The history of the creation of a motorcycle

The year of the appearance of the first motorcycle can be considered 1885-th, when some Gottlieb Daimler he lived in Germany, built a car for the ride, representing a Bicycle with a wooden frame and transfer with the belt, it was installed 1-cylinder petrol engine of cubic capacity of 264 cubic cm and developed the capacity of 0.5 HP that allowed to reach speed of 12 km/h.
In England the emergence of a two-wheeled miracle connected with the name of er. Butler in 1887, in France - f. Millet, and in Italy - e. Bernardi in 1893. The invention of the same motorcycle awakened in man the constant desire to setting speed records. Since then, especially the honorable achievement is the establishment of an Absolute maximum Speed (ARS), in which is recorded the largest developed speed.
(ARS) - When determining the Absolute Record-breaking Speed of the motorcycle races, in turn, share on remote basis of:
- from 1898. - adoption of the minimum distance for the establishment of ARS - 1 km.
- 1909. - Establishment of ARS happened at large distances. Race of this type was conducted to establish the TIME of the RECORD.
The end of the 90-ies of the past century is considered the beginning of the era of the conquest of absolute record among the motorcycles, which continues to this day. And then we will introduce you with the evolution of the establishment of ARS for motorcycles with 1898-1962 gg. Conditionally the era of ARS can be divided into periods:
Race on a distance of 1 km.
The first period (1898-1902).
A special feature of the first period of follow-up was the fact that the establishment of the ARS was conducted only in three cycles. Trike - three-wheeled racing bike, specially built for record-breaking runs. On tricycles installed huge in size motors, mainly 2-cylinder, with a capacity of approximately 4 liters. Under such assumption of tricycles were divided into classes not on the working volume of the engine, and the mass. - The first ARS were the French racers, thanks to which the absolute speed record has increased from 49 to 100 km/h.
- They played the three cycles of such French companies as: De Dion-Bouton (De Dion-Bouton), Buchet (Bush).
- For the first time abroad speed of 100 km/h was taken by the French racer Well. Osmon in 1901, in Asher on the trike firm "De Dion-Bouton", with the engine capacity of 6 kW.
- In the same, 1901 In. Ригаль on a Buchet in Asher developed speed 108,4 km/h.
The second period (1903 - 1929).
Since the beginning of the second period to replace the trikes came two-wheeled motorcycles. on July 8, 1904, in the Czech city of Пакове a group of enthusiasts of Motorsport from several countries was founded by the international Federation of motorcycle clubs-FICM, the predecessor of the current FIM. Its creation was dictated by the fact that by the time defined the specificity of competition and established clear terminology, between motorcycles and cars. Previously approved by the classification of motorcycles by weight in 1910, has been replaced with the classification on the working volume of the engine, the limit of the figure amounted to 1000 cm3.
Since 1922, the runs were performed in two directions.
- With 1910-1929 g. On racing motorcycles were 2-cylinder, V-shaped engines, with a capacity of 1000 cm3. Drive motorcycles had an exceptionally friction clutch.
- High-speed indicators ARS second period increased from 110 to 207,53 km/h and installed on motorcycles such firms: "Brough Superior" (England), Indian (Indian, USA), H. D. (USA):
In 1911, J. de on a motorcycle Indian in Бруклендсе developed speed 142,83 km/h.
- The first 100-mile mark (161 km/h) on the road Fresno (California) overcame D.KH. Davidson in 1921 on a motorcycle H. D. with the working volume of the engine of 1000 cm3.
- Herbert Le Вакк on a motorcycle "Brough Superior" has increased a record speed in 1929 to 207,53 km/h. He, by the way, is the sevenfold champion of the ARS, which in the period from 1920 to 1929, increased by a record speed of 153 km/h to 207,53 km/h.
The third period (1929 and 1937.)
In the third period to replace motorcycles with belt transmission came motorcycles with the driveshaft. But the motorcycles with 2-cylinder V-shaped engine, appeared model 2-cylinder engines. Engines of both types were equipped with a compressor pack blower. The leading position in this period was occupied by the British and the Germans, who were on a "Brough Superior" and BMW.

Ernst hennea on the freeway, Frankfurt - Darmstadt hits a new world record of speed on the 108-strong compress motorcycle BMW capacity of 500 cubic cm. The result is simply stunning: developing speed 279,5 km/h, Ernst hennea becomes the fastest among motorcyclists of the planet. The world record, delivered November 28, 1937, lasted for 14 years.
The fourth period (1951-1962 gg.)
Record motorcycles this period had a cigar-shaped, 2-cylinder engines were charged with and without it. As fuel served as a mixture of methanol with nitromethane. Working volume of the engine ranged from 500 to 1000 cm3. Motorcycles-most of this period: "NSU" and "TRIUMPH".
- The second world war for a long time delayed the development of the ARS. After a time, only in 1951, driver V. Herz in Munich was established a new absolute record - 290 km/h on a motorcycle NSU with a two-cylinder compressor engine capacity of 500 cm3.
- In 1956, the riders of the West-German company "NSU" set speed records in a natural track (dried-up salt lake salt lake - USA). As a result, in. She set another record an absolute record - 339 km/h on a sample of the previous record motorcycle NSU, 500 cm3. The race was held at the distance of 1 mile.
"The next record of speed on the highway salt lake was officially registered in 1962 on a racing motorcycle Triumph 667 cm3 V. Johnson  - 361,41 km/h.
As you can see, high speed output absolute records in 1962, has passed for a mark of 350 km/h, and the conquest of ARS continued

Fuel consumption CB600F just as well, as far as effective line of its style.

Impressive is the fact that since the first launch in 1998, in the course of operation were able to identify only two possibilities for further development of this model. In the year 2000. Honda has established an enlarged 17-inch front wheel, and in 2003. - increased the size of the fuel tank up to 17 litres. These innovations are added motorcycle universality.

The above-mentioned changes were only made in the design of the CB600F for the first nine years of its production, but in 2007. Honda decided that a lot of fans motorcycle deserve to an absolutely new model. 'll ski 07YM CB600F completely transformed. Filled with the latest developments of Honda in the field of technology, security and environmental protection, the new model of the bike stands out among the "stripped" motorcycles with an average engine capacity. The result is the sharp, sports and is a very attractive model once again confirmed the popularity of Hornet'and in the midst of a large and loyal consumer audience throughout Europe. In addition, this model has set new standards in power for motorcycles in this growing class.

Description of the model VFR1200F

VFR1200F was created in the traditions of their predecessors series VFR, connecting the possibilities of sports motorcycles on the basis of the newest technologies. However, this bike is entirely new: a flawless interpretation of the last road and racing cars, concept, based on the incarnation of the desires of the customers and the introduction of advanced technologies.

In pursuit of the best characteristics of controllability and reactions, in VFR1200F managed to introduce the latest technology in the field of racing motorcycles, but failed to create a universal machine for most drivers.

Harmonious sound, published by susceptible and sensitive V-shaped 4-cylinder engine, can re-trigger the emotions induced by previous legendary series models VFR, but the feeling of the unique "heartbeat" and unsurpassed ease of control allocates a new VFR not only among its predecessors, but also among the other available today bikes.
The concept of development

On the motorcycle worked as a truly international team of designers, including three representatives from Japan, one from America and one in Europe. Under the leadership of very experienced Kshi-Sana (CBR1100XX Blackbird) and under the strict supervision of Hasegawa-Sana, design team VFR1200F differed not only in culture, but also to unite the generations. The collective goal, which they followed, was the creation of a sports bike with characteristics much опередившими his time. To form a correct way of thinking, designers presented, as if they woke up fine morning and impulsively decided to drive 300 miles without voltage overcoming large portions of the highway, and then passing the winding roads of the canyons, stopped to enjoy lunch in a beautiful area before returning home.
Developers VFR1200F began to outline their ideas in a remote hotel in Rome. These sketches bought a lot of forms and opened all possibilities, but instead, to work out the outline and shape the final design, the team went back to Tokyo with his individual drawings.

In the process of creating VFR1200F designers and engineers worked in parallel, discussing and improving their decisions and implementing them in the clay models of the future of the motorcycle. European designer Teofilo Plaza (Teofilo Plaza) called these six months the work of one of the most intense and fruitful periods of his life. After the coordination of the basic design would be a month of testing and development is the period of continuation of synchronous work of designers and engineers.

The first conceptual model with a V-shaped 4-cylinder engine was solemnly presented to a stunned audience at the show Intermot in October 2008. Intended for display at the show was a story with a radical style managed to perfectly display freedom of thought, which followed the team of designers from the first day of this revolutionary project.
Now, a year later, VFR1200F ready to launch and let his V-shaped 4-cylinder engine seems trivial legacy of the past, the reality is that the machine far surpassed his predecessors.

Description of the model VFR1
