2009 Benelli Due 756 spied

The upcoming 2009 Benelli Due 756 spied! First appeared in 2006, and after winning a prize for its design in 2007, motociclism.es finally spied the 2009 Benelli Due 756. The bike should be ready for debut by next autumn.

Production of the twin cylinder Due 756 at 100 hp could start straight away, or in 2010. It should compete in the medium ranks of the naked sector, with bikes such as the Honda Hornet or Kawasaki Z750. While the power is definitely competitive, we expect the price should be as well.

2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF

Ari Henning from motorcyclistonline.com recently rode the 2009 Kawasaki KLX250SF.
Here is what he has to say about the bike:

-"At $5299 the KLX250SF isn't cheap, but that's not a bad price for a bike that's more fun that a ZX-10R-on the street anyway"



-"Specifically tuned to deliver maximum on-road fun."

-"gear-driven counterbalancer does a commendable job of stifling vibrations. With 10,500 revs available on the cool, blue-backlit, bar-graph tach, the little 250 can sprint up to 90 mph"

2009 Yamaha FZ6R ridden

"It seems to me that Yamaha's marketing mavens have indeed found a tasty segment among the various categories, and the company's engineers, in turn, have achieved a good balance between simple function and sophisticated technology. Now all they need are buyers who want to ride rather than pose."

This is what Barry Winfield of www.motorcycledaily.com had to say about the new 2009 Yamaha FZ6R for the US market.
Yamaha seems have priced this bike very aggressively. For instance, the other four-cylinder competitor, the Suzuki GSX650F is $810 more expensive as compared to the Yamaha which has a sticker price of only USD7090, or USD6990 for the one with the black tank. We feel this is utter value for money!
