AKHIR OKTOBER, DUKE 200 LAUNCHING DI INDIA

-
Via motorbeam.com didapatkan info yang cukup menarik bahwa KTM Duke 200 akan resmi launching pada akhir bulan Oktober di India. Kemudian semua pengiriman produk ini akan dilakukan mulai bulan Januari 2012. Disana disebutkan bahwa Bajaj benar-benar akan memposisikan harga Duke 200 sangat kompetitif sekali. Oleh karena harga yang sangat bersaing tersebut, maka akan dijumpai sebagian part Pulsar yang akan menempel pada KTM Duke 200. Dan perkiraan harga akan dikisaran 1.4 lakhs (140000 rupee) yang berarti sekitar 25 juta rupiah! Wow...! (Itu harga di India, jadi kalau dijual di Indonesia maksimal kena pajak dll sekitar 30 juta-an). Harga ini jelas jauh di bawah CBR250 dan Duke 200 tetap bermain di area yang aman.

Dengan beberapa spesifikasi yang sudah sering kita jumpai di media online lainnya, disini disebutkan juga bahwa selain power yang dihasilkan cukup besar sekitar 22-24 hp, generasi Pulsar berikutnya akan datang bersamaan dengan Duke 200. Wah, sebuah persembahan terbaik bagi Pulsar lovers nih. Jadi, berita launchingnya Duke 200 di India ini merupakan deretan peristiwa launching Duke 200 di beberapa negara tetangga kita seperti Malaysia dan Brazil beberapa waktu yang lalu. Ehm...mengingat perbedaan waktu launching setiap produk Bajaj dari India dan Indonesia yang tidak terpaut lama, sepertinya Indonesia bisa menjadi target berikutnya. Namun, bagaimana nasib Duke 150 / Duke 250 yang katanya akan khusus dipasarkan di Indonesia saja? Apakah rumor itu hanya sebagai upaya agar penantian Duke 200 ini tidak terlalu lama? Salam!

Have you seen Priest film that motion at cinema in 2011 directed by Scott Charles Stewart? That sci-fi horror film was about the journeys between humans, priests and vampires that had joined together at the battles for centuries in an alternate world. There's a lot an innovate products and the prototypes which dominated by the motorcycles in the film. Priest film takes a lot scenes at desert, and I thought all of motorcycles designed with it purposes too. What do you think about the motorcycles that showed up on film? The set of scenes looks similar with Mad Max films and Resident Evil Extinction film. Those wardrobes and vehicles had a dirty look, sandy, dusty and rusty. The vehicles usually equipped with special weapons and hi-tech stuffs. The purpose was winning the battle at desert! Priest bikes built and assembled from the Suzuki Gladius 650, a V-Twin engine 645 cc four stroke 2 cylinder naked bike. I thought the Priest bikes was a chopper or an American muscle bikes, but i

This custom modification has applied on 2008 Bajaj Pulsar 180 UG3. Parts were modified is the rims, tyres and swing arms. Modify begin from replacing original rims. I'm using a brand-new aftermarket part V-Rossi, it comes with aluminium sizes 3 inch front 4,5 inch rear. Its 17 inch rims have a same size of wheels. Second, both tyres change to a Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro, those were used tyres that I bought with a cheap prizes. It tyres bigger than original, front 120/70 and rear 180/55. Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro is a track day and competition summer tyre, created with compound rubber materials. It has a rubber which burnt quick on the road surfaces. No matter it version of compounds, these tyres should fitted on bike. Just remember to prepare an UG4/200 swing arms from Pulsar, it's because a swing arms UG3 was built for a medium tyre sizes. And we need it as wide to fit with large tyres. Last part that changed was a 300 mm disc brake. Most brand-new rims integrated
