Beat the Chill
Heading to the Mountains? Be sure to Bundle up.

 Snow In Arizona, October 31st is more than just Halloween, It is the first indication that summer doesn't last all year long and it does get cold (or at least cooler) in the sun-state.

Riding your motorcycle or ATV whenever the weather drops below 50 degrees can be a painful experience (especially with the added windchill) unless you go prepared. Here are a few tips to remember to beat the chill especially if you ride in the mountains or commute early in the morning.

  • Full Face Helmet- Keeping the wind out of your face can make all the difference in the world when it gets cold outside.
  • balaclava- "Ski mask" or "Bank Robber mask" is what the balaclava is typically known for. wearing one of these head socks will help your ears and face from freezing over
  • Motorcycle pants/jacket- The bread and butter of staying warm in the winter. Wind proof gear is a must!
  • Heated gloves- When riding in cooler temperatures your hands will become cold quite quickly unless you have proper gloves. Even high quality insulated winter riding gloves will not keep your hands from becoming cold after a good 1/2 hr on your motorcycle
  • long underwear-Skiers swear by it, and anyone else who spends more than an hour out in below freezing temperatures will tell you - long underwear is essential to keeping warm.
In general, don't leave your skin exposed, keep the wind away, and you will be fine. In fact most of us in Arizona are fine without anything special most of the year!

2012 Kawasaki Product launch
New 2012 product from Kawasaki
Ninja

 650r Kawasaki has reciently unveiled its 2012 product lineup. From the touring Vulcan Voyager, to the middleweight Ninja 650R, to the high end performance ZX-14R, Kawasaki's 2012 motorcycle line-up has seen a few modifications.

2012 Ninja 650

The Ninja 650 fits a niche in the motorcycle world. It is distinctly more powerful than an entry level 250r but more subdued than a 600 or 1000. In a lot of ways, the Ninja 650 is mainly for riders looking to balance performance and comfort.

Here is what's new for 2012:

  • Redesigned twin-pipe perimeter frame offers proper rigidity, stable handling, a low seat height and improved aesthetics
  • Twin-pipe swingarm assembly offers improved rigidity and maximum style
  • Redesigned exhaust system features a new connector pipe, a higher-volume 3-chamber muffler assembly for improved mid-range while maintaining peak top-end power, and a higher quality finish
  • Redesigned bodywork features better aerodynamics, improved engine-heat dissipation and sharper looks that identify with the flagship ZX™-14R
  • Easier-pull clutch cable design for reduced fatigue and enhanced control
  • Revised suspension settings and increased wheel travel front and rear offer improved ride comfort while offering excellent compliance in varying situations
  • Improved brake pads offer better braking performance and control
  • New instrument cluster assembly features an analog tachometer and a digital readout module for at-a-glance information transfer to the rider
  • 20mm wider handlebar offers improved rider comfort and control
  • Redesigned 2-piece seat assembly features thicker and wider foam for improved comfort for rider and passenger
  • Dunlop's grippy but durable Roadsmart II tires are standard
  • Increased fuel capacity and more compact battery
The new Kawasaki Ninja 650 will be available in Metallic Spark Black, Candy Lime Green, Passion Red, for $7,499.

Zx14

2012 ZX-14R

Not to be ignored, the new 2012 ZX-14R has been revealed and with as an even more aggressive larger bike. The “R” suffix is new for ’12, and with good reason. Kawasaki has stretched the stroke from 61mm to 65mm which has raised displacement from 1352cc to 1441cc. The KTRC traction control and ignition management system from the ZX-10R superbike has been adapted to the ZX-14R with three ride modes:Full power, medium power and a third mode for wet or other low-traction situations. The ZX-14R also features a slipper clutch for the first time, to protect the drivetrain and stabilize the chassis when downshifting or braking into corners.

Kawasaki continues to refine and improve a long standing reputation of outstanding street-bikes.
