New Honda CBR1000RR Sport Motorcycle 2010


The new 2010 model adds engine changes that provide an even smoother power delivery.

New for 2010 Honda CBR1000RR
  • Increased-diameter flywheel for more inertia and improved performance.
  • Redesigned license plate stay for easier removal on track days.
  • New muffler cover for enhanced appearance.
  • Exciting new colors: Pearl Orange/Light Metallic Silver and Red/Black. C-ABS model available in Black only.


Engine/Drivetrain
  • Compact, liquid-cooled DOHC 16-valve 999cc four-stroke inline four-cylinder engine features bore and stroke dimensions of 76mm x 55.1mm.
  • Removable cylinder block with Nikasil-coated cylinders.
  • Sixteen-valve cylinder head features 30.5mm intake and 24mm exhaust valves with a 12.3:1 compression ratio for efficient combustion and high horsepower.
  • Larger titanium intake valves create a lighter valve train and feature double-spring design for optimum performance at high rpm.
  • Intake ports use latest shot-peening technology that improves power and torque characteristics.
  • Cam-pulser location between the middle cylinders allows a narrower cylinder head and frame.
  • Direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation system ensures high-rpm durability and allows 16,000-mile valve maintenance intervals.
  • Forged-aluminum thin-domed, high-strength pistons feature molybdenum coating for reduced friction.
  • Lightweight nutless connecting rods.
  • Iridium-tip spark plugs improve fuel combustion and performance.
  • Dual Stage Fuel Injection (DSFI) (see Technology Section).
  • 46mm throttle bodies feature Denso injectors with lightweight valving for faster reaction time and 12 holes per injector to optimize mixture atomization, combustion efficiency and power.
  • Auto-enriching system is integrated into Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) module, eliminating the need for a manual choke.
  • Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) minimizes torque reaction and smoothes response to small throttle changes through gradual reductions of air and fuel intake when the throttle is opened and closed.
  • Ignition Interrupt Control system works with IACV and FI mapping to enhance driveability.
  • Smaller and lighter ECU provides two 3-D fuel-injection maps for each cylinder and two 3-D ignition maps for cylinder pairs, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark-advance settings for superb rideability.
  • MotoGP-derived twin-tunnel ram-air system allows a high volume of cooler air to the 9.7-liter airbox for linear power delivery and incredible engine performance.
  • Butterfly valves inside the ram-air ducts open and close depending on throttle opening and engine rpm for optimum performance.
  • Compact, low-mount exhaust system design reduces rear bodywork size and incorporates exhaust valve and catalyst, contributing to significantly improved mass centralization, and reducing roll and yaw inertia.
  • High-capacity radiator incorporates twin cooling fans and allows a more compact cowl for reduced drag coefficient.
  • Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioner.
  • Starter gears located on the right side to produce narrow engine that allows for increased lean angle.
  • Patented slipper-clutch design uses a center cam-assist mechanism for easier actuation. Unlike an ordinary slipper clutch where the pressure plate moves from side to side, the Honda clutch moves both the center cam assist and the pressure plate to provide additional slipper effect.
  • Nine-plate clutch is compact and tough, featuring durable friction plate material.
  • Durable #530 O-ring-sealed drive chain.
Additional Features
  • Iconic Honda Wing tank badge.
  • Lightweight aluminum sidestand.
  • Handlebars are repositioned forward for excellent ergonomics.
  • High-capacity 400-watt AC generator (non-Combined ABS model).
  • High-tech instrument display features tachometer and LCD readouts for speedometer, coolant temperature, odometer, two tripmeters, clock, mpg, average fuel consumption and reserve fuel used.. A low-fuel LED light and shift-indicator light are located above the LCD.
  • Line-beam headlight features two-piece reflector design utilizing two H7 bulbs for optimum light distribution and unique compact design.
  • LED taillights for lighter weight and improved appearance.
  • Front turn signals integrated into folding aerodynamic mirrors.
  • Plastic tank shell cover protects tank and airbox.
  • Convenient ignition switch/fork lock for added security.
  • Convenient push-to-cancel turn-signal switch.
  • Maintenance-free high-capacity battery.
  • Transferable one-year, unlimited-mileage limited warranty; extended coverage available with a Honda Protection Plan.

New Toyota Suspends Sales 2010


New Toyota Suspends Sales 2010

After announcing the largest auto recall in US history last fall to fix sudden acceleration problems, Toyota late Thursday announced an additional Toyota Recall List 2010 of some 2.3 million vehicles. The announcement was made after ABC News told the Japanese automaker that it was going to air a report about more Toyota sudden-acceleration problems.

The problem: The accelerator can stick when it's pushed down. “Our investigation indicates that there is a possibility that certain accelerator pedal mechanisms may, in rare instances, mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position," Irv Miller, a group vice president for Toyota Motor Sales, said in a press release.

Is your Toyota at risk? Here's a list of models involved in the Toyota Recall List 2010 :

The Best Car Available from Lexus

The Best Car Available from Lexus

What is the equation that defines a perfect car? Automakers are well aware of the fact that people want to buy the “best” car available. Hence you see advertising slogans like “Pursuit of Perfection” (from Lexus). According surveys, Lexus is probably the closest car to being perfect in terms of reliability. Lexus is also known for being one of the quietest cars. (Remember the old commercial with a stack of champaign glasses placed on the hood while the engine was running?)

The Cool Cars for Gumball 3000 Toronto

The Cool Cars for Gumball 3000 Toronto

This Lamborghini in matte black is equipped with a roof rack for extra storage.

Toronto is the second last stop for this year’s Gumball 3000 event. Each year, the ultra-rich drive their exotic cars around different cities to show off their rides and receive celebrity treatment from the crowd.

For car fans, the Gumball 3000 is way better than a lot of the Canadian auto shows. That’s because regular people like myself get to go up close to the cool cars. (In auto shows, these exotic cars are at least ten feet from the crowd) Better yet, some of the generous owners let people sit inside their Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s. I also had an opportunity to talk to some of the car owners. To my surprise, they were very friendly and polite when answering people’s questions.

Top 3 Minivans Toyota is Potentials for Same Cool Mods

Top 3 Minivans Toyota is Potentials for Same Cool Mods

Toyota Alphard has potentials for some cool mods.

To most Canadians, driving a minivan has never been a cool thing to do. Rather, it is more like, “mom drives a minivan because it is easy to transport kids around town”. The “soccer mom” image makes minivans a turn-off for the ladies.

Personally, I do not have a problem with minivans, provided that it a second car. They are not too much fun to drive, but its practicality outweighs any handling deficiencies. My neighbour describes this perfectly: A minivan is like a guy’s Swiss army knife. There are so many things you can do with a minivan that my regular sedan cannot – bringing my mountain bike to Centre Island for a ride, transporting large items like furniture and big screen TVs, and more.
