The Aprilia SRV 850
I really liked motorcycles scooters, this time Id seen remarkable is the latest scooters from Aprilia, lets look together.
The Aprilia SRV 850 engine is the first and only 90° V two cylinder scooter engine and it makes the maxi from Veneto the fastest and most powerful scooter ever manufactured anywhere in the world. The new system ensures maximum efficiency in terms of fuel economy and emissions control.
On the Aprilia SRV 850 the aluminium swingarm is secured in an entirely solid way to the frame, guaranteeing excellent stability at high speed. SRV 850 brings the style of the Aprilia maxi bikes to the scooter world.
The front end is the extreme summary of Aprilia stylistic language: the triple headlight, the dynamic air intakes under the light assembly and the racing top fairing are elements that the SRV 850 has in common with the bike that revolutionised the super sport world. The graphic of the complete instrument panel, in perfect Aprilia Racing style, is at the same level as the best super sport bikes.
The sleek and slender rear end of the SRV 850 ends with a spectacular LED technology light assembly which the new maxi two cylinder from Aprilia shares with the Dorsoduro 1200, another “extreme”, bike, standard bearer of the Aprilia maxi bike muscular sportiness: a family of vehicles which the SRV 850 is a full member of, bringing unique sport characteristics to the scooter world without compromises, not even in style.
The generous power of the Aprilia two cylinders engine demands a superbly rigid chassis. The double cradle frame of the Aprilia SRV 850 is made of steel trellis pipes with reinforcing and rigidity plates. The new Aprilia maxi scooter leans into turns like a sport bike, reaching 45° angles, maintaining neutral behaviour and extraordinary road holding. The braking system at the front uses Brembo Gold Series double piston floating callipers and two 300mm semi-floating steel discs. The Aprilia SRV 850 is even equipped with a parking brake operated by a practical lever on the right of the leg shield.

The New Hand Controls Install Part II The Wiring
The internal wiring is done.Today I ran the internal wiring. I used 16g stranded copper wire for the job. Originally I had 18g ready to go, but upon closer inspection it seemed a little skimpy and I think 16g is more appropriate for 15 amp circuits. Its what the MoCo used. Its what Ill use. It was a little tricky to get the wiring done, mostly because the terminal posts on the new switches are so damn small - a third hand tool is critical for your sanity. If you dont have one, it is an indispensable aid and I recommend you go buy one. Also, having two holes for the wiring to go through required me to think a little bit more during the fishing process, but it was not any more painful than usual once I got going.
Some people use fishing line and a bolt, others blow a string through with compressed air, others still will suck a string through with a vacuum, etc. I think the best way is to fish a light chain through (link to the technique in a previous post). The weight makes it an easy, fast and predictable way to get through the bends and it pops right out your exit hole pretty much without any effort. Then you tape the wires to the end of the chain, make a huge mess with baby powder and push/pull the wires through. Simple.
Next up, since different colored wires were used for the new switches and I wasnt sure what did what on the new switches, I had to use the original wiring diagram from the service manual and some educated guesses in order to come up with the new wiring diagram. I double and triple checked all the connections to make absolutely, positively sure that the final wiring would be correct. It was, and everything worked.
The new wiring scheme.

The new wiring scheme.After that was finished, then basically all that was left of the wiring was to secure the final connections. Weather-proof, crimped, heated connectors were chosen to ensure long-term reliability. And as I mentioned earlier, a third hand tool is critical for maintaining a reasonable level of frustration.
Pretty straightforward, but just make sure all your wiring is correct!
Harnesses all back together again.
The new HI-OFF-LOW beam switch. Dont forget that shrink wrap tubing.Now with the handlebar setup almost done, all thats left is to get them on there, reconnect the harnesses, mount the hi/lo beam switch on the headlamp bucket, wire the banjo bolt pressure switch to the front brake, bleed the front brake, and then finally grind down that lip on the stock HD levers. Ill probably end up hitting the rest of the lever with a scotchbrite wheel to make it look nice and even.

The 2013 Kawasaki Z1000
It’s some new motorcycle from Kawasaki Motor in 2013. The name is 2013 Kawasaki Z1000. The bike attracts riders with its muscular good looks and then seduces them with its incredible power and charismatic feel. Serious torque, comfortable ergonomics, and a mesmerizing aesthetic make for an unforgettable experience. Its distinctive look begins with a front cowl that slopes back radically, highlighting the Z’s aggression. The line-beam headlights are integrated nicely into that angled cowl. Then its shapely fuel tank is flared on the sides for serious knee grip and is slimmer in back for a snug fit.

Fuel System used Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) with four 38mm Keihin throttle bodies, oval sub-throttles. Ignition used TCBI with Digital Advance and six-speed of transmission. The engine inline-four packs impressive horsepower combined with the sort of flexible, mid-range-heavy power delivery that pastes a silly grin on the face of anyone lucky enough to be aboard. 38mm downdraft throttle bodies allow intake air to travel to the engine in the shortest possible distance.
The 2013 Kawasaki Z1000 frame used aluminum backbone frame, similar in concept to the Ninja® ZX™-10R. The design allows a narrow mid-section, which fosters a high degree of rider comfort and feedback in addition to keeping weight low and chassis rigidity high. The frame’s five-piece construction consists of steering stem, left and right main frames, and two cross pieces. The two main frame components have open C-shaped cross sections. The main frame and swingarm pivot elements are cast as a single unit, with welds eliminated wherever possible for a more aesthetically pleasing look. And the subframe is a lightweight aluminum die-casting, which is light, smooth and beautiful.

Magni The Art of MV Agusta
That MV Agusta makes the best damn looking bike in the world are a foregone conclusion. Even among the Italians, it is only Ducati who can have a duel with MV when it comes to sheer looks and like all bikes Italian, they perform brilliantly too. Now there are times when a MV looks even better than a MV. One such credit goes to a certain Mr. Arturo Magni. You must have heard the name Magni many times and closely associated with Italian brands. this is one special bike designed by Arturo Magni. The typical Magni motorcycle can be easily recognized. Not just by the sheer beauty it caries, and that Ferrari red is actually not present in all the later models. But you just know that it is a Magni, probably because of the Cafe Racer looks with the typical seat and those fine exhausts, but if you look at the other models in his website that are not MV, even then that typical Magni look overshadows the bike whether it is a Honda or a Guzzi.
This special Magni motorcycle is the MV Agusta 750 Magni bored out to 840cc and equipped with chain drive, new frame, seat and tank in the Magni mould, and that oh-so-beautiful exhaust system. This particular model is from 1979 called the MV Agusta Magni Superlight. And this is up for auction (or at least was) at the Mid America Auctions at the Concours. It has a magnesium crankcases, an 830cc displacement, electric starter, and internal gears which have been machined and lightened to race specs. Auction price was set at $162,000 and I am not joking.
The MV Agusta 850 Magni launched in 1978 had engine specifications of a transverse four cylinder air cooled, four stroke, DOHC engine displacing 837cc with 2 valves per cylinder. Its bore & Stroke was of 68.8 x 56 mm with a compression ratio of 10.3:1. Induction was through 4 DellOrto carbs of size 27mm which was 
enough to release a power of 81.8 hp @ 9000 rpm with more than sufficient torque. Transmission was through a 5 speed gear and final drive was by chain. Way back in 1979, it featured front suspension of 38mm Forcelle Italia telescopic forks which was preload and rebound damping adjustable while the rear suspension had dual Koni shocks that was also preload adjustable. It even featured rear disc brake (single 280mm) while having 2 280mm discs up front. And it weighed 200 kg. In 1979, it had an upgraded version, the MV Agusta 861S Magni where capacity was increased to 861cc through its reworked bore of 70mm whle the stroke was not disturbed. While rest of the things were similar, thanks to the larger bore, maximum power went further up to 92.5 hp @ 10000 rpm.

While rest of the things were similar, thanks to the larger bore, maximum power went further up to 92.5 hp @ 10000 rpm. Well Magni or Arturo Magni was a brilliant designer. It was in 1947 when Arturo Magni began his career in the racing department of he Italian brand Gilera. Gilera at that time had the services of one Mr. Piero Remor who was the designer of the famous four cylinders double overhead cams that Gilera produced and raced at that time. The present world has not heard much about Remor, but he was really world famous during that time. Magni started his career under Remor. Learning the initial trade from Remor, Arturo Magni joined a newly formed MV Agusta racing department in 1950. He was with MV till 1977 and retired as chief of the famed MV Reparto Corsa when they decided to retire from racing. Under Magnis management, the team won 75 world championships and over 3,000 races. That is itself a record still untouched by any other manufacturer. It was under this banner that legends like Giacomo Agostini won 15 world championships. How about the names of John Surtees or a Mike Hailwood? All were from the same racing DNA school. With such a reputation under him , Magni and his sons set up shop to build special versions of production motorcycles and the first versions were the 750cc and 788cc MV Sport & MV America road bikes.
Everything was new, new frames, new tanks, new seats, chain deives, it was a new bike. And Magni bikes had that certain Magni look whether it was the MV Agusta or later the Guzzis, the bikes were distinctively Magni. In reality, a Magni MV was better lokking than a MV. Period. But during those days, MV didnt really had a lot of street versions of their bikes and so Magni bikes were even fewer. With not too many donor bikes to work upon, Magni shifted the focus towards more available Honda bikes and designed the Honda 900 Bol dOr replicas, named MH1 which was a naked bike without fairings and there was a completely faired and full featured bike called the MH2. About 300 of these models were produced in total. See all the bikes and read the story in the Magni website. Later they also worked on the BMW Boxer series in similar fashion like the Honda naming them MB1 & MB2. In the mid 80s, they started designing on Moto Guzzis and the partnership still exist. It was in the LeMams model and it was fully faired. They developed a new suspension called the parallelogrammo to eliminate the reactions normally induced with shaft drive motorcycles. Magni died in 2005.
Visit the site of Magni where you could just jawdrop on the stunning models of MV Agusta, Honda, Moto Guzzi and some Suzuki motorcycles.

Tip safely ride a motorcycle in the rain
Riding a motorcycle when the rain is advisable to be careful, because a motorcycle is a two-wheeled vehicles, and of course very dangerous when riding a motorcycle when the rainy weather, and we esteemed body would also be protected from the rain, because rain water is also not good for health , Therefore I find some safe tips rain while riding a motorcycle following:
- Do not forget to always bring a raincoat. When he started to rain and youre driving then do not panic stay calm and immediately to the edge to stop and use a raincoat. Make sure the head remains free for the movement should not be constrained by your raincoat. And make sure you do not cover the raincoat you to look back through the rearview mirror.
- Always bring a washcloth, and reserve sparkplug installer tool and release the spark plug. Why should carry spare spark plugs? Because we do not know when our bike broke down and did not know whether we strike when there is a motorcycle repair shop or a shop selling spare parts that are still open. In the big cities at this time when the rains often flood or any water that flooded roads, which are very prone to go on our motorcycle spark plugs. The main factor that often causes the motorcycle to strike when the rainy season is the spark plug intruding water. If the strike is off and clean the spark plugs and spark plug place. How to clean it, after the spark plugs in the spark plug cap off with a cloth and then do like when going to turn on a motorcycle. The aim is to dry the place of spark plugs from water. If you still can not then replace it with new spark plugs.
- Keep shoes do not wear flip-flops while driving a motorcycle let alone when it rains. In general, people love shoes more than salvation itself, but by using the shoes will make us safer while driving especially in the rain where many roads are slippery.
- When rain pants do the folding. Why? Because it can harm your feet. First exposed to the danger and the second motorcycle engine dangerous if dropped feet unprotected so prone to injury.
- When the rains make sure your bike lights are always lit. In rainy conditions reduce your speed in the drive even in a deserted place. Keep enough distance with the vehicle in front of you. The rain can hinder our view to it we must be careful because every time we may require action to stop suddenly possible because there are holes in the road, there may be people who cross the street, vehicles may also have the opposite direction to that is overtaking us. Well when it rains sometimes brakes not functioning as accurate as when it does not rain because even though the wheel has stopped motorcycle tires slippery enough to rub against the road. And remember when the brakes would be great if you use front and rear brakes simultaneously, and little by little.
