• 2022 Honda CB300R gets model updates for Europe

  In Bikes, Honda Motorcycles, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 3 March 2022 12:25 pm / 1 comment

  

  Given a thorough makeover is the 2022 Honda CB300R Neo Sports Cafe for Europe. Biggest change for the 2022 model year is the inclusion of 41mm diameter Showa Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) with a five-step preload-adjustable monoshock at the back.

  Also new for the CB300R is the use of an inertial measurement unit controlling the two-channel ABS and giving precise front and rear distribution of ABS operation depending on the vehicle behaviour. Another major upgrade is the addition of an assist and slipper clutch to the six-speed gearbox while the gear shift linkage now comes with an adjustable joint to precisely set shifting movement.

  

  

  

  Rider comfort is also thought of with a new revised seat cover thickness for additional comfort while both rider and pillion footpeg hangers are made from aluminium. Inside the cockpit, a slim (23 mm) full function LCD instrument display provides speed, engine rpm and fuel level while the gear position indicator is now displayed prominently.

  Full LED lighting is used throughout with the headlight now separated into distinct high and low beams while the tail light is a slim unit, tidying up the rear end of the CB300R. Meanwhile, the exhaust can is now a low-slung unit with side exit, replacing the previous side mounted unit that had a higher cut.

  

  Power for the CB300R comes from a Euro 5 compliant 286 cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-valve, single-cylinder mill. Power is claimed to be 30.7 hp at 9,000 rpm with torque rated at 27.5 Nm at 7,750 rpm.

  With fuelling controlled by Honda’s PGM-Fi, the CB300R carries 10 litres of fuel in the tank and fuel consumption is listed at 3.31 litres per 100 km. Weighing in at 144 kg wet, the CB300R has a seat height of 799 mm with braking done by Nissin brake callipers, a radial-mount, four-piston unit in front and single-piston at the rear, clamping 296 mm and 220 mm diameter discs, respectively.

• Harley-Davidson to launch LiveWire S2 Del Mar e-bike

  In Bikes, Electric motorcycles, Harley-Davidson, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 2 March 2022 3:31 pm / 0 comment

  

  Following the spin-off of its electric motorcycle (e-bike) into the LiveWire brand, Harley-Davidson (H-D) will launch another model in the range by the second quarter of 2022. Dubbed the S2 Del Mar, the new Livewire e-bike will slot in below the LiveWire One and will be priced accordingly.

  The S2 Del Mar is based on LiveWire’s Arrow platform, designed to be lighter and cheaper to manufacture than the LiveWire One’s more traditional design of frame cradling an electric motor. With a battery pack designed in-house by H-D engineers, the S2 Del Mar uses 21700-format cylindrical Li-ion battery cells, giving a greater energy density for a little more weight.

  The battery pack is used as a stressed member, eliminating the need for a separate frame. Substituting for the Revelation electric motor used in the one with its drip system, the S2 Del Mar will come with a direct drive system.

  With the introduction of the S2 Del Mar alongside the One, H-D intends to move strongly into the e-bike market. This includes an ambitious plan to sell 100,000 e-bikes by 2026, it was reported in an investor prospectus.

• 2022 Honda Hawk 11 teaser shown, reveal March 19

  In Bikes, Honda Motorcycles, International Bike News / By Mohan K Ramanujam / 1 March 2022 10:18 am / 2 comments

  

  A teaser from Honda purportedly shows the scheduled for release 2022 Honda Hawk 11. From the teaser, a head on view of the Hawk 11 shows the front fairing which is done in typical cafe racer style with the unveiling taking place at the Honda Motorcycle Show on March 19 in Japan.

  While full specifications of the Hawk 11 are yet to be revealed, from the press release, expect to see “a high powered concept motorcycle, providing a new standard in motorcycle lifestyle for the rider, especially those with experience.” Some are surmising the Hawk 11 will be replacing the CB1100 that has since gone out of production.

  As for engine configuration, speculation is rife the Hawk 11 will be equipped with a 1,084 cc, parallel-twin power plant. This engine is currently used in the Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L, NT1100 and Rebel CMX1100.

  The Hawk name is not new to Honda motorcycle fans, with the name last seen in Malaysia in the single-cylinder Honda Hawk 145 as well as other Honda bikes in the 70s and 80s. Falling out of use in the Honda catalogue in the 90s, most Hawk models were naked sports machines of medium displacement and below.

  With the resurgence of Suzuki motorcycles in Malaysia under new distributorship, orders are now being taken for the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S150. Hints of Suzuki’s small capacity motorcycles were shown in a teaser video with rumours of a launch towards the middle part of 2022.

  With registration now being open for the Suzuki GSX-S150 naked sports, as well as the Suzuki GSX-R150 sportsbike, it looks like Suzuki Malaysia is serious about entering the small capacity market and building the brand. The challenge will come for Suzuki is going up against the two established Japanese brands in the market, Yamaha and Honda with a wide range of motorcycle types catering to various price points.

  Power for the GSX-S150 comes from a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC mill displacing 147.3 cc, mated to a six-speed gearbox. The GSX-S150 produces 19 hp at 10,500 rpm and 14 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm, with the engine fed by EFI.

  

  With an overall weight of 130 kg, the GSX-150 comes with hydraulic disc brakes on the front and rear 17-inch wheels. Suspension is done with conventional telescopic forks and a monoshock at the back, with LCD instrument panel, LED lighting and 11-liter fuel tank.

  In Malaysia, the GSX-S150 goes directly against the Yamaha MT-15, priced at RM11,988, which will give an indication of the Suzuki’s price point. However, the MT-15 does come equipped with upside-down forks, slip and assist clutch and wider tyres.
