you. We are at the EICMA to take a look at the top upcoming Superbikes of 2016. The bike

we are currently looking at however this is the Suzuki's MotoGP bike, the RR-GSX.

After Yamaha its Suzuki's turn to be inspired from their MotoGP machine and turn

it into a road legal production motorcycle. In Suzuki's own words, "the king

of sports bikes' is back!" The liter class bike brings groundbreaking

technology with its VVT or Variable Valve Timing. It broadens the powerband.

When you're thinking sports bike, it's mostly peeky power high up the rev

range and impractical in everyday use. With the GSXR 1000 concept, Suzuki tries

to redefine all that with this VVT technology. The bike shifts towards

Harley like torque at bottom revs, then progressively changes to sport bike

timing at peak revs. Best of both worlds, they say. The compromise between high

peak power or more filling mid-range has finally been broken by this motorcycle.

As this is officially a concept, Suzuki, has not yet released the details specs. The complete

suite of electronics is however provided. We have ride by wire and a 10 level

traction control system which is adjustable while riding. 3 selectable

modes of engine power delivery which is also known as the SDMS (Suzuki Drive Mode Selector). You have

electronic ABS. We have lunch control and a quickshifter to system for both up and

down shifts. The downshifting is being implemented using on auto blipper. We're

not expecting this motorcycle until the end of 2016 but when it comes it will

be a game-changer, that is why I decided to start with the Gixxer. After a slice

of the near future,

let's look at the bikes that you would be able to buy right across the counter

from the early months of 2016. Not exactly a superbike in the

exact sense of the term but it's too big to be called a super-sports this is the

Dukati 959 Panigale. The outgoing 899 which this motorcycle

replaces, wasn't a slow bike by any standards but it required a lot of revs

to build up to peak power and it was getting beaten by its competitors so

Ducati engineers beefed up the bottom end and mid-range by increasing stroke length

which resulted in a 57 cc overall increase, the new motorcycle produces a

157 BHP with 80 pound-ft torque at the crank.

Thing I like about Ducati, is even in its Supersport equivalent you're going to

get the full electronics package. So you're getting the 8 way traction

control which is adjustable and you have a three-way engine braking control as

well with the multi-mode ABS. The chassis and engine are the same as before but

the body panels get a few aesthetic tweaks highlighted by a wider front snout with

bigger air intake scoops a reworked tail section and an all new exhaust. The bike

also gets a new engine mapping. Let me know in the comments section below,

whether you like this all the exhaust or whether you like the exhaust on the

previous 899 Panigale. moving on to the third bike it's the Yamaha MT-10.

Liter class naked bikes from japan is nothing new but I'm excited about this

bike because it gets all the electronic package and meets the BMW S1000R and

the (Aprilia) Tuono V4 head on. this will be at the top of the food chain on the MT/ FZ

series of motorcycles. This is essentially a 2015 Yamaha YZF-R1

stripped down to a naked bike. Yamaha gets passively aggressively with the design.

There is a deliberate attempt to redefine the brand's styling cues from the

past year and looking really good with this completely new shaped headlight and

well proportioned geometric body panels, on the MT-10. Yamaha's trademark 998 cc

crossplane crankshaft inline-4 engine is there and the power figures

have not come in yet. I'm expecting around a 160 bhp at the rear wheel

with a boost to the low and mid-range power.

If you remember the cost effective version of the R1 which was called

the R1S which had the steel rods connecting the engine instead of the titanium parts;

this bike follows the same formula and it also loses the gyroscopes sensors which

are present in the track version of the 2015 R1. Should be interesting to

see the final pricing on this one.

There is no word yet on whether this bike will be released in the USA or Indian

market. We're going to do this in a way, one naked bike and one faired bike, so

moving into the fouth motorcycle on the list, the 2016 Kawasaki ZX10R. I had

ridden the 2015 version of this bike and I absolutely loved it but the 2016

version gets a ton of changes. They're taking all of their research and

development from the World Superbike Series and now it has been implemented into

a production motorcycle. Last year it was Yamaha's turn to change it all up from

MotoGP and this year it's Kawasaki. and for the end user it's really a win-win

situation because you're going to use state of the art technology on an

over-the-counter sport bike. All the motorcycle brands base electronics package

on their vehicle dynamics model. Simply put, it's a mathematical model which is

used to predict the behavior of the motorcycle in space and a just a feeling

in suspension in real time to make them more recycled ready to tackle the

upcoming session in the pre-programmed tracks that are already fed into the

software so this is basically a 5-axis gyro system feeding the information

of this motorcycle into the ECU which makes real-time adjustments into the

motorcycle while it's blazing past a racetrack while taking into account

wheel speed, throttle angle, brake line pressure, engine RPM etc

other major advancements include the balance free fork by Showa which makes its'

debut from the WSBK for the first time on a production motorcycle. It's

supposed to take fraction of seconds

directly off lap times and it would be nice to see how it compares against

the 2015 R1.

Another important thing is that this motorcycle gets a cornering management

system, which is for those of you who like to break within corner or use trail

braking. Now, when you're doing that, the bike tries to stand up making you run

wide. With this motorcycle, the bike tries to maintain the lean angle even

when you're breaking and it makes the cornering a little easier.

Sounds fancy? We'll have to see what it feels like in real life! now let's take a

look at a different sort of a motorcycle which is definitely taking the internet

by storm.

Everybody who loves motorcycles, loves this bike. I've never seen anyone who

doesn't like a Ducati Diavel and with the 2016 X-Diavel, I think we're gonna love

it even more, if that is possible. 2016 version gets a belt final drive.

The forward mounted controls have been punched out further with more relaxed

tracker style handlebars and it gets bigger displacement engine so Ducati's

definitely believing in, there is no replacement for displacement sort of

staff and what is new with the desmodromic variable valve timing

engine is that it has a longer stroke and a higher compression ratio. The

result? The engine delivers the torque at much lower rpm. The previous version

delivered on 96 pound-feet at 8000 rpm but the current version is delivering 95

pound at 5,000 rpm which means that the torque is available right in the low- and

mid-range. This should completely change the feel of the motorcycle and put the

torque to rival some of the dedicated cruisers from Harley Davidson. Styling

also sees major revamp with the air intake scoops disappearing; displaying more

of the beautiful trellis frame. The headlight shroud is also gone. They exhaust

pipes have been rerouted and the new motorcycle has a more minimalist, pure

concept bike type look which hypes its all new LED headlight unit. But why should

you buy it over the other cruisers? Well, you're getting various riding modes

with cruise control there is cornering abs and there is a hands free

communication unit and a TFT dashboard. Basically you're getting an ultra-modern

Cruiser which is extremely futuristic. Before we get

to engrossed into the Ducati world let's get back to the sport bike world from

another European motorcycle maker, Aprilia. In 2016, it's not an all new bike.

the marked difference this year is the improvement of throttle response all

across this 14,200 rev range. Some major changes coming the mapping. The rain map

is gone and now it's replaced by a race map so the 3 modes are sport, track and

race. There's a quick-shifter but the downshift is done by clutch because

there is no auto-blipper. Aprilia was one of the first brands to introduce a full

electronics package into production motorcycle and it gets ABS, traction

control, wheelie control, launch control and now even there is an iOS app which

requires you to connect your iPhone to the motorcycle over wi-fi and then on

pre-programmed circuits around the world you can get real-time turn by turn

adjustment of traction and wheelie control which basically means you can go

into the details and fine tune the motorcycle according to your riding

preferences. After the power saturation brands have realized that they can't just

increase the power of Superbikes every year and now the focus is making that

power more usable and making the motorcycles safer with

electronic aids and at the same time making it faster motorcycle to ride on

track.

Optional electronic aids are becoming standard across all brands and though

some people are against it,

this is definitely going to happen more and more future. For 2016 a new street

model called the KTM Super Duke GT has come out. Now this is a very exciting

motorcycle because it's based on the award-winning 1290 Super Duke R. The

Gt is a more touring oriented bike with a half fairing, a slightly large passenger

seat and saddlebags as standard. This sounds like a simple upgrade and to an

experienced motorcycle manufacturer like KTM it really is.

Now, they have included reshaped combustion chambers that optimizes chain swirl.

Intake ports that smooth throttle response at low rpm and the new connecting rods

with improved bearings.

This is just a small changes to the bike and the clutch has been hardened to 10% to

allow extended high-speed running we get a new modular due to low and mid-range

while still meeting the noise standards like the Super Dugard the GED boasts of

all the latest rider aids among which the main is motorcycle stability control

developed by Bosch. This incorporates cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control

and rear wheel mitigation, hill hold assist and a few other things into one

single package and also all the other standard electronics is there.

Basically a more practical Super Duke. they've taken the Super Duke and made it

more comfortable so this is for the crazy guys would like to take

such a motorcycle to tour and with that motorcycle we conclude the video today
