pleasure and comfort using the latest release Adiva scooter with a roof on it
nice driving adiva scooter
Adiva is considered important for one very obvious reason is the latest scooter output by using a roof that can protect the rider from dust and sun, so it can make the rider feel enjoi in riding this scooter. While a large glass complete with wipernya irrevocable and stored in the compartment top box, it is one of the advantages of this Adiva compared with other scoter.
benelli adiva scooter for sale
Adiva just released a 250cc convertible scooter, scooters roofed. This could be the answer for those interested or hunter who always ask "what happens when it rains?", Adiva will answer it "You will not get wet". The folding roof stows in the top box compartment, probably taking a fair bit of luggage space with it, but then you can delete it entirely on a good day. The original patent design also shows some kind of bodywork extending rails on the side of the bike to help deal with falls and side impacts, but it seems this paradise, you do not need to fear and kwatir when it rains because you are using this Adiva then you will feel comfortable in the riding, because you will be protected by a complete scooter with roof.

Adiva scooter from new innovations that secrete something new and different from other scooters that can protect you from things that smell of dust, rain, heat and others - others. Adiva emergence of this warm welcome by the community because in addition to existing roof can also bring Adiva pillion that fits inside! Using the same air conditioning, four-stroke Piaggio engine as the Vespa ET4 is very popular. Turn and go automatic scooter licenses in 2 hours x 4 lessons (NSW). Really like the new Rego, first. Different, and really practical for motorists

The New Kawasaki er250 coming soon
In early February, PT Kawasaki Motor Indonesia (KMI) will give you a surprise, by presenting the latest variant of the model Nakedbike. But, it is unclear whether the model that will be presented by Kawasaki. Reportedly model to be presented is Kawasaki er250.
Of course, I personally was not looking forward to the new model Kawasakis presence, and certainly according to reliable sources, this bike is 250cc. In my opinion it is Kawasaki er250. And incredibly, Indonesia became the first country to re-launch this nakebike Kawasaki models, as you saw earlier, the Kawasaki Ninja 250 Injection also launched the first in Indonesia.
Well my friend, you certainly are not looking forward to the presence of Kawasakis new nakedbike, we wait for its release in a few days.

The Falco Cafe Racer
This model is an original Aprilia - the SL 1000 Falco. And its a True-Blue Cafe Racer, isnt it? Well, the first impression is ... well.. is it really the Falco? Actually most of the original looks are shunned because the fairing is completely removed. To add to the looks, the naked headlamp does a lot for the Cafe Racer look. Now that the fairing is out, the stunner reveals the 60-degree v-twin, and the stubby tail unit. The exhaust just as the headlamp is custom made. The original bike was produced in 2000 to rival the Suzuki TL 100S, Ducati Super Sport 1000 and its likes.
The 60 ° V-Twin Rotax engine is a 1000cc 4 stroke machine belting 104 bhp at the rear wheel which is the same that does its duty on the RSV Mille. If you compare both the models, that is the original and the custom one, it looks so different, yet concentrate just a little bit and you will see that with the exception of the fairing, tail unit and exhaust, its just the same. The owner has really done a brilliant work with very few modifications. Other modifications beside the mentioned ones are only the head console. Everything else, even the tank and the frame are original. Couldnt make out who the owner is, but kudos to him. Really beautiful. A true modern cafe racer.

Cannabis The Green Devil from Poland
Let me begin with by saying that we all do believe in freedom of expression, right? Now the thing is that this beautiful bike is a Freedom of Expression of the craftsman. And what I am going to write or you for the matter of fact, going to understand will be my freedom of expression. Let me be a little more clear. The text is actually a google English version of the original Polish text. I am not very sure of the comprehension I got from google, so please read in between or please help with a better translation from the original source here.
The bike is an expression of freedom, freedom from 50 years of communalism in Poland. Harley Davidson was present in Poland during those years, but only those possessed it was governed by the authorities, that means you must have the government approval. The owner (I still dont know his name) has started a bike custom company by the name of Free Rider as now according to him, he can enjoy the same freedom as the Western world. He says "It is therefore a reference both to the cult movie EASY RIDER, and the collapse of communism in Poland."
The small company has also won the Mainz 2005 Bike Kits category. When they started out, they knew what they wanted. An expression of total freedom and what better than starting with the name Cannabis! They knew it will be controversial, but to express the freedom, that kind of freedom (you know what I mean), the name is apt! One more thing, the used the word because they believed in freedom of opinions, something which might have taken them to jail some years back in Poland.
However they fully promote taht Cannabis is for adults only and there should be strict age restriction. And yes, the idea was to make a motorcycle which can be a Showcase, something like a Show-Off. A huge inspiration to a motorcycle came from the AMerican hip-Hop group, Cypress Hill and specially the album Black Sunday.
The bike market of Poland in terms of manufacturing is still miles to go before they catch up with the present standards, but the passion for bike is burning just like any other country. The first bike company was build just seven years ago, neither is there a huge budget with the new companies. So technology and capacity has still some catching up to do. customization is relatively very new to Poland, but the artist within is clearly visible with such a brilliant example.
Its evident that these guys are very passionate and very very creative. The finishing on some items like the swiches in the handle bars may not be world class, but look at the detailing. The mixture of the different green shades, the leaf impression on the alloys, the graphics on the tank, everything adds up so beautifully. Ask yourself if you would ever put these colours on your bike or get the leaf impressions all over your bike, on the foot pegs, rear mudguard, tail light and I bet you wont, but they have jelled up the kits so perfectly that even the exhaust (looks like one from a Motocross bike) looks good.
This Green devil was created in 2006 within 7 months flat. The engine is from a Harley Davidson Shovelhead because the guys believe in old technology. Sure Europe has the latest gizmos available in their bikes today, but these guys wanted to recreate the old aura of carburated and air cooled engines. This massive 1650cc engine belts out an acclaimed 110 hp @ 5500 rpm with an amzing 178 Nm of torque. There is nothing written on the ride quality or on road behaviour, but as they said that this machine was made to Showcase and I believe it has served the purpose rather well.
The MEGOLA Concept Engine on A Wheel
MEGOLA Motorcycles. Have you heard the name before? Well, I did hear the name of this German firm, but always let it pass until I came upon a post in the blog where I got to know the bike. I have of course never seen the bike except for the net, not even in magazines. Now, this was a bike that has been probably one of those concepts which never got repeated. No, this was not a concept bike as around 2000 got produced in the early 20s of last century. To start off, it had its engine in the wheel. Yes, you read it right, engine on the wheel. To add that it was a rotary engine, of course a regular one was not feasible anyway. The other thing is that it was not a Wankel rotary. Now that your eyebrows are raised, let’s see what this concept was all about.
To start off, MEGOLA is a combination of Hans MEixner, Friedrich GOckerell and Otto LAndgraf, the three gentlemen who designed this bike. It was built in Munich from 1921 to 1925. Don’t go by the looks of the engine thinking that it will be some puny 125 cc engine because it is actually a 640cc engine.
This is rather a radial rotary of the type found in some of the early airplanes like Sopwith Camel and the Fokker Triplane. A further detailing on the engine reveals that in the Megola rotary engine, the cylinders rotate and the bearing housing is stationary, in effect acting as the front wheel spindle. To add to the confusion, this 5 cylinder engine’s crankshaft is actually the front axle and the engine rotates with the wheel. The Megolas rotary works on the four-stroke principles. The five side-valve cylinders measuring 52 x 60 mm for a total capacity of 637cc, are disposed at 72 degrees to one another. The spokes of the front wheel are laced to the crankcase, so the wheel rim encircles the engine.
The crank is actually hollow and it also substituted as an intake manifold. Yes, it is difficult to even imagine such a thing and it is weird, but the Megola was actually competitive in racing and won the 1924 German Championship.

The crank is actually hollow and it also substituted as an intake manifold. Yes, it is difficult to even imagine such a thing and it is weird, but the Megola was actually competitive in racing and won the 1924 German Championship.
The frame was made of welded and riveted sheet metal. The bike had no clutch and transmission or neutral gear, it had only one gear. So if there were no neutrals, how do you stop this machine? Simple. Just turn off the engine. And then, all you need to do was give a push to start the engine. Yes, everytime, I guess it would be difficult now, right? But it had dollops of torque and the high torque of the engine allowed it to accelerate from zero mph to its full speed with only one gear. Don’t take this bike as a weakling. You know it won the German Championships, right? And this is a rotary engine and 640cc does amount to a sizeable power albeit the hp. The racing Megolas or the Sports model actually was capable of reaching speeds of 140 kmph. The regular model had a top speed of 85 km/h (52 mph). It was rider Toni Bauhofer, averaging around 144 kmph while winning the Schleizer-Dreieck road race, in which he defeated the entire BMW works team. The regular model produced only around 14 hp @ 4800 rpm although it was sufficient for those times as it applied directly to the wheel. The Sports model produced around 25 hp @ 6500 rpm. Good for a bike with such dimensions and features.It was a regular contestant in both dirt track and road racing events in 1920s Germany. Of course, no clutch, no gearbox and no front brake meant it was better suited for flat-out blasts like autobahn racing than regular track racing. But it was in oval-track racing on dirt that the Megola really excelled. Why? Well, in oval track racing, traction is one huge factor and with this engine design, you can very well figure it out that it had a definite edge over regular bikes. Moreover, you would be able to hang the rear wheel out, while keeping the throttle wound and the front wheel pulling. But since it had only a single gear, for racing to alter gearing was to re-lace a rim of different diameter and so racers carried spare engine and wheel assemblies of varying rim diameters.
If you have seen the video, you can see how the bike is started after decompression. Well, having a front stand definitelt helps, but I was wondering that if you have to ride the bike, how do you start the bike and then get on the bike if you didn’t have the front stand. And along with the foot stand, how would you remove the stand and get on the seat immediately as the bike would shoot off as soon as the tyre lands on the ground. Sure there must have been some problem with lubrication and exhaust design and things like that but there were also some very plus points in this concept, for example the engine is assured of ample cooling. That is why Cockerell needs to be applauded as he had a solution for everything. Some small things on the bike were very well thought of or well executed. You may be thinking what if there is a flat tyre, do you need to take the entire engine out. Well, actually, the tube of the front wheel had a special design as the tube was an open circle, so it could be changed without taking the front wheel or the engine out. Imagine something like a circular sausage shape rather than a complete doughnut. And what about the fuel? Well, the box section frame contained the main fuel tank residing inside the pressed steel monocoque chassis, which fed by gravity a smaller tank mounted on the axle. But the main supply of fuel was a priming tank, so it had to be topped up regularly from the main supply by means of a hand pump on the right side. The throttle is a lever so it can be preset to maintain momentum while operating the pump. The front suspension was comprised of semi-elliptical springs but it was apparently seen as a weak point of the design. Also the engine and front wheel are suspended at the end of a small leaf spring, so it was bound for occasional break down.
So how did the idea start up? Actually, Friedrich Gockerell also known as Fritz Cockerell had designed a similar three-cylinder engine which was located in the rear wheel. Some say the idea wasn’t totally novel as a firm in Britain named Radco had had attempted a similar front wheel drive in 1919. Nonetheless, Cockerall felt a five-cylinder engine would be better suited for speed and redesigned the engine layout and by the time production was about to begin, Cockerell thought of switching the motor to the front wheel. Cockerell really thought of the bike as the future of motorcycling.
There is probably only two Megola in the U.S, one in the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the other, Jay Leno owns now which he bought it from Jeff Craig of Pennsylvia who gave the machine a full restoration. It would have probably survived and also caught on, but Germany was reeling through an economic crisis at that time and they had to shut shop. It was later replaced by a more conventional 175 cc runabout under the Cockerell name. Out of the 2000 made, only around 10 remain. So you can well imagine how much this thing will go for if someone even thinks about selling it. Only 10 and that too a concept never ever tried before or after. Today the Megola is one of the rarest and most interesting vintage motorcycles. Cockerell died in 1965 and now he might have given a justification as why he thought and built this rare concept, but guess, we will never know.
