The stylish yet innovative FZ16 has macho and muscular looks redefining the 150cc bikes segment. It keeps it simple, with street-tough naked styling and super-civilized power delivery and a specially designed riding position that gives riders extra confidence at lower speeds.
The Yamaha FZ-16 is an urban-cool motorcycle built for great performance and easy-living functionality, because that’s the whole idea of a bike like this. It has got heart-pumping knockout performance and it’s got serious attitude on top of that, a lean and mean look that’s all about raw power.
Audi is really intruding into its owner Porsche’s territory now. Audi Sport is now offering a race-prepared Audi R8 that complies with GT3 race regulations. Because GT3 prohibits all-wheel drive, the Audi R8 GT3 drives the rear wheels only through a newly developed 6-speed sequential gearbox.
The suspension bits are almost a carryover from the available production line parts. The front end is modified for more downforce and on the rear you will find a huge rear wing.
The Apache RTR 160 has been upgraded with visual changes like the Apache Fi and becomes Apache RTR 160 Refresh. It features a naked chain cover, rear disk brake, tank cowl like in the Bajaj Pulsar 200 and a serrated design stickers (instead of the striped ones found on the RTR 160) which runs across the length of the bike.
It is powered by a 159.7cc engine which develops maximum power of 15.2bhp at 8500 rpm and a peak torque of 13.1Nm at 6000 rpm. The new engine is not just an overbore of the Apache’s 150cc engine. The engine’s stroke was cut down to 52.9 mm and then the bore grew to 62 mm.
The single frame grille of the newest Ingolstadt model range is definitely a striking design object. ABT Sportsline has directed its whole attention to this specific design element and has advanced a front grille for the models AS4, AS5, AS7 and AS3 Facelift so that it equals the philosophy of the world’s leading tuner of cars of the Volkswagen group: The optics must support the self-confident and dynamical appearance of the car - and this is exactly what ABT achieves with the new front.
Noticeable are the five massive longitudinal ribs which give the face of the AS4, AS5, AS7 and AS3 Facelift even more presence and accentuate the character of the sports cars from Kempten. The outermost struts continue the line of the ABT front skirt and fit perfectly into the sportive design concept. The new grille “made in Kempten” consists of high-quality ABS plastic and can be ordered at ABT Sportsline and its partners for about 380 euros (including tax).
