Saturday Afternoon Moto News - Tech 3 Yamaha & Vulcan 900 Custom SE

The 2010 Yamaha YZR-M1 MotoGP is much better than it was expected to be. With the new six engine limit in the series, many thought that the bikes would lose some performance. However, based on the testing in Malaysia, it looks like that was all wrong. In fact, Colin Edwards is very happy with the power from the M1 - they believe that the 2010 engine is superior to the 2009 engine that started the season. It could be that the new rules just make the prototype motorcycles better!


From the green manufacturer, Kawasaki, comes the 2010 Vulcan 900 Custom SE. While not the largest cruiser-type motorcycle on the planet, it certainly behaves like it does not care. The engine is lively, the frame rigid, and the suspension is top-notch for this price range. This Japanese V-twin will put to shame many larger 'American-made' bikes in the same category. It is worth looking into and even taking a ride.
