New Motorcycle - BMW G650GS 2011

The new 2011 BMW G650GS will feature a much more aggressive look thanks to reworked body panels, a new gas tank (still housed underneath the seat), an asymetric headlight, two-tone seat and alloy wheels. Rumor has it that BMW will make spoke wheels an option for riders planning to ride their G650 over rough and rugged terrain, but that has not been confirmed. As on the 2010 G650GS, BMW is expected to equip all 2011′s with ABS (anti-lock brakes) and heated grips. Given the image of the instruments cluster on the new G650, it appears that BMW has made allowances that would make it possible for the G650GS to be equipped with the on-board computer option found on most of their other bikes. We’ll have to wait for pricing information to confirm the status of all these options, but BMW is being very price conscious with this model and don’t plan on pricing themselves out of the market by adding too many options.








Stylist Motorcycle - Can-Am Spyder, Three wheeled motorcycle with a single rear drive wheel and two wheels in front for steering

The Can-Am Spyder ("Spyder") is a Three wheeled motorcycle with a single rear drive wheel and two wheels in front for steering, similar in layout to a modern snowmobile. The Spyder uses an ATV-like chassis. The manufacturer refers to it as a "roadster," but in technical terms it is more of what has been traditionally called a trike.

BRP Can-Am Spyder is manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc. (BRP), a privately held powersports manufacturer headquartered in Valcourt, Quebec Canada. BRP's portfolio of brands and products includes: Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft and sport boats, Evinrude outboard motors, Can-Am all-terrain vehicles and roadsters, and Rotax engines and karts.









Top Motorcycle - Suzuki GSX-R750, sport bike motorcycle from Suzuki's GSX-R series of motorcycles

The GSX-R750 is a 750 class sport bike motorcycle from Suzuki's GSX-R series of motorcycles. It was introduced in 1985 and can be considered to be the first of the modern racer-replicas with many race-derived technologies and the looks of a Suzuki Endurance racer at an affordable price.

The oil-cooled models can be further divided into the first generation and second generation oil-cooled models. They are informally referred to as slabbies (slang) and slingshots respectively. The 85-87 models featured body work which is very flat compared to modern sport-bikes, hence slab-side. The '88-91 (92 USA) models are sometimes referred to as slingshots because the carburetors introduced in 1988 were marketed as slingshot carburetors (slingshot describes the cross section of the semi-flat slide carbs).

The Toyota WISH is a Compact MPV produced by Japanese automaker Toyota since 2003. It is available as a six and seven-seater, equipped with either a 1.8 or 2.0-litre gasoline engine. It is positioned below the Sienna and above the Verso in Toyota's minivan range.

Apart from Japan, the Wish is also assembled in Thailand (for Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore only) and Taiwan (for Taiwan only).

The Wish was developed under code name "760N" by the team, led by Chief engineer named Takeshi Yoshida and was introduced to the public for the first time at Tokyo Motor Show in October 2002 (Commercial vehicles & welcab show) and then launched in Japan in January,20th 2003, under a massive publicity campaign with Japanese singer Hikaru Utada. The TV commercial features her song Colors, which coincides with the launch of her new CD-single. The car was marketed under the "Wish Comes True" slogan.

Codenamed ZNE10G (FWD) and ZNE14G (4WD), it uses a 1.8 L 1ZZ-FE engine, producing (JIS) 132 PS and 170 N·m (125 lb·ft). It is only available with four-speed automatic. A 2.0 L version (codenamed ANE11W for the six-seater version and ANE10G for the seven-seater version) was launched in April 2003. Equipped with the 1AZ-FSE direct-injection engine, it has (JIS) 155 PS (114 kW) and 192 N·m (142 ft·lbf). Variants with the 2.0 D-4 engine are only available with a CVT gearbox.

The WISH was extremely successful in its home market, and is frequently seen on the Top 5 on the 30 bestseller list each months. It has also made shockwave to its competitors, such as the Honda Stream & Mazda Premacy or Mazda 5 to changing its market positioning.
