ApriliaALL NEW FLY BY WIRE APRILIA SHIVER 750 LANDS AT DEALERS TODAY 
It is certainly no easy matter to take the lead in a class as fiercely competitive as the middleweight naked class. A
class where the battle is not just about technology and performance,
but also design, component rationality and riding ease and pleasure, elements which are not always compatible and are particularly demanding for designers and engineers.
Aprilia accepted this challenge and addressed it by applying its own successful philosophy to a completely new design, destined to set new standards for years to come. A bike both strongly aggressive and at the same time clean-cut and elegant, in perfect Aprilia style. A
bike at the top of its class for its sporty personality, designed on
the basis of the know-how of a company which has to date won 250 world
championship victories.
Key features of the new Shiver include:
· Racing brakes with radial mounted caliper at front
· 90° V2 engine with four valves per cylinder, double overhead camshaft and liquid cooling
· Ride-by-Wire technology for electronic control of the throttle bodies
· Electronic fuel injection with latest generation injectors
· Mixed gear and chain valve timing
· Three way catalytic converter on the exhaust, with Lambda oxygen sensor
· Modular trellis/aluminium frame for high torsional rigidity
· Aluminium swingarm with reinforcement truss and lateral shock absorber
· 43 mm upside down fork

BMW SectionAnnouncing the 2008 GS LineThe 2008 BMW Motorrad GS line includes three new models with the new from the dirt up F 800 GS and the upgraded R 1200 GS and GS Adventure. All models will be at the IMS shows this winter, beginning with the San Mateo show, and in dealerships this fall, but you can read about now. 2008 F 800 GS 
In 1980, BMW Motorrad invented the adventure motorcycle category with the advent of the trailblazing R 80 GS, which won the grueling Paris-Dakar year after year. And now, over twenty-five years later, BMW Motorrad has created yet another revolutionary dual-purpose motorcycle that provides unprecedented levels of desert-devouring, roost-throwing performance: the amazing 2008 F 800 GS. Fulfilling a need for a pure off-road oriented motorcycle that still has all the power, handling and reliability required for long-distance adventure touring as well as on-street handling, the F 800 GS is perfectly positioned as a middleweight dual-purpose enduro. Featuring an asymmetrical double headlight, its look is sleek, trim and 100% aggressive. With a compact 85-horsepower parallel twin engine, lightweight steel trellis frame and double-sided swingarm, not to mention a chain drive and longer front and rear suspension travel, there has never been a BMW dual-purpose machine offering such a unique blend of power, comfort and off-road muscle. Torque is generous at 61 lb/ft, and with a six-speed gear box, switchable ABS, 42-degree turning radius, 400-watt alternator, wide foot rests and 4.2-gallon gas tank located under the seat for a low center of gravity, the F 800 GS has all the technology of a touring bike, while still possessing the optimum power-to-weight characteristics of a high-performance enduro. With a dry weight of just 392 lbs, the F 800 GS is lightweight and agile enough for precise handling, making it ideal for screaming around on the twisties or tearing through the dirt. 
In
the never-ending quest to exceed our own exacting standards, BMW
Motorrad has once again reached an entire new level of engineering
excellence with the F 800 GS, an adventure-hungry motorcycle that is
destined to be a classic. Order yours now at Touring Sport! |

Make plans now to see the ALL NEW Ducati 848 at Touring Sport!
LIGHTWEIGHT MOVES - HEAVYWEIGHT PUNCH
The
new 848 enjoys all the performance advancements of the entire Superbike
family, while adding its own innovations to redefine the middleweight
sport bike class.The words 'agile' and 'refined' aptly describe the 848. At 168 kg (369 lbs) the 848 is an amazing 20 kg (44 lbs) lighter than its predecessor, and a significant 5 kg (11 lbs) lighter than its larger capacity brother, the 1098. The highly advanced 848 engine uses an improved method of engine case production in which cases are vacuum die-cast formed. While providing significant weight savings of more than 3 kg (6.5 lbs), this method also ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength. Further refinements include a sophisticated wet clutch that offers 1 kg (2.2 lbs) less weight, a much higher service life, improved clutch feel and quiet operation. With the first twist of the wrist, the powerful rush of the Testastretta Evoluzione engine confirms that the rules have changed. The 848's 134 hp is not only 30% more powerful than its predecessor, but it provides a power-to-weight ratio even better than the potent 999. The 848 - a new class of Superbikes.
