2010 Honda VFR1200F

Honda's big news for the 2010 model year is the new VFR1200F, a sporty sports tourer that can be had with an amazing new dual-clutch transmission – the first ever on a motorcycle. The VFR has drawn a wide-ranging variety of opinions. Is it a heavy sportbike or a lightweight super-sport-tourer?
It's actually somewhere in the middle, as we found out after riding the VFR1200 on and around the Sugo Sportsland race circuit in Japan. Honda's newest V-4 nestles into a spot between the smaller VFR800 and the more luxurious ST1300. The obvious competitors are the big sport-touring machines we compared in our 2009 Sport-Touring Shootout: the ST1300, Yamaha FJR1300, Kawasaki Concours 14 and BMW K1300GT. But our ride on the innovative Viffer revealed that it is sportier than that quartet.

LG Crystal GD900

The LG Crystal GD900 is a slider, equipped with transparent, touch sensitive keypad. It allows not only entering numbers and typing messages, but performing different actions through gestures as well. The device sports a 3-inch display that is also touch sensitive and you can control all functions of the phone with it. The camera has 8-megapixel sensor, although lacks the functionality of the Viewty Smart. The Crystal also supports DivX and Xvid content, but (again) with resolution up to CIF (not exceeding 352x288 pixels). The handset comes with a nice audio player and enough space to store files – 1.5GB built-in memory and support of microSDHC cards with capacity to 32GB. What you also get in the box is a pair of headphones (with a mike), software CD, user manual, wall charger, USB cable. Whether or not you get a TV-Out cable depends on your region and retailer .more------->

1125R superbike

Buell motorcycles has released a racing spec version of its 1125R superbike, dubbed the 1125RR. Built specifically for competition in the AMA’s American Superbike class, the 1125RR MSRP is $39,995 – a full 28K more than its stock sibling.
The new 1125RR was actually announced by AMA Pro Road Racing first, reporting this morning that the new Buell was eligible for the upcoming American Superbike races at Mid-Ohio. Now the boys from East Troy, Wisconsin have filled in some of the details with a press release of their own.

The biggest changes to the 1125RR are inside its Rotax-built Helicon Twin. The 1125cc engine, sporting an unchanged 103mm bore x 67.5mm stroke, makes use of “a larger airbox and intake manifold, revised valves and camshafts, a higher compression ratio.”
