Suzuki Hayabusa B-King


The verdict is still up in the air regarding the futuristic, dynamic looks of the Suzuki B-King. It seems you either hate it or love it. What can be said for sure is the B-King is very fast, enough to match a sports 1000. It’s just a shame it’s restricted to 150mph. The B-King is a lovely road motorcycle, has loads of torque and is easy to ride despite its size. It’s smooth, has good brakes and its only weakness is its soft rear, which results in a lack of traction when pushing really hard.
Ride Quality & Brakes
Despite the Suzuki B-King’s bulk it handles far better than its size suggests. Once on the move the B-King’s weight disappears, you would never guess its actual weight. The brakes are excellent, you only notice the lack of ground clearance on track but the shock is a little on the soft side and it can soon start fighting for grip.

 Engine
The Suzuki B-King’s engine comes from the new Hayabusa and produces 164bhp with an arm-ripping 94.5 ftlb of torque. Over a standing quarter mile the B-King is just as quick as any sports 1000cc, if not quicker. Shame the engine is limited to 150mph as it has the potentially for much more.

Build Quality & Reliability
The old Suzuki Hayabusa was as reliable as the tide coming in, bullet proof and could take a heavy tune, so there’s no reason to question the reliability of the new Suzuki B-King. That said, there’s a very plastic feel about the bike and only time will tell if it stands up to a few harsh winters.

KTM X-Bow R

I t’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. It’s a similar, pared-back two-seater, only this time the X-Bow R brings an uprated version of the Audi 2.0-litre four-cylinder. It’s the turbocharged TFSI engine, boosted to 296bhp and 295lb ft of torque. That’s more than in the donor Audi S3 and TT-S, which produce no more than 268bhp. Thank a larger turbocharger, reprogrammed Bosch engine management and new fuel injectors. And the engine changes are just scratching the surface of a series of upgrades to build this fastest ever KTM with four wheels. So the KTM X-Bow R is quicker than most Ferraris? Yes. Prod the throttle and the R simply flies towards the horizon. Ther...

ADAS-Advanced driver assistance systems works

As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) continue to evolve, the integration of different sensors has become increasingly important. Among these sensors, lidar stands out as a key technology for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of ADAS functions. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of fusing lidar in ADAS functions and its applications. What is Lidar and How Does it Work? Lidar is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create high-resolution 3D images of the environment. In ADAS applications, LiDAR sensors are installed on vehicles to sense their surroundings and collect information about the location, speed, and shape of objects in the environment. Benefits of Fusing Lidar in ADAS Functions Improved Object Detection and Recognition Lidar sensors provide accurate and detailed information about the vehicle's surroundings, making objects more reliable and familiar. Unlike cameras or radars, LIDAR can detect objects even i...
