Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/kawasaki-push-the-limit First up is the sharp new look and Face of the iconic model. An aggressive front end with new headlamps and of course the most obvious change, the new aero package. Setting the wings angle of attack, Kawasaki engineers worked tirelessly in both the wind tunnel and on the test track to achieve the optimal balance of downforce and drag. The new aero increases downforce by approx. 25%. The latest Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R combines a Euro5+ powerful, responsive engine performance with refined control designed for maximum track efficiency. Chassis and Suspension components derived from WorldSBK racing - the Balance Free Front Fork (BFF) and Balance Free Rear Cushion lite (BFRC lite) - provide precise handling, smooth front-rear weight transfer, and light, agile maneuverability. Revised chassis geometry with new rear pivot and link are tuned to complement the new aerodynamic package, enhances rear-wheel traction and cornering stability. Completing the package, high-spec Brembo M50 monobloc calipers, large 330mm discs, and a radial-pump master cylinder deliver next-level braking performance and control. In the cockpit, a larger 5 all-digital TFT colour meter creates a high-tech, high-grade appearance and offers additional features unavailable on the previous model, while the Rideology App allows the rider to link their machine via wireless connection to their Smartphone. Turn by Turn navigation is also a new feature for 2026 showing just how practical Ninja ZX-10R ownership is, while Voice Command technology makes its debut. Moving to the next level, the track-focused Ninja ZX-10RR for 2026 continues to feature Pankl connecting rods and pistons plus braided front brake hoses. Adjustable hlins steering damper with twin-tube design is fitted as standard equipment to both the ZX-10RR and ZX-10R.

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-r7-refined SUPERSPORT PERFORMANCE REFINED: THE NEW YAMAHA R7 Yamaha's popular middleweight Supersport R7 elevated to new heights for 2026 to offer a more refined, confidence inspiring riding experience R1-developed 6-axis IMU enables the introduction of a comprehensive suite of electronic rider aids and YRC riding modes Chassis modifications make for a more refined, dynamic handling experience Revised rider position improves comfort and responsiveness Sleek and aerodynamic next Generation R-Series design ADVANCED ELECTRONICS ADD CONFIDENCE AND MAXIMISE PERFORMANCE YAMAHA CHIP CONTROLLED THROTTLE (Y-CCT) The R7 now features Yamahas innovative Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCCT), which detects a riders throttle inputs with the ECU instantly calculating the ideal degree of throttle opening to match. This results in a smoother torque curve through the entire rev range and offers a more linear feel from the now iconic 689cc CP2 liquid-cooled, two-cylinder engine. Additionally, the introduction of YCC-T opens a whole new world for the R7 in terms of electronics, with rider modes and electronic aids introduced, following in the footsteps of the R9 allowing riders to exploit the package to the maximum and feel the thrill of the ride. CUSTOMISABLE RIDING MODES WITH YAMAHA RIDE CONTROL Following the R1 and R9, the R7 will feature Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) which allows riders to select the engine power characteristics and degree from electronic aids based on personal preference or riding conditions. Three preset riding modes include SPORT, STREET and RAIN, featuring factory settings to suit different conditions, are complemented by the option to create two Custom settings, which enable the rider to manually select their own desired settings via Yamaha's MyRide app Anniversary White 9,700OTR Icon Blue 9,500 OTR Midnight Black 9,500 OTR THIRD-GENERATION QUICKSHIFTER AND IMPROVED SHIFTING For slicker, smoother and more sporty gear changes, the number of engagement teeth for the male and female dog gears has been increased from five to six for first through to third gear. The angle of the dog gears has also been modified for fourth to sixth, reducing the effect on the bikes behaviour when the throttle is opened and closed, resulting in smoother gearshifts. The overall shifting experience is further enhanced with the introduction of Yamahas third-generation Quick Shift System (QSS), enabling clutchless up and down shifts through to different settings, with Setting 1 allowing clutchless upshifts while accelerating and clutchless downshifts while decelerating, and Setting 2 permitting downshifts while accelerating and upshifts while decelerating to suit a wider range of both road and track scenarios. MORE REFINED AND AGILE HANDLING MORE RIGID AND AGILE CHASSIS In search of improved rigidity to increase stability, almost every element of the R7s frame has been changed and optimised, including the pipe layout, diameter, thickness and reinforcement. The result is that the torsional, longitudinal and lateral rigidity have all been improved while maintaining the same weight as the previous frame. To accommodate the increased rigidity, the centre brace now uses steel plates with plastic covers to achieve excellent stability when riding, while the bike's response to steering inputs and feedback from the tyres have been optimised. The swingarm has also been re-designed to offer clearer feedback from the road. For the first time, the R7 will adopt Yamaha's SpinForged wheels, not only significantly reducing weight but also inertia at the wheels, allowing for lighter and more agile handling. The SpinForged wheels are fitted with Bridgestone's Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres, offering a higher level of grip. 5" TFT DISPLAY, CONNECTIVITY AND INTUITIVE CONTROLS 5-INCH TFT DISPLAY A 5-inch full colour TFT instrument display adds to the premium feel with four selectable themes for display. DEDICATED TRACK MODE In addition to the four road-oriented themes, a Track Mode displays only the relevant information on the dash focusing on the lap-timer, for a true 'race-style' dash-layout. KEY TECHNICAL FEATURES 689cc CP2, liquid cooled, DOHC, 4-valve inline two-cylinder engine More rigid and more agile chassis Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) R1-developed 6-axis IMU Lean sensitive rider aids including Traction Control (TCS), Slide Control (SCS), Brake Control (BC) Power Modes (PWR), Launch Control (LC) and Lift Control (LIF) Third Generation Quick Shift System (QSS) Engine Brake Management (EBM) and Back Slip Regulator (BSR) Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) with customisable settings Rear ABS off mode Next Generation R-Series design 5-inch full colour TFT display with connectivity features Log and analyse riding data with Y-TRAC Rev Cruise control and speed limiter SpinForged wheels fitted with Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres Refined, fully adjustable front and rear suspension Revised riding position for enhanced comfort and movement CRUISE CONTROL AND SPEED LIMITER For added convenience, especially over longer distance rides, the R7 is fitted with a cruise control system which can be activated when riding at speeds of 40km/h and above in third gear and higher. After the cruise speed is set, it can be increased or decreased in increments of 1km/h with single pushes of the switch or continuously by holding down the switch. The cruise control system is cancelled when the rider selects the cancel button or hits the brake, clutch or throttle. A speed limit can also be set for the machine, controlling engine output to ensure the motorcycle does not exceed the selected speed. Tue, 04 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/gsx-s1000gx-2026-update Suzuki has also announced updates to the GSX-S1000GX+. The ultimate sports crossovermodel, revealed at EICMA only two years ago, has received a round of subtle updates to furtherimprove its performance as a motorcycle adept at both covering long distances in speed andcomfort, as well as offering up sporting intentions when the rider wants to enjoy a moretwisty, winding route. A suite of changes includes the addition of new winglets to the GXs fairing, improvingdownforce and enhancing stability at high speeds. Modifications to the mirror mountings reduce vibrations for clearer rearward visibility. The GSX-S1000GX puts out 152PS and 106Nm of torque from its 999cc inline four-cylinderengine. A twin-spar aluminium frame and GSX-R-derived swingarm is suspended by semi-active electronic suspension from Showa.

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/vip-yamaha-tracer-rideout-23082025 Saturday 23 August weather was forecast as 21c, and NO RAIN!!! Perfect! This was the date identified for the Yamaha VIP Tracer Rideout. And nature was on our side. The idea was to say thank you to some of our Yamaha Tracer ownersand takethem out on a VIP rideout including food stopson 5-Ways. The selectedcustomers had purchased aYamaha Tracer 9 or7 from us in the last year and answered our invite to participate. Chris Hood our rideout expert was all set to get them on a great route through the East Riding and Yorkshire Wolds, enjoying breakfast and lunch, and a chance to chat about their Tracer experience and compare notes! A new model Tracer 9 would lead the ride and again, the owners could have a good look at how it compared with their models or the Tracer 7s Lots of ringing Tracer owners revealed many to be busy or on summer holidays, but during the week we got a group sorted and made a plan. The customers that were available for the eventcame down to 5-Ways for the ride-out and met at the store and grabbed a coffee. Meeting at the showroom at 0930, everyone had the chance to look at the new demonstrator Tracer 7, resplendent in Redline colourway. Stunning looking, it has been on demo rides almost daily. Jeff, who owns a 23 reg Tracer 7 refused to sit on it for fear of being drawn in! Moving onto the Tracer 9 GT presented in Ceramic Ice their was some comparisons made by Keith and Pete, both owners of the previous models, and both very happy with their ownership of Icon Performance colour machines. Both agreed that the new machine was well specd and noted the differences suck as the headlight configuration and menu control. Introductions and briefing complete everyone kits up and Chris Hood, leads the VIPs out of the dealership and heads onto the A63 to avoid the Hull traffic (and roadworks!) Giving everyone the chance settle into the ride and get used to one anothers riding style the group peel off at the Melton interchange and head north through Melton Bottom and onto the new roundabout leading to the Rowley Road, then to Little Weighton turning left at the pond and riding to Walkington. From here the next villages were Etton, South Dalton, North Dalton and finally the B1246 to Bainton for breakfast. This was a great chance to chat about the route, the handling of the Tracer 9 & 7 and their performance on the route. Getting back on the bikes and the B1246 is ridden with some passion, all four bikes tackling this fantastic road impeccably. Leaving the road before Pocklington and turning towards Garrowby Hill then taking the back roads to Buttercrambe and Sand Hutton. A kindly SUV owner gives way to get onto the A64, which a few miles and some dual carriageway leads onto Castle Howard. Malton, North Grimston (where have the woods gone?!!) follow and eventually the road through Kirby Grindalaythe, East and West Lutton and then Helperthorpe. Turning out of the village and on to Sherburn provides a massive diversity of roads, from dual carriage of the A64 to main A & B roads and a few goat tracks in between, the Tracer brotherhood takes them all in their stride. Lunch is at Harpers Fish & Chip restaurant at Seamer. Lunch is the Seniors Meal very fitting! Its actually just their name for a smaller portion, but makes the grey headed riders smile amazingly, all still have full(ish) heads of hair! All have a good chat about the pros (many) and cons (very little) of the Tracer series. All agree the Tracer 9 and 7 are brilliant all-round capable machines. The major gripe is the ease, or lack of, getting the Tracer 9 on their centre stand! If thats all there is to complain about it looks like Yamaha have got the series right, and some technique is required by our VIPs! Goodbyes are made and the Yamaha VIP Tracer Rideout is declared a fantastic 140 miles day out from 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre, with the cry of Whens the next one? Sign me up from everyone, including Chris, whose pleasure it was to lead. Thu, 07 Aug 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/2026-kawasaki-z-family-colours Forming part of the very essence of Kawasakis naked segment motorcycle heritage, the Z family of machines is as popular as ever, achieving a global following thanks to its adherence to a fun to ride ethos coupled with Kawasakis landmark engineering and unique contemporary Sugomi styling. Stretching an enviable lineage way back to the Z1 Super Four of the early 1970s, Z speaks to riders on many levels and Kawasakis Z offering for 2026 is as impressive as ever. Five machines with new liveries are now ready to be unveiled and among these are the entry level A2 compliant models, a mid-capacity stalwart plus hard edged yet rider friendly models in the upper capacity classes. Z500 Z500 SE Z650 Z900 Z900 SE Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/gsx-r1000r-returns-for-40th-anniversary Suzuki has announced that the GSX-R1000R will return to the UK. Designed to perform, built to thrill, the GSXR1000R gets an updated engine to meet Euro5+ regulations whilst maintaining high levels of performance output, which includes a new crankshaft, crankcases, pistons, connecting rods, and a higher compression ratio. Theres also a new exhaust, an updated suite of electronics, and race spec carbon fibre winglets that increase downforce at higher speeds. The announcement comes just ahead of the prestigious Suzuka 8-Hour endurance race in Japan, the third round of the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship and a championship the GSX-R1000 has won 15 times since 2001. It also comes as part of this years 40th anniversary celebrations of the GSX-R range, with the GSXR750F changing the world of sports bikes forever in 1985. As a result, the GSX-R1000R will come in a trio of colour schemes inspired by classic GSX-R liveries of the past, and each adorned with a 40th anniversary logo on the fairing, fuel tank, and silencer. Product Information Engine Peak power is 195PS at 13,200rpm, with peak torque 110.0Nm at 11,000rpm. The 1000cc, inline-four cylinder engine uses Suzukis race-developed variable valve timing system. The mechanical system is built into the intake cam sprocket and an adjacent guide plate, boosting high-rpm power without sacrificing midrange and lower-rpm output. It retains an F1 style finger follower valve train, updated and optimised to match the new cam profile. In addition, the exhaust valve diameter is increased to 25mm, plus there are new camshafts and a wider cam chain. Maximum valve lift remains the same, with reduced overlap to help meet emissions targets. Theres a new fuel pump to increase fuel pressure, and changes to the fuel injectors to contribute to cleaner emissions. To help maintain power output, new throttle bodies boast a larger bore at 48mm, while air delivered to the throttle bodies travels through newly designed singlestage funnels, further boosting peak power. New, forged aluminium pistons have short skirts, cutaway sides and a short, DLC-coated wrist pin to reduce friction. The piston heads are reshaped to increase the compression ratio to 13.8:1 and accommodate the size of the increased exhaust valve diameter. The crankshaft adopts a new design with thicker journals, increased to 37mm, designed to accommodate higher loads and withstand higher levels of tune in racing environments, plus new crankcases. As well as being highly attractive and etched with a GSX-R logo, the new exhaust silencer body is more compact, reducing its capacity to 5.5 litres. A larger capacity elliptical catalytic converter in the collector is positioned closer to the engine to facilitate quicker warming, which helps improve its performance. Electronics An updated suite of electronics further enhances performance potential and allows riders to tailor its character to suit their preferences or riding conditions. Armed with six direction IMU, the GSX-R1000R gets an updated traction control system that incorporates Suzukis new Roll Torque Control system and antiwheelie, with 10 modes to choose from plus the ability to disengage entirely. Suzukis Roll Torque Control uses data from the IMU and wheel speed sensors to predetermine what level of power output is optimal. It works in conjunction with traction control to help deliver a sense of stability through the corner. Its benefit is that it works to prevent wheel spin, rather than activate when slip is detected, making for more seamless acceleration and reduced cutting of power and pumping. Theres a ride-by-wire throttle, bi-directional quickshifter, lean angle-sensitive ABS and slope-dependent control and launch control. A new Lithium-ion HY battEliiy P-series starter battery is more compact and lightweight, and is designed with a focus on exceptional reliability, durability, enhanced startability, and an extended lifespan. Headlights, positioning lights, and taillights are full LED. Chassis Comprised of a lightweight twin-spar aluminium frame, subframe, and braced aluminium swingarm. Suspension comes courtesy of Showa, its race developed balance free front forks at the front, and a balance free rear shock at the rear, and theres an electronically controlled steering damper. At the front, brakes are radial Brembo monoblock calipers, biting 320mm discs. At the rear sits a single caliper and 220m disc. Lightweight cast aluminium wheels wear Bridgestone RS11 tyres: 120/70 at the front, 190/55 at the rear. Developed in conjunction with the Suzuki CN Challenge race team, which contested the 2024 Suzuka 8-Hour with an experimental GSX-R1000R, new winglets provide increased downforce at higher speeds, aiding stability and reducing front wheel lift. Produced in Japan, they are made of dry carbon with a hollow structure, and the size and shape of the winglets was developed through a long process of experimental builds and thorough test runs to achieve the optimum lift effect without making handling feel heavy. Styling Three new colour schemes pay homage to timeless GSX-R race liveries, with a fan favourite blue and white take joined by a red and white version and a yellow and matt blue option. Each features a 40th anniversary decal on the fairing and the fuel tank. A retro R logo adorns the bellypan of all three. There are also GSX-R logos on the seat and exhaust silencer, and the magneto and clutch covers are finished in grey. Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/2026-versys-650-colours Equipped with 17 inch wheels for manoeuvrability and agility, the highly durable and equally highly praised, twin-cylinder, water-cooled 649cm3engine remains in place while the styling echoes that of the Versys 1100 (which is the official motorcycle of the Tour de France) offering a similar level of rider aids plus distinctive contemporary looks. From a riding perspective, the easy to read 4.3 TFT meter relays all essential information while offering the possibility to link to the riders Smartphone using Kawasakis unique Rideology App that also includes a voice command function. Offered as standard with KTRC traction control, plus the convenience of all LED lighting, the best way to truly understand the Versys 650 is to ride one and appreciate the all-day comfort seat, ergonomic riding position and generous weather-beating adjustable screen.

The 8T takes styling cues from classic bikes of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the iconic Suzuki T500, while the 8TT builds on that platform further but with inspiration coming from the faired race bikes of the period, such as the legendary Yoshimura GS1000 AMA superbike. Both models use Suzukis 776cc parallel twin engine with its 270 crankshaft design, which gives it unrivalled drive and lowdown power, while double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder enable a free-revving nature. The engine is housed in a twin-spar steel frame with a separate lightweight subframe. An electronics suite comprises traction control, power modes, a bi-directional quickshifter, and colour TFT screen. Both the 8T and 8TT get a new fuel tank, seat, seat unit, and handlebars complete with bar-end mirrors. The 8T adopts a new round headlight with full LED lighting, blending modern technology with classic styling. The 8TT adds a headlight cowling that shares more than a passing resemblance to vintage road race machinery from the 70s and 80s. The 8T and 8TTs design brief was to produce two machines that embody the retro spirit of Suzukis heritage and iconic models of past decades. Drawn by designers in Italy and further sculpted in Japan, both models use a new 16.5-litre fuel tank, which connects each side to new radiator shrouds brushed silver on the 8T and black on the 8TT - adorned with the circular GSX8 logo. With a matt finish to its black seat unit, brushed radiator shrouds, gold forks, and black wheels, the GSX-8T will be available with a Candy Burnt Gold, Metallic Matt Steel Green, or Metallic Matt Black fuel tank. GSX-8T RRP 9,599 OTR GSX-8TT RRP 9,999 OTR Inspired by classic road race machines, the 8TT retains the same headlight unit as its 8T stablemate but wraps it in a cowling that bears a striking resemblance to the GS1000S of the late 1970s. It is fitted with a screen that further completes the look, as well as providing the functional benefit of added weather protection. Underneath the 776cc parallel twin engine, the 8TT also adopts a lower cowling, further enhancing its racier aesthetic. On the 8TT the seat still ensures a comfortable ride but is finished with a flatter top more reminiscent of race bike seats. The 8TT adds more pops of colour and retro racing flair thanks to striped decals on its tank and cowling, with matching wheels. A Glass Sparkle Black variant is offset by red wheels and red and gold decals, while a Pearl Matt Shadow Green version is completed with gold wheels and gold and bronze stripes. Engine While retro spirit comes from the styling of the 8T and 8TT, next generation performance is delivered by Suzukis award-winning 776cc parallel twin engine; widely praised for its drive from the bottom end and through its midrange, making it a useable, flexible, and fun powerplant. This character and punchy performance is enhanced by a 270 crankshaft design, helping fire the 8T and 8TT from corner to corner. Peak torque is 78Nm at 6800rpm, and peak power comes in at 82.9PS at 8500rpm. Chassis Both models use the same steel frame and subframe, and aluminium swingarm. They are suspended by upside down KYB forks gold on the 8T and black on the 8TT - and a KYB rear shock. Wide, tapered aluminium handlebars provide an engaging and comfortable riding position, offering plenty of leverage for steering input. Stopping power comes via twin 310mm discs up front with radially-mounted Nissin calipers, and a 240mm disc at the rear. Electronics Sat atop the retro headlight is a modern colour TFT screen, displaying all the information the rider needs, including rev counter, speedo, and gear position indicator, as well as the selected traction control setting with three available to choose from, plus off and the chosen power mode from A, B, or C. Making for slick gear changes is a bidirectional quickshifter as standard, plus Suzukis easy-start and low RPM assist systems. Both models also come with a USB Type-C socket as standard, which also supports fast charging.

Both the dual-purpose trail bike, the DR-Z4S, and its supermoto stablemate, the DR-Z4SM, will come with an OTR price of 7,999. Both models come with Suzuki's standard three-year manufacturer warranty and are eligible for Suzuki's extended seven-year warranty through regular servicing at an authorised Suzuki dealership. DR-Z4S Ready 4 Anything Explore the world around you with confidence, wherever and whenever you want. Whether riding around town or navigating forest trails or open country, it allows nothing to stand in the way of your pleasure. Thoroughly updated to offer even greater potential on or off the road, the DR-Z4S is truly ready for anything. Solid Iron Grey Champion Yellow Antilock Brake System An electrically controlled Antilock Brake System (ABS) that produces stable braking force under various road surface conditions. The system helps avoid wheel locking when there is a sudden change in road surface during braking or when an excessive braking force is applied. The system monitors wheel speed, and matches stopping power to available traction. * ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. Please always ride at a safe speed for road and weather conditions, including while cornering. Rear ABS Off Mode Rear ABS Off Mode is offered to improve performance on gravel and other unpaved surfaces by switching off rear ABS. Front & Rear ABS Off Mode Front & Rear ABS Off Mode that can be turned off to match the rider's control preferences for riding on gravel and dirt. Ride-by-wire Electronic Throttle System Butterfly valves on the throttle bodies are controlled by an advanced electronic engine management system. Suzuki Easy Start System On a normal motorcycle when starting the engine, the rider needs to press and hold the starter switch until the engine fires up. With the Suzuki Easy Start, all you need to do is one quick push of the starter switch, just like starting a modern car engine. The ECM recognizes the signals and keeps the starter motor working for a specified time. Low RPM Assist Low RPM Assist uses the ISC mechanism to help raise engine rpm slightly in launching and riding at low speed. This new feature helps smoother operation when pulling away and when riding at slow speeds, this means it's easier to pull away and easier to control the engine in stop-start traffic. Suzuki Drive Mode Selector Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) system allows the rider to select one of three fuel injection and ignition system maps (2maps in case of GSX-R750/600), adjusting power delivery to suit personal preference in various riding situations, such as different racetracks or tight, twisty roads. The feature helps rider to enjoy the performance in a wider range of riding situations. Suzuki Traction Control System Suzuki Traction Control System continuously monitors front and rear wheel speeds, throttle position sensor, crank position sensor and gear position sensor, and quickly reduces engine output when wheel spin is detected. Engine output is controlled by managing ignition timing and air delivery to ensure smoother traction control operation. As a results rider can enjoy long distance riding more comfortable, with less stress and fatigue. Gravel Mode G (Gravel) Mode setting retards ignition timing to help you better negotiate gravel roads by allowing some slip when riding on unpaved surfaces. As a result, the bike remains controllable and you still get the consistent power output you want. Gravel Mode promotes greater confidence and makes it more exciting and enjoyable to explore unpaved roads and country trails. Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) is Suzuki's own nickel-silicon-carbide coating technique derived from racetrack experience. SCEM cylinders allow faster heat transfer and tighter piston-to-cylinder clearance, for superb durability and resistance to scuffing. Suzuki Clutch Assist System Suzuki Clutch Assist System (SCAS) - a back-torque-limiting clutch helps make downshifts smoother, assists the rider in taking control in deceleration. Ramped engagement cams built into the clutch hub decrease force on the clutch plates under deceleration by pushing up against the pressure plate, allowing the plates to slip at a controlled rate. EURO 5+ Only models with European specifications comply with EURO 5 emission regulations.

By optimizing the braking power that is transmitted to all 3 wheels, the UBS provides smooth and effective deceleration for a confident and assured riding experience. COMPACT NEW TRICITY FAMILY BODY DESIGN The new Tricity 125 is equipped with a compact new body design that has been strongly influenced by the contemporary style of the flagship Tricity 300. The front features a shorter nose, and the tail size is also reduced, giving a feeling of compactness and stability. The body design above the rear wheel gives a strong wheel arch inspired look, and the overall style of the new bodywork underlines the strong Tricity family DNA.

Pluswhat is the MCIA Secured scheme and what information does that give you ? Manufacturers offer 'standard equipment security' on all models but this differs from bike to bike. On most bikes and scooters under 500cc this is normally just a steering lock and on most bikes over 500cc there is an immobiliser unit that is activated from the key that contains a chip. The only way to be totally sure is to research the specific model and see whats fitted at the factory.

Available January 2025 onwards* The silhouette of the Tnr 700 has become iconic, standing tall and upright at the front end, before tapering to a compact tail unit. It takes on board the lessons gained through decades spent winning rally raids, harmoniously blending functionality, ergonomics and performance to deliver the most engaging ride in all conditions. The frontal design offers both excellent visibility and protection for the rider, thanks in no small part to the large one-piece windscreen, while the minimalist mid-to-rear section contributes to a riding position which gives the rider plenty of space in which to position their body, with special attention paid to riders who want to stand up and redistribute their body weight while riding off-road. Compared to the previous model, the fuel tank has been moved forward, with great consideration taken to balance size with optimal ergonomics, while retaining the classic Tnr design language. The top of the 16 litre tank now sits lower down than the one found on the previous generation model and these changes contribute to a more balanced weight distribution and better all-round handling. The mid-section of the 2025 Tnr 700 has been designed not only to facilitate a balanced visual transition between the front and rear of the bike, but also to provide a comfortable and effective saddle for the rider an area in which they can easily move their body weight around as they hustle off road. The design is uncomplicated, with an emphasis on giving a secure contact patch between the bike and the riders legs, and to facilitate good air flow in both seated and standing positions. The new one-piece rally inspired seat is also classic Tnr, being long and narrow in design and compared to the previous two-piece design, provides greater freedom of movement while riding. For all the practical reasons behind the styling, Yamahas design team have been keen to ensure they created an eye-catching motorcycle which captures the essence of off-road riding after all, it is a Tnr. Viewed head on the Tnr 700 gives the classic rally tower look. The new headlamp design features four individual LED light units stacked in an aluminium structure, in the style of Yamahas contemporary rally racers, with the Y shaped mount giving a distinctively fresh look. Where many adventure bikes can look bulky, the Tnr 700s new body panels convey a sense of lightness, yet remain tough and ready to handle whatever the rider throws at it. Its a motorcycle which has genuine off-road capabilities and the 21 front wheel is not just there for show. It has been designed to take on any roads, whether paved or not, with plenty of ground clearance and long travel suspension set to soak up even the worst of conditions. New colour-matched handguards not only confirm the Tnr 700s offroad credentials but have the practical benefits of giving the rider protection from the elements and any shrubbery which may be blocking the way. Completing the Tnrs distinctive look are two emotive new colour schemes designed to emphasize the bikes abilities. The standard and lower seat height models come with the choice of a Frozen Titanium, which enhances the rugged nature of the machine, or Yamahas classic Icon Blue a variation on the classic livery which has graced YZ motocross and WR enduro bikes since 1996. *Delivery date may be subject to change. 2025 YAMAHA TNR 700 NEW TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS New bodywork and headlight in striking Yamaha Adventure design High quality, fully-adjustable suspension front and rear New 6.3 full colour TFT screen with smartphone connectivity YCC-T electronic throttle with dual riding modes Switchable ABS and TCS via a dedicated button Latest version 690cc, two-cylinder, four-valve, DOHC, liquid-cooled, EU5+ CP2 engine New switchgear and turn signals New one-piece rally-style seat Low variant available with 15mm lower seat height New clutch cover to reduce leg interference Larger footrests Handguards matching body colour Updated side stand switch 2025 YAMAHA TNR 700 RALLY NEW TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS (IN ADDITION TO STANDARD VERSION) Taller KYB suspension front and rear Heritage livery paying homage to classic Tnr models Off-road style high front fender Heavy duty skid plate constructed from 4mm aluminium Lightweight titanium footrests Additional Raid TFT Theme Dedicated rally seat Frozen Titanium - Tenere 700 Icon Blue - Tenere 700 Sky Blue - Tenere 700Rally Tue, 05 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/5-ways-remembrance-pledge Throughout the week before Remembrance Day, we will donate 25 to the Royal British Legion for every Motorcycle and Scooter purchased.

Debuted in 2001, the TMAX astounded the marketplace with its innovative design and premium specification that combined key technologies from the motorcycle and scooter worlds to create a completely new kind of powered two wheeler. An icon was born, and this legendary machine has continued to lead the way for over 20 years. By opening up a whole new concept, the original TMAX not only created the Sport Scooter category at the beginning of the millennium, but it has also inspired the development of Yamaha's leading MAX scooters that offer anyone the opportunity to join the MAX family. All manufactured with the same pure MAX DNA, each one of Yamaha's Sport Scooters can trace their heritage back to the TMAX. MOTORCYCLE PERFORMANCE, SCOOTER CONVENIENCE Driven by a compact and powerful 2-cylinder engine fitted into a motorcycle style chassis, the first generation TMAX brought a totally new riding experience to the marketplace. Riders were able to experience thrilling motorcycle performance with step thru accessibility and the simplicity of fully automatic transmission. Offering class leading performance with scooter comfort and 'twist and go' convenience together with excellent wind protection and the ability to cover long distances at high speeds with ease the TMAX broke new ground and is widely recognised at the world's very first Sport Scooter. NEW LOOK, HIGHER TECH AND INCREASED CONTROLLABILITY For 2025 the TMAX Tech MAX features a dynamic new look with a sharper front end, as well as upgraded riders assist and a more sophisticated dash. It comes with a premium finish that underlines its status as the ultimate Yamaha Sport Scooter. The latest model represents the ongoing evolution of this outstanding high performance large capacity Sport Scooter, with Yamaha's styling team focusing on creating an even better package with a stronger new face that retains the essential character of this much loved model. Together with upgrades to the connected dash, riders will also benefit from the increased controllability offered by the Brake Control, and the refined engine meets the needs of the environmentally conscious rider. EURO5+ 560CC 2-CYLINDER ENGINE The TMAX Tech MAX is driven by a compact and powerful engine giving spirited sports performance via an easy to use automatic transmission. The 560cc 2-cylinder engine develops maximum power of 35kW and features a special horizontally opposed reciprocating piston balancer mechanism that ensures a super smooth ride, making it ideal in a variety of riding situations whether commuting into work through congested urban streets or heading home on the highway. For 2025 the engine and exhaust have been refined, and the latest TMAX Tech MAX is fully EURO5+ compliant, making this A2-licence Sport Scooter suitable for the urban Low Emission Zones in European cities. With maximum power produced at 7,000 rpm and maximum torque at 5,250 rpm, TMAX Tech MAX is engineered to deliver an exciting and enjoyable ride wherever its rider decides to go, 7 days a week. ENHANCED ELECTRONIC RIDER'S ASSIST Everything about the TMAX Tech MAX is designed to offer the rider the very highest levels of comfort, control and riding enjoyment. This iconic Sport Scooter has always been at the cutting edge of styling and technology, and the new model is equipped with a new Brake Control system more commonly known as cornering ABS. Developed originally for Yamaha's high performance Supersport motorcycles, Brake Control (BC) works with the TMAX Tech MAX's Anti-lock Braking System to help minimize brake slip during hard braking or when riding on low-traction surfaces. Activated by an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), the BC system aims to deliver the most comfortable braking performance at varying speeds, lean angles and road conditions. TMAX Tech MAX is also equipped with D-MODE which enables the rider to select the desired engine power character to suit urban or highway riding, as well as Traction Control that moderates power to the rear wheel on loose or slippery surfaces. The addition of Brake Control complements this Sport Scooter's existing package of electronic control technology to give the rider a higher level of confidence in a variety of weather and road surface conditions. DYNAMIC NEW DUAL EYE HEADLIGHTS AND REFINED BODYWORK The TMAX Tech MAX has projected a distinctive and iconic look ever since the very first model arrived in 2001, and the constant evolution of this legendary Sport Scooter has kept it at the forefront of its category for almost a quarter of a century. Over the years Yamaha's styling team has been careful to respect the fundamental character of the original model whilst introducing stylistic upgrades and improvements that further strengthen this ultimate Sport Scooter's iconic status. The 2025 model features a dynamic new face with restyled dual eye headlights and built in position lights that give a sportier and more refined appearance that is instantly recognisable as being TMAX while at the same time bringing a stronger new image to this outstanding Sport Scooter. The TMAX Tech MAX's front bodywork is also new and is created to complement the latest dual eye headlights to give a new generation look and feel that is slightly shorter than previously, giving a simple and sharp silhouette with a more compact mass centralised look. Together with the iconic boomerang side panels, upswept right side exhaust, sculpted dual seat and athletic sports bodywork, the new face and front bodywork retain this legendary model's essential character and pure sports DNA that have made it one of the most popular powered two wheelers built by Yamaha. UPGRADED 7-INCH SCREEN WITH ENHANCED CONNECTIVITY The 7-inch TFT dash is upgraded and offers a choice of three screen layouts, enabling the TMAX Tech MAX rider to select the option that focuses on the information that is most significant to them. Enhanced connectivity on the latest model via the MyRide app also enables riders to play music and view SMS, receive calls and email notifications. The MyRide app also gives access to numerous functions and services such as a riding log, parking location, fuel consumption, routes ridden and more, adding another dimension to the riding experience and enabling the owner to make informed decisions.

Comprising of a matrix of multiple low and high beam LEDs linked to a camera which is integrated into the upper part of the headlamp assembly, the technology automatically detects surrounding traffic, natural light sources and weather conditions. Taking this information on board, it dynamically adjusts brightness and light distribution to provide optimal illumination at all times. The system increases rider confidence while riding at night, distributing the light in such a way that it tries to ensure other road users are not dazzled, while adjusting the illuminated area for the rider. The Matrix LED headlight array works with the six-axis IMU to adjust the light beam when a lean angle of seven degrees or more is detected, creating a more comfortable riding experience. While the adaptive headlights are fully automated, the rider can choose from three levels of sensitivity, while also having the possibility to manually override at any time while riding. POWERED BY CP3 The critically acclaimed CP3 engine needs little introduction. Famous for its high torque characteristics and incredible midrange acceleration, the latest EU5+ specification version of the 890cc three-cylinder motor delivers a peak power output of 119ps at 10,000rpm, with 93Nm of torque at 7,000rpm. Of course, the numbers only tell part of the story and dont convey a riding experience which has made TRACER 9 one of Europes biggest selling sports tourers. The most balanced TRACER 9 yet, the 2025 incarnation delivers a gloriously engaging ride thanks to that famed linear torque delivery at low-to-mid rpm. With optimised gear ratios and a distinctive growl from the twin exhaust system and tuned intake, the TRACER 9 provides an addictive ride which puts a grin on the riders face every time they open the throttle. For all the TRACER 9s playfulness, the CP3 is a joy to ride, with the perfect blend of sporty agility and touring comfort. Combined with Yamahas adjustable riding modes and the standard assist and slipper clutch, the TRACER 9 is a super smooth and versatile motorcycle capable of adapting to the riders individual needs. LIGHTWEIGHT CF ALUMINIUM DIE-CAST FRAME Complementing perfectly the CP3 engine, Yamahas aluminium Deltabox frame provides high levels of rigidity to provide an engaging and sporty ride. This is manufactured using Yamahas proprietary CF (controlled filling) die-cast process, which enables the construction of an extremely light and strong frame with varying wall thicknesses throughout, allowing for a finely tuned design with rigidity optimised to deliver class leading handling. A holistic design approach sees the Deltabox frame mated to an extended aluminium swingarm and steel subframe, now longer yet lighter than before, to provide more room for rider and passenger. The combination contributes to a motorcycle with outstanding high speed stability and the carrying capacity required from a motorcycle developed to convey two people and their luggage in style and comfort. Combined with lightweight wheels and high-specification KYB suspension, the 2025 TRACER 9 delivers an agile and secure riding experience without compromise. FULL THREE-BOX LUGGAGE CAPABILITY The 2025 TRACER 9 comes equipped ready for luggage, allowing the option of easily fitting removable 30 litre hard panniers (standard equipment on TRACER 9 GT and GT+) and/or a choice of a 34 or 45 litre top box from the official Yamaha accessories range. The genuine Yamaha hard luggage is designed to be fully integrated into the motorcycle and is easily operated with the smart key technology found on the TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+. The TRACER 9 has been designed to carry up to 193kg, allowing rider and passenger to tour without compromise and emphasising the models capabilities as a versatile sports tourer. Also new for the 2025 TRACER 9 models is an integrated storage compartment located to the right hand side of the tank, containing a USB outlet and providing an easy to access cubby hole for wallets, documents and other small items which are essential on longer rides. INTEGRATED RIDING MODES All TRACER 9 models benefit from five Ride Modes (three preset and two customisable) which are fully integrated with the six-axis IMU and other technologies, such as the comprehensive suite of lean-sensitive rider aids, Cruise Control, electronic suspension and, where fitted, the Y-AMT transmission. These Ride Modes, Sport, Street, Rain, Custom 1 and Custom 2 can be toggled on the fly using a control on the newly designed right-hand switchgear. The factory modes are preset with different intervention levels to suit the varying conditions, while the Custom options enable the rider to adjust the individual parameters in the YRC menu of the TFT, or by using the app. When using the app, any new custom YRC settings will be uploaded and available for the rider to select the next time the app is connected to the bike. HIGH SPECIFICATION 7 FULL COLOUR TFT DASHBOARD All versions of the TRACER 9 come equipped with the same comprehensive 7 TFT dashboard. The meter features three different themes to match the riders preference and riding style, with additional layouts for navigation, music and calls. Each theme is designed to emphasise the different sides of the TRACER 9s character, from a stripped back sports design to an information packed touring layout and a more casual, design driven screen which displays core details in a visual theme inspired by Yamahas Jin-Ki Kanno development philosophy. The TFT dash has been developed to incorporate Garmins Motorize app, which includes a subscription for the full navigation service as standard (TRACER 9 GT and TRACER 9 GT+), delivering a large live-map navigation experience. The dashboard is also fully integrated with all the TRACER 9s standard and accessory features, such as the YRC (Yamaha Ride Control) ride modes, tyre pressure monitoring systems and heated accessories. LIGHTWEIGHT SPINFORGED WHEELS AND DEDICATED BRIDGESTONE TYRES Manufactured using Yamaha-exclusive SpinForge technology, the TRACER 9s wheels are lighter and stronger than those produced using more traditional processes, giving a corresponding reduction in inertia for even greater agility and improved fuel economy. The 2025 TRACER 9 further benefits from a change in rim thickness on the rear wheel, optimising the rigidity. The wheels are paired with Bridgestone BATTLAX SPORT TOURING T32 tyres which were developed specifically for the TRACER 9. The internal structure of the tyres has been designed to complement and enhance the handling characteristics of the TRACER 9, typically reducing the weight of the front wheel assembly by around 200g, with a 300g saving at the rear. Together the package contributes to a low wet weight of 212kg, and optimised handling in a variety of conditions. HIGH QUALITY, FULLY ADJUSTABLE, KYB SUSPENSION SEMI ACTIVE ON GT MODELS All models in the 2025 TRACER 9 range benefit from front and rear suspension units which allow the rider to adjust the settings and find the best set-up for their individual needs and preferences. The GT models further benefit from electronically adjustable suspension units, which has been developed specifically for the TRACER 9 in collaboration with KYB. Called KADS (KYB Actimatic Damper System), it is the most advanced suspension system found on any Yamaha production motorcycle. This semi-active system is baked into the motorcycles electronics and dynamically adjusts the damping and riding experience using real time data detected by the six-axis IMU, such as lean angle, load, acceleration and the amount and speed of the suspension stroke, providing a ride which can deliver a sporting ride without compromising comfort. The rider has the choice of different modes at the touch of a button, and the dynamics are further determined by the selected YRC riding mode, delivering a firmer, more sporting setting in Sport mode, with a greater focus on comfort in Street and Rain mode. KADS is further integrated into other advanced and convenience systems, such as the brake control, Adaptive Cruise Control and the Unified Brake System. The result is a truly confidence inspiring riding which adapts itself to the wide range of environments in which this versatile machine has been designed to be ridden in. Tue, 29 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-mt-07-2025-update CLASS DEFINING MT-07 GETS MORE TECH, MORE SPEC AND EVEN MORE STYLE As the motorcycle which redefined the twin cylinder naked class upon its launch in 2014, the Yamaha MT-07 has been among Europes best-selling machines for over a decade. Embracing the Dark Side of Japan philosophy, the MT-07 has led the industry with its futuristic styling and a torque laden motor that has acquired legions of fans around the world. The edgy, sometimes radical, looks have given the MT series a cult following, inspiring a new generation of motorcyclists to take to two wheels and experience an exhilaration only those in the MT community understand. For 2025 Yamaha again looks to be the category trendsetter, as it welcomes the newest member to the MT family with a fresh new look, an even higher specification and the option of a Y-AMT equipped version. FBut for all its evolution, the 2025 MT-07 remains the torquey hooligan for which it has become notorious, albeit one with greater refinement, more technology and extra premium components. Bold and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. The urban legend continues! Ice Strom Tech Black Icon Blue YCC-T AND YRC CUSTOMISABLE RIDING MODES DEBUT IN MT-07 Appearing on the CP2 platform for the first time, the 2025 MT-07 features the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle system which has previously been utilised on larger capacity models in the MT-series. Adopting this ride-by-wire throttle technology allows the MT-07 to employ a whole suite of electronic rider aids, which enable customisation and aid enjoyment. The MT-07s excellent throttle response now features three YRC (Yamaha Ride Control) settings which change the power characteristics to suit the riders preferences and road conditions. YCC-T also facilitates the standard switchable traction control, YAMT transmission and allows the fitment of Yamahas third generation up-anddown quickshifter as an accessory option on the standard version. Exclusive to the 2025 MT-07 Y-AMT, cruise control is also a standard feature, increasing comfort and reducing fatigue on highway riding. The MT-07 comes preset with two factory YRC modes, Sport and Street, with a third Custom setting able to be defined by the user via the TFT dashboard or the free MyRide app. The rider is able to choose from three power maps and two levels of traction control, as well as the ability to switch off intervention. Sport mode has been developed for more enthusiastic riding, such as on tracks or twisting roads. It is preset to offer the most responsive power map (PWR1) and a lower level of traction control (TCS1). Street mode, designed for everyday use, employs a softer delivery (PWR2) and the highest level of intervention (TCS2). A third power setting (PWR3) gives the mildest delivery, suitable for wet weather and low grip conditions, and users can select any one of the three power deliveries and three traction control settings (including the ability to switch off intervention completely) for their custom preset. For MT-07s equipped with Y-AMT, additional YRC settings further reflect the selected drive mode. When in manual (MT) setting, the MT-07 Y-AMT utilises the same modes as the manual version. Each of the two AT settings has its own YRC mode. When in D, the system delivers a balanced combination of throttle response, TCS and shifting to provide a good all-round setting for any conditions. In D+ mode the YRC delivers a different level of TCS intervention and holds on to each gear for longer encouraging the rider to enjoy rev out the CP2 motor and unlock the liveliest levels of performance offered by this innovative way of shifting. 2025 YAMAHA MT-07 - TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS Y-AMT option with Cruise Control Compact new styling with new riding position Redesigned bi-functional LED headlamp unit New 5 full colour TFT screen with smartphone connectivity and navigation Electronic rider aids including traction control and three power modes (STREET, SPORT, CUSTOM) Customisable riding experience with Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings New frame and swingarm optimise rigidity and enhance handling Handlebar and footpeg position modified for a more engaged riding experience New dual four-piston radially mounted front brake calipers New 41mm inverted front fork and rear suspension unit Optimised aural experience with acoustic amplifying technology Latest 690cc, two-cylinder, four-valve DOHC liquid-cooled, EU5+ CP2 engine Lightweight SpinForged wheels with Dunlop Sportmax tyres A&S clutch for smoother down changes New switchgear and auto-cancelling turn signals with emergency stop signalling Fri, 25 Oct 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-r9-coming-soon- Orders are being taken now for the New 2025 Yamaha R9 - Order your unit here with only a 500 deposit.

Graba great new bike and superb service at 5-Ways , Hull- East Yorkshire. Over the last three decades, Yamahas R Series has become synonymous with speed, performance and style. The launch of a new R model has always been a game-changing moment for Yamaha, from the unveiling of the original R1 in 1998, followed by the R6 a year later along with the iconic YZF-R7, to the re-invigoration of the entry-level market with the R125 in 2008. 2015 saw the introduction of MotoGP-level electronics to the Supersport segment with the R1 and R1M, and then the CP2-powered R7 added a completely new dimension to the Supersport market in 2021. And now, for 2025, the time has come to re-define the Supersport category once more with the latest highly anticipated model to join the legendary R Series lineup; the R9. Offering exhilarating performance and the cutting-edge technology the R Series is renowned for, the R9 presents a whole new generation of Supersport. Motorcycles There is no escaping that the Supersport market has changed over the years, with the needs and desires of riders evolving and emissions regulations becoming stricter. It is this change which led Yamaha to the decision that their iconic R1 would become a track-only model from 2025 with the introduction of the R1 RACE and continuation of the R1 GYTR. And while the R1 GYTR and R1 RACE and their ultimate track performance remain the halo-models atop of the Supersport range, Yamaha remains committed to the future of road-going Supersport market, and the appetite and desire shown for this market since the introduction of the R7 makes it clear there remains a place for road-going Supersport models. The introduction of the R9 completes the step-up Supersport category, which progresses from the entry level R125 to the A2-category R3, middleweight R7 and now the R9 on the road-going side, while the ever-important R1 GYTR, R1 RACE, R6 GYTR and R6 RACE retain their place in the line-up with their high-level performance reserved for the track. While this new generation of Supersport marks the beginning of a new chapter, the story remains the same with the Supersport ranges identity born from Yamahas racing DNA. From design cues to race-developed technology, each Supersport model is a product of Yamahas racing at the very highest level. The R9 takes this proven, race-derived technology and design and combines it with the critically acclaimed, triple-cylinder CP3 engine platform which has revolutionised the Yamaha brand over the last decade. The marriage of this famously high-torque powerplant and Yamahas renowned race-precision handling creates a perfectly balanced Supersport model worthy of its status as the R Series flagship, offering usable sports performance on the road, and ample performance for the track. DESIGNED WITH R-DNA The introduction of any R Series model has always been a statement, and the R9 is no exception. While the R9 retains many of the MotoGP-inspired design features which have become synonymous with Yamahas Supersport models, making it immediately obvious as an R machine, its design also presents the progression expected from a new generation. Horizontal lines have been emphasised on all R models since the 2015 R1, but this aggressive and sporty styling is taken to the next level for the R9, expanding from horizontal lines to more of a horizontal movement, offering a powerful and flowing feel, embodying the R9s agility, precise handling and race-derived innovation. This new look is encapsulated by the integrated aerodynamic winglets, which contribute to the R9s fierce new face to complement its exhilarating performance. The iconic R-Series M shaped air-duct and twin-eye headlights remain, but each of these design features are emphasised to add to the aggressive, next generation styling. A single-lens headlight in the M-duct adds to the ice-cold look, while a central front spoiler is also fixed ahead of the headlight to work with the winglets, while also contributing to the fierce aesthetic. HIGH TORQUE, 890CC CP3 ENGINE The R9 is powered by Yamahas award-winning 890cc CP3 liquid-cooled, threecylinder, DOHC, 4-valve-per-cylinder fuel-injected engine. The bore and stroke of 78mm x 62mm and 11.5:1 compression ratio provides both excellent torque and ample power, which when combined with the fine control offered by the Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) offers optimal performance both on track and on the road. The final ratio, ignition timing and fuel mapping are all optimised for Supersport performance both on track and on the road. The triple-cylinder roar has become a trademark of the CP3 over the years, and Yamahas engineers paid significant attention into amplifying the engines emotion-evoking sound. LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM DELTABOX-STYLE FRAME Developed specifically for the R9, the gravity-cast aluminium Deltabox-style frame has had its rigidity tuned for sports performance at both low and high loads. Compared to Yamahas other CP3 models, the stiffness of the R9s base frame is higher in all three directions: torsional, longitudinal and lateral. Applying specific thicknesses, shapes and also by machined holes, Yamaha engineers aimed to balance rigidity and flex giving the rider both high levels of feedback and riding comfort. The frames standalone weight of 9.7kg makes it the lightest frame ever used for a Yamaha Supersport model. This light chassis means the overall wet weight of the R9 is just 195kg, resulting in the optimal power to weight ratio. The frame, combined with the sub-frame have been designed to contribute to the R9s narrow and nimble attitude, while also emphasising the speed and performance of a true Supersport machine. THE MOST AERODYNAMICALLY EFFICIENT YAMAHA MODEL TO DATE Given its size relative to performance, the R6 has long been the most aerodynamic Yamaha model to date, and it was against this benchmark Yamahas engineers used to refine the R9s aerodynamic efficiency. Through extensive wind tunnel testing, the engineers were able to mould the R9 to boast less aerodynamic drag (thus maximising top speed and acceleration performance) than the R6, despite the R9 having a larger displacement, radiator and frontal surface area. This efficiency is achieved through a combination of the front fairing design, while the new aerodynamic winglets, added just beneath the lights, reduce front lift and improve contact with the road. Normally, just adding winglets would generate extra drag, but through repeated testing, the adverse impacts were eliminated, and the final design minimises the degree of drag while offering the rider a planted front-end feel. The winglets reduce front-wheel lift by 6-7% in a straight line, and when combined with the front-end spoiler beneath the M-duct, this effect is increased to approximately 10% during cornering. SUPERSPORT LEVEL HANDLING: SUSPENSION Yamahas Supersport machines are renowned for their handling ability, and this remains true for the R9. The front and rear shock are both newly designed KYB suspension components set-up specifically for the machine and developed alongside the 2025 R1 GYTR and R1 RACE. The new 43mm KYB inverted front forks have been fully re-designed and now feature individual adjusters for rebound and compression damping on the left and right fork tubes. Each can be adjusted individually, with the right tube for rebound damping and the left for compression, both high-speed and low-speed. Each fork leg now features a base valve, designed to optimise pressure in the cylinder by limiting or entirely preventing oil from flowing into the bottom of the fork. This new lay-out results in an improved damping response, enhanced contact feeling and better all-round stability. And a Kashima coating darkens the gold/bronze colour with true performance aesthetics. The rear shock is adjustable for preload, rebound damping, compression damping and the new layout contributes to highly precise damping, offering greater feedback from the track or road surface. RACE-DERIVED BREMBO BRAKING SYSTEM The R9 features race-derived Brembo Stylema monoblock calipers, which are light, rigid and are designed to provide better control and stability. The stainless steel mesh brake hoses and large 320mm front discs offer excellent consistency and a controllable feel, especially in prolonged use and under heavy braking. Taking the R9s stopping power to the next level, the Brembo radial master cylinder features a piston which moves in a direction parallel to the brake lever travel, applying pressure in a linear manner as the rider pulls the lever resulting in a refined feeling of control. The lightweight Stylema calipers produce their stopping power through four 30mm pistons and are designed to allow an optimised air flow for efficient cooling, reducing brake fade on track. SPORTY COMFORT: OPTIMISED RIDING POSITION True to its Supersport style, the R9s riding position is designed to be sporty, with race-style clip-on handlebars, but to cater for the different levels of track-day riders, as well as spirited rides on the road, the points of contact between the motorcycle and the body have been developed to allow riders of various builds to freely move around on the bike. The distance from the handlebars to the riders hips is optimised to avoid an excessive forward-set posture, and the seat height of 830mm offers accessibility to a wide range of riders. The footpegs are positioned to offer more space and avoid cramping of the legs. HANDLEBARS The handlebars are clip-ons mounted below the triple-clamp, providing the kind of front-end load youd expect from a Supersport without too much of an aggressive forward-lean. The positioning is sportier than the clip-ons found on the R7, but more relaxed than those on the R6 RACE, offering greater suitability for different kinds of riding. FUEL TANK The 14-litre fuel tank provides enough cruising range in road use, while also maintaining a narrow width to offer optimal rider-machine unity. The tank shape is designed to provide ample grip for the riders outside thigh and arm while cornering, with the goal of providing a sense of stability and connection while midcorner. SPORTS-FOCUSED BRIDGESTONE TYRES The R9 is fitted with Bridgestones Battlax Hypersport RS11s, boasting track-level performance tuned for use on public roads. These sports tyres offer an incredibly high performance thanks to a high level of grip, cornering stability and contact feeling. NEWLY DESIGNED HANDLEBAR SWITCHES WITH ALL-NEW USER INTERFACE The R9s switchgear is both intuitive and easy to use, with a focus on minimising the number of buttons to operate a wide range of functions. The button shape and feel during use have been extensively refined to provide optimal operation while riding wearing gloves. CRUISE CONTROL & SPEED LIMITER For convenience when riding longer distances, the R9 is fitted with a cruise control system, which can be activated when riding at speeds of 40km/h and above in third gear and higher. After the cruise speed is set, it can be increased or decreased in increments of 1km/h with single pushes of the switch, or continuously by holding down the switch. Cruise control can be cancelled either at the touch of a button, the brake, the clutch or the throttle. Riders can also set a speed limit for their machine, which controls engine output to ensure the machine does not exceed the selected speed. SOPHISTICATED R1-BASED ELECTRONICS AND YRC MODES Developed directly from the electronic systems on the R1, the R9s high-tech sixaxis IMU constantly measures acceleration in the forward-backward, up-down and left-right directions as well as the angular velocity in the machines pitch, roll and yaw directions. The IMU is able to send data in real time to the ECU, which controls the suite of electronic rider aids and in turn alters the machines behaviour depending on the level of support the rider has chosen. INTEGRATED RIDING MODES Riders can customise their riding experience via the Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings, which allow the rider to select engine power characteristics and the level of electronic support to suit their preferences and riding conditions. Three integrated riding modes, Sport, Street, and Rain featuring factory settings with different levels to suit various conditions are complemented by the option to pre-set two Custom modes, and four Track modes. This allows the creation of specific YRC settings to suit certain situations or conditions by altering the level of electronic support such as Power delivery (PWR), Traction Control (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS), Brake Control (BC), Back Slip Regulator (BSR), Engine Brake Management (EBM) and front wheel Lift Control (LIF), all of which can be set directly through the R9s YRC settings screen or via Yamahas YConnect smartphone app. For optimal race starts, the R9 also features a launch control system, which supports riders when launching and accelerating from a standstill. And for track usage, there is the option to turn off the rear ABS. THIRD GENERATION QUICK SHIFT SYSTEM Yamahas third generation Quick Shift System (QSS) allows clutchless upshifts and downshifts, with Setting 1 enabling these when accelerating (for upshifts) and decelerating (for downshifts) while Setting 2 also allows downshifts while accelerating and upshifts while decelerating, providing greater functionality in a wider range of scenarios. DISPLAY & CONNECTIVITY The R9s full colour 5 TFT display can be customised between four selectable themes, while a track-mode displays information only relevant when riding on track, including lap-timer. SMARTPHONE NOTIFICATIONS AND DATA TRANSFER The R9s display can be connected to a smartphone via Yamahas MyRide app, through the bikes onboard Communication Control Unit (CCU). The app can be used to modify YRC settings, allowing the creation of new YRC modes even when away from the bike. Up to 40 different mode setting variations can be saved on the app to suit a particular road or track conditions, and then uploaded to the bike when in range. An integrated full navigation system is also available through the Garmin StreetCross app. And users can show various information and images on the display, including phone calls, text messages and weather updates. Y-TRAC FEEL LIKE A RACER! The Y-Trac app elevates the Supersport experience, enabling riders to improve their track riding and performance through tools usually only available to professional racers. Derived from racing, the Y-Trac app offers the possibility to log and analyse riding data with professional-level technology for all levels of riders, from novice to pro. With the Y-Trac app, lap and sector times can be logged as well as machine data including lean angle, engine rpm, gear position, speed, throttle position and the levels of support from the electronic support systems, such as traction control. GPS location data input can be via a riders smart phone, but should the rider want to use a GPS unit on the bike, Y-TRAC can be linked to the Garmin GLO2.

One update thats hugely anticipated is the arrival of the SE derivative, a premium spec version of the Ninja 1100SX with a Brembo brake front end makeover including a new master cylinder, M4.32 radial mount calipers matched to braided lines. At the rear, the SE features hlins S46 suspension with a remote pre-load adjustment. The SE will also be the first SX to have heated grips fitted as standard and will no doubt have existing SX customers lining up to upgrade for 2025! What both machines share is the ability to be connected to an updated version of Kawasakis unique Rideology app that allows riders to adjust aspects of their motorcycle, gather machine information via their Smartphone and also see ridden routes on their phone screen plus for 2025 Rideology is now voice command application ready anticipating the next generation of motorcycle and rider interactivity. Both Standard and SE versions with be offered in Tourer, Performance & Performance Tourer editions Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/kawasaki-versys-1100-2025-model For 2025 that carefully considered evolution takes its next step and chief among the under the surface changes are an increase in cylinder capacity and also an increase in peak power. Developed by Kawasaki specifically for any roads excitement from perfectly surfaced highways to poorly maintained country roads, the Versys In-Line Four engine receives an increase in displacement from 1,043 cm3to 1,099 cm3for the 2025 season thanks to a 3mm longer stroke. This capacity increase, along with other subtle adjustments, increases maximum power from 120 PS to 135 PS. Additionally, increased mid-high rpm torque makes an already great riding experience even more enjoyable. The new models (Standard, S and SE plus Edition machines and luggage options) also receive several upgrades aimed at improving touring potential. The updated Kawasaki Quick Shifter (KQS) feature now functions from a lower minimum shift point of 1500rpm, while new upper gear ratios enhance touring comfort partnered with electronic cruise control. In terms of engine changes, selected headlines include centre intake funnels now 45 mm longer than the outer intake funnels adding to better torque between 4,000 and 7,000 rpm. The intake ports were optimised to suit a throttle body change and are now narrower in relation to the bikes increased displacement. The resulting higher intake flow velocity in the low- to mid-rpm range benefits low-mid range torque. Additionally, new ECU settings optimised for the higher engine displacement have the throttle valve opening characteristics revised across the rev range while cam profiles with a lower valve lift also contribute to increased low-mid rpm range torque. Increased rideability is also thanks to a heavier flywheel mass and a secondary balancer reduces excess vibration while large connector pipes join exhaust headers 1-4 and 2-3, contributing to better performance at all rpms. And to keep things under control, an oil cooler has been added in 2025 for improved cooling performance. Braking is revised too with the rear disc increasing from 250 mm > 260 mm. A USB-C port is standard and in terms of electronic rider aids, the Versys 1100 owner will be well served with a raft of items including KTRC traction control, cornering management, power mode and riding mode selections and for SE owners Showa electronically damped suspension. Boasting the convenience of Kawasakis unique Rideology smartphone App (which is now voice command function ready), you have the ideal planet exploring platform. Versys 1100 Destination: Everywhere.

Since then, racing has been deep-rooted in Yamahas DNA. Across the globe, Yamaha has won an abundance of races and championships, from the grass roots of club racing to the elite, premier class of Motorcycle Grand Prix. And while the taste of victory is sweet, each step Yamaha has made in the ultracompetitive racing world has influenced, inspired and filtered down to every motorcycle Yamaha has produced. No range has benefitted more from Yamahas racing activities than its Supersport models. From MotoGP-inspired design to technology developed in the championship-winning Yamaha WorldSBK programme, each Supersport model is defined by Yamahas racing roots. None more so than the iconic R1. A game changer when first introduced in 1998, the R1 has won both races and hearts in its almost-three decades of existence. The introduction of the crossplane engine in 2009, followed by the MotoGP-derived electronics package and styling in 2015, saw the R1 offer customers a glimpse into the life of a Yamaha MotoGP rider and over the past decade, the R1s race results speak for itself. Since 2015, the R1 has won a Superbike World Championship, two Endurance World Championship titles, eight All Japan Road Race Championships, eight MotoAmerica titles, three British Superbike Championship crowns and two German IDM Superbike championships. And to this day, the R1 continues to fight for podiums and victories in the WorldSBK and EWC championships, as well as competing for title glory in various national series Over the last decade, the European motorcycle market has seen significant changes as the needs of riders have evolved, and with emissions regulations becoming stricter, the Supersport category has taken a new direction. In line with this, the R1s future and development will be fully focussed on racing and track-use in Europe. The 2025 R1 RACE is the embodiment of this commitment. Taking a step even closer to the YZR-M1 Grand Prix machine which inspires both the R1s aesthetics and technology, the R1 RACE features MotoGP-inspired aerodynamic winglets, upgraded suspension and an all new Brembo braking system to offer the ultimate track riding experience. MOTOGP-INSPIRED AERODYNAMIC WINGLETS The R1 RACE features MotoGP-style aerodynamic winglets fitted to the top of the main fairing. Designed and developed from the technical feedback from the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP team, the new winglets maximise the effects of the R1s anti-wheelie electronics as well as improving front-end feel and feedback when braking and cornering. Made from carbon fibre to add as little weight as possible while ensuring strength and rigidity, the winglets not only generate downforce, but also offer an increased feeling of stability and take the R1s look one step closer to the modern MotoGP style without compromising the streamlined and evocative R1 design. NEW GENERATION KYB FRONT FORK The R1 RACEs new 43mm KYB inverted front forks have been fully re-designed and now feature individual adjusters for rebound and compression damping on the left and right fork tubes. Each can be adjusted individually, with the right tube for rebound damping and the left for compression, both high-speed and low-speed. Each fork leg now features a base valve, designed to optimise pressure in the cylinder by limiting or entirely preventing oil from flowing into the bottom of the fork. This new lay-out results in an improved damping response, enhanced contact feeling and better all-round stability. A new Kashima coating darkens the gold/bronze colour with true performance aesthetics. RACE-DERIVED BREMBO BRAKING PERFORMANCE To enhance the R1s track capability, the R1 RACE is fitted with an entirely new front braking system consisting of a Brembo master cylinder and Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers. Responsive and high performing, these new brakes take the R1s stopping power to the next level. The radial master cylinder features a piston which moves in a direction parallel to the brake lever travel, applying pressure in a linear manner as the rider pulls the lever resulting in a refined feeling of control. The lightweight Stylema calipers produce their stopping power through four 30mm pistons and are designed to allow an optimised air flow for efficient cooling, reducing brake fade on track. REVISED SEAT OFFERS IMPROVED RIDING EXPERIENCE Racing is all about finding those extra tenths on track, so engineers are looking for performance gains in all areas. For this reason, the R1 RACE features an all-new seat cover material with a new texture, which offers greater grip while still allowing the rider to shift their weight easily. In cornering, this helps the rider feel more connected to their R1 and adds to the feeling of stability from the chassis. PROVEN CP4 ENGINE The renowned 998cc CP4 engine, with its uneven 270o-180o-90o-180o firing sequence delivers strong, linear torque. Featuring a high-efficiency intake system along with specially designed finger-follower rocker arms, this race-developed engine delivers optimal track performance. The engine, derived from Yamahas YZR-M1 MotoGP machine, produces 200PS with a strong connection between the throttle and the rear wheel, making the R1 controllable and intuitive to ride. YAMAHA CHIP CONTROLLED THROTTLE (YCC-T) WITH APSG The R1 RACE is equipped with the proven Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), which continues to utilise an Accelerator Position Sensor Grip (APSG) ride-by-wire unit which is both lightweight and provides the rider with excellent throttle feeling. The APSG is comprised of a spring, slider and gear to produce various degrees of resistance, replicating the natural and progressive throttle feel offered by a traditional cable. SOPHISTICATED RACE-DEVELOPED ELECTRONICS PACKAGE The R1 was one of the first motorcycles to feature MotoGP derived intelligence in the form of a 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). Equipped with gyro and Gforce sensors which monitor pitch, roll and yaw as well as an accelerometer to measure fore-aft, up-down and left-right acceleration the IMU transmits machine status data 125 times per second to the ECU, which controls the R1s sophisticated electronic rider aids including Traction Control (TCS), Slide Control (SCS), Brake Control (BC), Lift Control (LIF), Launch Control (LCS) and a three-mode Engine Brake Management (EBM). On top of this, the R1 RACE also features Yamahas Quickshift System (QSS) and Power selection modes (PWR).

For over a decade, the GYTR accessories have been strategically developed with speed in mind by the same result-hungry engineers responsible for Yamahas reputation for racing success. This includes the team behind Yamahas championship-winning efforts in both the Superbike World Championship and EWC. Offering optimised and balanced performance, each R1 GYTR is built and delivered by one of Yamahas specialist GYTR PRO Shops to meet FIM Superstock 1000 regulations. Designed to offer the essential base for racing, the R1 GYTR can be further customised to meet each individual riders needs as they strive for the next level of superbike performance. Offering an improved power output across the rev range, the R1 GYTR offers refined track-focused performance for all ability levels and with a wide range of ECU adjustability, customisation to a riders feeling and specific performance targets can be more easily achieved. The ideal riding position can be enhanced through adjustable GYTR rear-sets and handlebars, while the R1 GYTRs agility is enhanced through the weight savings made by each GYTR component. The carbon-reinforced fibre glass lightweight and aerodynamic GYTR race cowl, including the new winglets, is available in black primer, and also includes a GYTR decal set, while a racing seat further enhances the riders manoeuvrability on the bike. Enhanced, race-level braking performance is offered with the pairing of the new Brembo Stylema calipers with Z04 racing pads, with the connection refined further with the R1 GYTR brake lines. Equipped with the GYTR Racing ECU and racing wiring harness, the R1 GYTR is a refined, track-focused weapon.

The bike is out in all weathers training new motorcyclists and has been ultra reliable says Neil. Ideal Training have been pivotal for so many motorcyclists in Hull and surrounding areas and most riders have used them or know about the team and theirexpertise. Many new riders are surprised to see a 1000cc MT-10 as the instructors dailyride, but Neil has made the bike work and says it's a great bike for the job. 5-WAYS Motorcycles, we have worked with Ideal for many years and supplied them with a number of bikes, but even we were surprised when the order came in. Tim Robinson, Director of 5-Ways said: "We are always proud to be linked with this populartraining schooland the fact that this Yamaha has now done over 50,000 miles around Hull and surrounding areasis just another testament to how good Yamaha's products really are. Neil has been at the heart of Ideal and has trained and accompanied many of us on our lessons on his Yamaha MT-10 which was bought new from us here at 5-WAYS Motorcycles in June 2019 and having ticked over the 50,000 is another example of Neil's professionalism, he does alot of miles in the saddle, but still finds time to maintain his bikes for the next journey. We have also recently supplied Ideal with some new Kawasaki Z125's to further encourage new riders to get on the road, on brand new, reliable modern bikes.

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-tracer-900gt-review One of the bikes I have taken an interest in over the last year is the Yamaha Tracer 900GT+. With an 890cc, three-cylinder four stroke OHC, delivering 119PS the hype over the CP3 engine, in its tenth year of existence has been tangible.Everyone has praised this engine in the media and its versatility is also exploited by Yamaha in the XSR900, MT-09, Tracer 900/GT and the recently released Heritage XSR900GP. Wrapped in a beam frame, used throughout the range as well, with a weight of 220kg the platform is, like the engine, versatile as well. A consideration for my next bike, I really needed to test ride this one to elevate its standing in my search or remove it from the race! A lovely sunny free afternoon saw me at 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre, Hull.A quick chat with Tim, and I had the keys to the demonstrator Tracer 900GT+ in my hands.Out to the bike park and kitted up I see the demo bike resplendent in Power Grey colourways. A handsome looking bike, with a pseudo adventure bike style, three quarter fairing. The gold accent on the fairing nicely compliments the adjustable gold KYB forks. These forks work as part of the radar system (adaptive cruise control) and the Yamaha unified brake system, but more about that later! The Tracer 900GT+ has a very clear TFT screen which gives access to several modes and full connectivity. The display gives a wealth of information and is navigated with a joystick on the left bar cluster. It isnt as intuitive as some other manufacturers systems, but no doubt becomes better as you get used to the bike as an owner. Swinging my leg over the saddle it feels like a tall bike, although the height is a conservative 810mm-825mm, it feels taller due to the width of the saddle, leading to the extra leg -spread. It isnt ungainly, just not flat footed for my leg length. The saddle is very firm but comfortable. Firing up the engine it makes a pleasant revvie noise from the under-engine exhaust. Into first gear and out of the yard into traffic.Pulling up at the first set of lights the brakes have a firm neutral feel.The demo model doesnt have the capacious but oddly shaped, panniers fitted, and it is a narrow machine which filters easily through Hulls near stationary traffic. Out onto the A63 dual carriageway, I select cruise control and set it at 70mph. The adaptive cruise control matches the speed of vehicles ahead and slows the Tracer to match traffic. At 70mph I elected to remain in lane one as there was a lorry travelling at its maximum speed of 56mph.As I approached the lorry the Tracer slowed in a very controlled way to match the speed and maintain a safety bubble of around 2 seconds (the distance can be set to the riders preference).No discernible braking, just smooth and controlled slowing. Very impressed! Pulling out of lane one the Tracer immediately, but still smoothly, accelerates back to the set 70mph. The unified brake system works in conjunction with this and has an assist if it detects you arent braking firmly enough when closing in on traffic.I didnt test this aspect! Peeling off the main road in search of some twisties the handling is impressive. Out into the more rural roads, I remember there is a quick shifter as standard on the Tracer. A bit of a clich but it really is buttery smooth, both up the box and down. The most impressive shifter I have experienced. I have dubbed it a slick-shifter as it is so good! Handling on back roads shows the sporty heritage of the Tracer 900GT+ as it holds a line well and responds to counter steer input in a confidence inspiring neutral way.The engine. It performs well, has plenty of power and picks up through the gears in a positive way. However, I find it a lively engine, which for me, doesnt seem to match the Tracer 900GT+ character and touring pretentions. It seems busy and I find I cant gel with it. A real shame as the engine has had such great reviews. Perhaps its the nature of triples? I couldnt get on with Triumphs triple offerings in the past, so maybe its just me. Overall, a well-equipped and very capable bike. Comfortable, but my wrists started to ache during the hour I was riding, which surprised me, as I didnt feel canted forward. The screen was effectively adjustable on the move but did feel very flimsy. The technology on it is fantastic, I thought the radar was a bit of a gimmick and would be crude, however, it proved me wrong, and the system is brilliant I would have it fitted to any bike if it were possible! The itch is scratched, and it isnt the bike for me. With its sports heritage, it would suit a rider wanting to come from sports bikes to more sit up and ride touring bikes, still retaining pin sharp handling from the excellent chassis combined with a willing sporty triple engine.

Marketed as the RE - Road Explorer, whereas the DE is the Dual sport Explorer (Dirt Edition!) It is effectively the road version of the DE, with cast wheels instead of wire spoke and a 19 front wheel rather than the 21 of the DE. Suspension travel is reduced compared with the DE giving the bike a lot lower profile and reducing the overall height to 825mm and a weight of 223 kilos. The handlebars are lower than the DE canting the rider slightly more forward, but not to the extent of putting pressure on the wrists. Shared elements with the DE are the frame and most of the body work. Fly screens are different with the RE having a larger screen both height and widthwise. The RE has a nice stance, although does sit a little low at the front for my liking, exaggerating the beak, albeit very similar to its sibling DEs front end. The lower suspension and 19 front wheel creating this effect. Swinging my leg over the RE, the saddle is extremely comfortable, wide enough to support and the foam being firm enough to compliment that support. I rode the machine for an hour with no moving around to relieve any pressure, unlike my own Africa Twin which is like a plank! Feet are virtually flat on the floor which, given the saddle width, is surprising. The fairing seems a long way from me, and quite low. It makes the bike seem long for some reason. Firing up the engine the exhaust gives a nice, if muted, soundtrack. Revving it gives a nice tone. The gear box slips happily into the first of its six speeds with no drama and the clutch, a little on the heavy side but not requiring Mr Universe levels of effort. As the ride developed, I never gave this a second though, so maybe it was just having ridden a very light clutched bike before? Quite a long travel to the biting point, but engagement is smooth and predictable. Pulling out into traffic from 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre, Hull, the engine spins up nicely and pulls me safely across the carriageway with purpose. Braking for the traffic lights, the front brake has tremendous feedback, firm and progressive, to the point of being sharp. Confidence in the DE is immediately there. Working my way through city centre traffic and backed up jams, I get a feel for its slow speed manoeuvrability and once Ive got my head round the way it delivers power and its dimensions, I find it easy to filter. For a 200+kilo bike it doesnt feel heavy or cumbersome. Out onto the A63 dual carriageway at NSL the pick-up is phenomenal! I feel a very slight vibration around 6-7k revs, but this is the only time I notice it throughout the ride. Gear shifts are slick with the quick shifter going up the box. Butter smooth but not quite so slick down the box. As good as Yamaha on the upshift, but not as smooth down. Still not bad though. The wind protection at the national speed limit is very good. No excessive wind noise or buffeting, and no noticeable pressure on shoulders or body. It is a very nice place to be! The power delivery is silky, and it has a real punch to it. Braking to come off the A63, slipping into traffic in the first lane and the brakes are superb, lovely and progressive, loads of feel and they feel so well sorted. Onto the back roads of East Yorkshire and the chassis shows itself to be another class act. It is almost a think about it and its happened it is so responsive. It holds every line really well the tyres obviously working really well in conjunction with the chassis. Combined with the 800 twin engine which just keeps on delivering no matter what is asked of it, it is a sublime package. It just rides so well! Following a new style Defender in black with blacked out windows and an attitude and another SUV, we wait turn right off a main (country) road. The Defender and I have to wait for another car on the opposite carriageway as the first car turns and accelerates into the minor road. Nothing oncoming as we turn into the minor road I go onto the right side of the road to get past the Defender who decides its race time. As I am halfway past the driver floors the accelerator to prevent me overtaking him as we close in on the other SUV. As the road is still clear, there is no safety issue, just a question mark over the mentality of the Defender pilot! I open the REs throttle and slick-shift through the gears as I get out of the no-mans land Ive been left in. The turbo phallus is outgunned by the little Suzuki as I pass the other SUV. I look at the speedo on the simple and clear TFT screen and see the speed limit is reached in fourth gear and as I look in the huge handlebar mounted mirrors, I see a huge cloud of black diesel smoke from the Defender. It was just an overtake, but the ego in the Defender just didnt want a little blue bike overtaking him. Pathetic! I settle into a lovely rhythm as the 800RE just hugs every corner, gripping well and complimenting the input it receives. The feel is unbelievable, and the chassis keeps feeding back. This really is a great bike. I make my way back to the outskirts of the city and into urban traffic. Again, in this environment the 800RE simply delivers. The gearing is excellent for these roads (as it was for the country roads) and I am actually giddy with excitement as I return to 5-Ways. I have not felt this excited after a ride for many years. It is a fantastic bike I realise I am running out of superlatives but I am SO impressed. Please dont test ride one. It will cost you money. No, it really will, you will want to own one and ride around England, Scotland, Wales and Europe! Whether you sign for a RE, DE, 8S or 8R, based on the engine performance, you will not be disappointed and WILL embarrass riders of larger capacity machines. The power delivery works through the range, the chassis and suspension just work and make the bike nimble. It will eat up whatever is thrown at it. Suzuki have really hit the sweet spot with the V-Strom 800RE. Mega! As I write this I am still buzzing Currently retailing at 9699, with 4.9% finance.

LATEST NEWS Wed, 31 Jul 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-introduce-game-changing-mt-09 EXPERIENCE THE MT-09 LIKE NEVER BEFORE WITH NEW Y-AMT A MORE IMMERSIVE RIDING EXPERIENCE Yamahas original MT-09 rewrote the rulebook when it came to middleweight naked motorcycles and now comes an equally revolutionary machine, developed to deliver the next level in sports riding and create a unique symbiosis between rider and machine the MT-09 Y-AMT.SRP- 10,656 OTR The first-generation MT-09 brought pure emotion and excitement back to the world of motorcycling when it was introduced a decade ago, kick-starting a Hyper Naked revolution which would change everything. INTRODUCING THE MT-09 Y-AMT The Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT has been developed around the high-performance MT-09 platform, showcasing both the outstanding dynamics of the base machine and Yamahas new transmission technology. Featuring the same critically acclaimed 890cc CP3 three-cylinder engine as the newly launched MT-09, the MT-09 Y-AMT is the first motorcycle to incorporate the Yamaha Automated Manual Transmission. Retaining all the qualities which make the MT-09 a class leader, the MT-09 Y-AMT combines the standard machines agile handling and feisty performance with a transformational transmission system which allows the rider to choose between a finger-operated manual transmission, offering an even more engaged riding experience, and the pure convenience of a fully automatic gear change. The clutch and gear shift operation are each actuated by an electric motor, eliminating the need for both the traditional clutch lever and a foot operated gear shifter, allowing the rider to better focus on their riding flow. The MT-09 Y-AMTs manual transmission (MT) offers a completely new way in which to experience the thrill of Yamahas acclaimed CP3 motor. With a closer and more refined connection to the brain than the feet, the hands are one of the most tactile and powerful tools the human body has. Shifting by hand alone, as opposed to a foot-and-hand combination, is not only quicker, but requires less thinking time, allowing the rider to hyper-focus on throttle and brake application, lean angle, body position and tyre grip levels to intensify the ride, especially in cornering. MT has been developed with sporty riding in mind, allowing for quicker and more consistent changes as the rider looks to extract every degree of performance. Gear changes are activated through a tactile see-saw switch placed conveniently at the riders left-hand fingertips. Riders can either use their thumb and index finger to upshift with the plus lever, and downshift with the minus lever, or opt for a single-finger operation for sportier riding, using only the index finger to shift by pulling the plus lever to shift up, and pushing it to shift down for the ultimate sporty ride. With no clutch to operate, the rider can more easily time their gear shifts while focusing on their lines and other controls. With no traditionally mounted shift pedal, the rider is also better able to position their lower body through turns providing an excellent sense of stability while cornering and creating an even more reassuring connection with the motorcycle. At standstill and low speeds, the Y-AMT system controls the clutch and gearbox operation making the machine easier to control when moving off, performing manoeuvres and in heavy traffic. The system completely takes over gear shifting functions when in one of the two AT modes, but can be overridden using the see saw lever. The D+ mode unleashes the CP3 motors famous character, maintaining higher revs for longer as it changes up and down through the six-speed transmission. Alternatively, D mode delivers a softer and more confidence-inspiring fully automated gear shift to aid low speed and urban riding, ideal for commuting and on journeys where the rider wants to enjoy a more relaxing ride. Where previous generations of automatic gearboxes may have been aimed only at comfort and convenience, Y-AMT prides itself in enhancing the torquey and agile nature of the MT-09 delivering a more engaging experience for riders. Toggling between MT and AT modes is easy and can be done on the move by activating the button on the right-hand switchgear, allowing the rider to transform the nature of the MT-09 Y-AMT in a heartbeat. 2024 MT-09 Y-AMT: EXCLUSIVE TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS Manual shifting via finger-operated see-saw switch Automated clutch and gear shift actuated by electric motor Two automatic shift modes: D+ and D Smart Key System 2024 MT-09 & MT-09 Y-AMT: SHARED TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS Sharp and compact looks including re-designed bi-functional LED headlight 5 full colour TFT screen with smartphone connectivity and navigation Customisable riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) settings Modify YRC settings via smartphone with MyRide app Engaged riding position Separated passenger seat unit Precise formed fuel tank Acoustic amplifier grille Latest 890cc, three-cylinder, four-valve DOHC liquid-cooled, EU5+ CP3 engine Six-axis IMU with full suite of lean sensitive rider aids Cruise control Brembo radial master cylinder Lightweight CF aluminium die-cast frame Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 M tyres Yamahas SpinForged wheels for agile handling Adjustable suspension for enhanced sports riding Adjustable brake lever SRP- 10,656 OTR The new MT-09 Y-AMT, as well as its 35 kW (A2 licence) version will be available with three colour options: Tech Black, Midnight Cyan and Icon Blue.

Fitment is key when racing, and leather one-piece suits are not for everyone, but we can also exchange this for a two-piece leather suit, with an Airbag leather jacket if needed, or requested by the rider, this would only allow the rider to ride track days.

WHAT'S INCLUDED - THE BREAKDOWN. ARAI RX-7V EVO 'Setting the Standard' The RX-7 has always been the benchmark of Arais motorcycle racing R&D at the very highest level. Handmade in Japan by a three-generation family company of riders, it is Arais state-of-the-art helmet. Head protection means managing impact energy. Many understand it to be about absorbing energy, but we believe thats just one part of impact energy management. The lower the impact energy, the less needs to be absorbed. Arai does that by making rounder, smoother and stronger outer shells to improve Glancing Off performance and reduce impact energy transferring into the helmet. This is unique to Arai and our core philosophy. RST Pro Series EVO Airbag The Pro Series Evo is an evolution of the 2021 Pro Series Suit, the perfect choice for track days. The Pro Series Evo is cut less aggressively than the V4.1. Certified to Level AAA, the Pro Series Evo uses stretch motion panels to allow for the safe deployment of In&Motions new essential airbag system. Featuring a removable lining and complete with a range of striking colours - you will not go unnoticed on the track. RST TracTech Evo 4 glove Combiningthe best of previous TracTech gloves with more features for a superb fit, comfort and protection. Made with both full-grain cowhide and kangaroo leather, the glove features a Carbon Knuckle Protector for impact protection. Aramid Fibre on the palm stitching and underlay, along with double-layer kangaroo leather and an RST palm slider protect the palm in the event of a high-speed slide, while the double wrist and cuff closure offer a secure fit. Aramid Fibre lining throughout the rest of the glove prevents tearing and elasticated conjoined fingers to prevent finger roll without affecting reach or flexibility when changing gear. RST Tractech Evo 3 Boot Designed for comfort and safety, the TracTech Evo III boot has been developed with countless hours on the road and track. The boot is CE Certified to Level 2/2/2/1, one of the highest levels of protection, and features a moulded TPU heel cockpit and TPU shin armour as standard, offering unrivalled impact protection.

Fri, 31 May 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/abr-festival-28-30th-june The Festival, according to ABR's founder and Publisher Alun Davies How ABR Started The ABR brand was launched as a magazine in 2009 for three reasons. First and foremost was my lifelong passion for motorcycles and travel coupled with a determination to have a job that involved both. Secondly, in 2009 there was a huge, gaping hole in the UK motorcycle media for a magazine that focused on the booming adventure bike sector. And thirdly, Id just had a serious motorcycle accident in Spain that put a stop to my other passion for climbing mountains. The plus side of wiping out on that rocky trail in Andalucia was all the free time that comes with having a bust-up arm, foot and leg. And what better use of that recovery time than to plan, set up, and launch ABR magazine. That was back in 2009, and since then when we combine the magazine, website and social media, ABR has grown to become the largest adventure bike community in the world. Not the outcome I expected as I lay prone and in agony on that Spanish mountain trail, but one Ill happily accept. The First ABR Festival So, whats the big idea with the ABR Festival? Well, its like this Wed been hosting small ABR Festivals in random fields near Stratford upon Avon for many a year. At most, wed have a hundred riders and on a few occasions we ended up cooking burgers for everyone who attended when the catering van decided he had somewhere better to be. Those early festivals were great times and essentially just a bunch of like-minded bikers and friends getting together for a weekend of riding, kicking tyres, and having a good time. It didnt matter what bike you had, no one cared if you were a novice or expert or if your adventures had been in the UK or on the Mongolian Steppe. The only requirement was that you enjoyed the weekend. ABR Festival Started To Grow Over time, the ABR Festival grew organically to the point where we had 500 people turning up. In festival terms, 500 is the magic number as, once you go above that, it gets serious and all manner of local authority rules, regulations, and laws apply. In other words, thats desks full of paperwork, legal meetings, council committees, and Im sure you get the message. To highlight and put a fine point on the level of change, just the security bill for the 2022 Festival was 70,000. But you know what, I still cant think of anything else Id rather do. Anyway, if we were to go big then I was determined to carry on with the bunch of mates in a field spirit but also to host a festival which would celebrate the passion for motorcycles that binds us together and also pay respect to you, the rider. Three Pillars of the Festival With that in mind, I decided that the founding three pillars of the ABR Festival would be: Venue, Toilets, Value. Ill explain I was determined to find us a magnificent venue that we could all be proud of calling home. Ragley Hall does not come cheap, but in my opinion, there is no finer place to host a festival in the UK. It is a grand setting that pays respect to motorcycles, the industry, and rider. I dont know about you, but my overriding memory of younger days attending festivals was the dread involved when visiting the toilets. With that in mind, I was determined that we would always have posh toilets, plenty of them, and that they would be regularly cleaned. And thats what we do. Thirdly, what really annoys me when I attend a festival, is when you cant get a pint for a decent price. I understand there are big costs involved in running a festival, but dont take the piss. And so, pillar number three is that we will always have reasonably priced pints of beer. To sum up; a magnificent venue, posh, clean toilets, and you can get a pint for 3.50. Thats my idea of respect to you.

Proudly displayed in the centre of 5-Ways Motorcycle Centres Clothing Department, my attention was immediately drawn to its unique styling.It is reminiscent of their mid-90s race suits which had offset zipper to aid getting into them! The Alpinestars Halo DS has the astar branding across the front centre panel, boldly printed in a reflective silver against the black Cordura chassis of the jacket. There are also reflective silver patches at the shoulder. An Alpinestars legend is printed on the rear shoulders, but this does disappear due to one of the features! There is no central zipper. This is offset to the right of the jacket (when worn) and is a heavy nylon YKK item. It is covered by a storm flap and additional press studs at the shoulder. Getting it fastened is a bit of a faff initially, being offset. but just needs practice to get used to it. Checking the features of this jacket it is bristling with innovation. The jackets special features I will explain after covering the standard stuff! I am advised to remove the waterproof liner which pop fastens into the jacket at the neck, cuffs and both left and right at the waist. The waterproof liner is also an outer jacket, it is black with flouro yellow panels clearly meant for the outside but has the option of being a liner as presented. The rear of the jacket has a large map pocket that will easily store the liner, zipped either side for access. There is also another pouch on the outside of the map pocket which is made of an elasticated material for further storage (waterproof over pants?). This has a large Astars logo in reflective print. Whilst I am talking about storage, To the front there are two large pockets which have a fold over top, secured by hook & loop and press studs. There is no waterproof symbol, but the material and design would indicate there may be some level of proofing. Additionally, there is hoody style zipped front pouch (zips are either side) and where the Astars logo is there is also a fold over kangaroo pouch, secured with hook & loop and press studs. Behind all this there is an internal waterproof jacket once the jacket is unzipped. There is ample adjustment at the cuffs with a hook & loop flap. The forearm has a belt style hook & loop adjuster and two position studs at the upper arm to get a snug fit. There is no adjuster at the neck, which has a neoprene comfort edge to it. The front of the neck has a storm flap, which forms part of one of the unique features. These start with two zips which run from the mid chest to the neck at an angle roughly forming a V. Unfastening these zips (downwards) and unfastening the hook & loop attaching the collar to the storm flap results in the panel opening, revealing a mesh panel. There is a similar arrangement on the back of the jacket that functions in the same fashion. Both panels fold away into the body of the jackets and are secured with two press studs, presumably to stop the flapping around when riding. This venting will allow airflow in warm conditions. However once fitted with a back protector and chest protector, there are panels internally to fit them, this function may not be as effective! There is a mesh type material under the armpit area and inner arm. The remainder of the chassis of the jacket is a mix of heavy duty nylon and rip-stop material. In the form described the jacket attracts a Class AA safety rating. However, one of the jackets tricks is that the sleeves can be removed as they are zipped onto the main chassis at the shoulder. When removed the main chassis has a gilet look to it but has further air-flowing mesh sleeves which are built into the main jacket. With the sleeves removed the jacket becomes Class A. The sleeves have Nucleon Flex Pro armour built into the elbow, and shoulders, flexible level 2 armour. There is a built-in inner belt to secure the jacket snugly to the body, and a full zip to attach to suitable riding pants. As a jacket for all seasons, it lacks a thermal liner but with the mesh material used throughout its construction, the removable sleeves and drop down panels front and back it would certainly make an appealing touring or adventure jacket, and when combined with the Alpinestars Drystar internal/external waterproof weather shouldnt be a problem! 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre have this new jacket on sale at a reasonable 449.99 considering its features and flexibility. Alpinestars Halo DS Pants I noticed also that 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre also had the matching pants! Made out of a ripstop type Cordura/nylon the same as the main chassis of the jacket. With a breathable mesh around the crotch and to the whole rear of the pants. A matching full waist zip to attach to the Halo DS jacket will create a suit that wont ride. The pants have removeable braces, and the waist is secured by zip, press stud and clip. A hook & loop internal adjuster should securely hold the pants on the hips. A similar venting system to the jacket. on the thigh top has two sips creating a V shaped panel which folds down from the groin to the knee revealing air-flow mesh. Like the jacket, these panels tuck in, in this case down the shins. Adjustment at the ankle is a hook & loop tab and a belt type adjuster on the calf made of the same material. Two good size pockets on the hip are cargo style and have reflective material in the same style as the jacket. The pockets are secured with hook & loop and a press stud with a weather flap over the top. Whilst there is no grippy material on the seat of the pants there is a leather panel inside the knee which will help gripping the tank. The pants come with a Drystar liner/over trouser which press studs to the waist at three points internally. Again, like the jacket, the waterproof inners are best used as over trousers to keep the whole kit dry. Like the jacket the waterproofs are lined so they slip on easily and whilst only elasticated at the waist, the ankles have zips to help pull over boots. There are reflective panels on the hips. The pants are Class AA rated and fitted with CE level 2 Nucleon Flex Pro armour at the hip and knee. 5-Ways Motorcycle centre have the full range of sizes available and they are competitively priced at 329.99, which, like the jacket isnt expensive considering the flexibility of the system. Tue, 19 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/docbike The DocBike charity combines a highly qualified (consultant-level) doctor or critical care paramedic with two wheels to reduce deaths and seriousinjurieson our roads due to motorcycle collisions. Wherever possible, this doctor or paramedic also works on the local air ambulance. It is part of theireverydayjob, to treat and save the most severely injured and sick patients and help them to reach the hospital alive. When motorcyclists are involved in a collision, often the injuries arecatastrophic,and no amount of medical care can save a persons life.This is whya lot of theDocBikecharitys time is invested in preventing motorcyclists from being in a collision in the first place.OurWhat We Dosection explains more. Working together with emergency services all across the UK,it is our aim to have aDocBikeassociated with every air ambulancecharityaroundthe country. We are a new charity, but the enthusiasm of local bikers, colleagues in the Emergency Services and other agencies throughout the UK means that we are expanding rapidly. Our Meet the Teamssection will tell you more about your local group. If a DocBike doesnt currently exist in your area, you can find out more information on how toGet a DocBike in your Area. On average, six motorcyclists are killed and nearly 100 are seriously injured every week in the UK. Over 19,000 motorcyclists are injured on our roads each year. Because of the forces involvedwhen a motorcyclist is involved in a collision, their injuries areoftencatastrophic, or fatal. Our pilot research over a two-year period in Dorset showed that around 80% of those motorcyclists who were critically injured or killed, could have avoided being in a collision, had they modified their riding when recognising risks taught by further riderskillscourses. Its this awareness of why motorcyclists crash that we can give to motorcyclists to keep them from being involved in a collision. Tue, 19 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/arai-tour-x5-review-chris-hood Standing in 5-Ways Motorcycle Centre, one of my favourite motorbike shops, in the upstairs mezzanine Clothing Department, my eyes are drawn to the latest version of the Arai Tour X range, the Tour-X5, which was launched in late 2023. I had visited the NEC Motorcycle Live event in November as the helmet was being released to dealerships to have a look and try on, but unfortunately a quick look at the colourways was all I got the chance to do. Tummy rumbling, I decided to get a bite to eat and when I returned the stand had been packed away! Trips down to Croatia, a couple of family holidays and Christmas, then the doldrums of winter put my curiosity on the back burner. So now, here I am, sat looking at that topic of my envy six months ago. 5-WaysMotorcycle Centre in Hull have a selection of three colourways on display. Those eyes are not only drawn into the Arai Tour-X5, but they focus on the Cosmic Red which is the display model for XL. Not my size! The other colours are Adventure Grey and Diamond White which proudly displays M for medium my size. I tentatively remove the helmet from its display stand and immediately the quality of Arai product is apparent. I do the fingernail tap test (doesnt everyone?) and it sounds good, sounds quality, the composite shell, even at this stage has a reassuring quality feel to it. There is a good selection of Arai Tour-X4 on display nearby, and I have to compare them, side by side. The Tour-X5 is the direct replacement for the Tour-X4 the latter now now heavily discounted at 5-Ways. Apart from being a new model the Tour-X5 is certified to CE 22-06, the latest requirement for motorcycle helmets. The older model is certified to CE 22-05, but Arai have always tested their helmets in-house beyond the certification required, so it is a fantastic value for money product at the discounted price, particularly if you like the older colour schemes. Looking at them side by side, the immediate difference is the peak attachment. The Tour-X5 peak sits a lot higher than the old model. The chin venting on the new model is also larger and lacks the mesh vents along the sides of the chin bar. The visor looks very similar in size but the Tour-X5 no longer has the brow vents in it. Venting on the Tour-X5 is now built into the Arai logo mid forehead and is open/close, nothing intermediate, replacing the two vents on the X4. Exhaust venting built into the rear spoiler has three setting, closed, half and fully open. Two additional constantly open vents on the bottom rear of the helmet ensure airflow at all times I imagine. The Diamond White finish grows on me as it has real depth and a slight metal flake (not 1980s style!) mixed into the paint. All the vent operations are reassuringly positive and should be big enough to operate and adjust with gloved hands. Visor operation is smooth which should allow for infinite adjustment on the move but has two soft clicks between fully closed and fully open. When fully open the aperture is huge and will easily accommodate the Oakley O Frame motocross goggles which are on a nearby stand. The interior of the helmet is plush, finished in the usual Arai blue. The orange pad release tabs are obvious but unobtrusive and flank the pull down chin curtain built into the chin bar. Pulling the Tour-X5 on it slides reassuringly over my head. The skull cap lining moves slightly within the helmet and settles very comfortably. My hamster cheeks appear as the cheek pads hold the helmet very securely. I am surprised by the field of view, with barely any of the helmet aperture coming into my sight. Really impressive field of vision. The helmet is secured with a double-D system, as are all the Arai range, and the loose end is secured with a press stud. It has to be said, the fit, for me, is excellent and my wallet is screaming. Step away from the Arai Tour-X5 - NOW! This going to be a difficult one. Wandering around 5-Ways with the Tour-X5 on my bonce the comfort doesnt diminish. This is a comfortable helmet. Adventure helmets never feel as secure as Race/Tour helmets, but this is very close! The aforementioned peak is also removable, making the Tour-X5 a good looking road lid, almost street looking. The Tour-X5 is definitely on my list for my next helmet well worth a try on. Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/2024-mt-09-review Ten years on from the release of the original MT-09, the purest Hyper Naked reaches new levels of Darkness. Combining intelligence and style, the next generation offers an even more thrilling ride and pure adrenaline, with aggressive and edgy styling and a premium specification featuring the latest technology. The first MT-09 unveiled a decade ago, brought pure emotion and excitement back to the world of motorcycling, kick-starting the Hyper Naked revolution that would change everything. A radical new machine with high torque and a super agile chassis: this is a bike like no other. The combination of the torque-rich CP3 motor and aggressive bodywork makes the MT-09 one of the most formidable forces in Yamaha's range. UNLEASH YOUR DARKNESS Infused with Dark Side of Japan DNA, the MT-09's aggressive new look is designed to amplify the feeling of the CP3's iconic torque-rich acceleration. Embodying a 'less is more' approach, each and every detail is intended to reinforce the MT-09's aggressive style. A compact and agile chassis results in razor sharp handling, while a redefined riding position delivers the most heightened and engaged riding experience in the Hyper Naked range. Next level technology further enhances the riding experience, including lean-sensitive rider aids, customisable riding modes and an all-new full colour TFT dashboard featuring smartphone connectivity and navigation. Chris from BIKE WORLD has released his review of the 2024 Yamaha MT-09 and has some great things to say about the updated version. See his review in the video below.

On the night of March 24, 1944, and into the early hours of the next morning, 76 allied airmen from the German Prisoner of War camp, the Stalag Luft III, made their way along the tunnel codenamed Harry, one of three tunnels codenamed Tom, Dick and Harry that had been excavated in secret over the prior 15 months. Led by RAF officer, Squadron Leader Roger Bushell, two hundred men were initially chosen to crawl to freedom, however only 76 made it out as the 76th man was crawling towards the woods, he was spotted by a German guard. Unfortunately, all but three escapers were re-captured and 50 were ordered to be executed by Hitler, who was enraged by the scale and the audacity of the escape. Twenty-eight of the fifty executed were members of Bomber Command and are remembered on the IBCC memorial walls. The Hollywood blockbuster film, The Great Escape was released in 1963 and was loosely based on this true story. The film is widely considered a classic and known for the direction by John Sturges and for a cast that included Steve McQueen in one of his defining roles. His role as the cooler king Virgil Hilts is still best remembered for THAT motorcycle jump scene across a 12ft tall, barbed wire fence on a Triumph TR6 650 Special! That motorcycle jump is one of the most famous film scenes of all time and is the link to our motorcycle event, InSpireRide2024, on Sunday 19thMay 2024 at the International Bomber Command Centre, Lincoln.

Easy to ride, agile, and comfortable, itll satisfy riders enjoying spirited rides on their favourite country roads or those wanting to show their sporting credentials when in town, and appeal to a range of ages and experience levels. It becomes the latest new model from Suzuki to utilise the new 776cc, parallel twin cylinder engine with its 270 crankshaft configuration, with common features shared with the new-for-2023 GSX-8S, including a steel frame designed to contribute straight-line stability and agile handling and separate aluminium subframe, cast aluminium wheels, and dual, radially mounted front calipers. However, key component changes - such as lower handlebars and a full fairing, plus suspension from Showa - give the GSX-8R a sportier poise, while the chassis and flexible, free-revving engine characteristics mean riders can tap into its full potential for maximum enjoyment. Its sporting prowess is further emphasised by GSX-R-inspired bodywork that gives it an aggressive, purposeful look. The new standard of sport Designed using the product concept of the new standard of sport, the GSX-8R was created to combine practical, usable, real world performance with rider-friendly controllability and ease of use. It has the ability to excite riders of greater experience and skill levels, while newer riders can step up to a larger machine with confidence. This is achieved thanks to its parallel twin engine layout and power delivery characteristics, its supporting electronics package, and chassis design. The GSX-8R uses a thoroughly modern design expression that celebrates functional beauty backed by exciting, yet forgiving, performance. The sharp lines of its advanced styling are about to set the trend for an exciting new generation of Suzuki sportsbikes. With features including separate forged aluminium handlebars, uniquely shaped aluminium swingarm, inverted Showa front forks, dual front disc brakes with four-piston, radial-mounted calipers, LED lighting and colour TFT instrument panel, and an advanced electronic control system that includes Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, Suzuki Traction Control System, a bi-directional quickshifter and a ride-by-wire electronic throttle, the GSX- 8R is a sportsbike set to lead the way toward an exciting new era. Engineered for a new era of sportsbike performance A new engine for a new era of sportsbikes, the new GSX-8R uses Suzukis new parallel twin engine, which delivers torque in abundance across the rev range, provides an exciting character and feeling thanks to its 270-degree crankshaft design, and enables a slim chassis design thanks to its compact layout. The parallel twin design expands the possibilities for overall design flexibility and helps realise the most effective chassis geometry for performance gains, including the optimum riding position. Suzuki also aimed to deliver dynamic performance, with a new engine focussed primarily on delivering plenty of torque to allow the GSX-8R to punch out of corners and for flexibility suited to a range of riders, all controlled by a smooth throttle response. As a result the new 776cc, DOHC, parallel twin engine with four valves per cylinder features a long-stroke configuration that delivers a fine balance of smooth, controllable power from low rpm and the pleasant feeling of free-revving performance through to the top end. The engines 270-degree crankshaft design delivers a smooth ride with plenty of torque, positive traction, and a pleasing sound. It also features the Suzuki Cross Balancer, an innovative new primary balancer design that contributes to smooth operation and helps achieve a compact and lightweight package that enhances the GSX-8Rs agile handling. The GSX-8R also adopts a short silencer design that barely rises up and out from the engines right side, enhancing the compact look. Ride-by-wire electronic throttle system An electronic throttle control system uses the ECM to control the action of the throttle valves and more finely control the relationship between throttle action and engine output characteristics. Throttle grip action is set to provide faithful response and linear control. This makes the throttle action feel more natural. The system is simpler and more compact than conventional mechanical systems and eliminates cables that would otherwise add clutter to the right side of the handlebars. Bi-directional quickshifter The bi-directional quickshifter allows riders to shift up without closing the throttle or downshift without blipping it, and eradicates the need to operate the clutch lever, also. The system automatically interrupts power delivery when accelerating and maintaining steady speed just long enough to unload the transmission gear dogs, thereby producing a smoother ride and uninterrupted acceleration when the rider shifts up. When decelerating the system automatically opens the throttle valves just enough to increase rpm and match engine speed to the next-lower gear ratio without manually blipping the throttle or using the clutch. Suzuki Easy Start System The Suzuki Easy Start System lets the rider start the motorcycle with one quick press of the starter button with no need to pull in the clutch lever when the transmission is in neutral. Low RPM Assist Suzukis Low RPM Assist function monitors engine rpm, gear position, throttle position, and clutch switch data as the rider releases the clutch lever to pull away from a standing start, or when riding at low speeds. It is programmed to help prevent engine speed from dropping excessively as the rider launches the bike to ensure smoother starts. It also promotes more confident riding by helping counteract drops in engine speed when riding in stop-and-go traffic, or when doing U-turns. Anti Lock Braking System (ABS) The antilock braking system (ABS) provides stable braking performance by helping prevent the wheels from locking up, even under hard braking. The system is programmed to monitor wheel speed and match stopping power to the available traction. The ABS control unit features a compact, lightweight design. Cast aluminium wheels and Dunlop tyres Cast aluminium wheels contribute to agile handling and visually enhance the sporty poise of the GSX-8R. Dunlop RoadSport 2 radial tyres - 120/70ZR17 at the front, 180/55ZR17 at the rear - are designed to perform optimally in all conditions and provide sure grip. The internal construction features a carcass and belt layer tuned to achieve the right level of rigidity to match the weight and performance characteristics of the GSX-8R, and to deliver the right combination of agility and stability. Dunlops proven tread pattern employs a silica compound that enhances positive grip in wet conditions and features durable wear resistance. These wheels and tyres work in harmony with the front and rear suspension settings to provide positive feedback, agile handling and neutral steering, and a plush ride. Front and rear suspension Showa SFF-BP (Separate Function Fork - Big Piston) inverted front forks allows for the elimination of the cartridge on one side and makes it possible to increase the size of the piston. The structure not only reduces weight, but also features stable damping characteristics. The link-type mono-shock at the rear, with preload adjuster, is set up to contribute to straight-line stability and a smooth, controllable ride. Fuel tank The 14 litre fuel tank is designed to deliver the right balance between riding range and slim, compact looks that add to the sporty styling of the GSX-8R. Seat designed for sports riding The riders seat is designed for sporty riding. Delivering support for the rider toward its rear edge, the seat is shaped to offer freedom of movement and is covered in a material that provides positive grip. Featuring a slim design, the smoothly rounded edges of the seat also make it easier for the rider to plant their feet on the ground when stopped. 5-inch colour TFT multi-information display The GSX-8R's 5-inch, colour TFT multi-function instrument panel features a clearly legible display of a variety of information, while also providing a high quality finish and pleasing view from the riders perspective. 8,899 8,899 8,899 Tue, 07 Nov 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/gsx-s1000gx The GSX-S1000GX joins Suzukis GSX range for 2024 and brings with it new features and technology, as it adopts the position of Suzukis crossover model as part of the GSX family. Like its stablemates - the GSX-S1000 and GSX-S1000GT - it delivers superbike-derived performance from its 999cc inline four-cylinder engine, and like the GSX-S1000GT it provides high levels of comfort, and connectivity through its colour TFT dashboard, and a premium sports touring experience. However, despite shared similarities, there are also significant differences that separate the GX and GT. Longer travel suspension gives extended front and rear wheel travel, increased ground clearance, and a more comfortable upright riding position. Furthermore, it achieves a whole new level of suspension performance by introducing Suzuki Advanced Electronic Suspension (SAES) - Suzukis first electronic suspension - and by adopting Suzukis new Suzuki Road Adaptive Stabilisation (SRAS) system. These technologies combine to make the GX comfortable and controllable on road surfaces ranging from urban asphalt and cobbled streets to country roads and motorways. The result is an exciting new crossover machine that sits comfortably between Suzukis sport tourer offering and adventure bikes. While delivering superbike levels of performance and sporty looks that distinguishes it as a member of the GSX-S series, the GX also provides long-distance touring comfort thanks to its upright riding position and equipment features. The Supreme Sport crossover The product concept of; the supreme sport crossover speaks to the GXs role in the Suzuki lineup as a new model that represents the brands vision of what a luxury crossover motorcycle should offer. This new model offers riders the versatility of a machine built to offer comfort and ease of control, while also being equally suited to responding to a riders mood when wanting to enjoy an enthusiastic, sporty run or tour long distances. -The styling embodies the concept of Suzukis first luxury crossover model. - A thoroughly modern design speaks of aggressive superbike-derived performance, blended with long-distance touring elegance and the tall, upright riding position and long-legged proportions of a crossover model. - New front cowl features a sharp nose that culminates with a compact LED headlight, with compact LED position lights running along the sides forming a sharp pair of eyes. - The contrasting colouring and upswept lines of the cowls side panels create an aggressive, yet sophisticated, look that complements the tall seating position. - Exposed side rails and gold front forks and rear suspension motor unit contrast with the blacked-out silencer and engine to emphasise the long-legged nature of the crossover design. - The lineup of three available colours were carefully selected to convey the models appeal. Comfortable upright riding position Research to find the optimum crossover touring riding position led to angling the handlebar grips 55mm closer to the rider than on the GSX-S1000GT. This allows the rider a more upright posture, which enhances comfort. The new handlebars are 50mm longer than the GT, too, and feature a 14mm wider grip placement, making them comfortable to hold and giving the rider greater control over steering with less effort required. The extended suspension travel and new seat design also lengthen the distance between the riders hip point and foot point by 15mm, which further contributes to comfort by reducing the amount of bending at the knees. The overall result is a comfortable upright riding position that is less tiring and provides greater control, whether touring long distances or heading out to enjoy a sporty run. Rear carrier with integrated grab bars The GSX-S1000GX is fitted with a practical rear carrier made of lightweight aluminium. Solid grab bars on each side provide the passenger with a firm grip but are also designed not to interfere when removing the optional side cases. Because the carrier is a key visual accent at the rear, the design underwent a number of revisions in development to achieve the desired impact and presence. Comfortable seating Both the rider and pillion seats are designed to provide maximum comfort. They also feature a sporty and attractive design. The rider seat cushion is 15mm thicker than on the GSX-S1000GT. In addition, its top surface is flatter from side to side than on the GT. This enhances comfort by increasing the area that supports the riders weight from the middle to the rear of the seat, while the seat front is tapered to provide freedom of movement when enjoying a more aggressive, sporty run. The pillion seat is also 10mm thicker than on the GT, and its firmness revised for the GX, and its top surface made 26mm wider. Wheels and tyres The lightweight, six-spoke, cast aluminium wheels feature a highly appealing design that also contributes to positive handling and sporty performance. They are shod with the latest generation of Dunlop SPORTMAX Roadsport 2 radial tyres (120/70ZR17 front, 190/50ZR17 rear). Designed to perform optimally and provide sure grip, these tyres have been fine-tuned specifically to match the weight and performance characteristics of the GX, and to deliver the right combination of agility and stability. Dunlops proven tread pattern uses a silica compound that enhances positive grip in wet conditions and features durable wear resistance Fuel tank A 19L fuel tank makes it appear compact, though its capacity combines with the engines excellent fuel efficiency to provide an extended riding range. Aerodynamics and wind protection Aerodynamics and wind protection are critically important to achieving the dynamic performance and level of comfort desired when touring for long distances on a large-displacement crossover machine. The front cowl, windscreen, and hand guards were all designed through a process that involved both wind tunnel testing and feedback from test riders. This was performed while still paying keen attention to achieving attractive styling. The goal was to maximise wind protection and make the rider more comfortable, reducing fatigue when touring for long distances at speed. 6.5-inch colour TFT multi-information display The GSX-S1000GXs instrument cluster uses a 6.5-inch colour TFT screen designed to be easy to see and understand, and to provide the rider with instant access to desired information. It achieves this, even with the comprehensive suite of electronic assist systems and other information vying for space. Developed specifically for use on motorcycles, the large display also features a scratch-resistant surface, an anti-reflective coating that improves visibility in bright light, as well as the ability to connect to smartphones. In addition to keeping the rider fully aware of all the bikes systems, settings, and real-time operating status, the TFT screen can also display maps, incoming and outgoing phone calls, contacts, and music when connected to the riders smartphone for even greater convenience, functionality, and fun. The look is one of high quality that helps instil pride of ownership.

The game-changing MT-09 broke cover in 2013, just one year after the triple-cylinder CP3 engine concept was first shown suspended in an intricate wire frame at the Cologne Motorcycle Show. The first MT-09 brought pure emotion and excitement back to the world of motorcycling, kick-starting the Hyper Naked revolution that would change everything. For 2024, Yamaha has taken the MT-09 to the next level of Darkness, combining intelligence and style, further pursuing the sharpened purity of the Dark Side of Japan. The new MT-09 offers an even more thrilling riding experience with pure adrenaline, aggressive and edgy styling and a premium specification featuring the latest in technological advancements. A Decade of the Dark Side of Japan The introduction of the MT-09 marked a step away from conventional Japanese motorcycle design and introduced a bold, abstract new direction for Yamaha inspired by the unique urban motorcycle sub-culture found on the streets of Japans largest cities. Signifying an exciting new era for Yamaha, the MT-09 featured aggressive styling, a chassis designed for the most agile handling and a torque-laden CP3 engine, with aesthetics and performance designed to stimulate the senses. Stripped of unnecessary bodywork, packed neatly into a compact aluminium frame and equipped with Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T), the MT was the perfect blend of high performance, cutting-edge technology and purposeful functionality. The new dawn was here and the Dark Side of Japan was unleashed upon the world. MT-09 10,100 OTR New MT-09: Sharper, Purer, More Refined A Slimmer, Sharper New Look The MT-09 marks its 10th anniversary with a comprehensive new design intended to amplify the feeling of the CP3s iconic torquey acceleration. Based on the concept of 3D Riding, allowing the rider to move more freely on the machine, the 2024 MT-09 bodywork is inspired by Yamahas YZ motocross bikes, which also require a high degree of freedom in riding position. The styling concept behind the MT-09 has always been that of functional beauty, eliminating unnecessary features and embodying a less is more approach. Each and every detail has been re-considered to reinforce the MT-09s pure aggressive look and maximise an engaged riding experience. More Compact LED Headlamp A new LED headlamp, enclosed in a re-designed cover, creates a more unified relationship between the headlamp and the fuel tank and is inspired by the MTs origins a blend of Naked and Motard. The bi-functional LED projector headlight has been enhanced, featuring a compact diameter lense module that is both smaller and thinner than the previous model, but which still provides a broad and powerful beam with soft edges for both low and high beam settings. Transparent twin LED position lights express a cool look with a sense of concentration to complete the MT-09s more compact, sharp and aggressive style. This theme is continued at the rear with a newly designed LED tail-light. The tail-light and brake lights are separated to align with the new outer lens shape. And to give the whole rear a slimmer look, the upper tail-light lens is red, while the bottom has a smoked finish. Sharpened Fuel Tank Design A new fuel tank has been designed to promote a more engaged and free riding position while maintaining the sharp and edgy aesthetic that has become synonymous with the MT name. Produced using a new press moulding manufacturing method, the new tank offers sharper character with clearly defined edges and tense styling unique to the MT models. A More Engaged Riding Experience Amplified CP3 Acoustics Redefined Riding Position Details Matter: New Brake and Gear Shift Pedals Each and every detail of the MT-09 has been re-considered in order to further improve the riding experience. The rear brake pedal has been re-designed and is now made from forged aluminium, while the tip of the gear shift pedal has been significantly flattened to reduce the amount of ankle movement required during shifting, enabling smoother operation. Separated Rider and Passenger Seats Brembo Radial Master Cylinder: Linear Power, Total Control In order to match the MT-09s high torque and acceleration, stopping power is enhanced by a new Brembo radial master cylinder, which moves in the same direction as the brake lever resulting in a linear relationship between rider input and hydraulic brake pressure to the dual front brake discs for excellent controllability. In addition, a newly designed adjustable clutch lever offers the rider further control when engaging the clutch.

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/born-iconicthe-new-xsr900-gp The embodiment of Yamaha Racing history. The Sport Heritage range pays tribute to some of the most iconic motorcycles from Yamahas rich history by blending nostalgic design with the very latest in high performance engine and chassis technology. Each XSR model takes inspiration and design cues from some of the most significant bikes built by Yamaha in its 68-year history but sees no compromise in modern day performance by bonding this timeless beauty with cutting edge riding technology. Racing is in Yamahas DNA. Yamaha Motor Company has been competing in, and winning, motorcycle races since its inception pushing the limits of both man and machine. Yamahas first ever motorcycle, the YA-1, won the Mount Fuji Ascent Race in 1955 shortly after the company was founded. RRP 12,500 OTR First released in 2016, the XSR900 has long featured subtle hints to Yamahas racing pedigree and in 2021, the latest generation XSR900 went one step further with clear design cues taken from race machines of the 1980s and 1990s while maintaining its position as a heritage roadster. For 2024 the nod to Yamahas racing tradition takes another leap with the introduction of the new XSR900 GP, which pays homage to some of the most celebrated race machines from Yamahas illustrious past in a way never seen before in the Sports Heritage range. Combining a sense of 1980s Grand Prix nostalgia with the very latest technology including the iconic, torque-rich 890cc CP3 engine, R1-derived six-axis IMU and lean sensitive rider aids, the XSR900 GP embodies Yamahas Racing history without sacrificing modern day performance. A sense of nostalgia in every detail Aesthetically, Grand Prix bikes took a significant step in the 1980s, moving from the curvaceous bodywork of the 1970s towards the boxier design seen from the mid-80s onwards. These squarer fairings would set the trend for the next decade not only at Grand Prix level but in production bikes too. The XSR900 GP features an upper cowling reminiscent of this era, not only with a clear influence from the 1980s YZR Grand Prix bikes but also with notes of the FZR and TZR production sports machines of the late 1980s and early 1990s. To maintain the race-bike look, the XSR900s round LED headlamp is replaced by a compact lens module, neatly hidden in the front cowling, creating a sense of unity with the front fairing while maintaining excellent illumination. The bodywork is not only a symbol of the past in looks alone, but the method in which it is fixed in position is also inspired by the 1980s, with a tubed structure connecting the cowling to the frame and straight brackets supporting the dash creating a riders view with a genuine golden era feel. To emphasize the classic cockpit feeling, the upper fairing stay is supported by a nut structure identical to that used for the original TZ250. In true racing style, this structure is fastened with a beta pin, marking the first time Yamaha has used such a fastening on a mass-produced production model for public road use. The function behind the move from the curvaceous cowlings of the 1970s to the more squared off style of the 1980s was to both improve aerodynamic efficiency and protect the rider from the wind coming from higher performance; and this is no different with the XSR900 GP. While the windscreen and individual knuckle guards incorporate a taste of the 1980s; its not solely about looks. The power output and gear ratio of the 890cc CP3 engine is identical to that of the XSR900, but the front cowling structure of the XSR900 GP increases both acceleration and top speed while the ducts on the side panels efficiently discharge heat from the radiator to maximise cooling performance. The colour-matched seat cover fits over the passenger seat to complete the racer look with a boxy 1980s style rear end hiding the rear light, while a seat stopper on top of the seat cowling keeps the rider in position to enhance the feeling of acceleration. Colours reminiscent of the Rainey years Adorned in one of the most iconic Yamaha Grand Prix colours of all time, the XSR900 GP is available in a heritage livery inspired by the machines ridden by riders such as Wayne Rainey to multiple 500cc Grand Prix World Championships in the 1980s and early 1990s, complete with authentic yellow number boards on both front and rear cowlings. The Deltabox-style chassis and swing arm are finished in silver to better evoke the era of the 1980s prototypes and emphasize the character of the Deltabox style frame itself. A sportier ride Race-style clip on handlebars Separate clip on handlebars add to the racer-style cockpit and offer a sportier riding experience. The revised handlebars drastically change the riding position from the XSR900, moving the rider further forward on the machine into a sportier riding position, increasing the load on the front to offer the more precise feeling expected from a racestyle machine. However, since the model is not purely focused on racing or circuit riding, care has been taken to ensure the riding position does not lean forward excessively, instead offering a balance which can be enjoyed on the road without discomfort. The comfort is emphasized via a thicker, more supportive seat. The aluminium diecast footrests are adjustable to two different positions but come out of the factory set at the upper position to emphasise the sportier riding position. Tuned rigidity To accommodate the extra load on the front end of the machine, as a result of the more forward riding position, the XSR900 GP areas surrounding the frame have been tuned to optimise stability in turning. The subframe has also been reinforced over the one found on the XSR900. To further correspond with this front end-led riding style, the XSR900 is the only CP3 model to feature an aluminium steering stem shaft, adjusting rigidity in the steering area to better balance the often conflicting feelings of lightness and stability when changing direction or under rapid deceleration. In conjunction with the lightweight Spinforged wheels and new Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 tyres the rider can have precise confidence in placing the XSR900 GP exactly where they wish. Cutting edge technology High performance brakes and suspension In line with the mantra of blending yesterdays style with modern technology, the XSR900 GP boasts the latest in suspension and braking components. The KYB upside down front forks are fully adjustable for Preload and compression damping as well as rebound damping, so the ideal setup can be found for front end feel. The link-type rear suspension actuates a forward-inclined fully adjustable KYB shock virtually hidden from sight to maintain the slim and sporty performance at the rear. Remote pre-load adjustment makes customising the ride a simple task. A Brembo radial front master cylinder underlines the bikes cutting-edge specification and backs up its sporty potential, while the brake hoses have been optimised to improve braking control in sportier riding, especially under harder stopping forces. Yamaha Ride Control (YRC) Further maintaining the mix of nostalgic style with the latest in high performance technology, XSR900 GP riders can customise their riding experience via Yamaha Ride Control (YRC). For simpler use, engine power characteristics and rider aids are integrated to quickly allow changes to the level of electronic intervention depending on rider preferences and road conditions. Three pre-set integrated riding modes, SPORT, STREET and RAIN feature factory settings with different intervention levels to suit different conditions. These are complemented by two Custom settings, which enable the rider to manually select their own power and intervention settings for the various electronically controlled, leansensitive rider aids all of which can be set using a smartphone via the MyRide app. 5 TFT meter with full connectivity A new five-inch full colour TFT display is housed in the retro-styled cockpit. While riders can choose from four different themes to suit a range of mindsets, a traditional analogue-style tachometer theme, inspired by race bikes of yesteryear truly enhances the period riding experience. For an enriched riding experience, smart phone connectivity comes as standard on the XSR900 GP via a built-in Communication Control Unit (CCU), ensuring riders can stayconnected while riding by linking their smart phone with their machine via the free MyRide Link app. As well as seeing call and message notifications on the 5 TFT display, a new dimension is added to the ride by the possibility of taking calls and listening to music via a Bluetooth headset*. Once connected, riders can also make use of the integrated Garmin StreetCross navigation system which will display Turn-By-Turn navigation on the 5 TFT dashboard. There is also the option to provide power to external devices by the new USB Type C socket located near the dashboard. *Bluetooth headset not included with bike New ergonomic switchgear New integrated handlebar switch assemblies enable the rider to operate the wider range of functions of the new XSR900 GP including smart phone connectivity, navigation and riding modes as well as interrogating the various menu options. Featuring a clear, logical and simple design the shape, movement and ergonomic layout of the buttons have been designed with intuitive movement in mind, meaning riders can cycle through the different functions with ease. To aid navigation of busy road environments, a soft-click of the indicator switch will flash the turn signals three times for use when lane-changing or when only brief indication is required. A full-click of the switch will result in continuous flashing until 15 seconds has passed and when the machine has travelled more than 150 metres. A new Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function reacts to sudden braking by engaging the hazard lights to warn road users behind the vehicle is stopping at speed in an emergency situation. Extra support from advanced six-axis IMU with lean sensitive rider aids Developed directly from the electronic systems on the R1, the XSR900 GPs high-tech six-axis IMU constantly measures acceleration in the forward-backward, up-down and left-right directions as well as the angular velocity in the machines pitch, roll and yaw directions. The six-axis IMU is able to send data in real time to the ECU which controls the suite of electronic rider aids, including the lean sensitive Traction Control System (TCS), Slide Control System (SCS) as well as a front wheel Lift Control System (LIF) and Brake Control System (BC). XSR900 GP also becomes the first Sport Heritage model to be equipped with the third generation quick shift system, enhancing the ride by enabling clutchless downshifts while accelerating and clutchless upshifts under deceleration in addition to the standard functionality.

Tue, 17 Oct 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/suzuki-announce-new-model This latest new model from Suzuki expands our middle weight adventure range and gives us all access to lots of new customer enquiries and sales. V-Strom 800RE is introduced as a road-biased adventure model and complements the existing off-road focused V-Strom 800DE (Dual Explorer). You will be delighted with the planned arrival time of V-Strom 800RE. Its not far away, but please read on for full specifications. Sharing a similar DR Big-inspired look as the 800DE, complete with an iconic beak and full LED lighting front and rear, the V-Strom 800RE is available in three colours. Engine Design At its heart, the new V-Strom 800RE uses the same 776cc parallel twin engine as its stablemate the 800DE, with its double overhead cam and 270 crankshaft design delivering a broad spread of torque for strong real-world performance. Its peak figures are 78Nm at 6,800rpm and 84.3PS at 8,500rpm. Great news as this motor is already award winning in the GSX-8S and has been one of the standout and acclaimed features of both the existing 800 models. A ride-by-wire throttle connection provides a natural feel and connection to the rear wheel, while the standard bi-directional quickshifter paired with a slip and assist clutch makes gear changes slick and seamless. Chassis Design The frame, common with the excellent 800DE is engineered for a balance of straight-line stability and agile handling. While its full chassis package offers bespoke ergonomics to the 800RE, for the best possible riding experience and comfort. The narrow steel frame tubes, while strong also help optimise rider ergonomics and maximise fuel tank capacity, which comes in at 20 litres. This combined with the 64.12 MPG achieves a long riding range whether touring or commuting. A key differentiator on V-Strom 800RE is its 19 front and 17 rear cast aluminium wheels, with tubeless tyres. High quality suspension is provided by Showa, with a focus on delivering superior on-road performance, along with easy and quick pre-load adjustment at the rear for taking luggage and a pillion. Stopping power comes from radially mounted four-piston Nissin calipers, with an ABS system that has 2 levels of adjustment. Further underlying this V-Strom's prowess as the tool to explore all roads, it comes with a low seat height of 825mm, with options to go even lower by 20mm or higher by 30mm from genuine accessory seats too. Electronics Design A tall and widescreen brings ample weather and wind protection on longer road rides. Beneath that screen, a 5 colour TFT display with dual modes for day or night time riding, clearly shows all the information required by the rider, including the current setting selected from its three-mode traction control system, the current power mode selected, and the switchable ABS setting too. Theres also a handy USB port located on the left-hand side for smartphone or navigation charging.

Fri, 22 Sep 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/kawasaki-announce-new-model-for-2024 NEW ELIMINATOR 500: JUST RIDE A comfortable, relaxed riding position is complemented by a confidence-inspiring reach to the ground. When settled into the low seat you find the handle grips are right where your arms naturally extend. When you lift your feet to move off, the footpeg position offers just the right amount of knee-bend for comfortable all-day riding. With a Ninja-based Parallel Twin engine offering plenty of torque right from low-rpm, the Eliminator 500 delivers plenty of get-up-and-go when riding in the city, while its strong power and linear response make it right at home on the highway. Combined with its capable chassis, riding the Eliminator is like gliding between the open sky and the horizon. Thanks to the blend of reassurance and exhilaration, you may find yourself surprised by the new destinations you reach. The Eliminator 500 SE, a special edition variation model, enhances the stylish appearance of the standard model with a compact headlight cowl and fork boots. A handle-mounted USB outlet adds to convenience. Low Seat Height At 735 mm, the Eliminators seat height is the lowest of Kawasakis 250-500cc on-road models, contributing to a reassuring reach to the ground. Accessory High and Low seats enable a wide range of riders to enjoy the Eliminator 500 with confidence and comfort. Light Weight Belying the Eliminators long and low design and imposing bodywork, efforts made to keep weight low result in a lightweight chassis. Low-effort manoeuvrability contributes to rider confidence and helps reduce riding stress. Relaxed, Upright Riding Position A natural riding position with handle grips located where your arms naturally extend and foot pegs positioned so that your legs do not feel cramped offers rider reassurance and contribute to stress-free everyday riding. Twin-Shock Rear Suspension In addition to contributing to riding comfort and natural handling, twin rear shocks are reminiscent of the style of Kawasakis orthodox motorcycles. All-New Trellis Frame Inspired by the Ninja 400s high-performance trellis frame, the high-tensile steel construction achieves the Eliminators low seat height while maintaining the active performance potential of its sportier brother. Ninja-Based Parallel Twin Engine with Strong Low-End Performance The Eliminators Parallel Twin engine offers strong low-end torque, greatly benefiting low-speed control and maneuverability, and contributing to low-stress everyday riding. At highway speeds, its strong power and linear response make its Ninja lineage apparent. Eliminator 500 Tail While the LED taillight evokes the style of the original Eliminator, the tail design is original. Thin, with its slash-cut lower line angling sharply upwards, it contributes to the active performance image. Light, Natural Handling Complementing the long and low style, chassis geometry was carefully selected to achieve light, natural handling. The Eliminators easy-handling character adds to rider confidence and contributes to stress-free riding. All-Digital Instrumentation with Tachometer The compact, round, all-digital LCD instrument panel offers a modern touch that complements the Eliminators authentic style. The highly legible layout includes a bar-style tachometer and gear position indicator visible reminders of the Eliminators active riding potential. Smartphone connectivity enables riders to access instrument functions for an enhanced motorcycling experience. 18/16 Wheels Combining a long wheelbase with 18 front and 16 rear wheels helps achieve the low head position and long and low style. MODEL VARIATIONS In addition to distinct colours and graphics, the Eliminator 500 SE comes equipped with a number of special features. Headlight cowl The headlight cowl is reminiscent of those found on earlier Eliminator SE models. A clever mounting method (patent pending) helps realise a compact, stylish design. Fork Boots Fork boots add to the authentic motorcycle style. USB-C outlet A convenient USB-C outlet is mounted on the right handle. The outlet features a waterproof design to help protect it from the elements. SE seat The SE seat is the same shape as the standard seat but features two-pattern seat leather and stitching along its top edge. Eliminator SE Eliminator Thu, 21 Sep 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/neotec-3-from-shoei-now-in-store The NEOTEC series of flip-up helmets with internal sun visors has been supported by many riders by combining the functions that riders want at a high level. Now the new NEOTEC, which is all brushed up with SHOEI's state-of-the-art technology and know-how, is born as NEOTEC 3. While inheriting the basic functions inherited from the NEOTEC series, such as the characteristic shell design for the internal sun visor housing and the face cover opening/closing system with eccentric axis, every detailed part of NEOTEC II has been reviewed and pursued to improve in comfort and functionality for NEOTEC3; a centre locking mechanism that improves the shield's contact with the window beading and prevents wind from entering, newly designed cheek pads, a new micro ratchet chinstrap that improves wearing comfort, etc. NEOTEC3 meets ECE R22/06 standard, P/J double homologation (riding with face cover closed is recommended) In addition, thecommunication system mounting mechanism has been newly designed, with compact base parts on both sides of the shell, it enhances integration with the helmet design when the communication system is installed. NEOTEC3, which has enhanced functionality and comfort in every detail, enriches the quality of riding in every riding scene, from commuting to long touring. Sun Visor SHOEI's internal sun visor has a reputation for having quality comparable to the European sunglass standard EN1836 and high optical characteristics with little distortion. The NEOTEC3 uses the QSV2 sun visor, which is 5 mm elongated than the QSV-1. Strong wires are used for SHOEIs sun visor operation mechanism that realizes smooth handling. The sun visor operation mechanism using strong wires and the mechanism that has a stopper function with a click feeling at the fully open position of the sun visor lever to prevent the sun visor from suddenly falling down are unique to SHOEI. Chinstrap A micro ratchet type chinstrap that boasts high durability, safety, and the convenience of being easily tightened even with gloves on. NEOTEC3 introduces a newly developed micro ratchet chinstrap that has become compact. Made of highly durable stainless steel, it locks with two claws when tightened, and can be released only by raising the lever to a certain angle or more. The new micro ratchet buckle is downsized keeping these structures for maximizing safety. By knitting high-strength and high-elasticity high-performance fibre in the chinstrap, it makes it possible to slim down while securing strength, and the fit to the neck has been improved. Interior The newly designed cheek pad is extended to the back of the head to closely fit the rider's neck. Combined with the noise isolator that covers the gap around the chin strap, it prevents wind from entering from the bottom of the helmet. For the surface of the interior parts, raised fabric that is soft to the touch is used for areas where the rider's skin rubs against when putting on and taking off a helmet, and a high absorption and quick-drying fabric is used for areas where the rider sweats a lot. Ensure riding comfort even when riding for long periods of time. Integration with Communication System In addition to communication between riders touring in groups and with passengers, the kind of riders who enjoy riding by themselves while listening to music, radio, navigation, etc. is becoming more and more popular. Under the circumstances, NEOTEC II and its exclusively designed communication systems have been highly appreciated by riders for their integration in design and convenience. The mounting part of the communication system on NEOTEC 3 is made as compact as possible, realizing a design that has a greater sense of unity with the helmet when the communication system is installed. Each part is equipped with a cover, and the helmet design is not compromised even when the communication system is not installed. In addition, the base parts located on both sides of the shell reduce the vertical height to reduce wind noise. The same as NEOTEC II, switch units can be installed on both sides of the shell and a battery in the space provided between the shell and the liner at the bottom of the back of the head. It makes it easier to remove and fix the cover for the base parts on both sides of the shell. The battery box is designed so that the charging port for the communication system is placed on the back of the head so that the helmet can be charged while the helmet is placed on a flat surface. The exclusively designed communication system for NEOTEC 3 will be developed by SENA following the SRL series COLOUR OPTIONS Wed, 06 Sep 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/suzuki-gsx-8s-2023-winner ''The GSX-8S ticks all boxes - novice friendly, suited to daily commuting, good value and it offers performance that will satisfy experienced riders too'' MCN The GSX-8S has been a popular model since its release earlier this year and has quickly become a contender in the hyper-competitive middleweight naked bike category. Competition comes from the well-established Yamaha MT-07 and the offering from Kawasaki with the Z650. Get more information on the MCN Naked Bike of the Year 2023 here.

More Information here Sat, 15 Jul 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/kawasaki-announce-the-ninja-zx-4rr Kawasaki Motors Corporation has announced that it will launch a mid-weight, high-performance machine in its famous Ninja range to be called the Ninja ZX-4RR. Incorporating a newly designed engine and frame, the exciting new addition to Kawasakis Supersports line. The model is expected in Europe in the Autumn of 2023. Whether a seasoned rider or new to the joys of Supersport, Ninja ZX-4RR riders will experience the exciting riding pleasure of the "APEX PREDATOR" concept on the racetrack or on the street. High-revving Performance With a redline beyond 15,000 rpm indicating its screaming potential, this engine features racing-inspired technology also found on the Ninja ZX-10R. The high revs deliver a distinctive, exhilarating engine sound characteristic of a high-performance Kawasaki In-Line Four. TFT Colour Instrumentation with Circuit Mode The 4.3 all-digital TFT colour instrumentation with selectable display modes (Normal, Circuit) clearly displays the most pertinent information, whether on the street or on the track. Circuit Mode shows the gear position, lap times, and rpm above 10,000 more prominently. Smartphone Connectivity Bluetooth technology built into the instrument panel allows connection to smartphones via the RIDEOLOGY THE APP smartphone application, enabling riders to access instrument functions for an enhanced motorcycling experience. All-LED Lighting From its twin headlights to its Ninja ZX-10R-inspired taillight, all lighting on the Ninja ZX-4Ris LED. Integrated Riding Modes Four integrated riding modes (Sport, Road, Rain or Rider (manual)) make it simple to select a level of traction control and power mode to suit the current riding conditions. Premium Components and Features Style meets substance with the Ninja ZX-4Rs high-class styling and high-grade package. Aggressive looks are complemented by premium features like TFT colour instrumentation providing clear information, integrated Riding Modes that link traction control and power modes for easy machine setup, and on the ZX-4RR a quick shifter for fast, simple gear changes. Dual Front Disc Brakes The ZX-4Rs two 290 mm front brake discs and radialmount monobloc calipers provide sure stopping power, while also offering an excellent braking feel to inspire confidence both on the track and on the street. Trellis Frame with Optimised Rigidity Balance Designed using Kawasakis advanced dynamic rigidity analysis, this trellis frame made from high-tensile steel delivers the required balance of strength and chassis flex to achieve the Ninja ZX-4Rs nimble supersport-style handling. Ergonomics for Control and Comfort Naturally aggressive riding position (more forwardleaning than the Ninja 400s, but still slightly relaxed) lets riders take advantage of the Ninja ZX-4Rs nimble handling. The fuel tank feels slim, promoting good contact with the bike, while the shape of the firm seat cushion facilitates rider weight shift during sport riding, and is comfortable for longer rides. Fierce Ninja ZX Styling Befitting the most powerful machine in the 400cc class, the Ninja ZX-4Rs aggressive Ninja styling exudes a fierce aura of restrained power and explosive action. All-New In-Line Four Engine The new 399 cm3 liquid-cooled DOHC In-Line Four engine pushes technological boundaries to comfortably top the 400cc class*. Developed with know-how gained from other Ninja ZX models, the high-performance engine offers class-leading power and a rev range that extends beyond 15,000 min-1. High-Grade Suspension The Ninja ZX-4Rs 37 mm inverted fork uses SFFBP internals to offer both racetrack performance and everyday usability while the Horizontal Back-link rear suspension offers a progressive character. Offering increased adjustability, the Ninja ZX-4RR front fork includes an adjustable spring preload. Class-Leading Engine Performance Kawasaki takes 400cc engine performance to a new level, achieving an unprecedented 57 kW (77 PS) of power. The howl of the engine as it revs beyond 15,000 min-1 adds to rider exhilaration. A quick-revving nature and direct throttle response are complemented by a flexible character that offers strong low to mid-range torque for city riding, as well as screaming high-rpm power ideal for sport or track riding. World Superbike Inspired Chassis Design Key chassis dimensions (centre of gravity position, swingarm pivot position, engine axis positions, caster angle, etc) were inspired by Kawasakis World Superbike Ninja ZX-10RR racer, bringing WorldSBK chassis design thinking to the 400cc class. Dual-direction KQS Allowing riders to take even greater advantage of the Ninja ZX-4Rs exhilarating engine character, the quick shifter enables clutchless upshifts and downshifts for seamless acceleration and easy deceleration. Ram Air Intake Complementing the centrally positioned Ram Air intake, the side Ram Air duct, designed with feedback from the Ninja H2, routes air to the air cleaner box and contributes to stellar performance. Its aggressive look and intake sound add to the screaming In-Line Four experience, and visually identify the bike as one of Kawasakis Ninja ZX models. Ninja ZX-4RR: In addition to the original Kawasaki Racing Team-inspired colours and "RR" graphics, the rear suspension features Showa's BFRC-lite, the same type used on the Ninja ZX-10R supersport model.

And with the aid of Kawasakis iconic Ram Air system a stunning maximum of 95.2 kW {129 PS} is produced at 13,000 rpm. The most obvious aspect of the new machine is the distinctive aero-winglet equipped Ninja face with purposeful aggressive lines incorporating for the first time hybrid projector/reflector headlights (part of a complete LED lighting package), and a new sports windshield equipped with special cut outs to reduce buffeting. The entire bodywork for 2024 uses interwoven layers to create a 3D effect, with the multiple layers adding to a high-class design. In terms of the cockpit area, a new 4.3inch (11cm) colour TFT meter makes its debut and also facilitates Smartphone connectivity via Kawasakis Rideology App. Information updates such as a shift light, Kawasaki service reminder, oil change reminder, Riding Mode indicator, Smartphone call and mail notices are all available. Also featured along with all the familiar vehicle status updates are a Bluetooth indicator and an Economical Riding Indicator. From a technical perspective, the famous and highly praised 636 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke in-line four forms the core of the machine and now features revised cam profiles to satisfy stricter emission regulations plus revised intake funnels and revised header and collector pipes all combining to benefit low- to mid-rpm performance. A move to round over petal discs reflects the current Ninja ZX-10R family image while such items as the SFF-BP (Separate function fork with big piston), KQS Kawasaki Quick Shifter, three mode KTRC traction control and both power modes and integrated riding modes underpin the high specification of this Supersport legend. Rolling on Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres, the 2024 Ninja ZX-6R will be available in two colourways for the upcoming season, a green version (naturally!) in Lime Green/Ebony plus a more stealth version combining Metallic Graphite Gray and Metallic Diablo Black. For sure Kawasaki dealers and loyal fans of the Ninja family will welcome the sight of a new and comprehensively updated Ninja ZX-6R for 2024 keeping the Ninja flame burning brightly. Offering yet more Kawasaki choice in the mid-capacity European A2 class, the new Eliminator has distinctive urban cruiser styling offering a comfortable and low seat plus a cruiser style 18 front and 16 rear wheel combination all relying on an all-new trellis type chassis with a 451cm3 Ninja based fuel-injected parallel twin engine at its core delivering strong low rev performance combined with lively upper rev range ability. In a nod to previous Eliminator models, the 2024 machine has a tail unit reflecting the heritage of the brand family while twin rear shock absorbers aid the traditional meets modern look. Offering a natural and relaxed riding position and conceived to be passenger friendly, the Eliminator rider can rely on all-digital instrumentation plus the welcome incorporation of an assist and slipper clutch. Focussing on what Kawasaki terms its Horizontal design approach, the full 2024 Eliminator specification will soon be revealed along with many genuine accessory items - but two colour options have been confirmed; the first option being Metallic Flat Spark Black and the second Metallic Matte Carbon Gray with Flat Ebony. Its said that the best things come to those that wait, so potential Eliminator customers need to hold their breath just a little longer for the full facts to emerge regarding this welcome new addition to the Kawasaki cruiser stable.

Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-announce-new-tenere-700-world-rally Yamahas ultimate high specification long distance adventure bike The newTnr 700 World Rallyrepresents the ultimate version of Yamahas long-distance adventure bike and can trace its heritage back to the very beginning of the worlds toughest race. The story began back in 1979 when Yamaha won the first-ever Dakar Rally. Inspired by this success and encouraged by the growing interest in long-distance rally events, the company embarked upon the development of a machine that would forever change the motorcycle world. Introduced in 1983, the original Tnr is recognized as one of the most influential and iconic motorcycles of the 20thcentury. Equipped with a large capacity fuel tank, rugged chassis and high torque engine, Yamahas first ever Adventure bike gave thousands of riders the opportunity to go to faraway places and discover new horizons. No other Adventure bike comes close to matching the pure racing heritage of the legendary Yamaha Tnr. Not only did it enable a whole new breed of moto adventurers to live their dreams it also inspired many riders to compete in the worlds toughest Rally events that have tested the rider and machine to the limit. Team Yamahas annual Dakar campaigns witnessed some incredible performances by desert specialists including Yamaha Motor France CEO Jean Claude Olivier and of course, desert legend Stphane Peterhansel who took six victories with Yamaha and ensured his name will live forever in the record books. To pay tribute to these riders and the machines they rode, Yamaha is launching a special version of the Tnr that blends true racing heritage with modern day performance. Lightweight Akrapovislip-on muffler Premium components feature throughout this new flagship Adventure bike. The exclusive slip-on Akrapovi muffler accentuates the high torque feeling and distinctive roar coming from the 270-degree crank CP2 engine and highlights this exclusive machines best-in-class specification.

The black coloured 43mm KYB front forks are fully adjustable for spring preload, as well as compression and rebound damping enabling the rider to dial them in to match different loads, terrain and speeds. And with 230mm of travel, the World Rally is equipped to take on the toughest off road terrain. 5-inch colour TFT with mobile connectivity and 3 themes Tnr 700 World Rally riders have a choice of three switchable screen styles digital, analogue or roadbook style and the connected 5-inch colour TFT display can also be linked to a smartphone with the free MyRide app, enabling the display of text messages and incoming call notifications on the screen. 23-litre dual side-mounted fuel tanks Yamahas winning Dakar bikes pioneered the companys use of long range fuel tanks, so the Tnr 700 World Rally is equipped with the latest race developed 23-litre fuel tanks that give great autonomy for long distance rides. The bulk of the fuel is carried as low as possible in order to achieve mass centralization for agile handling and the top of the tanks is positioned lower than the standard Tnr for easy rider mobility. Aluminium piggyback rear shock, 220mm travel The adjustable rear suspension system is matched to the high specification front end and features a competition quality aluminium body with a piggyback reservoir that ensures consistent damping performance. Featuring a special linkage and large bump stop, the World Rallys shock gives 220mm rear wheel travel. hlins adjustable steering damper With 18 different settings, the lightweight hlins adjustable steering damper provides added confidence and controllability when the going gets tough and enables the rider to get the most from the premium suspension systems. Flat rally inspired 2-piece seat With its 2-piece design, the flat rally inspired seat can accommodate the fitment of a rack or luggage by removing the rear section. The flat profile ensures easy rider mobility and effortless front/rear weight shifting, while its dual black-grey material construction gives a firm yet comfortable ride. For added exclusivity, the seat also features the World Rally logo. 3-mode switchable ABS The World Rallys 3-mode switchable ABS gives the rider total flexibility in choosing how they want the bike to behave on a variety of surfaces. Mode 1 is fully on, with ABS working on both wheels a legal requirement on public roads. Mode 2 is front wheel on and rear wheel off, giving added confidence on loose gravel tracks and Mode 3 is fully off, giving the rider ultimate controllability when riding in the dirt. Historic Yamaha Rally Racing colours With its bold new blue, pink fluo and silver historic rally racing colours based on the design used on Stphane Peterhansels 1993 factory bike, the Tnr 700 World Rally celebrates Yamahas winning Dakar history and pays homage to all of the heroic factory riders who have ridden in the worlds toughest event. The same colours will be used by Yamaha riders Alessandro Botturi and Pol Tarrs in their 2023 race programme where they will test their Tnr factory bikes to the limit.

On a very practical level, these are our first fully silicone grips; this incredible material increases their lifespan by up to 200% without compromising comfort or performance, as well as reducing cable strain and increasing grip levels. Moreover, there is also no separate switchgear to find space for and install, because each grip houses its own internal temperature control unit, operated by a power/temperature button with an LED light on the clutch-side grip. On a more technical level, the intelligent controller will independently measure and control the temperature of each grip using inbuilt thermistors to maintain the desired temperature setting. HOTGRIPS PRO ADVENTURE combines a knurled base with our hex pattern in the crook of the thumb and additional gripper bars along the length of the grip to give maximum comfort and control on rough terrain. With integrated temperature control, these hardwearing silicone gripswill keep your hands warm and comfortable so you can focus on the road ahead. HOTGRIPS PRO SPORTS are specifically designed with the largest knurled surface area for maximum grip when riding at the limit. With a built-in heat controller, you can adjust the temperature without having to release your grip so you remain in complete control. HOTGRIPS PRO TOURING combines a knurled base for exceptional grip with our hex grip pattern for added comfort and durability around the crook of the thumb. Inbuilt thermistors maintain the desired grip temperature as the environment around you changes, so you can stay warm and travel further for longer. Key Features Intelligent Design Innovative Heat Setting Memory function stores previous heat setting and defaults to this at power-up, saving time when in regular use. Integrated controller - allows rider to adjust temperature without removing their hand from the grip. Simple installation - the new integrated controller means that the HotGrips wiring loom is even easier to install. Responsive Heat Settings Built-in thermistor technology auto-regulates temperature. Precise temperature control - simply press the button repeatedly and multi-coloured LED lights indicate temperature settings (Red = 45C; White = 40C; Blue = 35C). LED lights automatically dim to reduce distraction when riding at night. Waterproof Design Fully waterproof connectors and integrated controller meet IP65 rating to protect your HotGrips from the elements. Battery Saving Modes Protects against flat batteries, so if you forget to turn the switch off it will do it for you! HotGrips Pro offers an additional battery-saving mode for lithium batteries, now common on high-performance motorcycles. Grip Features Silicone-formed grips - increases grip lifespan by up to 200% without compromising comfort or performance. Integrated cable strain relief - a more compact cable exit enables grip size to be reduced. Fits 7/8" (22mm) handlebars.

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/tricity-125-latest-news Love the way I move: Practical, stylish, and easy to use commuter. Featuring a lively and economical new EURO5 Blue Core engine, together with a refined chassis for increased feelings of comfort and stability, the latest version of the popular Tricity 125 is the clear choice for commuters and urban dwellers who want a practical and easy-to-use scooter. Since its introduction in 2014, this high-quality three-wheel urban mobility vehicle has attracted a strong following amongst independent-minded riders with an eye for style and quality who appreciate its unique combination of compact dimensions, low weight, and the added confidence of a third wheel. For 2022, the Yamaha Tricity 125 is unique in being the only three-wheel model offered by any manufacturer in the important 125cc capacity class and being accessible with an A1 licence, this compact and agile scooter is an attractive proposition for riders looking for convenient and affordable urban mobility. Equipped with connected instruments that enable the rider to view smartphone and social media notifications, the Tricity 125 offers the mobility and agility of a conventional scooter combined with the class-leading ride quality and confident handling character associated with its three-wheel layout. New EURO5 Blue Core engine For 2022, the new Tricity 125 is equipped with the latest EURO5-compliant engine that has been designed and manufactured with Yamahas leading Blue Core technology that minimises emissions while ensuring highly efficient performance. Featuring a durable forged piston and a newly designed cylinder head, as well as a larger intake valve and increased compression ratio, the Tricity 125s new engine now benefits from Yamahas Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) technology that ensures good acceleration with lively performance and reduced fuel consumption. New Starter Generator Control Unit and Smart Motor Generator system The new Tricity 125 is equipped with a 32-bit Starter Generator Control Unit (SGCU) that fully integrates the new engines electrical and electronic functions, including fuel delivery, power generation and Start-and-Stop system to ensure more environmentally friendly performance. This SGCU also governs the engines new Smart Motor Generator system, which combines the functions of the previous models separate generator and starter motor into one compact unit. This new Smart Motor Generator system turns the crankshaft directly, eliminating the previous systems sound of meshing gears and thereby ensuring extremely quiet starts and restarts. Quiet and intelligent new Stop-and-Start system. The quieter and more efficient engine starting system is a particularly significant feature that complements the Tricity 125s new Stop-and-Start system to make this accessible commuter scooter less intrusive and more enjoyable to ride in urban traffic. The Stop-and-Start system is designed to shut off the engine when the Tricity 125 is stationary at traffic lights and the machine restarts automatically when the throttle is turned. For optimum efficiency, the SGCU constantly monitors riding conditions and prevents overly frequent stops and starts in situations such as congested traffic where the machine may be stopping and starting every few seconds. Stable three-wheel layout with twin leaning front wheels. What makes the Tricity 125 unique in the 125cc category is its three-wheel layout with twin leaning front wheels that give an increased feeling of stability, whether riding in a straight line or during cornering. The high levels of traction provided by two front tyres combined with the confident stance of the three-wheel layout ensures a unique riding experience, making the Tricity 125 an ideal choice for new riders as well for those who may be moving from two wheels to three wheels. Optimised LMW Ackermann steering layout Featuring the same basic linkage design as the system used on the prestigious NIKEN Sport Tourer motorcycle and the Tricity 300, the Yamaha-exclusive LMW Ackermann steering system on the latest Tricity 125 has been optimised for 2022 and features a revised layout with the lean axle slightly offset from the steering axle. This latest design ensures that the left and right front wheels always carve a concentric arc even in a deep lean, giving a more natural and intuitive feel and making it easy for riders to stick to their chosen line. The Tricity 125s two front wheels and the revised front-end linkage design promote feelings of riding confidence especially on wet or bumpy surfaces. This aspect of the Tricity 125s character is particularly significant for beginners with an A1 licence who are moving to the Tricity 125 from a car or public transport and who may have limited two-wheel riding experience. New frame for excellent riding comfort and feelings of stability The Tricity 125 is equipped with a new frame design that features a number of refinements, including a 60 mm longer wheelbase and revised engine mounts, which are aimed at achieving a better overall balance and giving enhanced comfort and riding enjoyment. While featuring the same fundamental layout as the previous model, the 2022 design benefits from increased levels of torsional and longitudinal rigidity, together with a finely tuned level of flex that contributes to the scooters natural handling feel. Together with the revised steering characteristics of the latest LMW Ackermann system, the newly developed frame gives an excellent ride quality with high levels of comfort even when riding on uneven or cobbled surfaces. Smart Key operation For added convenience, the Tricity 125 can be operated keylessly whenever the rider is carrying the Smart Key with them in a pocket, wallet, or bag. The machine detects the presence of the Smart Key and allows the rider to turn the power on and off, start the engine, release the handlebar lock, and open the seat. Its a small but useful feature that helps to make for a more enjoyable ride. Larger footboard area/improved passenger footrests/broader headlight beam Rider and passenger comfort is a top priority on the Tricity 125 and the 2022 model features a larger footboard area with increased space at the front, which enables the rider to adopt the most relaxing riding position. Another improvement is the fitment of newly designed passenger footrests that are easier to flip out from their folded-in position and for excellent night-time illumination, the headlights reflector has been refined to give a broader spread of light on both low and high beams. Uprated twin shock rear suspension For a high-quality ride together with excellent shock absorption properties, the twin shock rear suspension system has been refined to match the revised frame design. The overall length of the rear shocks is increased to give 90 mm of smooth and progressive suspension movement that ensures excellent rider and passenger comfort. The spring rate and damping strength have also been increased, resulting in stable rear suspension operation even when carrying a passenger and riding over poor-quality urban streets. Optimised Unified Brake System (UBS) For confident and controlled stopping, the Tricity 125 is equipped with a Unified Brake System (UBS) that automatically distributes the braking force to the front and rear wheels when the rear brake is applied. On the 2022 Tricity 125, the distribution of the braking force between the front and rear brakes has been optimised to ensure smooth and stable stopping power New LCD instruments with smartphone connectivity Tricity 125 riders can stay connected when theyre on the move by downloading Yamahas free MyRide app to their smartphone and pairing it with the scooter by entering the VIN number. Once connected, the rider can view real-time notifications for incoming calls, social media, email and text messages from their smartphone on the new LCD instruments enabling them to stay in touch. Tricity 125 owners can also use the MyRide App to view a range of data like fuel consumption. Its also possible for riders to compare riding data with other Yamaha MyRide users and share their riding experiences and export journey information, as well as link up with other MyRiders to view photos, compare routes and check out new places to go. The new connected instruments are developed from the design used on the larger Tricity 300 and feature a range of easy-to-read machine running information, as well as the previously mentioned smartphone notifications. The new design underlines the shared technology in the Tricity range and reinforces the premium look and feel of this unique commuter. Tricity 125 Key Features New EURO5-compliant Blue Core 125cc liquid-cooled four-stroke engine 9.0 kW @ 8000 rpm Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) Three-wheel layout with optimised LMW Ackermann steering New chassis for increased riding comfort and feelings of stability Start & Stop engine technology Newly developed twin shock rear suspension delivers a high-quality ride 220 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes with optimised UBS New LCD instruments with smartphone connectivity via the MyRide app New Smart Key keyless operation Larger footboard area for easy access and enhanced riding comfort LED headlight with a broader beam Underseat storage and front pocket Two new colour schemes Can be ridden on an A1-licence* Detailed styling improvements and new colours With sporty and contemporary styling that emphasises its modern, light, and agile character, the Tricity 125 is one of the most distinctive models in the 125cc scooter class. Subtle revisions have been made to the bodywork around the footboard area and main ignition switch and a newly designed rear mudguard have been introduced to match the various technical changes to the new chassis. The Tricity 125s side silhouette reinforces the machines sense of performance and front-end stability and conveys this commuter scooters universal accessibility and ease of use to prospective owners. Tricity 125 will be available in two new colours: Petrol Blue and Sand Grey and both models will also be available in Matt Grey Wed, 25 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-announce-tnrspirit-experience-for-2023 Yamaha launches the Tnr Spirit Experience for 2023 The ultimate Rally Raid Adventure for every Tnr owner!

On the 10th of March unveiled the Yamaha NEO's which is a new 50cc Electric equivalent, bringing a new design to an older name. For 2022, the new generation electric NEO's is Yamahas first 50cc equivalent mass-produced electric scooter to be released in the European market and this affordable new zero-emissions model is ready to play its part in the transformation of urban mobility in European towns and cities Pure, sporty and with universal styling The NEO's has always been known for its simple, universal yet attractive styling and the new electric model comes with smart new bodywork with an upright style and minimal front and rear overhang to give this new scooter a distinctive character of its own. The compact body features soft, rounded forms that enhance the relaxed feel and convey the easy-to-ride character of this ultra-quiet zero-emissions scooter. Surrounded by white rings that give a fresh, understated, and contemporary look, the new full LED twin-eye headlights are inspired by the iconic face of the original NEO's. In addition to its aesthetically pleasing design, the NEO's comes with practical touches that underline its role as a daily urban commuter. Not only do the rubber mouldings applied to the outline of the interior give the NEO's a stylish external appearance, but they also help to protect against minor knocks and scuffs, as well as covering various fasteners to give a sleeker finish. The NEO's is available in two simple and effective colours that perfectly capture its understated yet strong character: Milky White and Midnight Black. In both cases, a dedicated Aqua colour intended to become the signature of Yamaha EV is used as an accent on the battery cover and as the colour for the 3D NEO's logos NEO's White Side NEO's Black Side NEO's White Rear NEO's Black Rear Yamaha Integrated Power Unit (YIPU) smooth, quiet, and efficient The new NEO's is driven by the latest generation Yamaha Integrated Power Unit (YIPU) that has been developed using the extensive knowledge gained by the company during the development of pioneering electric scooters including the Passol and EC-03 over the last three decades. At the heart of this compact direct drive wheel hub is a newly developed air-cooled brushless electric motor that delivers high levels of torque for smooth running, strong acceleration, and extremely quiet operation. A key feature of this second generation YIPU is its highly efficient gearless design that significantly reduces transmission power losses typically associated with gears and drive belts. Another significant advantage of Yamahas direct-drive design is that it virtually eliminates mechanical noise for extremely quiet running to give a relaxing and enjoyable ride and with fewer moving parts, running costs are kept to a minimum. The innovative YIPU design doubles up as the rear wheel hub and incorporates the rear braking system and the unit is mounted directly to the rear wheel rim. A single sided swingarm contains the Motor Control Unit (MCU) that governs power output and the rear wheel rim can be easily removed for tyre replacement by the removal of five bolts. Smart, simple, economical, and reliable, the new NEO's is an ideal choice for anyone who is looking for an affordable next generation zero-emissions scooter for daily commuting and general urban mobility. Removable Yamaha lithium-ion battery Weighing just 8 kg and located below the seat in the centre of the chassis is a 50.4V/19.2Ah lithiumion battery that provides a high-power output to the rear wheel. Developed and produced in-house by Yamaha, this high energy density battery gives a range of approximately 37 km on a full charge when tested in WMTC Class 1 in STD mode and has a battery temperature of 25C. Supplied with one battery as standard equipment, the NEO's is equipped with the connector and housing for an optional second battery that can extend the range to approximately 68 km. Charging can be carried out with the battery fitted to the NEO's or when removed for convenient indoor charging. The NEO's is supplied with a purpose-built portable battery charger designed to be plugged into a domestic socket and takes approximately 8 hours to reach full charge. Selectable ride modes for various riding conditions NEO's riders can choose from two different ride modes depending on conditions and individual preferences and it's easy to change modes on the y using the switch on the right handlebar. STD mode delivers the highest power output of 2.06kW @ 40 km/h and is designed for general use on average roads. ECO mode is aimed at reducing battery consumption and is best suited to longer rides where achieving maximum range is desirable. In ECO mode, the maximum power is reduced to 1.58kW at 30 km/h and top speed is limited to 35 km/h while power output is reduced across the entire speed range to extend battery life for a range of approximately 38.5km* on full charge. *Yamaha research. This range changes by place, riding style and battery degradation. Connectivity via Yamahas MyRide smartphone app NEO's riders can stay connected when riding the new generation NEO's by downloading Yamaha's free MyRide app to their smartphone and pairing it with the Communication Control Unit (CCU) on the scooter by simply using a QR code or VIN number. The connected LCD instruments feature icons that display real-time notifications of incoming calls and messages from the users smartphone, ensuring that every NEO's user can keep in touch with friends, family, and work colleagues. NEO's riders can also share their riding experiences with other Yamaha MyRide users, as well as export journey information and link up with other MyRiders to view photos, compare routes and check out new places to go. In addition to enabling connectivity, MyRide also gives the NEO's rider access to technical and running information such as speed, acceleration, vehicle battery status, route tracking and more. The MyRide app will display charging status and the user will be able to see the charge level of the main battery and the optional second battery. A parking locator makes it easy to find the scooter and a malfunction alert lets the user know about any technical issues that may need attention. By ensuring that every NEO's rider can stay connected, MyRide makes this new electric scooter the ideal urban mobility solution for everyone, whether theyve ridden a scooter before or are first-time riders Compact and easy to read LCD instrument panel Smart Key keyless system In addition to the speedometer, odometer and trip and clock functions, the compact-new LCD instrumentation displays charge levels of both the main and second optional battery, as well as STD or ECO riding mode indicators and icons for smartphone app connection, missed calls and email notifications. Charging status can be seen on the battery itself or on the meter when charging the battery and a charger connected indicator is also featured. Other features include a turtle icon for when power output is restricted, a smart key check light and a ready to ride "RUN" indicator.

Technical highlights New and updated features New Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) New radar-linked front/rear assisted Unified Brake System (UBS) New millimetre wave radar New 7-inch full-colour TFT meter instruments New smartphone connectivity New Garmin enabled full-screen navigation Refined and integrated KYB electronically controlled suspension New Communication Control Unit New integrated riding modes New ergonomic handlebar switch clusters New USB A outlet Refined height-adjustable riders seat and new seat cover material New clear smoke front/rear brake fluid reservoirs Dedicated colouring and finishing Refined sidecase mounts with damper system New 3rd generation quickshifter for seamless acceleration Larger diameter rear disc brake Revised rear caliper, rear master cylinder and rear brake pedal Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) TRACER 9 GT+ is the first Yamaha to be equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and this advanced new system offers all the advantages of cruise control together with the ability to automatically maintain a fixed distance from the vehicle ahead. With a conventional cruise control system if the rider is getting closer to a vehicle in front, they need to deselect the system or apply their brakes which automatically disengages the system. However, with the new ACC system an inbuilt millimetre wave radar constantly measures the distance from the vehicle immediately ahead of the TRACER 9 GT+. The ACC automatically controls cruising speed, deceleration, and acceleration to suit the road situation as it evolves. The ACC is adjustable, and when the machine is in motion its rider can select one of four different following distance options to suit their individual preferences, displayed as one bar for shortest following distance, and four bars for the longest following distance. ACC offers a number of advantages, including reducing rider fatigue by requiring fewer rider inputs, as well as ensuring improved ride quality by maintaining a constant following distance, and also promoting smooth traffic flow. When the ACC system is active the new 7-inch TFT meter displays a green icon (with grey for standby) and shows between 1 and 4 white bars beneath a car icon to confirm the selected following distance. When the ACC determines that the rider is too close to the vehicle in front or if it senses that the machines current acceleration/deceleration status will soon lead to the rider getting too close, rider intervention request icon appears on the meter to notify the rider that appropriate action is required to avoid following too close. ACC operates between 30 km/h and 160 km/h in 1 & 2 gears from 30 km/h, in 3 & 4 gears from 40 km/h, and in 5 & 6 gears from 50 km/h. Speed can be increased and decreased in either 1 km/h or 10 km/h increments by pushing once or holding down the adjustment switch. ACC is deactivated by braking or gripping the clutch lever for more than 1 second, or rolling forward the throttle twist grip, beyond the throttle stop. This easy to understand ACC status is shown in all screen modes including navigation mode and provides an additional rider aid that is designed to enhance the riding experience, particularly on busy highways. Additional ACC functions As well as maintaining a pre-selected following distance, ACC also features cornering assist whereby it inhibits speed increases when the system detects that the machine is cornering, and if the radar detects a vehicle ahead it will also limit the level of acceleration when following. The ACCs passing assist accelerates the TRACER 9 GT+ more smoothly than normal when it senses that the bikes flasher is turned on and the motorcycle is performing an overtaking manoeuvre. ACC is also integrated with the engine, and electronic suspension, and in order to maintain the pre-selected distance to the vehicle ahead, the engine braking and brakes are activated in that order to slow the bike. At the same time the electronic suspensions damping force is adjusted to reduce excess pitching when brakes are applied to maintain chassis stability. With its ability to intervene automatically and adjust levels of speed, throttle opening, engine braking, braking and suspension when following a vehicle as well as when cornering and overtaking the sophisticated ACC provides a natural and seamless riding experience. Used for the very first time on a Yamaha, this best-in-class electronic technology takes highway comfort to a whole new level. The easy to operate ACC reduces the riders mental and physical inputs and gives enhanced comfort and convenience for an unrivalled ride quality, making the TRACER 9 GT+ Yamahas ultimate Sport Tourer. Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Icon Performance Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ Power Grey Radar-linked front/rear assisted Unified Brake System As the flagship model in Yamahas Sport Touring line, the TRACER 9 GT+ has been chosen to debut a range of innovative new best-in-class technology including the motorcycling worlds first ever radar-linked Unified Brake System (UBS). The new system is an active design that offers increased controllability by using data from the millimetre wave radar and the 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) to assist and regulate front and rear braking forces, via the Bosch hydraulic unit that optimises control and bias of the braking system. There are three main elements to the radar-linked Unified Brake System that operate only when the BC (Brake Control) is turned ON. Firstly, brake assist intervenes when the system detects that a collision is imminent. Secondly, front/rear brake assistance adjusts braking forces to both wheels for stable deceleration. And thirdly, cornering brake control automatically adjusts braking force to inhibit tyre slippage when the machine is leaned over. The radar-linked, Unified Brake System constantly analyses following distance data from the millimetre wave radar. If the system calculates that the riders braking inputs are insufficient to prevent a collision with the vehicle ahead it will increase brake pressure to the front and rear wheels to help slow the TRACER 9 GT+. The previously described ACC system will also automatically slow the TRACER 9 GT+ when a preselected following distance is reached, but as soon as the rider applies the brakes the ACC is deactivated and at this point the radar-linked Unified Brake System will intervene if it determines that the riders braking inputs are not sufficient to prevent a collision. The system provides additional braking assistance and will only intervene when the BC is turned ON and the rider is braking it is not a collision avoidance system. The second element is the front/rear assisted Unified Brake System that adjusts front/rear braking force distribution. When only the front brake is used by the rider the hydraulic unit automatically applies braking force to the rear wheel, with the degree of intervention calculated using IMU data related to changes in acceleration and lean angle. When the only the rear brake is used the system will sometimes but not always apply additional braking force to the front wheel via the hydraulic unit depending on the brake pedal input and IMU data regarding the bikes attitude The third element is the cornering brake control. This is in effect a cornering brake control system that considers machine running data from the IMU and instantly adjusts the riders braking forces to inhibit tyre slippage. The radar-linked Unified Brake System is linked to the electronic suspension, and as well as assisting and regulating front and rear braking forces it also adjusts front and rear suspension damping to maintain chassis stability. ABS always operates whether the BC is turned ON or OFF. Millimetre wave radar Both the new Adaptive Cruise Control and the radar-linked Unified Brake System use data from the new millimetre wave radar that detects the distance of the vehicle immediately ahead of the motorcycle. Weighing only 200g, this compact, integrated radar unit is situated behind a new protective cover at the front of the TRACER 9 GT+. New 7-inch full colour TFT meter TRACER 9 GT+ riders have a choice of three different screen themes with the new full-colour TFT high luminosity meter. Each screen theme is designed to convey a different feeling to suit different riding styles and varying personal preferences. With options giving a clean, contemporary look, a stripped down sports style with or a visual identity inspired by Yamahas Jin-Ki Kanno development ideal, there is a visual theme to suit each rider. In all three meter themes the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is featured prominently, enabling riders to instantly see the systems distance setting and selected cruising speed. New smartphone connectivity For an enriched riding experience smartphone connectivity comes as standard on the TRACER 9 GT+. A Communication Control Unit enables riders to link their smartphone with the machine using Yamahas free MyRide app. The connection can be made via USB*, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and once connected the rider can view information on incoming calls, emails, and messages on the TFT instruments. Riders and passengers can also listen to music and respond to calls with a Bluetooth-connected headset*, adding a new dimension to every ride, whether long distance touring or commuting to work. TRACER 9 GT+ riders can also view a range of menus and functions using the new ergonomic controls on the left handlebar, and when the bike isnt moving its new high luminosity 7-inch TFT screen is able to display everything from weather reports to detailed notifications. *Not included with the TRACER 9 GT+ New Garmin full-screen navigation capability Garmin full-screen navigation can be easily installed, all the rider needs to do is connect their smartphone via the free MyRide app and download the Garmin Motorise app**. A full-screen navigation window can be opened on the connected TFT instruments, and the TRACER 9 GT+ rider can select from a choice of different types of routes such as fastest, shortest, highway and more and spoken turn-by-turn directions can be sent to a paired Bluetooth-connected headset*. Map data is downloaded to the smartphone and so the rider can still access navigation even when the smartphone signal may be temporarily lost in certain locations. Navigation functions include real time traffic, estimated time of arrival, and alternative routes to avoid congestion. Other useful functions are the distance that can be ridden with the remaining fuel, and real time updates display local weather information as well as the weather situation at the chosen destination, and a weekly weather forecast. Garmin Motorise also includes rider alerts that provide information on potential hazards such as sharp bends and prevailing speed limits are displayed. Theres also a Photoreal junction view that is automatically displayed in a split screen format when approaching a junction, giving information on the best lane to use for the next exit. The Garmin Motorise app can be operated by a joystick and home button on the left handlebar while the machine is stationary but the app is locked and cannot be operated when the motorcycle is moving. *Not included with the TRACER 9 GT * * Garmin Motorise requires a subscription service agreement. New 3 generation quickshifter integrated with ACC Unlike conventional cruise control systems which disengage when a rider uses the clutch or shifts gear, TRACER 9 GT+ riders can change gear using the new 3 generation quickshifter even when the ACC is active. This new cutting edge Sport Tourer is the first Yamaha to be equipped with the 3 generation quickshifter that gives an even wider range of functionality by allowing clutchless downshifts when accelerating and clutchless upshifts when decelerating. For example, if the rider is cruising with ACC active at 100 km/h in 6th gear and is then automatically slowed by a car in front, the rider can downshift to suit the reduced riding speed without the ACC disengaging. Similarly, when cruising downhill with ACC in a lower gear the rider can shift up to reduce engine braking without losing ACC. n order to retain a natural riding feeling the 3 generation quickshifter will not operate in certain situations where engine rpm is extremely low or high, and also when the machine is neither accelerating nor decelerating. In these circumstances the quickshifter icon on the new TFT instrument meter will indicate whether or not the quickshifter can be used, and once the speed or rpm is changed the system will resume operation Integrated KYB electronically controlled KADS semi-active suspension The TRACER 9 GT+ is equipped with the most advanced electronic control technology to be found on any production Yamaha motorcycle, underlining Yamahas commitment to the Sport Touring category. The new generation KADS (KYB Actimatic Damper System) electronically controlled suspension system has been developed jointly with KYB and is designed to provide exciting sports performance together with an extremely comfortable ride. This fully integrated front and rear suspension system is governed by the 6-axis IMU which monitors various sensors and automatically adjusts the damping forces via the Hydraulic Unit (HU) and Suspension Control Unit (SCU). KADS can be set in Sport or Comfort mode and is able to adapt itself to a wide variety of riding styles by constantly adjusting damping forces to suit the prevailing riding conditions. By analysing IMU data including the bikes lean angle and acceleration, this sophisticated suspension system delivers a high quality ride with unmatched roadholding and elevated feelings, providing levels of confidence that confirm the TRACER 9 GT+ as Yamahas ultimate Sport Tourer. Like every other electronic system featured on this highly capable motorcycle, the KYB suspension is fully integrated to always ensure stable handling performance, and it operates in conjunction with the ACC, front/rear assist Unified Brake System, as well as the radar-linked Unified Brake System and brake control. The electronically controlled suspensions handling characteristics are also affected by the Integrated riding modes selection, and damping settings are instantaneously adjusted via a solenoid to achieve a smooth and comfortable ride in a variety of load and riding conditions. Integrated riding modes TRACER 9 GT+ benefits from a refined D-Mode (the engine character selection) that is now fully integrated with the machines 6-Axis IMU and comprehensive suite of lean-sensitive rider aids. Previously D-Mode (the engine character selection) has operated completely separately to the various electronically controlled rider aids which required individual adjustment. This new system is more intuitive, being much easier to understand and use on-the-y. The rider has the option to select one of four integrated riding modes options: Sport, Street, Rain or Custom all of which now work in conjunction with the engine character selection (D-mode), the traction control, slide control, lift control and electronic suspensions damping control to ensure enhanced controllability in a wide variety of riding situations. The Sport, Street and Rain selectable options feature embedded factory settings with different intervention levels to suit different conditions, and these pre-set modes have been developed by Yamahas designers using feedback from test riders. The fourth Custom option enables the rider to manually select their own intervention settings for the various electronically controlled rider aids and save it as their tailored mode. New ergonomic handlebar switch clusters Newly designed handlebar switch assemblies employing a joystick and home button enable the rider to operate the wider range of functions, including smartphone connectivity and navigation. Both the right and left side clusters feature a clear, logical layout and simple design and their ergonomic layout gives smooth thumb movement for easy and intuitive operation. The switch clusters are back-lit for easier identification and use in the dark. Refined height-adjustable riders seat and new seat cover material The height adjustable riders seat is upgraded with new padding and a revised shape for increased comfort. While a new leather-style cover is used to enhance the overall feeling of quality and pride of ownership of this flagship Sport Tourer. Its now a more comfortable and refined place to spend a long days ride. Larger diameter rear disc brake For improved feel the rear brake diameter is increased by nearly 9% to 267mm, the rear caliper design is revised, and a new brake pedal as well as new clear smoke front and rear uid reservoirs enhance the overall feeling of premium quality. Detail changes To accommodate its higher specification and give an even more refined riding experience and pride of ownership the TRACER 9 GT+ features various detail changes, including a new USB A outlet, a newly designed instrument panel bracket and revised windscreen stays. In addition, a new rear footbrake pedal bracket matches the new rear brake system. Dedicated colouring and finishing To underline its position as the most refined and desirable Yamaha Sport Tourer, the TRACER 9 GT+ is offered in two exclusive multi-toned colour schemes: Icon Performance and Power Grey. Both colourways employ a hand masked split-paint design to enhance the powerful body design and finishing quality. EU5 890cc CP3 engine producing strong, linear torque TRACER 9 GT+ is driven by Yamahas highly acclaimed EU5 890cc CP3 engine that produces strong, linear torque, making this flagship Sport Tourer a remarkable performer whether touring through the Alps or commuting to the office. Equipped with Yamahas Acceleration Position Sensor Grip (APSG) and Yamaha Chip Controlled throttle (YCC-T), this lightweight system eliminates the need for cables and pulleys and delivers superb response with a natural feeling. Lightweight CF aluminium die-cast frame The TRACER 9 GT+ features a wide range of Yamaha-exclusive technology, including the aluminium die-cast main frame that has been manufactured using the companys exclusive CF (Controlled Filling) system. This special system enables the construction of extremely light and strong frames with varying wall thicknesses which gives an optimised rigidity balance for superior handling performance. Unsprung weight is minimised with the use of a lightweight aluminium swinging arm, and the SpinForged wheels also manufactured using a Yamaha-exclusive technology not only help to enhance suspension action, but they also reduce the moment of inertia to make a significant contribution towards the machines light and agile handling character. Full LED lighting and cornering lights Lighting is a full LED system, and Yamahas sophisticated cornering lights are standard equipment on the TRACER 9 GT+. When the machine is travelling at 5 km/h or faster and the lean angle exceeds 7 the cornering lights automatically illuminate the inside of the turn whether low or high beam is being used giving a larger illuminated area of road All-season riding comfort Yamahas premium Sport Tourer is designed for those riders who tend to ride all year and like to take on all kinds of riding, whenever and wherever. TRACER 9 GT+ is built to deliver all-season riding comfort and is equipped with a large 10-level adjustable windscreen as well as 10-stage adjustable grip heaters that make the longest ride more enjoyable.

TRACER 9 is available in Redline as well as the newly introduced Midnight Black. Yamaha Tracer 9 GT Midnight Black Fri, 11 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/suzuki-show-off-new-800-range-for-2023 V-Strom 800DE Product Information Born to explore, the V-Strom 800DE is an all-new adventure bike designed to allow riders to journey without limits. Boasting fully adjustable suspension with 220mm of travel, a 21-inch front wheel, 220mm of ground clearance, and an electronics package with additional features geared around performance when the road ends, the V-Strom 800DE is the new master of adventure. Engine At the heart of the new V-Strom 800DE is a new parallel twin engine. The 776cc, DOHC powerplant produces 84.3PS peak power at 8,500rpm, with 78Nm of peak torque at 6800rpm. Peak power is slightly higher than the GSX-8S due to the different exhaust system. Designed to be slim and compact, to expand the possibilities for overall design flexibility, the long-stroke motor with four valves per cylinder produces smooth but potent torque throughout the low rpm, before going on to deliver free-revving performance through to the top end. This performance is aided through the use of a 270 crankshaft design, which delivers high levels of torque and positive traction - extra-beneficial off-road - and a pleasing rumble to its exhaust note, ensuring it retains a character more akin to Suzukis famed V-twins. A Suzuki Cross Balancer, an innovative new primary balancer design, reduces unwanted vibration and helps achieve a compact and lightweight package that enhances the V-Strom 800DEs agile handling Chassis Wire-spoked wheels come in the form of a 21-inch front and a 17-inch rear, shod with Dunlop Trailmax Mixtour tyres. Further boosting the new V-Stroms ability to traverse rougher terrain with ease is 220mm of suspension travel, controlled by fully adjustable hardware from Showa, and 220mm of ground clearance. A tough steel frame provides the strength needed for negotiating tracks and trails and provides excellent straight-line stability and agile handling. Beyond its strength, the use of steel also allows for a larger capacity fuel tank and optimal rider ergonomics thanks to the size of these strong steel sections compared to other materials. The seat rails are engineered to withstand the impacts and pressures of riding on trails and feature a narrow profile that helps riders better control the bike with their legs. Further helping riders control the new V-Strom 800DE on and off-road are wide, tapered, aluminium bars and steel - though rubber-covered - foot pegs. A long wheelbase aids stability, helped by an aluminium swingarm with a unique shape that enhances vertical, lateral, and torsional rigidity. Electronics A ride-by-wire throttle provides a natural feel and synchronises with a range of electronic features that further enhance the V-Strom 800DEs performance in a range of riding situations. Like the bigger V-Strom 1050DE, it gets a traction control system with three on-road modes, which provide varying levels of intervention, plus the introduction of a G (Gravel) mode for use off-road. G mode allows more wheelspin, which is suppressed only enough to help prevent excessive slip, so power continues to be delivered to the rear wheel with minimum interruption. As a result, the rider gets the consistent power output they want. More experienced riders can also choose to disengage the traction control entirely for even more direct control. The V-Strom 800DE also has two ABS settings, providing greater or lesser intervention, plus there is the ability to disengage the rear ABS for improved confidence and control off-road. Gear changes are slick and uninterrupted thanks to a bi-directional quickshifter, meaning riders dont need to trouble the clutch lever and can keep the throttle open on upshifts, while there is no requirement to blip it on downshifts. All of the advanced rider aids are managed via a simple rocker switch on the left handlebar, and displayed - alongside speed, odometer, rev counter, and more - on a five-inch, full-colour TFT dash. Style All of the above is wrapped in a style that is both quintessentially V-Strom and modern at the same time. Harking back to Suzukis DR Big and DR-Z heritage is the notable beak design and a hero colour scheme reminiscent of the firms off-road racing exploits of the past. Even the graphics are designed to resemble motocross number boards. However, the beak is shorter, sharper, and sits higher, highlighting the space between the front mudguard and headlight, created thanks to its tall stance and 220mm of suspension travel, and new vertically stacked hexagonal LED headlights are slim, light, and compact. The lines of the bodywork are sharp with flat surfaces to create a tough look. Bold accents are introduced through the use of moulded colour parts at the tip of the beak, alongside the radiator, and below the large, 20-litre fuel tank. Angled lines set into the knee grip area of the moulded panel below the tank lend yet another subtle accent. A traditional yellow with dark blue accents and gold rims pays homage the most to Suzukis off-road pedigree, while the V-Strom 800DE will also be available in a matt mechanical grey with moulded yellow accents and black rims, and a glass sparkle black, which also comes with dark blue accents and gold wheels. GSX-8S Product Information The new GSX-8S is born to thrill, offering performance, technology, and style to those that want to work hard, and play harder. Through the combination of an all-new engine, agile chassis, ride-enhancing electronics, and an aggressive design, the GSX-8S is set to raise the middleweight naked bar. Engine Powering the all-new GSX-8S is a brand-new engine, with a focus on performance befitting of a naked streetfighter. A 270 crank ensures a punchy torque delivery, helping fire the new GSX-8S from corner to corner, while a DOHC design, with four valves per cylinder, means a clean, free-revving nature all the way to the top end. Peak torque is 78Nm at 6,800rpm while peak power is 82.9PS at 8,500rpm. But the strength of the engine goes way beyond the peak figures with strength from low rpm, a really usable mid-range and a consistent pull all the way to the top-end and those peak numbers. A truly flexible usable and exciting motor and ride experience. A Suzuki Cross Balancer, an innovative new primary balancer design, reduces unwanted vibration and helps ensure the engines compact nature, which in turn aids freedom of chassis design. Helping ensure bags of twin character from the engine without any negative vibes. The exhaust system features a short new silencer design, barely rising up and out from the right side of the engine, enhances the bikes compact look and feel and produces an intoxicating rumble. Chassis The GSX-8Ss streetfighter character continues with the ergonomics, with wide, tapered aluminium handlebars providing a sporty riding position and plenty of leverage to pitch the GSX-8S effortlessly into turns with speed and confidence. That confidence also comes from a chassis that features upside-down front forks and a rear shock from KYB, and a new aluminium swingarm with a unique shape is designed to perform with the right amount of vertical, lateral, and torsional rigidity to further enhance the GSX-8Ss flickable nature but also deliver stability and greater ride comfort. The radial front callipers bite twin 310mm discs up front and a 240mm rear disc provide the stopping power. These components all fit to a new frame engineered for direct handling characteristics, with a light - and painted - subframe helping keep weight low and aid the design of a sharp seat unit. Electronics From the seat which is designed for comfort and performance - the view is of a five-inch, full-colour TFT screen showcasing a plethora of information including speed, gear, rev counter, clock, riding range, and dual trip computers. It also shows the current settings the rider has chosen for the various advanced rider aids featured on the new GSX-8S, which includes a three-mode traction control system which can be turned off three selectable engine maps, and a bi-directional quickshifter for slick gear changes. Style The minimalist bodywork, wrapped around the slim new engine, is angular and futuristic. Other key elements of the bikes style come from its bright, light blue wheels and subframe on two of the three available colour options: a pearl cosmic blue and pearl tech white. A matt and sparkle black option is also available. Stacked hexagonal LED headlights, optional accessory LED indicators and LED running lights all contribute to a slim, compact, and aggressive stance, while fresh graphics make for a contemporary look.

The ZX-10R for 2023 has a colour TFT dash, smartphone connectivity, and 4 rider modes (Sport, Road, Rain and Rider) and electronic cruise control as standard. Styling wise the Ninja still has integrated winglets for that racing look, an Air-cooled oil cooler which is based on feedback from WSB (world superbikes) so it features an independent circuit which can be found on high performance models. Updating to the 998 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke in-line four engine offers cleaner emissions but maintains the performance from the 2022 model. High-performance suspension aimed at more circuit handling again WSB-developed BFF (Balance Free Front Fork) and BRFC lite (Balance Free Rear Cushion) shock facilitate front to rear weight transfer and contribute to the light handling of the ZX-10R, along with the high-performance Brembo brake system.

The design is fully focused on high-performance riding with the all-new aeroform design providing aerodynamic performance at speeds in excess of 350km/h. The innovation behind the X-SPR Pro is not limited to its exceptional aerodynamic performance; revised dimensions around the eye port provide a wider upper field of vision, particularly important when riding at extreme lean angles. The XSPR-Pro has been designed to give the rider a winning advantage. If you are interested in the SHOEI XSPR-PRO here at 5-WAYS we are one of a handful of stores that actually have some in stock in the whole of the UK. So come in-store and see what one of the most technically advanced helmets looks and feels like. THE TRUE RACING HELMET ECE 22.06/FIM Certified Integrated spoiler and wings New aerodynamic channels Newly developed rear stabilizer Wider eye port for increased vision CWR-F2R visor with central locking mechanism A new completely modular interior system Independently adjustable centre pad system Cheek pad angle adjustment system Ventilation system optimised for high-performance riding Multi-density EPS liner construction Integrated moulding for hydration system 4 different outer shell constructions AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE The aerodynamic shape enables the wearer to focus on the riding even at very high speeds. The shape of the helmet shell was designed in pursuit of the highest level of aerodynamic performance. The X-SPR Pro has more enhanced aerodynamic performance than the XS3 thanks to an uncompromised attention to detail, with more than 150 shape changes made through the wind tunnel testing process. SHOEIs superior helmet shell moulding technology has enabled the bottom part of the helmet to be distinctly narrowed from the chin bar to the rear, and together with the updated shape of the rear stabiliser and rear flap, the stabilising effect has been greatly enhanced. The newly developed rear stabiliser takes air into the tunnels on the upper left and right, exhausting the air backward through the rear stabiliser and the back of the rear flap. This results in a more aerodynamically balanced shape. In addition, pronounced edges on the left and right sides of the top of the helmet combined with the concave top surface of the stabiliser provide enhanced aerodynamic performance. This area stands out in terms of the helmet design itself making the helmet balanced in both style and safety. SHOEI made these features possible with collaborative efforts by bringing the ideas from its production, testing and development teams. LINER The impact absorbing dual liner consists of multiple pieces with different hardness. Upon impact it effectively absorbs the impact in balance with the rigidity of shell. In addition, air routes between the layered structure effectively exhaust hot air and moisture. SHIELD SYSTEM The newly designed CWR-F2R shield/visor provides a wider range of upper field vision, particularly important on racing machines with extreme lean angels. MotoGP riders, including world champion Marc Marquez, have expressed their appreciation of the wide field of vision. This contributes to the safety of those who slide their elbows on the tarmac such as MotoGP / WSBK riders. The X-SPR Pro features a central shield/visor locking mechanism. When the shield/visor is closed, the seal is more secure than ever, preventing wind noise and keeping rain and wind from entering the helmet. The centre locking section has a double shield locking mechanism that greatly reduces the risk of accidental shield/visor release in the event of an accident Additionally, the shield base plate section is equipped with a newly designed trigger lock mechanism. Activating this function locks the trigger lever on the base plate, preventing the shield/visor from opening due to an impact of a crash. PINLOCK PIN is used in conjunction with the tear-off button and is positioned outside of the riders field of vision, allowing for a wider view even when PINLOCK EVO is installed. This gives the rider an even more concentrated riding experiences during the race. PERFECT FIT AND PERFORMANCE The independently adjustable centre pad system has been further refined from the previous model. Each pad is shaped like a pocket, allowing the rider to customise the fitting to their own head shape, including adjustability at the front and back, and left and right widths. Cheek pads utilise the two different angle adjustment system as the previous model, and the area in contact with the cheek is 16.5% larger providing a more secure fit at the speeds more than 350km/h. VENTILATION Ventilation system is positioned in optimised locations for racing use. Ventilation performance is maximised when in a tucked position. The upper air intake has four intake holes. A total of six air outlets, two each in the left and right outlets and two in the air stabilizer, made the X-SPR PRO possible to achieve higher ventilation efficiency than its predecessor. The cheek ventilation system, well appreciated in the previous model, has been significantly improved. Ventilation holes have been added in the cheek area for better ventilation performance. The number of ventilation holes on the inside of the helmet is approximately double that of the previous model, this enhanced ventilation enables the riders to race comfortably under the extreme conditions. HYDRATION The inner surface shape of the chin bar is designed for the installation of a hydration system. The optional hydration kit currently under development will help riders maintain concentration during the long lap races in extreme midsummer conditions typical of endurance races.

Fri, 09 Sep 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/suzuki-announce-the-new-1050-and-1050de Suzuki globally unveiled the new V-Strom 1050DE and new V-Strom 1050 on 05-09-22 and there seems to be nothing but good within the changes. The 1050DE replaces the 1050XT as theflagship adventure model, it adds more off-road capability and gets a series of performance enhancements shared with a new V-Strom 1050, plus additional features, modifications, and enhancements designed to improve its performance when the highway ends. For 2023, both the new V-Strom 1050DE and V-Strom 1050 feature a new, full-colour TFT instrument display and a bi-directional quickshifter, while retaining a suite of complex electronic features that benefit the rider, these include: 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Lean angle-sensitive ABS with combined ABS and two sensitivity modes Slope-dependent control Load-dependent control Hill hold Cruise control 3 power modes 3 traction control settings In addition, the V-Strom 1050DE specifically gets: 21-inch spoked front wheel with Dunlop TRAILMAX MIXTOUR tyres New design spoked rear wheel Increased suspension travel, ground clearance and revised chassis geometry/ergonomics 40mm wider handlebars Steel off-road style footpegs On/off switchable rear ABS Additional off-road gravel (G- mode) traction control setting. Fixed rider seat design Smoke-tinted lower screen Steel engine bars Aluminium sump guard V-STROM 1050DE V-STROM 1050 Styling The new V-Strom 1050DE and V-Strom 1050 channel the design ethos of Suzukis iconic DR-Z800 offroad racer. While both models embody the DR-Z with a similar silhouette, beak, and obvious design cues, the DE goes further in its homage with a traditional yellow and white livery, complete with gold rims. Electronics A new bi-directional quickshifter is found on both the V-Strom 1050DE and V-Strom 1050 and enables clutchless up and downshifts for smoother gear changes and enhanced performance both on and off road. The various elements that comprise the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) are shown to the rider via a new custom 5-inch full-colour TFT instrument display on both 1050DE and 1050 V-Stroms. It keeps the rider fully aware of all the bikes systems and settings, it also supplies real-time operating status information. The rider can also use manual or automatic switching for the day (white) and night (black) display modes to maximize visibility at any time or in any riding situation. The 2023 V-Strom 1050 includes a six-axis IMU used to govern systems such as lean angle-sensitive ABS and combined ABS with slope and load-dependent control, plus hill hold control, while an updated ride-by-wire throttle responds faithfully to the riders input and delivers a more natural feel, with a slightly stiffer grip action when opening. Suzuki Drive Mode Selector, with three modes, remains, as does a three-mode traction control system (plus off), cruise control, low RPM assist and Suzukis easy-start function. For 2023 the new V-Strom 1050DE adds an extra gravel (G-mode) to its available traction control settings, specifically designed for use off-road. The additional mode retards ignition timing and allows more rear wheel slip. This continues to deliver power to the rear wheel without interruption and suppressing it only enough to help prevent excessive wheel spin. As a result, the bike remains controllable and the rider still gets the consistent power output they want. While the V-Strom 1050s SIRS package includes two ABS modes, allowing riders to choose from different sensitivity settings, the new V-Strom 1050DE adds the ability to disengage the ABS from the rear wheel entirely, giving riders more freedom and control off-road. Genuine Accessories Owners can further enhance the V-Strom 1050DE and V-Strom 1050s levels of practicality to suit their own needs, with a comprehensive collection of accessories including items such as full aluminium luggage, heated grips, lower seat options, and fog lamps. Questions? Suzuki has said that the new models will hopefully be with us by January 2023, and that pricing will be out as soon as possible. We will aim to update this post with that information as soon as it is released. Models areexpected to be on Display at Motorcycle live in November. For more information please let us know here.

Yamahas ambassador Pol Tarrs reaches a 6.157,5-meter altitude on his Tenere 700. Restlessly dreaming of riding vertically till the end of the world, Pol Tarrs had no choice but to take action. In a record time of as little as three months, a prophetic dream grew into a creative project of the Trece Racing Society and The Who production company. Faithful to his obsession for the roads less travelled, Pol turned his eyes toward the Mercedario mountain in Argentina. The main purpose of our expedition was to test the bike and the rider in the toughest conditions possible, going Alpine style all the way. On the 12th of March, I took off from the base camp 3.000m high, did 10km and slept at the intermediate camp at 4.500. On the 14th, I touched the highest point ever reached on a twin-cylinder bike, 6.157,5 meters. The bike torture test showed that Yamaha Tenere 700 is ready for 7.000. Pol showed once again that he was born ready - his free ride to Cerro Mercedario, one of the highest mountains of the Andes, made its way to the Guinness World Records book and made him yearn for MORE. The adventure continues. Always. Visit us online to view Yamaha's Adventure Range, including the Tenere 700, the Tenere 700 Rally Edition and the Tenere 700 World Raid. Fri, 20 May 2022 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-announce-the-xsr125-legacy New XSR125 Legacy: Capturing the spirit of motorcycling Yamaha has always been committed to building characterful motorcycles for the widest range of riders. Since July 1955 the needs and desires of the rider have always been the main focus of attention when developing new models. It is this customer-centric philosophy that has enabled the company to create iconic and game-changing models that have helped to change the face of motorcycling over the past seven decades. The companys mission can be summed up by the Japanese word Kando: That is to create deeply satisfying products that inspire the heart and spirit and the new XSR125 Legacy is a perfect example of Kando in action. Developed from the extremely successful XSR125 that was launched in 2021, the XSR125 Legacy features the same 125cc VVA engine and chassis architecture. However, the XSR125 Legacy benefits from a number of stylistic changes that transform the character of the motorcycle to give it a unique neo-retro look with a truly individual feel. These refinements give the new model a distinctive silhouette and individual character that reinforce its links with classic Yamahas from the past while underlining the ethos of the Sport Heritage brand: Inspired by the past, built for the future. The XSR125 Legacy is indeed built to be a part of the future for every rider beginner, experienced or returning who appreciates timeless style and is looking for up-to-the-minute engine and chassis technology that delivers a quality ride. Yamaha Sport Heritage goes from strength to strength Since the introduction of the first Yamaha Sport Heritage models the segment has proved to be a great success with riders of all ages and experiences who appreciate the special way these machines blend authentic style and individual character with modern technology and sports performance. The XSR brand has quickly established itself as the definitive line for riders who appreciate iconic motorcycles with real character and genuine charm. Yet at the same time as paying tribute to some of Yamahas most iconic models from a previous era, the latest XSR700 and XSR900 are also engineered to deliver high levels of engine, chassis, and braking performance giving their riders the very best of both worlds. Lightweight spoked wheels The XSR125 Legacy is equipped with a range of model-specific features that work together harmoniously to create a machine with a special character that is sure to be appreciated by the many riders who love timeless style. The lightweight spoked wheels are reminiscent of the designs used on Yamahas pioneering racing machines from the 1960s and 1970s and are fundamental to giving this new Sport Heritage bike an authentic look and feel. Gold-coloured rims The XSR125 Legacys classic spoked wheels are equipped with beautifully finished gold-coloured alloy rims that underline the bikes excellent build quality and reinforce its strong connection with some of Yamahas iconic models from the past. Set against the all-black bodywork and chassis, the combination of spoked wheels and gold rims gives this 125cc neo-retro a truly individual character and timeless look that perfectly captures the spirit of the Faster Son's philosophy. Dedicated colours and graphics New graphics have been developed to echo the look of the larger capacity XSR models and reinforce the close family ties of the Sport Heritage line. Gold and silver pinstripes highlight the classic shape of the rounded fuel tank, while the minimalist gold coloured graphic on the side panels complements the gold-coloured rims.

Our dealership area now covers the majority of East Yorkshire, as well as some of South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and a large chunk of North Lincolnshire.We deliver nationwide by arrangement and regularly deliver motorcycles and scooters to big cities and towns like Doncaster, Grimsby, Wakefield, Rotherham, Market Weighton, York, Scarborough, Scunthorpe, Immingham, Sheffield and York.

Yamaha Motorcycles Yamaha were our first franchise way back in 1981, back then as now Yamaha had a fantastic reputation and range of bikes, whether you were a learner on a small cc model or scooter or a seasoned bike rider on a model such as the stunning V-Max which was launched in the 80s along with all the other models like the YZF-Rs, Fazers, RDs and Viragos. Looking at today's range of Yamahas there are so many incredible machines from the Sports Heritage models, the iconic Supersport bikes, Adventure and the ever popular Hyper Naked MT range. Kawasaki Motorcycles In1992 5-Ways became the official dealer for the area and what a decade the 90's were all about the ZZ-R1100 which held the record for the fastest production motorcycle for 6 years. In 2000 theThe ZX-12R came along, but legislation meant all the Japanese manufacturers agreed, shall we say, to tone down top speeds! In 2022 we were awarded the Kawasaki Performance of a lifetime award (POAL) - a status of excellence in all things Kawasaki awarded only to dealers who strive for excellence in customer service. The current Kawasaki range is vast, it's fair to say there is probably a bike for everyone, from the racing pedigree legends like the ZX-10R and performance models to the Versys Adventure range, click below to see the bikes. Suzuki Motorcycles 2005 brought Suzuki into the 5-Ways showroom. Suzuki had a rich heritage of stunning motorcycles with bulletproof reliability, racing accolades and world records. The Hayabusa which took the fastest production bike title from Honda when it was introduced in 1999, which is now back again in all new design, and launched in 2005 the GSX-R1000 set a new standard and went on to win the WSB Championship in the hands of Troy Corser. Todays Suzuki lineup has some fantastic motorcycles with the V-Strom in 650 and 1050 guise, and of course the GSX-R models.

Since then, Yamaha has been at the forefront in the development of lightweight and compact electric drive units for eBikes, with approximately 7 million produced in three decades. In recent years the demand for eBikes has grown exponentially, with more than 5 million sold in Europe in 2021 many equipped with Yamaha drive units therefore the company has made the decision to expand its production capacity and start producing drive units in Europe.

No limits. Forty years ago the original XT600 Tnr made real adventure a possibility for everyone. Developed from Yamahas Dakar race bikes, the first Tnr literally opened up a new world for any rider with the desire to get away from the ordinary, escape from their comfort zone and see new faraway places. Since the 1980s many thousands of riders have chosen the Tnr as their long-distance travel companion. During this time Yamahas original adventure bike has continuously evolved, and more recently the introduction of the Tnr 700 has inspired a new generation of riders to chase the Next Horizon. In a very short period of time, the Tnr 700 has earned the respect of riders all over the globe who appreciate its high torque CP2 engine, versatile chassis and unrivalled durability and reliability. It is a worthy successor to the original bike that changed motorcycling forever, and in just a few years it has become the model of choice for a diverse group of riders who value the accessibility and freedom that it offers. Its also shown its incredible versatility in the hands of legendary names such as multiple roundthe world rider Nick Sanders through to extreme enduro legend Pol Tarrs. Following the huge success of the Tnr 700 and the Tnr 700 Rally Edition, Yamaha are now ready to launch the ultimate long-distance Yamaha adventure bike that is designed to offer a whole new world of possibilities to everyone who has the spirit of adventure within their soul. New Tnr 700 World Raid: Fuel your life with a New Horizon The Tnr 700 was just the beginning. Now Yamaha is about to open up a new dimension in adventure riding with the latest Tnr 700 World Raid a premium long-distance motorcycle that offers excellent on/off-road ability combined with outstanding versatility and enjoyable riding character. This third member of the Tnr 700 family brings so much to the world of motorcycling by giving all kinds of riders the chance to live out their dreams. The world has changed dramatically in the last few years, and this motorcycle gives everyone the chance to rediscover the freedoms that were taken for granted. Equipped to go further than any previous Tnr, and featuring the most advanced specification that includes state-of-the-art suspension for added confidence and comfort, improved ergonomics, rally-inspired styling and multi-mode instruments with an incoming call and text message notifications, the Tnr 700 World Raid is a motorcycle that can make the world seem a much smaller place. Twenty-three-litre capacity dual side-mounted fuel tanks The Tnr 700 World Raid is Yamahas most extreme long-distance adventure bike with the ability to go further than ever before. Adventure riders are fearless characters who are always looking for the next challenge, but the one thing thats always at the back of every long-distance riders mind is the availability of fuel in a remote environment. The new 23-litre dual side-mounted fuel tanks are designed to bring peace of mind on the longest trip and eliminate the range anxiety that every rider has experienced when the reserve light starts to flash. In typical usage conditions, these new tanks are estimated to be able to give a range of up to 500 km, giving a higher level of autonomy that makes the Tnr 700 World Raid a master of the wilderness. The unique twin side-mounted design offers a number of significant advantages compared to simply making the tank higher and wider in order to increase its capacity. By having two separate tanks that are positioned lower, and locating the fuel pump in a lower position in one of the tanks, the bikes centre of gravity can be kept almost the same as with the existing Tnr 700 that has a 16-litre tank helping to maintain agile handling despite the increased weight of a larger fuel load. The vehicle mass is further centralised, with an ideal weight distribution between front and rear. An important feature of this new layout is that the highest point on the new twin side-mounted tanks is lower than the top of the tank on the Tnr 700, reducing the height difference between the tank and seat to give a much flatter profile for increased rider mobility and easier front/rear weight shifting when riding off-road. Another benefit of this dual tank design is that the movement of the fuel is limited, compared to a one big tank layout and this gives benefit especially while cornering. And finally, the Tnr 700 World Raids dual side-mounted fuel tanks are not only a reminder of the bikes desert rally heritage but are also clear evidence of the DNA this new adventure model shares with some of Yamahas most successful factory race bikes. Flat seat for improved rider agility As well as the reduced height of the new dual tank design, the Tnr 700 World Raid also benefits from a new 890 mm high seat that gives a much flatter profile for a smoother transition between the seat and tank. This design enables the rider to move backwards and forwards with minimal effort when shifting their body weight to maintain control on rough terrain, and the new ergonomics are suited to both sit-down and stand up riding positions. The seats two-piece design allows for the easy removal of the rear section to enable the fitment of accessories such as a rack or luggage. The seat is made from two different kinds of leather, with a high grip zone in the centre and a smoother zone that enables freedom of movement while riding. Five-inch colour TFT meter with mobile connectivity The new 5 colour TFT meter is linked with the bikes Communication Control Unit (CCU) which talks to the MyRide app, giving connectivity in the form of text messages and incoming call notifications that are displayed on the instrument panel and mobile battery status is displayed as soon as a connection is established. This connectivity and the ability to identify any technical issues that need rectifying provide added peace of mind and reassurance to adventure riders, especially when they are taking part in long-distance trips in unfamiliar territory. Access to the relevant information is crucial on every long-distance expedition, and Tnr 700 World Raid riders can choose from three different themes on the new 5 colour TFT meter. The Explorer screen layout features a modern digital design that provides all of the machines key running data in a contemporary and easy to read style. The Street screen features a tachometer with a circular dial and needle that give a more conventional look from the analogue era, and the Raid screen is inspired by a typical rally racing roadbook and features two independent countdown tripmeters that enable the rider to see the distance to the next waypoint. Located to the right of the dashboard area there is a USB type-A socket that can power navigation systems or charge mobile devices. Three-mode on/off-roadABS For optimal controllability in varying riding conditions, the new Tnr 700 World Raid is equipped with three-mode ABS that can be selected when the bike is stationary, via a specialmenu available in the meter, operated by the right handle switch. Mode 1 is fully on, with both wheels benefitting from ABS as required legally while riding on public roads. Mode 2 and 3 have been introduced for non-public road riding. In detail, Mode 2 (a new function developed for Tnr 700 World Raid) is front-wheel on, rear-wheel o????, and this is the recommended mode for terrain such as gravel tracks, where low levels of grip are likely to be experienced. Mode 3 is fully off, suitable for experienced riders who want to enjoy pure off-roadriding. The instrument panel shows when Mode 2 and Mode 3 are active, and the rider can return immediately to Mode 1 at any time when moving or standing still by pressing a button on the left side of the instrument panel. High specification 43 mm KYB front forks, 230 mm travel For refined off-roadhandling performance, the suspension system on the Tnr 700 World Raid features a number of significantupgrades. Newly designed 43 mm KYB front forks give 230 mm of wheel travel 20 mm more than the Tnr 700 offering increased shock absorption potential on rough terrain. The new forks are equipped with a spring preload adjuster, in addition to the rebound and compression damping adjusters and air bleeding screw already featured on the Tnr 700, enabling the rider to set the suspension to suit different terrain and loads. For increased durability with reduced internal friction, the longer travel 43 mm front forks feature a resilient Kashima coating applied on outer tube, with a distinctive dark bronze colour, while lightweight fork internal components are used in order to minimise weight, despite the longer stroke. hlins steering damper For better controllability particularly in o???? road riding situations an hlins steering damper is fitted as standard equipment. The mounting position is close to the top triple clamp, allowing the rider to quickly adjust the unit to his preferred levels of feel and feedback on a variety of terrain, thanks to 18 different damping settings. Tnr 700 air cleaner box The Tnr 700 family has a new air cleaner box, specifically designed to handle the extreme off-road terrain that this long-distance adventure bike is built for. The Tnr airbox has been equipped with a forward-facing intake duct that is designed to prevent ingress of dust and debris thrown up by the rear wheel. High-torque EU5 CP2 engine Yamahas iconic 689cc liquid-cooled in-line two-cylinder engine is the driving force behind the new Tnr 700 World Raid. Featuring a 270 crankshaft that gives it a characteristic uneven offering sequence, this crossplane concept CP2 engine is renowned for its strong linear torque output as well as its ultra-responsive and easily-controllable performance that makes it so enjoyable and rewarding to ride at all speeds. Compact dimensions and low weight make the CP2 unit ideal for the demands and requirements of adventure riding and with a linear torque delivery providing plenty of low to mid-range pulling power, this rugged, reliable and economical engine is particularly suited to the varied on and off-road terrain typically encountered by adventure riders. Already proven with the bestselling Tnr 700, this engine is one of Yamahas most legendary powerplants, with more than 221,000 CP2-engined units sold since its introduction. Full spec aluminium piggyback rear shock, 220 mm wheel travel The rear suspension has also been upgraded to match the new front forks and features a revised linkage design with a piggyback type shock absorber with a longer stroke. The rear suspensions damping characteristics, spring rate and linkage ratios have all been optimised in order to give a comfortable ride on the road together with the ability to take some hard hits during off-road exploration. For consistent damping performance, the new shock features an aluminium body for good heat dissipation, while the separate piggyback type oil reservoir prevents cavitation and like the forks, the new shock gives 20 mm more wheel travel, and is fully adjustable for spring preload, as well as compression and rebound damping. A new rubber bumper has been introduced as well to increase performance on energy absorption in case of bottoming. Higher windscreen, easy-to-remove side deflectors LED flashers and front cowling For additional wind protection on long-distanceadventures, the bike is fitted with a 15 mm taller screen with easy-to-remove side deflectors and LED ????ashers are original equipment. The front panels surrounding the radiator and the interior panel around the cockpit area are manufactured from tough fibreglasscomposite material. These are designed to be able to handle rugged off-road riding. Larger footrests Yamahas designers have developed the Tnr 700 World Raid to the highest specification without compromise. New larger footrests underline this close attention to detail. The larger surface area gives a greater grip for the riders boots, and also reduces pressure on the soles when riding on extreme terrain. The larger surface area also prevents mud and sand build-up, and the removable rubber inserts improve the boot/peg stability in wet conditions. By removing the rubbers inserts, the footpegs become rally-race oriented components, in terms of look and performance. New three-piece aluminium engine guard For increased protection when riding off-road, the bike is fitted with a new three-piece aluminium engine guard that helps to prevent accidental damage caused by rocks, stones and any other debris. Thanks to new suspensions with longer stroke, ground clearance is 250 mm. New radiator grille To ensure that the radiator maintains its high levels of cooling efficiencyduring off-road riding, a new radiator grille is fitted. Featuring vertical louvres like Yamahas off-road competition models, this new grille is designed to protect the radiator from debris thrown up by the front wheel.

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/suzuki-release-katana-for-2022 FORGING A NEWSTREET LEGEND From the sharp lines defining the length of its body to the performance of its 152PS engine, every detail of the Suzuki KATANA speaks of distinctive beauty. While its design cues pay due homage to the 1981 iconic GSX1100S KATANA, which stole the hearts of riders around the world, the KATANA is a thoroughly modern machine that is breathtaking to behold and inspiring to ride. HAGANE FORGED PERFECTION The high-performance 999cc four-stroke DOHC liquid-cooled inline-four engine that powers the Katana inherits true winning superbike DNA. This street-tuned engine is based on the core architecture that benefits from know-how acquired over decades of developing the GSX-R to win countless production race victories, while also incorporating advanced technologies developed for MotoGP racing. OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE Japanese swordsmiths devote countless hours to repeatedly forge, hammer, fold the raw steel to achieve the right balance needed for the blade to perform optimally. Fired by the same spirit, Suzukis development team tested and tuned each component to create a compact, lightweight chassis that is engineered to provide agility, ease of control and a fun-to-ride character. GREAT ROAD HOLDING PERFORMANCE The twin-spar aluminium alloy frame is engineered to provide nimble handling and great road-holding performance. The frames main tubes are designed to run straight from the steering head to the swingarm pivot. COMFORTABLE SEAT AND SLIM BODYWORK The sleek two-tone seat is comfortable, and the seat strap provides the passenger with a good grip. The seat height of 825mm provides comfort and allows riders to plant their feet on the ground when stopped. The slim design where the seat meets the fuel tank also helps make it easy for the riders feet to reach the ground. FULLY ADJUSTABLE FORKS The 43mm KYB inverted front forks provide 120mm of stroke for a sporty yet plush ride. The forks feature fully adjustable damping, rebound, compression and spring pre-load. The 63mm stroke of the link-type rear suspension is tuned for a superb progressive feel and to react efficiently to road surface conditions, delivering an agile and stable feel.

The ABS control unit, produced by BOSCH is compact and light weight. KIRUTHE DECISIVE CUT The sharp, cutting-edge style of the Suzuki KATANA. The Japanese KATANA is beautiful to gaze upon and unbelievably exciting to wield. The epitome of fine craftsmanship, the famed KATANA combines sophisticated Japanese aesthetics and pure beauty into a sharp design. The KATANA was developed to be a sporty styled street motorcycle that takes lean, mean retro flair and evolves it to offer thoroughly modern styling and performance. CLEAN TAIL DESIGN The KATANA uses a small rear mudguard supported by the swingarm that hugs the rear tyre. Moving it, along with the rear turn signals and number plate holder, to this position eliminates parts extending from under the seat to give the tail section clean lines and a purer, lighter look. STRIKING LED LIGHTING The vertically stacked LED headlight with a unique rectangular shape and LED front position lights accentuates the sharp look of the KATANAs face. At the back of KATANA, the LED rear combination lights feature a sharp line and unique lighting pattern that heighten the advanced look of the KATANAs styling. ADVANCED INSTRUMENTATION The LCD instrument cluster packs a wide range of useful information into a compact form. The panel features a custom display with graphics exclusive to the KATANA and white lettering on a black background. The tachometer features a peak-hold function, which shows peak rpm when rpm drops.

The rider can make suspension changes by accessing the ERS menu in the TRC settings. The ERS menu offers a choice of three semi-active damping modes (A-1, A-2 & A-3) as well as three manual settings (M-1, M-2 & M-3). When any of the automatic modes are selected the system adjusts the rebound and compression damping to match the current running conditions, and changes are constantly made to ensure that the most appropriate settings are always in play. Manual mode allows precise electronic adjustment of compression and rebound damping for both the front fork and rear shock. Managed through the YRC menu the suspension can be tailored to suit the exact rider style or riding environment required. Semi-active damping modes A-1 is a sporty mode that is designed to give confidence and feedback on twisties and secondary roads, with a high degree of front and rear feel, and good chassis stability during acceleration and braking. A-2 is best suited to sporty riding on a typical highway. A-3 is designed for touring conditions with an emphasis on comfort and stability.

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-announce-new-xsr900-for-2022 A design that prioritises the rider These designs not only speak to Yamahas origins but are also part of the heritage that the company has an obligation to pass on. It is not about prioritising design or performance it is prioritising the rider. With the XSR900, the Deltabox-style frames head pipe position is lowered and the swingarm is lengthened to improve the straight-line stability while the overall stiffness of the top triple clamp, swingarm pivot fastening bolts and engine mounts are optimised. A pure roadster platform that will respond to casual-or-more spirited riding. Together with the historically inspired riding position sitting almost above the rear wheel it creates a fun ride that arouses the senses. The torquey feel of the more powerful 889cc CP3engine and the direct connection with the throttle is part of the bikes charm. The new tuned exhaust sound underlines the unique and exciting character of this flagship Sport Heritage bike. By using Yamahas latest technologies, the engineers have focused on ensuring that the rider can experience active control of the bike and that the XSR900 is responding instantly and intuitively to the individual way that every motorcyclist rides the bike.

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/kawasaki-announce-z650rs-for-2022 Kawasaki will be introducing yet another bike into its extremely popular retro sports line with the Z650RS, opening up the mid-capacity class to a wider range of riders. Recognised as being at the forefront of the rapidly expanding retro-sport scene, Kawasaki has the unique advantage of close to fifty years of Z heritage and this has been brought to bear on the design of the new 2022 model. Targeted to younger riders and those in the earlier stages of their riding careers, the delicate balance of old and new, retro and current has been expertly achieved by the Kawasaki design team with the clever Z references abounding. At the heart of the Z650RS is an updated version of Kawasaki's venerable 649 cm3 water-cooled, parallel twin engine used in both the current Z650 and the Ninja 650 Models. With a justifiable reputation for durability and performance, the assist and slipper clutch equipped engine unit has also formed the basis of machines raced to success at the gruelling Isle of Man TT Races. Tuned in the case of the Z650RS for low and mid rev response, plus characteristic invigorating high rev performance, the engine is rated at 68 PS (50.2 kW) and will also be available from Kawasaki dealers with 35kw power down kit fitted creating an A2 compliant bike. In terms of the chassis, the frame is a tubular trellis type construction providing both lightness and agile response to aid reassuring handling capabilities. Its narrow aspect also allows riders to easily reach the ground at a standstill and manoeuvre the bike with ease. The seat height for European models will be 820mm with a low sear accessory option at 800mm. Focusing on suspension, the front duties are undertaken by 41mm conventional forks with Kawasaki's highly rated horizontal link rear suspension acting on a shock that is adjustable for pre-load. Braking is care of dual twin piston front callipers acting on a retro-style 300mm round disc rotors instead of Kawasaki's customary pedal style rotors while at the rear a single piston brake acts on a 200mm rotor all assisted by Bosch advanced ABS. The specification is one thing but the styling of the Z650RS is a whole new ball game. Evoking myriad memories of the Z650-B1, the paint and the pinstripes are a faithful reproduction of the green version of the earlier machine while the iconic 'Duck Tail' cowling behind the seat and faithfully crafted side panels also pay homage to the 1977 machines. Even the seat and its stitching pattern reveal familiar fastidious attention to detail by Kawasaki stylists. A round, LED headlamp lights the way while the dual analogue style 'artillery shell' shaped meters include a digital centre panel for rider information. The adoption of gold multi-spoke type wheels is truly the 'icing on the cake' The 2022 Z650RS will be available in three colours and three distinct styles: Metallic Spark Black, Candy Emerald Green and Metallic Moondust Gray / Ebony.

Wed, 22 Sep 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/yamaha-unveil-2022-new-60th-anniversary-colourway Yamaha has announced a new colourway to be breaking into the 2022 years line-up, along with black and blues, there will be an 'Anniversary Edition' Celebrating 60 strong years of racing on the world stage. Starting from 1961 to the present day. The following read will tell you all about it, and as to why Yamaha have chosen these models, and these new colours. 1961-2021: 60 years of World Grand Prix racing for Yamaha Racing has been an integral part of Yamahas DNA from the day that the factory was incorporated on 1 July 1955. At the time, the company proved its products on the racetrack just days after Yamaha Motor Company was founded, when the YA-1 won the Mount Fuji Ascent Race at its very first attempt on 10 July. Spurred on by this success, Yamaha entered its first international race at Catalina, USA in 1958. By now, the company was developing some of the most competitive two-stroke machines, and the decision was made to experience the ultimate test of rider and machine by entering the 250cc RD48 race bike in the World Championship Grand Prix round in France in May 1961. Competing at the highest level put the company firmly on the map and marked the beginning of the brands transformation into one of the worlds most successful and innovative motorcycle manufacturers. Just two years after Yamahas debut GP, Fumio Ito took the brands first-ever GP win on the RD56 at the Belgian Grand Prix, and the company has never looked back since that day. 1964 saw Yamaha win its first World Championship as well as its first Constructors title with Phil Read in the 250cc class, the first of many victories in that decade. It was the beginning of an incredible journey for everyone involved in the companys race programme, and during the past 60 years, Yamaha has established itself as one of the most successful manufacturers with over 500 Grand Prix race wins, along with 38 rider titles,37constructor titles and 7 team titles. Yamahas historic racing colours In 1964 the competition department debuted their 250cc Grand Prix racer with a new white fairing with a solid red stripe and red front fender. It proved to be a good omen, and factory rider Phil Read went on to win Yamahas first ever world title. This bold, simple and dynamic red/white colour scheme soon established itself as the instantly-recognisable Yamaha look in Grand Prix road racing, and was the forerunner to Yamaha speed block: arguably the most famous and best-loved colour scheme ever featured on a racing motorcycle. A white fairing with red speed block rapidly established itself as the definitive Yamaha racing colour scheme in Europe for the next two decades right through to the Rainey and Lawson era. The incredible public reaction to the recent unveiling of the factory M1 with its special 60th Anniversary speed block colours demonstrates that it is one of the companys most evocative colour schemes that are popular with riders and fans of all ages. Simple, dynamic, timeless and instantly recognisable, speed block will forever be associated with Yamaha and its highly successful GP campaigns from a very special era in the companys history. New R-Series World GP 60th Anniversary models To celebrate Yamahas long and illustrious Grand Prix racing history, the company has created a World GP 60th Anniversary livery for the 2022 R1, R7, R3 and R125 models. Just like Yamahas famous World Championship winning machinery, the World GP 60th Anniversary R1, R7, R3 and R125 feature pure white bodywork with a strong horizontal red stripe and white vertical lines creating the red speed block. This authentic race bike colour scheme features an all-red front fender and gold-coloured wheels just like winning Yamahas factory bikes and this timeless look is completed with a yellow front number plate, an anniversary emblem and a red stripe running along the top of the fuel tank and the tail. Since Yamaha made its GP debut in 1961, the company has achieved over 500 Grand Prix race wins with legendary riders including Read, Ivy, Saarinen, Agostini, Roberts, Lawson, Rainey, Lorenzo and Rossi, and more recently Quartararo and these historic racing colours highlight the connection between Yamahas race bikes and every R-Series model. World GP 60th Anniversary model highlights - White bodywork with red speed block graphics - Special 60th Anniversary emblem - Red stripe along the top of tank and tail - Red front fender - Yellow front number plate - Golden wheels Now, after that read, if you're thinking, when, where and how much there are no firm answers as of yet. All Yamaha have said is that they will be becoming available from December 2021, but no prices have been released as of the time of writing, but if you have any further questions please inquire. Thu, 16 Sep 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/kawasaki-preview-2022-z650-colour-ways As the New Colour-ways are starting to become revealed, Kawasaki has previewed the Z650 for the coming year, only a week after they had released the 2022 colour-ways for the Z1000SX and the Vulcan S. The New colour-ways are two more traditional colour varients from the green manufacturer, with the 'Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Flat Spark Black' version The 'Candy Lime Green/Metallic Spark Black variant, which is much more of a traditional Kawasaki colour-way, and thirdly the 'Pearl Robotic White/Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray' option which is pictured on the stories thumbnail. All three variants can come in the basic Z650 package, or have a Performance or an Urban Kit fitted.The Z650 Performance comes with a large smoke meter cover, a gel tank pad, a colour coded seat cover plus the sporty sound and extra performance of an Akrapovic full exhaust system. The Z650 Urban comes with a 30L top case.

Tue, 08 Jun 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/new-yamaha-r7-launched New Yamaha R7: Adding a new dimension to R/World Price: R7 Icon Blue and Yamaha Black 8,200 OTR R7 World GP 60th Anniversary 8,500 OTR Availability: November for the Icon Blue and Yamaha Black colour schemes Enquire here now While there is always going to be a place for the legendary R1M, R1 and R6, the arrival of the new R7 makes R/World a reality for many younger riders who yearn for the Supersport lifestyle. Powered by Yamahas outstandingly successful and much-loved CP2 engine that is famous for its strong and linear torque delivery as well as its reliability and low running costs the new R7 is ready to shake up the middleweight market. Clothed in exquisitely crafted bodywork and featuring an extremely high specification that includes radial-mount front brakes, inverted forks and an A&S clutch, the R7 is a new kind of motorcycle that offers exciting Supersport performance with outstanding handling and aggressive R-Series style and all of this at a highly competitive price. Light, compact and agile, this stunning looking machine is designed to give its rider the highest degree of control and the biggest fun factor in its class whether theyre riding on the track or on the street. This Supersport really is within the grasp of every rider who wants to be a part of R/World. R7 is a new reality, and have a significant impact on the Supersport world. 689cc CP2 engine: Sports performance with everyday fun With its clear focus on pure riding excitement, accessibility and affordability, the new R7 represent an exciting new dimension to the R-Series Supersport family. Regarded as one of the most characterful, responsive and reliable designs in its class, Yamahas successful 689cc CP2 engine is the perfect powerplant for this new model. Featuring a 270-degree crankshaft that gives an uneven firing sequence, the 4-stroke inline 2-cylinder DOHC 4-valve liquid-cooled CP2 engine delivers strong and linear torque across a wide rpm range, making it a lively performer in all gears and at all engine speeds. Maximum power of 73.4PS is produced at 8750 rpm, and more significantly the maximum torque is achieved at 6500rpm, giving the R7 extremely strong standing start and roll-on acceleration while the uneven pulses of the 270-degree crankshaft create a very real feeling of mounting excitement as the revs rise. Dedicated changes to the existing CP2 engine include a new ECU specification and optimised air intake ducts, as well as a revised exhaust design and idealised fuel injection settings. These measures work to enhance controllability and deliver a smooth and responsive throttle response, contributing to the enjoyable torque-rich riding experience of the R7 while also achieving full EU5 compliance. In addition to these dedicated modifications, the R7 also runs a slightly reduced secondary gear reduction ratio to give a sportier character with stronger acceleration. A&S clutch: Ultimate controllability A key new feature on the R7s CP2 engine is the adoption of an Assist & Slipper (A&S) clutch that delivers smoother gear shifting and prevents engine over-rev and rear-wheel hop during hard braking, resulting in more predictable and controllable handling when approaching corners. Another advantage of the R7s A&S clutch is that it provides a significantly lighter feel at the lever, approximately 33% less than a standard clutch. Optional Quick Shift System: Seamless upshifts for full-on acceleration R7 riders can choose to have an optional Quick Shift System (QSS) fitted to their new Supersport by the supplying Yamaha dealer. This simple but effective QSS features a switch positioned on the gear shift rod, and when any upshifting movement is detected the ECU instantaneously cuts power to the transmission for a few milliseconds, allowing for faster and smoother full-throttle upshifts for even more exhilarating acceleration. Slim and lightweight frame: Ultra-responsive handling with agile cornering Slimness and compactness are two of the defining characteristics of the R7, and this new Supersport features a lightweight backbone style frame that is designed to deliver responsive and agile handling together with fast and nimble directional changes. A rigid mounted aluminium centre brace contributes towards the bikes sharp handling performance on the track and road, and the high tensile steel frame uses tubing of varying strengths in key locations in order to achieve an idealised rigidity balance. Fully adjustable 41mm inverted forks: Easily set up for track or road. A great deal of attention has been paid to the design of the R7s new suspension package in order to achieve an accurate front end feel during cornering and braking. The new 41mm inverted front forks provide a high level of stability together with confident roadholding on racetracks and twisty roads. And to ensure a firm and predictable front end feel, a gravity cast upper triple clamp and forged aluminium lower triple clamp are featured. The R7 can be set up by the rider to suit different conditions, and these Supersport class forks are fully adjustable for preload as well as compression and rebound damping. With the compression function located in the left fork leg and the rebound function in the right leg, adjustments are quick and easy to make. For precise handling with accurate feedback, the R7s high specification inverted forks give a steep caster angle of 23.7 degrees with a 90mm trail and with a compact 1395mm wheelbase and a 51/49 front/rear-wheel weight distribution, this new Supersport is built to corner hard and fast. Newly designed link-type Monocross rear suspension The R7 adopts a redesigned link-type Monocross rear suspension system with damping characteristics and a spring rate, that are designed to suit the sporty character of the bike. Being horizontally mounted, the shock contributes towards mass centralization that enhances handling agility and is easily adjustable for preload and rebound damping, enabling the R7 chassis to be quickly set up for track or street use. Supersport riding position: Clip-ons, rearsets and solo-style riders seat The R7s sporty riding position is the result of many hours of test riding by factory riders, and the use of clip-ons confirms the bikes genuine Supersport DNA. After experimenting with a wide variety of bar/seat/footrest configurations, the final result is designed to give a sporty yet adaptable riding position that allows plenty of freedom of body position to master different riding situations especially race tracks and twisty roads. An important feature is the seat design which is narrow around the riders inner thighs and wider at the rear, allowing maximum freedom of movement. The back sweep and drop angle of the clip-on handlebars and the positioning of the rear seats have been carefully considered in order to realise a tucked-in riding position that enables the rider to achieve optimum control together with the greatest possible aerodynamic efficiency. The ability to tuck tightly into the machine is enhanced by the deeply indented tank cover, and these knee pockets also enable the rider to grip the bike during braking and cornering. The solo-style seat features a bump-stop design with a passenger pad on top of the tail, and the optional Yamaha Genuine Accessories seat cowl can be easily fitted to the R7 for riders who only go solo. Radial mount calipers & radial master cylinder: High performance with fingertip control The R7s genuine R-Series credentials can be seen in the high specification front braking system, featuring radial-mount 4-piston brake callipers that give accurate and uniform stopping power for the ultimate in fingertip control. This advanced front braking system also includes a Brembo radial master cylinder that delivers linear brake pressure for enhanced controllability. Ultra-athletic dimensions: The search for perfect control What makes the R7 such an attractive Supersport for a wide range of customers is the fact that it is designed to enable its rider to achieve a high level of control in many different situations. A key element that makes the R7 owner feel truly at one with their machine is its compact and athletic outline that allows the rider to be in charge of the machine, rather than the machine dominating the rider. With a wet weight of just 188kg and compact proportions, it means that the bike is highly accessible and riders can become an integral part of this new generation Supersport. Along with its mass centralised design, low frontal area and small moment of inertia, the compactness gives the R7 rider a feeling of total control that helps to elevate their riding and confidence to another level, while at the same time boosting the enjoyment of a track day experience, weekend ride or daily commute. Super-slim R-Series bodywork: Reduced air resistance for optimal performance The key to pushing any Supersport bike through the air most effectively is to keep its frontal area as small as possible, and this is where the R7 has a strong advantage. Its compact CP2 engine is one of the narrowest in the 700cc class, and the minimalist tubular chassis keeps overall dimensions to a minimum. These factors have enabled Yamaha to create the slimmest ever R-Series thats even narrower than the R3 and R125 making the R7 one of the most aerodynamically efficient bikes with a rider. The incredibly small frontal area not only makes the R7 one of the most stunning looking supersport models, but it also pays dividends in terms of performance. Producing the same maximum power as any other CP2-powered Yamaha, the aerodynamic new R7 is capable of achieving a significantly higher top speed of up to 15-20kp/h more. Evolving R-series face: Pure and aggressive as ever With its aggressive twin-eye glare and YZR-M1 MotoGP bike style M-shaped air intake, there can be no doubt in anyones mind that the R7 is a fully paid-up member of the R-Series family. The R7 represents the evolution of the R-Series face, and features a single LED headlight recessed within the iconic M-shaped air intake, while LED position lights are located within the twin-eye face and theres a new air deflector located at the base of the intake. Newly designed full LCD instruments The compact Supersport cockpit features newly designed lightweight LCD instruments with a high-contrast negative mode display that gives clear and easy to absorb information,allowing the R7 rider to focus on the road ahead. Features include a gear indicator as well as a shift indicator light, and a QSS indicator when this optional feature is used. Lightweight 10-spoke alloy wheels For easy manoeuvrability, together with agile handling and responsive suspension action, the R7 is equipped with lightweight 10-spoke cast alloy wheels. A high level of traction is provided by a 120/70ZR17 front tyre and a wide 190/55ZR17 rear tyre that deliver stable and confident road-holding when cornering, accelerating and braking. Technical Highlights Compact, high-torque, 689cc, CP2 crossplane technology engine Ultra-compact design with pure R-Series DNA Highly aerodynamic full fairing with aluminium lower cover High specification inverted 41mm front forks Link-type Monocross rear suspension with newly designed shock A&S clutch Lightweight tubular frame with an aluminium centre brace for tuned chassis rigidity Clip-on handlebars and lightweight rearsets with stylish heel guards Sporty and adaptable tucked-in riding position Aggressive R-Series twin-eye face with LED position lights Powerful central LED headlight Lightweight 10-spoke cast alloy wheels Radial mount front brake callipers with Brembo radial master cylinder 298mm front and 245mm rear discs Supersport cockpit design with full LCD instruments Central M-shaped front air duct Powerful Slimline 13-litre fuel tank with deeply sculpted knee indents R-series style tail 120/70 front tyre, 190/55 rear tyre. R7 colours The dynamic new R7 is available in two colour options and has been chosen to debut the next-generation R-series colours and graphics. The first colour option is Icon Blue which is used on the upper body surfaces as well as the lower aluminium panels and wheels while the sides of the fairing feature a contrasting darker matte blue. Engine, frame covers and swingarm are finished in Crystal Graphite that accentuates the power and dynamism of the R7. The R7 will also be available in a Yamaha Black colour option with minimal graphics and accents.

With a retail price of 4,450 - reserve now online The youngest Faster Son - Born for free spirits Designed for those riders who appreciate the seamless combination of true heritage design with timeless neo-retro looks and up-to-the-minute technology, Yamahas Sport Heritage models are truly in a class of their own. With a unique character and everlasting appeal, every XSR model is designed to deliver not just an outstanding riding experience, but to enable its owner to underline their individuality and express their personality. Yamahas Faster Sons philosophy is inspired by the past while looking firmly to the future, and it is an approach that strikes a chord with those free spirited riders who like to do things their own way. The whole Yard Built scene has been inspired and encouraged by the Faster Sons movement, and over the past 6 years the most respected custom builders from Europe and beyond have created many radical and thought provoking machines using a Yamaha Sport Heritage model as their starting point. New Yamaha XSR125: Timeless design for the modern commuter 11 May 2021 11/05/2021 New Yamaha XSR125: Timeless design for the modern commuter 2/6 With the current Sport Heritage range headed by the flagship 3-cylinder XSR900, closely supported by the 2-cylinder XSR700, the time is right to introduce a new model that will open up the Faster Sons way of life to a whole new audience. Designed and built to the same high quality standards as its older siblings, the XSR125 offers younger riders the opportunity to experience the unique riding experience and pride of ownership that comes with every XSR and with its premium build quality and proven Yamaha reliability, customers can be sure that this is a machine that will not let them down, and will retain a good used value. All-new XSR125: Commuting in style Commuting is about to become a lot more fun with the XSR125. Built to a high standard specification that includes Yamahas top-of-the-line engine as well as an agile handling frame and featuring state-of-the-art technology seamlessly intertwined with timeless heritage style this new lightweight is the youngest member of the Faster Sons family. And like many younger siblings, this bike is ready to make its mark and is ready to impress. With its strong retro-inspired colour schemes, exquisite detailing and first class Yamaha build quality, this is a bike that demands to be noticed wherever it is ridden. Unlike some other models in the class that prefer to keep a low profle, the XSR125 is the kind of bike that makes a strong statement and has the performance, technology and style to back it up. Light, agile and fun This new motorcycle has been designed to be light, agile and enjoyable for everyday riding making it the ideal choice for a wide range of B1 license car drivers* looking for an alternative to four wheels, as well as for existing riders with an A-license who appreciate the XSR125s outstanding value and impressive specification. Those riders who may be completely new to motorcycling will be reassured by the comfortable upright riding position as well as the smooth suspension and easy, lightweight handling and both new and existing riders are going to appreciate the fun-loving nature of Yamahas newest Sport Heritage bike. * Limitations and restrictions may apply per country under applicable local laws 11/05/2021 New Yamaha XSR125: Timeless design for the modern commuter 3/6 Pure and timeless XSR styling Just like every model in the Yamaha Sport Heritage line up, the XSR125 features a bold line up of colours that are influenced by some of Yamahas legendary models from a bygone era. Featuring a strong horizontal motif, the Redline, Tech Black and Impact Yellow colour schemes combined with features like the rounded tank, long flat seat and circular headlight give this new 125 a bold and unique look that underlines its Faster Sons DNA and just like the XSR900 and XSR700, the new XSR125 pays homage to the past, while looking ahead to the future by featuring the very latest technology including full LED lighting as well as an LCD meter. Best-in-class 125cc 11kW engine The XSR125 is driven by a responsive 125cc 4-valve liquid-cooled single-cylinder EU5 engine that is the same design as the unit used on the extremely successful MT-125 Hyper Naked and R125 Supersport models. This sophisticated and highly reliable powerplant produces a full 11kW, the maximum permissible in the A1 licence category, making it one of the strongest performers in the class. One of the significant technological features on the XSR125 is Yamahas Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) system that enables the engine to produce plenty of torque at lower engine speeds together with excellent performance at higher speeds. The result is a bike that is easy and enjoyable to use around town, and as well as being able to deliver an exciting ride on the highway and the whole riding experience is made even more enjoyable and rewarding by the beautifully-tuned exhaust note that brings out the strong character of the single-cylinder engine. Being fully EU5 compliant, the XSR125s low emissions enable it to be ridden in those city centres where increasingly strict air quality regulations may apply, making it an ideal commuter. 37mm USD front forks In order to achieve first class roadholding together with responsive handling and an easy and enjoyable riding character, the XSR125 is equipped with 37mm USD front forks. Featuring a black finish that complements the bikes timeless Sport Heritage character, these smooth-action forks play an important role in making this afordable commuter such a comfortable and nimble performer in different riding situations. This USD front end also underlines the XSR125s premium overall specification at the same time as being one of the most afordable models in the quality 125cc class. 11/05/2021 New Yamaha XSR125: Timeless design for the modern commuter 4/6 Stylish block pattern tyres Yamahas Sport Heritage bikes are inspired by the past and built for the future, and the XSR125s chunky block-pattern tyres emphasise the bikes timeless good looks while providing high levels of traction. The combination of a wide 140/70-17 rear tyre and 110/70-17 front tyre together with lightweight 10-spoke alloy wheels ensures low unsprung weight for responsive suspension action, giving a confident riding character with easy and predictable handling, making this an ideal choice for first-time motorcyclists. High-tech LED headlight and LED taillight Sophisticated LED lighting. The full LED headlight features a classic shaped circular shell that epitomizes the bikes unique blend of classic styling with up-to-the-minute technology, while the compact LED taillight underlines the bikes agile and lightweight appearance. Strong and light Deltabox frame The chassis features Yamahas advanced Deltabox frame design with twin spars that run in a straight line from the steering head to the swingarm pivot to create an extremely strong yet lightweight chassis. Featuring a compact 1330mm wheelbase and accessible 810mm seat height, the XSR125 chassis is designed to accommodate riders of varying sizes, while the upright riding position and relaxed ergonomics make this lightweight Sport Heritage bike ideally suited for riders with an A1 licence who are looking for a more enjoyable, e????ective and economical way to get into and around the city. Premium details Few other models in the category are able to offer this level of affordability combined with such an impressive spec, and premium details can be seen throughout the bike. In addition to the previously described USD forks, LED headlight and LED taillight and full power 125cc 11kW VVA engine, this lightweight Sport Heritage bike is equipped with a wide range of attractive features such as a tuck and roll seat, painted mudguards and aluminium brackets that highlight the attention to detail that makes this bike stand out. Circular LCD meter Every detail on the XSR125 is designed to be true to the Faster Sons philosophy that sees timeless design blended with modern technology. The circular LCD meter is a perfect example of this approach, and it features a satin black body featuring a circular LCD meter with a bright chrome surround. The negative LCD meter displays clear and easy to read information, while the neo-retro look perfectly complements the round headlamp, painted mudguards and heritage colours and graphics. 11/05/2021 New Yamaha XSR125: Timeless design for the modern commuter 5/6 Key Features Best-in-class 125cc 11kW EU5 Engine Timeless neo retro design 37mm USD front Forks Comfortable riding position Lightweight alloy wheels Stylish block-pattern tires Classic circular LED headlight and LED taillight Light and strong Deltabox frame Agile, easy and confident handling Painted mudguards Tuck and roll seat Aluminum brackets Retro-style circular LCD meter XSR125 colours, availability and price The XSR125 colour schemes feature a strong horizontal motif that reinforces the timeless design and gives this model a pure look with a universal appeal.

Tue, 11 May 2021 00:00:00 BST https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/dvsa-helps-new-riders-get-the-right-information The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has launched a new information portal that offers tailored advice to existing and new riders. Elements of the site are specifically tailored to motorcycles and scooters, and consideration is given to a variety of conditions, situations, manoeuvres and learnings, which are unique to two wheelers. The website endeavours to provide advice to riders whatever the stage of their journey. Novice riders can practice theory test questions using an advisory tool, which enables users to focus on areas they may not be confident with, or hazard perception clips to increase users awareness. The site also offers guidance to riders looking to expand their riding knowledge via advanced rider training and the enhanced rider scheme. Karen Cole, the Motorcycle Industry Associations Director of Road Safety and Rider Training said; The platform offers a selection of resources tailored to PTW users and novices, giving some excellent advice, direction and tools to make the journey on to two wheels as comprehensive, yet simple as possible. The inclusion of post-test training also shows the DVSA shares the MCIAs view that once a test is passed it should not signify the end of learning or training.

An updated, Euro 5 compliant 152PS inline four-cylinder engine with a fatter and flatter torque curve, providing a broader spread of power in the low and midrange. New electronics, including a quick-shifter and auto-blipper, selectable engine maps and 5 levels of traction control. A larger 19L fuel tank and new, wider set handlebars for even better control. Pricing Pricing and availability The new GSX-S1000 will be available for Suzuki Dealers from the end of June, with an RRP of 10,999. Customers can register their interest HERE Immediately obvious is the new GSX-S1000s redesigned aesthetic; the bodywork and lighting is completely new, with a focus on sharp, angular, aggressive lines and a powerful stance, with a mass forward demeanour. Available in Suzukis trademark metallic triton blue, a new mechanical matt grey, and a stealthy gloss black, its streetfighter looks are enhanced with textured radiator shrouds, MotoGP-insipired winglets, and side panels that feature an urban camo-inspired design. Arguably the most striking visual change is the new, vertically stacked LED headlight. As well as the practical benefits of a new mono-focus LED light source that displays a wide, bright light, the new design of two stacked hexagonal units topped by LED position lights creates a look that is lighter and tighter and aids the desire for a more aggressive pose. Theres a new LED taillight, too, with both flanked by LED indicators. The inline four-cylinder in the 2021 GSX-S1000 produces more power and a broader spread of torque in the lower rev ranges to deliver ideal naked sports bike performance. Changes include a new intake and exhaust camshaft, valve springs, clutch, and exhaust. Compared to its predecessor, the new GSX-S1000 makes more cumulative torque across the rev range, filling in the dips in the graph with a flatter curve. It revs on to provide increased top end power, too, with peak power 152PS at 11,000rpm. Thankfully, a new exhaust retains the soundtrack the outgoing model was known for, while aiding in the increase in power and the meeting of Euro 5 emissions requirements with an additional catalytic converter. New electronic throttle bodies help achieve a more controllable engine response during the initial throttle opening. A new airbox manages to do without an internal separator, reducing intake resistance. Reduced valve overlap also helps the new GSX-S1000 meet Euro 5 emissions standards, thanks to new a camshaft and revised cam profiles. The changes also aid engine controllability for the rider. Added controllability and increased performance also comes thanks to Suzukis Clutch Assist System. The slipper clutch partially disengages to reduce negative engine torque and mitigate the effect of engine braking when downshifting from high rpm. This helps prevent the rear wheel from locking up or hopping and provides smoother deceleration, enabling the rider to shift down with greater confidence and maintain better control when downshifting into corners. Adding an assist function increases the clutchs clamping force under acceleration and thereby allows the use of softer springs while still efficiently transferring torque to the rear wheel, resulting in a lighter lever operation. An advancement over the previous GSX-S1000 comes with an updated suite of electronics, courtesy of Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS). A new ride-by-wire throttle makes it possible for riders to more accurately and finely control the relationship between throttle actuation and engine response, especially when allied to the new Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) system, with which the new GSX-S1000 is equipped. SDMS allows riders to choose from one of three engine maps, depending on the riding conditions or their own personal preferences. Modes A-C all deliver the same peak power, but vary the sharpness and immediacy of the delivery, with A mode the sportiest, and C mode delivering the softest power delivery. Performance is enhanced thanks to a bi-directional quickshifter, which reduces the need to operate the clutch during gear changes or close the throttle on upshifts, or blip it on downshifts. A new traction control system comprises five modes, while it can also be switched off. Inputs from front and rear wheel speed sensors, and crank, gear, and throttle position sensors feed into the ECU which in turn controls the throttle valve opening, ignition timing, and fuel injection rate, to reduce or prevent wheel spin. All the information is displayed on an updated and easy-to-read LCD dash. Topping off the electronics package is Suzukis always-handy easy start system which requires only one prod of the starter button to fire the engine and low RPM assist, which raises engine speed as the clutch lever is fed out, to aid slow speed control and prevent stalling. The twin-spar aluminium chassis is mated to a rigid, GSX-R-derived swingarm for agile, sporty performance and handling. However, new, 23mm wider, tapered bars help riders pitch the bike into turns with greater leverage. They are also set 20mm closer to the rider to improve comfort without compromising handling. Suspension comes in the form of fully-adjustable KYB front forks and a preload and rebound damping adjustable rear shock, with revised settings from the previous iteration. 310mm front discs are paired with Brembo monobloc calipers. A larger, 19 litre fuel tank and 46.31mpg equates to a tank range of 194 miles (based on WMTC figures). Those miles can be undertaken in greater comfort thanks to a new seat. Tyres are custom-engineered Roadsport 2 from Dunlop.

Already a no-nonsense, impossible to ignore base machine, the SE version adds some key features to justify its claim to be King of the Supernakeds. The trellis chassis remains and so too the unique balanced supercharged engine that has won so many plaudits already. And although appearing to be naked and stripped to bare essentials, the Z H2 SE also boasts an awesome array of electronic rider aids including, electronic cruise control, integrated riding modes (linking KTRCS sport traction control), power modes, traction & launch control, selectable power modes an up/down quick shifter plus Cornering Management Function, launch control and Intelligent anti-lock Brake System which counts on Brembo Stylema calipers for incredible stopping power. And while the huge torque of the 998cc inline four brings the horizon rushing into focus, the journey there will now be even smoother as the new edition of electronically damped 43 mm Showa SFF-CA (cartridge) fork and a high-spec BFRC lite rear shock can now count on Showas Skyhook technology. With a 1 millisecond reaction time, Skyhook adjusts the damping electronically to suit vehicle speed and suspension stroke speed with the intention of keeping the body of the vehicle in a constant attitude while the wheels and suspension follow the dips and deviations in the road surface. Deceleration is also considered, allowing the pitching that occurs under braking to be managed. Ensuring that Kawasakis Sugomi styled predator does not have to move among the shadows at night, an all LED lighting package illuminates the Z H2 SE while the rider can focus on the clarity of a TFT meter panel which is also Bluetooth equipped allowing connection with a Smartphone for a variety of functions courtesy of Kawasakis free to download Rideology app. With so many stand out features and such characteristic Kawasaki state-of-the-art engineering its no wonder the Z H2 SE is adorned with the exclusive River Mark. Its a lot to take in and certainly a genuine assault on the senses so its comforting to know only one word needs to be recalled to create an image of the 2021 Z H2 SE Supercharge!

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/suzuki-releases-new-colours-for-gsx-s750 Suzuki has released two new colour options for its popular GSX-S750 naked, which includes a new blue and black edition with fluro accents as well as a grey and black version with striking blue wheels.

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://www.5-ways.co.uk/suzuki/news/gsx-r125-wins-2020-freetech-endurance-championship Suzuki's GSX-R125 has won the 2020 Freetech Endurance Championship, with victory in the final round of the season; a six-hour race at Mallory Park. Piloted by former British Superbike and Superstock racer Alastair Fagan, former Superstock 1000 rider Bruce Wilson, and current Superstock 1000 racer Tim Neave - who won at Silverstone aboard a Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000 earlier this year - Team Suzuki clinched both the series' Streetstock and overall championships in a thrilling finale. After six hours of racing just 38 seconds was the margin of victory. Team Suzuki went into the weekend 19 points adrift of title rivals - a Honda CBR125-mounted outfit headed up by former British championship racer Hudson Kennaugh - and drafted in Neave for the longer six-hour race, knowing only a win would do. Competing against British and world championship level riders including Tom Booth-Amos, Chrissy Rouse, Stefan Hill, and Storm Stacey, Team Suzuki led the early stages, before yo-yoing between first and fourth place as pit stops came into play, but always ahead of fellow championship challengers. Holding second overall (though first in class) with an hour and a half to go the championship was all but assured, as a mechanical issue forced Kennaugh's retirement. Still racing on, however, Team Suzuki overhauled race leaders FAB-Racing, to take the outright victory. The result gave the GSX-R125 both the Streetstock championship win, as well as the overall championship title. The win comes after Fagan and Wilson finished seventh overall (and fifth in the Streetstock class) at the season-opening four-hour at Teesside Autodrome aboard a completely standard machine, including headlights, indicators, numberplate, and exhaust. The team returned for the second round of the series at the same venue equipped with a racier steed. Road bits removed, the bike was fitted with race bodywork, a full Yoshimura exhaust, and a larger rear sprocket, before being raced by Fagan and road racer Mike Booth to second place. Suzuki GB's head of motorcycle marketing, Ian Bland, said, "Fresh off the back of SERT winning this year's Endurance World Championship with the GSX-R1000, the GSX-R125 proves it is cut from similar cloth by winning the Freetech 125 Endurance title. There were some very talented riders in the field at Mallory Park, including British and world championship racers such as Storm Stacey, Tom Booth-Amos, and Stefan Hill, plus a plethora of British Talent Cup riders, but the little GSX-R proved its combination of performance and reliability was an unbeatable package. Thank you to Alastair, Bruce, Mike, and Tim for making this championship possible, and also to the series organisers and the other teams and riders for being excellent competition and making us feel welcome in the paddock."

Available in dealerships now, the GSX-Rs variable valve timing-equipped engine produces 202PS and features a comprehensive electronics package including a 10-mode, lean angle-sensitive traction control system, a quickshifter and auto-blipper, and launch control.

The Skyhook concept imagines a hook supporting the motorcycles sprung weight and modulates the suspensions damping force to allow the wheels to track the dips and bumps encountered while maintaining the motorcycles vertical position with minimal disturbance. Showas Skyhook software, which has been carefully fine-tuned by Kawasaki engineers, ensures the Versys 1000s sporty riding character has been preserved, delivering a smoother ride as it continually adapts to the road surface in real time. Road holding ability is excellent, pitching (especially when riding with passenger) is reduced while steering remains light when riding on the highway and the bike feels more stable when riding in the rain.
