FC Moto 650NK is a duplicate of Kawasaki ER-6

otoMan friend this time we will discuss about copy copy, or duplicate other words,,

Again, Chinese manufacturers make two-wheeled commotion lovers, especially lovers of motor sport. No half-hearted this time, aka motor Mocin emulate China's motor sport Kawasaki ER-6.

CF is the motto which is a Chinese motor manufacturer has introduced a new fleet which they named 650NK with an engine capacity of 650cc reached. FC does not stop there motto was now ready for mass produced motorcycle memuasakan their customers in China.

As reported by visidorwn, Thursday (30/06/2011) FC Moto 650NK has emerged in China and has met the dealers in China to form offered looked familiar because it has a remarkable similarity with the Kawasaki ER-6.

The resemblance was seen throughout the body belongs to FC Moto 650NK with Kawasaki ER-6. Like the shape of bones and body lines of the two vehicles.

Similarities can be seen in the headlamp's FC Moto-shaped oval, only there is a difference in the speedometer. When Kawasaki's ER-6 speedometer above the headlamp there like a hat, but for FC Moto has a speedometer that may be in a headlamp which has become one entity.

Further similarities were also seen in the fuel tank that carries the impression of a charming sports.

But there is little difference in side the tank lid. When FC motto 650NK, cover over and above the tank is then contained turn signal and engine cover into a separate section. While in the position of the Kawasaki ER-6 had no cover but there are only a tank of V Twin engine cover slightly angled shape and contained turn signal.

While upholstery seating for both rider this bike is different. FC Moto 650NK offers two separate setter, but for the Kawasaki ER-6 offered seatter form a unity and longer.

Subsequently found on the rear engine cover and step to put a foot for rear passengers. FC Moto form offered much stiffer with the look of two-dimensional. While the Kawasaki ER-6 is more feminine and attractive with only one bar offers a step.

The resemblance is very visible on the placement of the second exhaust this bike. But the only difference being the form of exhaust Kawasaki ER-6 is more pointy like a missile, while the FC's motto 650NK has a larger form.

So is the cover under the engine and exhaust under very similar, only the shapes are different vent.

And for the rest like the placement of the legs, back and front suspension, disc discs, body position and shape of bones are all the same frame.

Wow, terrific China for the umpteenth time, can provide a perfect duplicate.

ok so first discussion this time, hopefully can be an inspiration and information to help you,, (otoMan)

Mobil Rp 13 juta akan Launching Tahun depan Di Indonesia?

sahabat otoMan..

kali ini kita akan membahas salah satu HOt topic,, wew mengapa di katakan hot karna emang panas banget kenapa panas?? karena ngga dingin huahhah just kiding,,,:P

baru-baru ini pabrikan mobil asal China, Geely siap membuat mobil murah sejagat dan menyebar ancaman untuk pesaingnya. kenapa mengancammm?? baca dulu deh ampe akhir arikel huhahaha...

Mobil anyar mereka Intelligent Geely (IG) yang sebelumnya tampil di ajang otomotif bergengsi Beijing Auto Show siap diproduksi pada 2012 dan dipasarkan 2013 mendatang. Mobil ini begitu memikat, apalagi target harga mobil ini juga sangat murah yakni hanya sebesar 10.000 RMB atau sekitar Rp 13 jutaan saja. Bila dilihat dari harganya, IG hampir sama dengan harga sebuah motor di Indonesia. gimana mengancam nggak?? daripada belu motor yang kepanasan kedinginan ke ujanan ya tohhhhh.. :P

kabar datang dari salah satu partner mereka di indonesia yaitu PT Geely Mobil Indonesia (GMI) menurut mereka tidak menutup kemungkinan akan mendatangkan mobil ini ke Indonesia. "IG siap dipasarkan 2013 nanti dengan harga 10.000 yuan. Bisa saja kita masukan juga kesini," ujar Presiden Direktur PT Geely Mobil Indonesia (GMI) A Budi Pramono kepada detikOto. Bila niatan GMI ini benar terlaksana, IG tentu menjadi pilihan menarik bagi mereka yang ingin beralih dari motor ke mobil.yo jelass lahh hihih ..

Sebab selain harganya tidak jauh beda dengan motor, mobil ini pun akan mematahkan predikat mobil termurah sejagat yang selama ini dipegang oleh Tata Nano yang saat ini sudah naik harga menjadi antara US$ 2.800-3.800 (Rp 26-35,2 juta).nah loh tuhh kan apa otoMan kata,, tata dado pun kalah murah hihih*upsss :P

Konsep IG sendiri tampil mengesankan di ajang Beijing Auto Show lalu dengan desain dan teknologi terkini. Pada model konsepnya, IG mengaplikasi pintu model sayap camar alias gullwing dengan lekuk tubuh yang futuristik. Sementara untuk dapur pacunya, Geely IG konsep tersebut sudah mengaplikasi teknologi hibrid dengan memadukan sebuah mesin konvensional berkapasitas 998 cc dan sebuah motor listrik. Dengan perpaduan dua kekuatan itu, Geely IG mampu melaju hingga ke kecepatan 150 km/jam. Kemampuan tersebut didapatnya berkat sumbangan tenaga dari mesin konvensional yang mampu mengeluarkan tenaga hingga 52 kW pada 6.000 RPM dengan torsi mencapai 93 Nm pada 3.400-3.800 RPM.

Sementara motor listrik yang digerakan oleh Iron Phosphate lithium-nya mampu menyemburkan tenaga hingga 60 kW pada putaran mesin 6.000 RPM dengan torsi mencapai 180 Nm pada 6.000 RPM. untuk ukuran indonesia tuh udah lebih dari cukuppp kaleee,,, lah wong jalanya aja seperti ini mana ada kolam renang ada di tengah jalan kalo bukan di negri tercinta ini hihihi pisss pak presiden,,,, gimana mau nunggu Honda tralis atau Nex Vixion,,, hihhhih monggo komentarnyam kawann,, :P (otoMan)

Seventh Birthday!

As of yesterday, The Great Motorcycle Pizza Tour is seven years old.  I kind of can't believe it.  On the other hand, I can totally believe it.  I was re-reading some of my old posts, and cringing at the writing in some of them.  On the other hand, I felt pretty proud of a few of them.  Several of the posts from five years ago I could swear I'd just written last year.  

So, summer has arrived, and although I haven't been posting a lot recently, I haven't thrown in the towel on this blog yet either.  I hope you'll bear with me as I try to come up with ideas for more content.  Now that it's hot here in the desert, I may have to start doing pizza reviews for places in higher altitudes.  Or providing recipes for post-ride beverages.  Or something.

Anyway, thanks so much for reading along for the last several years!

Stations of the Cross II

I've been out of town since the begining of May so it's really delayed the printing of a new batch of Cross T-shirts.

I plan on changing the design this time around. For starters, I'll make the image larger. A few people told me they would prefer it without the words Knuck, Pan, Shovel, Block, probably because they thought the old layout looked too swazi. Instead, I'm leaning towards putting the words at the bottom to play up the cross effect.

What do you guys think?

Design 1. Plain, without copy, or...

Design 2. Copy stacked at bottom.

Leave a comment or email me with your vote!

Also, unless I hear that there is a demand for others, I'll probably only make them in sizes; Large, XL, and XXL.

New Discoveries in South Western Virginia

Rural Virginia. It's hard to imagine a place that let's you feel as though you've dropped back into an easier time. A time of grace and beauty. The hardness of the great slabs of rock, with only their domes left uncovered in the field where the livestock graze. Land not good for much else. When you gaze across the country side at the hills of South Western Virginia, you are able to grab a sense of how the people of this state were influenced and molded.  Rock and greenery, hand in hand in the fields: easy going, rough and hardy, sweet and bawdy...is South West Virginia.

Reminiscent reminders of grander times are all around.  Grand mansions, losing their grip to the ravages of time and neglect.

Barns left to the sages of time. Housing not work animals or tractors, but the wild critters such a coons, bats, and small night foraging mammals.  Man has filled some of the barns with the items he loves to save, and forgets them as quickly as he does the barn.

As you ride through the countryside, you will run across places and things that help define the South's role in the Civil War.  This next photo is of the brine kettles. In a town known as SALTVILLE, you will find these kettles, which supplied 1/3 of  all the salt used by the Confederate Army.  The salt came from brine water found in pockets beneath the soil. It was pumped to the surface and the water boiled away in these kettles, leaving behind...life giving SALT.

And here is the original "Walking Beam" pump from the Civil War time period. No...I don't know how this pump was powered. It didn't say, and I haven't found anything on the web to explain it. Sorry.

Then, there are the many log cabins still to be found. I love the shutters and always try to grab the photography of the shutters. I kinda think this is a reproduction of a cabin from long ago. I don't think they had nails with this kind of head on them. But it is still a nice contrasting photo of wood and metal. I think the hinges are original.

I found an excellent road running from Saltville to Tazewell. I ignored the sign's suggestion to continue on 601.  I kept my heading on VA-91 north. That's where a five mile stretch of gravel road comes into play. A well maintained section of road, it was wide, it was scenic, and in some sections it was a bit dangerous for a 2 wheeled vehicle like a Harley Davidson. But a rider who has confidence and experience will travel this road like it is a good paved surface...it was just that fine.  I liked he ability the road gave me to relive some of my "glory" days as a wanna be flat-tracker.

This photo shows how well maintained it is. A baby could ride this easily enough...except maybe his big wheel...front wheel might not roll to good on some of the larger chunks of rock?

What views VA-91 afforded. It was a good fun ride. Including amazing views and a fun technical ride too!

I have one last photo to leave you with.  This is the reason I didn't ride the Blue Ridge Parkway this day...but oh gosh...isn't this a wondrous view?

A portrait of Magnus Walker

We all love beautiful things ! The "911" is one of these perfect designed instruments, and Magnus Walker a true exception.Watch this Fantastic trailer by Tamir Moscovici

URBAN OUTLAW is a portrait of Magnus Walker, the rebel Porsche customizer who turned a hobby into an obsession, and an obsession into a successful business. From a workshop in downtown Los Angeles, Magnus obsessively harvests fragments from donor 911s, grafting them onto vintage frames to create one-off automobiles with the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche but an ethos entirely his own.

Bajaj Pulsar 200NS nggak jadi Nongol di PRJ?

dari info yang di dapat dari salah satu kawanya dia yang kerja di salah satu dealer BAJAJ di jakarta .. menurut dia BAJAJ Pulsar 200NS belum akan di pajang di PRJ. waduuhhhhh...  moga-moga aja kabar yang beredar salah,, aminnn
soalnya otoMan sangat pengin sekali lihat si P200NS di PRJ, dan bisa cepat-cepat Meminangdia ke garasi rumah,, wkwkkwkw,,

kalo menurut otoMan sih harusnya BAI bisa memanfaatkan moment tersebut guna melakukan beberapa survey. entah masalah harga yang layak di patok atau warna juga,, soalnya si P200Ns akan sama dengan si P220 yang di impor langsung dari India dengan cara utuh maupun terpisah,,, ehh RAJIV knapa kau tak bikin pabrik aja di indonesia?? haduhhh parah banget ,, kalo bisa bikin pasti pabrikan jepun kocar-kacir lari tunggang langgang,, wkwkkwk kebingungan ama si BAJAJ,,wkwkwk seru kayaknya loh,,,
oya kalian penasaran nggak sih ama si P200NS?? monggo komentarnya (otoMan)

TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS Rilis Minggu Depan?

sahabat otoman
memang hari penuh kejutanhihih,,, tadi pagi berita tentangsi KTM Duke 200 yang akan rilis,, minggu depan ehhh kali ini datang lagi tepatnya dari si TVS .. wehhh,,, mau tempur apa mas broo hihih.
Setelah beberapa waktu lalu mengirim teaser dengan judul ” Next Hero is Coming”, titik terang mulai terlihat. Kendati semua sudah bisa menebak bahwa produk yang dimaksud adalah TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS. info di warung IWB menggelontorkan 2 opini , yaitu :

pertama Apache RTR 180 ABS akan dirilis pada bulan Juni 2012 tepatnya minggu depan soal hari dan tangggal otoMan nggak mengantongi info nih ,, maaf ya,,,
kedua bandrol yang di gantungkan ke TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS ini akan di usahakan di bawah 20 juta,, uuwaaawww,, ABS >20 juta*jlepppbunuhdiri

ABS (Anti Lock Brake system ) sendiri merupakan teknologi braking yang mampu mencegah rem ngunci ketika terjadi panic braking. Selain itu dengan sensor yang dipasang…ABS juga bisa meminimize ban lost contact kala braking diatas dilintasan licin ataupun berpasir.ABS yang dibenamkan bukan kualitas abal-abal. Terbukti mereka juga memasang sensor khusus untuk menambah keamanan yang disebut RLP singkatan dari Wheel Lift-off Protection. Fitur ini mencegah ban belakang ngangkat jika terjadi panic braking.

speedometer digital yang informatif mencakup bensin, trip meter, tachometer, low fuel & oil indicator, pengingat jadwal service plus sensor aki. soal mesin ga sah di tanya,, orang iklanya aja menampilkan kecepatan jelas mesinya Apache RTR 180 ABS mampu menghasilkan tenaga hingga 17,3HP dan torque 15,5NM.
gimna 20 juta dapet motor keren, mesin yahud n full digital,, jos gandos pokoknya,,, mongggo komentarnya (otoMan)

Harga Pulsar 200NS di indonesia

sahabat otoman,,
akhirnya si rajiv,,, empunya BAJAJ di india sudah fix dan sudah di konfirmasi bahwa harga si Pulsar 200NS keluar dengan bandrol yang tak terlampau jauh dari sodara se darahnya yaitu P220 DTS-i hanya terlampau 5 rupe saja. harga pasnya yaitu 85.000 rupe. waduh deket banget yah,, berbeda dengan si sodara tiri P200NS yaitu si Duke 200 yang di jual di kelas premium weleh.. weleh... mantapp dahhh...

kalau di hitung-hitung menggunakan suatu rumus,, bang haji udah menghitungnya tuh,, hihihi kalau ane sih makmum aja,, abis nggak tau cara ngitungnya hahahha... kira-kira berapa yah kalau di jual di indonesia,,,???
hasil perhitungan yang menggunakan rumus perbandingan linier yaitu 19,76 juta.. weh 20 juta kurang sodara sodara sekalian,,, hahhaha kalo beneran cuma 20 juta bagaimana nasib motor-motor jepun,, keliatanya kocar-kacir kebingungan n pusing putar otak,, hahhah *piss,,,,

bayangin P200NS dengan spesifikasi  model sasis twinspar, monoshok, mesin 199,5 cc 4 klep SOHC berpendingin cairan dnegan teknologi karburator, 3 busi. Mesin Pulsar 200NS diklaim bisa menghasilkan power on crank 23,52 PS pada 9500 rpm dan torsi badak 18,3 Nm pada 8.000 rpm. Melihat karakter ini, Pulsar 200NS manteb untuk turing karena nafasnya terlihat cukup panjang. Dibeberapa media India motor ini telah ditest dan bisa melaju dengan kecepatan 140 km/jam dengan akselerasi 0-100km/jam kurang dari 10 detik .. beuuhhhh di jamin para kompetitornya SAKAU n GALAU hahahah,,, tapi BAI sempat menegluarkan opini bahwa P200NS akan di bandrol 20-22 juta,, tpi menurut otoMan harga segitu emang layak,, dengan semua keunggulan P200NS ,, monggo komentarnya (otoMan)

Black Bear Now

Here's how Black Bear sits today. It's had various dodads added since the time Joe owned it. It really just needs some TLC and tweeks to get back on the road. Needs some of those dodads removed too.

Could use a better fitting seat.


That tank panel has to go!
