Voxan To Attempt Another Electric Speed World Record With Max Biaggi

Everything is about breaking the world record when it comes to Voxan.

During last year Halloween weekend, the Voxan team set a total of eleven new records at the Châteauroux Airfield in France, thanks to Max Biaggi.

Breaking 11 world records already an impressive accomplishment for Voxan, considering the world was caught up in the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, there is a new competitor in town, namely the White Motorcycle Concepts, who plans to set a new electric speed record with their WMC250EV in 2022.

As a result, team Voxan has decided not to back down from the challenge and is currently busy optimizing its Voxan Wattman streamliner with Max Biaggi set to return the second time.

“Trying to set new speed records barely one year after obtaining the very first ones is exhilarating! I am fortunate to count on an inspired and inspiring team who made the Voxan Wattman the fastest electric motorcycle in the world.

“11 records (validated by the International Motorcycling Federation), that’s good but… not enough! I still want to help advance electric mobility,” said Gildo Pastor, Venturi-Voxan President.

Kawasaki Introduce 2022 Vulcan S Café – Same Engine, Different Aesthetics

Kawasaki has updated the 2022 lineup by expanding the Vulcan S range with a new variant.

The Vulcan S Cafe offers a different attitude than the standard Vulcan S, thanks to a bubble-shaped cowl that sits over the front headlight and a combination of an orange, black and white paint job.

It also comes with a bold Vulcan S badge on the side of the tank.

Nonetheless, the Vulcan S Cafe runs with the same liquid-cooled 649cc parallel-twin engine that produces 53.5hp @ 7,150rpm and 58Nm @ 5,650rpm.

However, if you are still in love with the standard Vulcan S, it also comes with a slightly different colourway called pearl Robotic White.

The 2022 Vulcan S and Vulcan S Cafe are available at USD7,299 (RM30k) and USD7,899 (RM33k).

Meet BMW Motorrad New Electric Revolution, The CE 04 – 42HP, 130KM Range

BMW Motorrad opens its new chapter in electric mobility by launching the all-new CE 04.

The CE 04 is proof that BMW continues its pursuit of electromobility strategy for urban conurbations.

The CE 04 is powered by an electric motor capable of producing 31kW (42hp) and able to reach 0-50km/h in just 2.6 seconds.

Despite build as an urban commuter, BMW claimed the CE 04 has a maximum speed of 120 km/h while able to cover up to 130km thanks to a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 60.6 Ah (8.9 kWh).

According to BMW, the CE 04 is mounted with a permanent magnet electric motor located in the frame between the battery and the rear wheel.

As an added convenience, owners can charge the battery via a regular household socket, a wall box or at every public charging station.

BMW claimed that the charging time is around 4 hours and 20 minutes if the battery is completely flat, but owners can opt for a quick charger that cuts down the charging time to just 1 hour and 40 minutes.

However, if the battery level is at 20 per cent, the charging time to 80 per cent will take just 45 minutes.

Interestingly, like every petrol-powered BMW motorcycle, the CE 04 also offers Automatic Stability Control (ASC) as standard and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) as an optional package.

The CE 04 also features three riding modes consisting of ECO, Rain and Road, while the (optional) Dynamic mode allows better acceleration.

Other exciting features include:

  • full LED light setup
  • tubular steel frame
  • telescopic front fork with 35mm slider tube
  • single-sided swingarm with a spring strut
  • 120/70-R15 front tyre
  • 160/60-R15 rear tyre
  • ABS (ABS Pro *optional)

The CE 04 features a 10.25″ TFT screen with integrated map navigation and connectivity to complete the look of a modern futuristic scooter.

BMW CE 04 is available in two colour schemes, Light Wight and Magellan Grey.

Zard Reveal New Full System Exhaust For Triumph Trident 660

If you managed to get your hands on the all-new Triumph Trident 660 and plan to kick-start a modification project, you might want to check out Zard’s latest product.

The Italian exhaust manufacturer has released a new full-system kit explicitly developed for the new Trident 660.

It is a 3-to-1 stainless steel exhaust system with a removable dB killer that meets Euro 5 emission standards.

Interestingly, the installation does not require any ECU modification, which we think is remarkable considering it allows owners to install these new exhausts worry-free.

According to Zard, while the stock exhaust makes 80hp @ 10,250rpm, the Trident 660 makes 82.7hp @ 9,730rpm with the full-system kit.

Moreover, Zard’s full system exhaust only weighed 3.6kg compared to the 8.1kg on the stock unit. In our book, that is a massive weight drop that helps boost the power-to-weight ratio.

The exhaust kit with Euro 5 homologation is available for a price of EUR1,105 (RM5.4k).

Suzuki GSX-S750 Gets New Colour Scheme For 2021

Suzuki has been making waves this past few months after launching several 2022 models.

The Hamamatsu-based company recently unveiled the GSX-S1000, GSX-S950 including a new generation Hayabusa.

Suzuki has updated the GSX-S750 with a new white and fluoro yellow colour scheme in the UK to ensure the current model stays relevant.

However, underneath the skin, the GSX-S750 maintains the same 749cc inline-four engine that makes 113hp @ 10,500rpm and 81Nm @ 9,000rpm.

Suzuki is likely to introduce an updated version of the GSX-S750 in the coming months, given the comprehensive updates done on the GSX-S1000 and Hayabusa.

Meanwhile, Suzuki rumoured to introduce an all-new GSX-R1000 and GSX-S1000T later this year.

Bad Winners Introduce A DIY Custom Kit For Royal Enfield 650s

If you are looking for a new hobby at home and coincidentally owned a Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor of the Continental GT, you might want to check out Bad Winners DIY custom kit.

The project actually started back in 2019 when Royal Enfield commissioned Bad Winners to build a one-off custom motorcycle.

The result was well-received by RE; hence, Bad Winners decided to continue with the project and create a kit that owners could easily install at home.

The DIY kit consists of:

  • custom-style leather seat
  • custom mudguard
  • custom plate holder
  • custom rear light
  • shorter 5cm subframe
  • custom handlebars with simplified controls
  • Motogadget speedometer
  • Oberon mirrors
  • Koso headlight

However, owners who want that extra power boost can also opt for new pipes and air filters by S&S Cycles, including a Power Commander pre-made mapping.

Bad Winners also offers a YSS fork kit and three different options for the rear twin shocks.

Four DIY kits are available for the Royal Enfield 650s with the price starts from GBP430 (RM2.4k) to GBP2,900 (RM16k) which you can access HERE.

Triumph's Tiger 900 series does not need any introduction and can be considered one of the best in the market. But with the Aragon edition, it became into a package that can be described as perfect. In this video, we take it for a spin with some friends and see what it is like. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTiger #TriumphTiger900

We like motorcycle boots that don't look like motorcycle boots. That just adds versatility to them and allows you to use them for purposes other than just riding. That's the first thing we like about the Eleveit Nirvana WP boots, but there are things we don't quite like either. Watch the video to find out! #Eleveit #EleveitBoots #MotorcycleReview

Oh the blasphemy! We called the Trident 660 a beginner's superbike, but we standby it wholeheartedly. The Trident is fast and a lot of fun, but it is also very accessible for anyone with just a little bit of experience. And there's not much to worry about either, it is not overly complicated and neither is it very big and heavy. Are u a newbie looking to trade up to a bigger bike? The Triumph Trident 660 may just be worth a look. #TriumphMotorcycles #TriumphTrident #TriumphTrident660
