I dunno, ask them. (visit their website perhaps)

Manufacturing companies build a lot of specialized equipment in order to produce their product(s). It must be designed to run at highspeeds, dependability, etc. You would be amazed at some of the machines I have worked on. I am a special equipment technician and some of the machines my fellow co-workers have engineered are totally mind blowing! I have also worked on many machines that I could have hunted the designer down and beat him half to death! All in all though, the job is very rewarding and the pay aint to bad either! I wish I would have followed my friends advice though. He and I started work together in the same field. The only difference was I stuck it out helping design, debug, and maintain such equipment for someone else. He got out after he learned the trade and started a small pick and place company and at the ripe old age of 40 ended up retired, in Florida, and pursues his motorhead hobby by building racing machines. The guy sits on millions!

If you are talking sport bikes, it would probably still be the suzuki hayabusa 1300R. Unfortunately most of the nuts that own these monsters don't feel that they are fast enough, so they turbo charge them... The results... 8 second 1/4 mile times at over 160 MPH. Its pretty sick to watch.

Honda's hat trick at engine 'Oscars' \n\nTuesday May 21 2002 \n\nHonda has scooped multiple International Engine of the Year Awards for its hybrid and S2000 engines. \n\nHonda has scooped multiple International Engine of the Year Awards for its hybrid and S2000 engines.\nThe hybrid Insight engine claimed its engine "Oscar" for the third consecutive year at the awards ceremony, in Stuttgart, Germany. It won the Sub-1.0-litre category.\n\nHondas newest hybrid engine – the Civic Hybrid 1.3-litre VTEC engine with Insight-style IMA (Integrated Motor Assist) – won the 1.0-litre to 1.4-litre category ahead of five competing diesel units.\n\nHonda hybrid engines also topped the Best Fuel Economy category with the Insight petrol/electric powertrain in first place and the Civic Hybrid runner-up.\n\nThe S2000s 176kW 2.0-litre engine was also voted the best in the 1.8 to 2.0-litre category for the third year running, this year ahead of second-placed BMW's 2.0-litre Valvetronic.advertisement

Daniel H has set out the case brilliantly for the true revival in bikes for people (instead of the recent trend in making us humans conform to the high techery in the bikes).\n\nBut bikes are back because of the rising oil prices, combined at last, with the realisation that we can't keep putting all that carbon monoxide into the air just to go to the paper shop. \n\nBikes are back because people are learning they offer the all-round best exercise workout, they're fun, they're companionable and they let you see bits of the World you miss by car (and even on foot).\n\nBikes are back because the quality and sheer variety of modern bikes is extraordinary. They need hardly any maintenance, they don't rust anymore, they're not messy and they're easy to live with.\n\nLike Daniel I am really pleased to see the re-emergence of gear hubs - the new geration models are fantastic (my wife has a city bike fitted with a Shimano Nexus - its excellent).\n\nBUT - you asked is the sport of cycling dying. In short No. Sadly though, the old days of club racing seem to be over at the Sunday amateur level. Its all about big events and corporate sponsorship. Nevertheless, we're seeing new velodromes being built (that means big investment) and massive sponsorship in the big road racing teams. In Europe cycling is a passion second only to football (quite right too, I may be cycling mad, but football is close to God). \n\nCycle sport is not dying ... its changing.

this is definetely a great site and the x-18 is the BEST pocket bike there is because it offers a honda based 4 stroke upgradeable engine...yes, there is a whole world of aftermarket upgrades for this bike and any other..i wouldntget the interceptor....sadly, all those fun looking little japanese and chinese made pocket bikes arent good at all....no one realy services them and they break frequently...go-carts are a better investment

Nobody knows right now, but it appears to be either for Toyota with the Red Bull team, the #88 car, or maybe even the #42 car.  \n\nIt is one of those situations that will sit out there as rumors until a deal if finally announced.

I've dealt with two-cycle diesel's before and the above answer is right.  The EPA is forcing two-stoke diesel's out of production because the emissions are horrible on them.  A two-stoke diesel really only develops it's power at high rpm's so it's best used in an application where you're running hydraulics or something that needs a constant RPM.  Think about 2 stroke motorcycle engines.  They run a higher rpm's than typical car engines.\n\nThe machines I ran had a two stroke diesel with both a supercharger and a turbocharger and in a 8-12 hour workday depending on how much they were used they would run through the better part of 50 gallons of diesel and these were only 4 cylinder diesels (rather large 4 cylinder diesels though).\n\nActually Volkswagon still produces a few models that have an optional diesel engine, but it is a 4-stroke engine.  The cars get almost 50 miles per gallon highway.  I know that a VW diesel will probably be the next car i purchase.\n\nAnother pro of diesel engines is that aside from being more efficient (diesel fuel has a higher density than gasoline), is that they have more torque.  I can't explain this one but my guess would be that due to the much higher compression ratios required in a diesel engine to force detonation that the detonation has greater force behind it than compared to a gasoline engine.

They said something about a noreaster, so possibly.  If it's bad, it'll probably be cancelled.  :(

those SRAM are the way to go these days. i had have heard alot of rave about those Sram X.0 carbon derailleurs and its superb shifting action and downshift are just perfect. XTR is just overrated because its has been so long in the market and people dont have much choice. Believer of SRAM. Cheers

No, it's not cancelled. The DV2007 has ended.

They are sick. Honestly they run smooth and fast. I got a chance last week to spend a 40 hour work week just toying and tweaking them at an apple training class and as much as i am not a fan of intel they are amazing. i wish i could afford one right now but its just not in my budget having just got a new bike. As much as i never buy the first edition of anything i want to buy this

Harley's success is largely driven by emotion.  As such, their primary following audience continues to age, with really no demographic segment moving in to replace them.\n\nWhat Harley-Davidson will need to do is reinvent itself to cater to a new generation.  Their partnership with Buell may be a potential opportunity, however they are up against stiff competition from foreign bikes.\n\nIf they choose to do nothing, their core market will be either dead or too frail to ride within the next 20 years or so.

go to the honda website or ask the manufacturers. They should help.

Don't bother!!!  If you want to run with the big dogs ditch the econo box (honda) and get a real sports car.  You'll spend a lot more money trying to get that honda up to the level of performance you want. Just get a V-8 and be happy.

Well you can do something like a nitrous kit thats quick and easy, very cost effective. You can unlock that much with bolt ons too. Headers, full exhaust, cold air intake, plugs, wires, msd ignition box along with their new cap and rotor. Then get it tuned which is very under rated, you can unlock a lot of power through proper tuning. I dont mean hypercrap or supertrash chips but send you ecu to someone and get it tuned to your individual application and it even costs less to do it that way.
