| Suzuki’s New 650 ‘Stroms’ IN |
Suzuki Motorcycles has revealed the all-new 2012 model of its bestselling, go-anywhere adventure tourer, the V-Strom 650 ABS. The all new V-Strom 650 ABS has been re-developed with an enhanced focus on rider comfort and features the latest in advanced technology from Suzuki. The highly advanced fuel-injected 645cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 90-degree, V-Twin engine has been thoroughly refined with new cam profiles and pistons and a newly designed crankshaft for greater low-to-mid-rpm range torque and sporty quick-revving high rpm power surges for full-range riding enjoyment. The V-Strom 650 ABS’s easy-to-read multi-function instrument cluster combines an analogue tachometer with a large brightness adjustable LCD, with readouts including gear position, ambient temperature and average fuel consumption, in addition to speed, odometer, dual trip meter and more. The bike will be available towards the end of the year. Pricing has not been announced yet. |

| Brembo Airbag Life Jacket |
|
| |
|
 Italian brake maker, Brembo has recently started a new branch of activity focused on passive safety systems intended to protect motorcyclists incase of a crash. They have created a line of riding jackets featuring an airbag system designed to protect the rider from major injuries involving the upper body, neck, chest, back, shoulders, arms and head. They are called Brembo Life Jackets and are mainly for urban use. Once the rider takes a seat on the bike, he or she must then strap the jacket to the bike. The jacket uses a built-in acceleration sensor which can detect when the biker has departed from the bike in a jerk, hence causing the airbags to be triggered within 80 milliseconds and stays inflated for 60 seconds. The jackets are available for both men and women in different styles. |
