Honda CB Trigger unveiled

The new CB Trigger is about to become the third 150 cc motorcycle in Honda’s Indian line-up. Aimed at younger riders, it has been designed as a stylish bike for leisure and commuting use.

Power comes from a four-stroke, carburettor-fed, air-cooled engine that’s connected to a five-speed gearbox. With 13.8 bhp (10.3 kW / 14.0 PS) and 12.5 Nm (9.2 lb/ft) of peak torque, Honda is claiming strong performance throughout the rev range plus fuel economy of up to 169.4 mpg (1.7 l/100km / 60.0 km/l).

The specification includes alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, monoshock rear suspension, a fully digital instrument panel, an LED rear light and both electric- and kick-starters.

Three versions are going to be available, but they’re only differentiated by their braking systems. The standard model has a disc brake on the front wheel and a drum on the rear, while the Deluxe has discs front and rear.

The range-topping CBS adds Honda’s Combi Brake System. A first for this market segment, the combined set-up allows the rider to operate both brakes using the foot pedal only. The result is improved deceleration and shorter stopping distances.

Orders for the CB Trigger are being accepted from next month, and buyers will have a choice of Black, Meteor Green Metallic or Pearl Siena Red paint finishes. The first deliveries are then expected to follow in May.

Prices have yet to be announced.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

Image
There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car. The body shell is stripped back to bare metal before it

Kawasaki W800 revealed

19 January 2011 Update: For confirmed Kawasaki W800 pricing, please click here . Kawasaki has unveiled its retro W800 at the Cologne Intermot motorcycle show. There are a few differences between this production-ready version and first image of the W800 , which was released last month. The most obvious is that the limey-green paint has been ditched, replaced by a much more attractive dark green and silver metallic colour scheme. Other changes include the seat unit, which looks a bit plusher but loses its contrast piping around the edge. There are now knee pads on each side of the fuel tank, too, that sit just behind very large chrome ‘W’ emblems. No surprises in the engine department - it’s an air-cooled twin with a capacity of 773 cc, driving through a five-speed gearbox. Unfortunately Kawasaki hasn’t released any power or torque figures yet, but given that its W650 predecessor managed to get 49 bhp (37 kW / 50 PS) from its 675 cc, somewhere approaching 60 bhp (44 kW / 60
