BMW R27 Motorcycle wallpaper – latest white superbike and motorcycle background

Based largely on the R26, in 1960 the R27 added rubber mounts for the engine and boosted power to 18 hp (13 kW). The 250 cc OHV vertical single was the only rubber-mounted dumper engin BMW ever produced, and was their last shaft drive single-cylinder motorcycle. The engine pumped out 18 hp (13 kW), the highest ever for a shaft-drive BMW single. BMW manufactured 15,364 R27 models (engine numbers 372 001 ? 387 566 ) over the production years of 1960 to 1966. Some of the 1966 R27 models were sold as 1967 models because dealers in those years often would assign dates to BMW motorcycles when they sold them, and not necessarily when they were manufactured.

BMW did things differently from other manufacturers. This is evident in the R27. Its enclosed shaft final drive is rare for a single cylinder motorcycle. But it also had a triangulated Earles front fork (named after English designer Ernest Earles); so the motorcycle had a front swingarm as well as a rear swingarm. When you squeezed the front brake lever hard not only did the front end not dive, it actually rose slightly. Thus, braking was a very steady activity, though the brakes were weak by today’s standards. The engine’s crankshaft was laid out fore-and-aft rather than side-to-side; also a rare feature. This way, the crank and the final shaft were in line, and drive forces did not have to be run through a set of 90-degree gears. Also, the kick starter swung out sideways instead of parallel to the frame buell wallpaper, motorcycle, suzuki gsxr wallpaper, Motorcycle wallpapers, ducati superbike

(Motorcycle)Honda CBR1000F Motorcycle
The CBR’s engine went largely unchanged throughout its history. It uses the standard Honda inline four-cylinder 998 cc, four-stroke, DOHC, 16-valve, liquid-cooled power plant running four 38 mm CV carburetors and has a bore and stroke of 77 mm ? 53.6 mm (3.03 in ? 2.11 in). It produces 135 bhp (101 kW) at 8600 rpm and 69.4 ft?lb (94.1 N?m) (rear wheel) of torque at 6500 rpm.

It had a 0 to 1/4 mi (0.00 to 0.40 km) acceleration of 11.19 seconds at 121.24 mph (195.12 km/h). The fuel tank holds 22 litres (4.8 imp gal; 5.8 US gal) Motorcycle wallpapers#ApriliaSuperbike #ApriliaMotorcycles #KtmMotorcycles #Buell #MotorbikeWallpaper

(Motorcycle)Honda VTX Series Motorcycle
The Honda VTX series is a line of V-twin Honda cruiser motorcycles inspired by the Zodiac concept shown at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show. The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model. At the time this bike was introduced the Honda VTX engine was the largest displacement production V-twin in the world, but that distinction would be short-lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2.0-liter Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. Nevertheless, the VTX 1800 still produced better 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times.

VTX stands for V-Twin Extreme. The VTX1300 line was introduced for the 2003 model year, which evolved into the VT1300C line starting with the 2010 model year
