New bikes unveiled at Intermot 2014 - Updated

Triumph Bonneville

Triumph has unveiled three special edition Bonneville motorcycles at Intermot – the Spirit, Newchurch and T214 Land Speed Edition. The Newchurch edition pays homage to the Triumph party that takes place each year in Neukirchen, Austria.

The T214 is dedicated to Johnny Allen, a racer, and his Triumph Cee-Gar, which in 1956 set many land speed records at the salt flats of Bonneville recording a top speed of 214kph, hence the name. All three new Bonnevilles run equipped with the same four-stroke, 865cc, V-twin engines, but borrow their rear mudguards from the Triumph Thruxton.

Honda VFR800X Crossrunner

Honda has just unveiled a new version of the VFR800X Crossrunner, equipped with a four-stroke, 782cc, V4 configuration engine producing a higher 105bhp of power. The new Crossrunner showcases features such as LED lights, heated grips and ABS brakes and is also equipped with a system that reduces power to the rear wheel if it loses traction, giving the rider better chance to regain total control of the bike once again.

Suzuki GSX-R1000 ABS

Suzuki’s new GSX-R1000 comes with a much needed ABS system fitted as standard, although the engine remains the same four-stroke, 999cc, in-line four cylinder engine producing 182bhp of max power. The new GSX-R1000 ABS, however, enjoys a fresh blue paint scheme.

Suzuki Bandit 1250S

The new Bandit 1250S also adds on ABS brakes as standard, apart from a revised bikini fairing and restyled headlamps. The good value-for-money Bandit 1250S will continue to use the same four-stroke, 1255cc, in-line four cylinder power plant, which produces 97bhp of maximum power.

Suzuki Inazuma 250 F

Suzuki’s comfortable quarter-litre commuter bike, the Inazuma, now gains a fairing. It continues to offer a four-stroke, 248cc, in-line twin cylinder engine producing 24bhp of power. Turn indicators are mounted on the front fairing now, and it is possible the new Inazuma may make it to Indian shores as well, in the months to come
