model.Nmoto Nostalgia BMW R nineT

However, the power-to-weight ratio will be improved as it now weighs 205kg instead of 220kg. 

Even though it looks like it came from pre-WWII Bavaria, the Nmoto Nostalgia has a modern six-speed gearbox, traction control, anti-lock braking system and keyless ignition.Nmoto Nostalgia BMW R nineT

Unlike the original, it also features front and rear suspension!

The modern ignition lock and speedometer have been cleverly incorporated into the headlamp housing for that true nostalgia effect. 

It comes in 11 colour combinations, with customisation options that include adjustable steering, seat trim finish, luggage box and passenger seat.Nmoto Nostalgia BMW R nineT

Harley-Davidson’s First Electric Motorcycle Coming

Contributed post

Harley-Davidson recently unveiled its first ever electric motorcycle during the EICMA (Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori) or otherwise known as the Milan Motorcycle Show. This event was held from November 8 to November 11 and it was here where motorcycle manufacturers, whether they be giants in the industry or ambitious startups, show off their best and upcoming electric motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, and mopeds.

However, like anyone who knows how to play the game well, Harley-Davidson did not show their cards during the event. Despite showing off their upcoming electric motorcycle, they kept mum about important specs such as the motorcycle’s effective range, speed, and charging rate.

What Was Its Prototype?

Harley Davidson LiveWire electric motorcycle
Harley Davidson LiveWire prototype

The electric motorcycle was based on a prototype codenamed “LiveWire”, which was first put on public display in June 2014. The electric motorcycle was then commented on by a Fox Sports reporter as being “the most radical departure in the 111-year history of the brand.”

And it was rightfully said to be so, as the general public have always known Harley-Davidson for its loud, heavy and, of course, expensive motorcycles. The LiveWire prototype looks far sportier and more futuristic than any other Harley-Davidson motorcycle before it and this is a valiant attempt at attracting a wider customer base.

What Exactly Is The New Harley-Davidson Electric Motorcycle?

Electric Harley-Davidson LiveWire leads parade smart desert charging
LiveWire unveiled in Milwaukee

The motorcycle company’s first ever electric motorcycle is going to retain its prototype’s codename, but that’s about where the similarities end. The final retail product looks much more refined than its prototype (which was already in itself a futuristic-looking motorcycle relative to most Harleys).

While Harley-Davidson have yet to reveal the technical specifications of LiveWire, we can at least get a point of reference from the prototype. The LiveWire prototype could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds. As far as effective range goes, it was capable of traveling up to around 55 miles. Though, it’s important to note that this result is under the presumption that the electric motorcycle is in “economy mode”.

What Makes This Electric Bike A Harley?

Despite the overhauled aesthetics and functional design, the LiveWire still stays true to tradition where it truly matters most. And no, I’m not talking about the hefty price tag that comes with every Harley bike. There isn’t even an official price for this electric motorcycle.

I’m referring to the loudness of the motorcycle. Because, well, if it isn’t loud and shiny, it’s probably not a Harley. The LiveWire is built uniquely so that its drivetrain creates a whirring sound, something that sounds like a jet turbine.

And that, my friends, is where the LiveWire stays true to Harley-Davidson tradition.

LiveWire is being released next year around the world will arrive in Australia and New Zealand in late 2020.

As you can already tell, the market is shifting. Newer models are being built with the environment in mind. And that’s a good thing. The one thing, however, that will never change, is the fact that no matter how fancy your vehicle gets, the responsibility that comes with owning and riding a vehicle will never be replaced.

Always adhere to traffic rules. And even if you do, there are many cases where it might be someone else who causes an accident. Luckily, a seasoned motorcycle and car accident attorney is not difficult to find.

Kawasaki adds W800 Café and Z400

Kawasaki Motors Australia has confirmed the new W800 Café and Z400 (above) will be added to their 2019 line-up along with updated models such as the new Versys 1000 SE.

Spokesman Murray Sayle says they don’t have pricing or full specifications yet for the retro W800 Café yet as production is not until mid-2019.

“Our company policy is we don’t release the retail pricing until the new model is released as it may change due to circumstance outside our control in the days before release,” he says.

“Kawasaki new models for 2019 will start arriving in late 2018 and the first quarter of next year with the W800 Café being late second quarter.

“Production schedules are subject to change. We only know arrivals after a product has been produced and is showing on boat on our systems. Other factors include stock control of how we manage 2018 stock with 2019 stock arriving.” 

Kawasaki is currently running a “$1500 bonus” campaign on all 2018 Ninja ZX-10R models.

W800

The W800 continues as an SE model and the company adds the W800 cafe with a bubble fairing, a hump-backed seat and clip-on bars next year.

Despite speculation the W800 would be scraped because of tougher Euro4 emissions laws, the engineers have managed to lean down the air-cooled 773cc engine without resorting to liquid cooling.

Kawasaki says the engine is 90% new, yet it retains the bevel-drive camshaft.

And for the first time it gets a disc brake on the rear and modern LED lighting, yet it manages to retain its beautiful heritage looks.

It will be available in a range of colours.

Z400Kawasaki Z400

The Z400 replaces the Z300 ($5999) just as the Ninja 400 replaced the Ninja 300.

Its 399cc parallel-twin engine has 35kW of power compared with 29.4kW in the Z300 while torque remains the same at 38Nm.

Despite the capacity and power bump, it actually weighs 1kg less at 167kg.

The Z400 features an assist-and-slipper clutch, bigger 41mm forks, a 310mm front brake disc and a 767mm seat which is 25mm lower than the Z300.

It has the same analog tachometer/LCD display as the Ninja 650 with a gear indicator.

For 2019, the Versys 1000 gets Ninja-inspired headlights and integrated daytime running lights and indicators.

The Z1000-powered bike comes with up/down quickshifter and Bluetooth integration.

In top-spec SE form, it comes with semi-active suspension as in the Ninja ZX-10R, coloured TFT instruments, cornering lights, heated grips and self-healing paint from the H2.2019 Kawasaki Versys 1000

Triumph teases 2019 Speed Twin

This teaser video shows glimpses of the 2019 Triumph Speed Twin which was expected to be unveiled at the recent European motorcycle shows but will be launched on December 4.

The video only shows dark and blurry images and some very short glimpses of the 1200cc bike in silhouette.

While the Street Twin ($13,700) is the cheapest version of the 900cc range, the Speed Twin may not be the cheapest version of the 1200 range.

In spy shots, we have seen it fitted with expensive Ohlins suspension.

Speed Twin spy shot

However, in the video it seems to have more budget-conscious gaitered conventional forks and non-piggyback shocks.

Other features we can see include low-profile mirrors, twin instrument pods, straight bench seat, straight bars, a chopped front fender and seven-spoke mag wheels.Triumph Speed Twin

It is difficult to see whether it has dual brake discs as in the spy shots, but we would expect so.

Perhaps, like the recently launched Scrambler 1200 in XC and XE versions, the Speed Twin will come in two version.

The top-spec variant could have Ohlins and other juicy gear.

There is no word yet on when it will arrive in Australia or pricing.

Current Bonneville 1200 prices range from the T120 at $17,200 to the Thruxton 1200 R at $21,100.
