KTM Motorcycle

Image
KTM Sportmotorcycle AG is an Austrian motorcycle, bicycle and moped manufacturer. The company was founded in 1934 by engineer Hans Trunkenpolz in Mattighofen. It started out as a metalworking shop and was named Kraftfahrzeuge Trunkenpolz Mattighofen. In 1954 KTM began producing motorcycles. KTM is most commonly known for its off road motorcycles though in recent years it has expanded into street motorcycle production. History The company was founded in 1934 by engineer Hans Trunkenpolz in Mattighofen. It started out as a metalworking shop and was named Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen. It wasn't until 1953 that KTM began production of motorcycles. With just 20 employees, motorcycles were built at the rate of three per day. In 1955, a businessman Ernst Kronreif became shareholder of the company, on acquiring a sizable portion of the company. It was then renamed Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen. Hans Trunkenpolz died in 1962 of a heart attack with his son Erich taking

Bobber Motorcycle Classic

Image
A bobber is a motorcycle that usually has had the front fender removed, the rear fender "bobbed" or made smaller and all superfluous items removed to make it lighter. "History" The bobber was the earliest custom motorcycle built by individuals with mechanical skills and often part of the early biker clubs scene before there were any such thing as a choppers, a simple stripped down motorcycle . It is a style of custom motorcycle which took shape in the 1940s and 50s, generally thought to have been started by returning WW II servicemen working on ex-military motorcycles and inspired by lighter European motorcycles they had seen and ridden. The bikes reflected their owners and were often homemade but today there are many companies that create such vehicles The style has also influenced motorcycle manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson. The style continues to be favored by some to this day. Latterly, hybrid styles have emerged such as as a "bobber chopper"

Honda CHF50

Image
The CHF50 is a scooter manufactured by Honda. It is known as the Metropolitan in the United States, the Jazz in Canada, the Scoopy in Australia and the Crea Scoopy in Japan. The 2002-05 models can reach a speed of 38-40 mph (61-65 km/h) at 8,000 rpm whereas 2006 and later models can reach 43 mph (69 km/h) at 8,850rpm. Power is rated between 4 and 4.9 hp. The Metropolitan has typical gas mileage of 80–110 mpg (US) (2.1–2.9 L/100 km). Design Concept While the CHF50 is one of several 49 cc scooters offered by Honda since the early 1960s, it is notable for its "classic" Vespa-inspired styling and modern mechanical parts. In the United States, it debuted as the Metropolitan in model year 2002. The CHF50 has a large lockable center compartment, located below the seat, which can hold a helmet with room to spare. Inside the compartment is a handle to lock the center stand. This makes it more difficult to roll away. It also features locking handle bars which can lock the wheel

Motorcycle Honda CB77

Image
Honda CB77 The Honda Superhawk CB77 is a 305 cc twin-cylinder motorcycle and was produced from 1961 until 1967 (although there are some 1968-registered models). Honda also produced a 247 cc version called the CB72 Dream Sport, while in various advertisements referred to the 305 cc CB77 as a Dream Super Sport. The CB77 is commonly known as the Honda Superhawk (not to be confused with the much later Honda VTR1000F Superhawk), or Honda305. Attributes ~ The motorcycle was known for its robust and precise motor and the overall high quality of fabrication and assembly. The motor was a stressed member of the frame, strengthening the frame and improving the handling over designs with a "dropped-in" motor and cradle frame. All CB models had a forward-arcing kick starter, necessary in order to miss the right-hand footpeg, and re-locatable footpegs that could be sited well rearward (at the expense of forfeiting the pillion) thus enhancing the sporting ride position, especially when

"Nimbus MotorCycle 1919"

Image
"The Nimbus was a Danish motorcycle produced from 1919 to 1960 by Fisker and Nielsen of Copenhagen, Denmark, also manufacturers of "Nilfisk" brand vacuum cleaners (now Nilfisk-Advance). Two basic models were produced, both with a 750 cc four cylinder engine." History "In partnership with H.M. Nielsen, Peder Andersen Fisker produced electric motors and, from around 1910, the first vacuum cleaners in Europe. Fisker believed he could develop a motorcycle that had its own form, and in late 1918 decided to construct a prototype to his own design." "Stovepipe" It had an four-cylinder inline engine of 746 cc (45.5 cu in) capacity, which drove the rear wheel through a shaft drive rather than the chain usually used at that time, and a power output of approximately 10 hp. Its top speed was around 85 km/h (53 mph) with a sidecar fitted. It had both front and rear wheel suspension, and soon acquired the nickname of Kakkelovnsrør ("Stovepipe"

Aprilia SR50 | Motorcycle | Motorbike

Image
The Aprilia SR50 is a family of sport scooters built by Italian motorbike company, Aprilia. Introduced in 1992 and considered to be the first "sports" scooter, the design and technology of the SR50 has evolved considerably over the years, although it has consistently used a 2-stroke 50cc displacement engine. Design With sports oriented suspension and tyres, and a more powerful engine than most 50cc designs, it is faster than many and more agile than most other scooters, consistent with its "sports" marketing. Sales of the SR50 have reached over 800,000 units, providing a stark exception to the trend in motorcycles since the 1990s for two-stroke engines to fade away. Through constant technology upgrades, the bike conforms to EURO 3 emission standards despite being a two-stroke. Certain colours (as well as 'limited edition' graphics packages, etc.) were only available in certain countries at certain times. In other words, not every colour has always been

Acabion GTBO 35

Image
The Acabion GTBO 35 is a concept car with two seats and a drop-shaped body. The passenger is placed behind the driver. Power is provided by a 1300cc turbocharged 4 cylinder gasoline engine capable of putting out 500 and 750 horsepower also with everything in between those figures, and is mounted behind the passenger compartment. Under normal conditions the Acabion concept drives on its two main wheels like a motorcycle, but at low speeds or if balance is lost at high speeds the two side wheels are designed to lower themselves automatically to aid stability. Awards The Acabion electric-drive concept was awarded with the German future-award 2008 as the best prototype of the year.(Zukunftsaward, Frankfurt Main, www.zukunftsinstitut.de). Performance The designers claim that the 2009 GTBO concept car weighs 340 kg (750 lb) and has a 750 hp gasoline engine, resulting in a power to weight ratio of 2,200 horsepower (1,600 kW) per ton.
