Several new models now grace the showrooms of TeamMoto with new Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda's in-store now. Introducing the brand new Yamaha FZ8 and FZ8S which fits between the entry level XJ6 series and big bore FZ1s. The FZ8
is a pure expression of performance and quality craftsmanship desinged
for riders who appreciate an optimum blend of power, weight and size. Then we have the new retro styled Honda VT750S which emerges from the Shadow series of cruisers. And there are two new options for the LAMS riders out there... the Kawasaki Versys 650L ABS which delivers on so many levels and the Yamaha XJ6SL which is the semi-faired sister bike of the FZ6R LAMS model introduced earlier this year.
Yamaha FZ-8
The brand new FZ8-series is based on the idea of a high-performance all-rounder
with the power and character to make every ride an exhilarating sports
ride. These dynamic new sports machines are built on a new 779cc engine and
all-aluminium frame. The engine offers a balance of middleweight
accessibility with big-bore power and instant grunt throughout the rev
range. FZ8 steers fast and effortlessly, and handles with surefooted
confidence - whether it’s cranked right over on a tight, smooth corner
or slicing its way through traffic on a congested commute.
With the semi-faired FZ8S, the emphasis is placed firmly on getting out
there and enjoying the roads, whatever the weather. Discover sportsbike
performance and handling, with the aerodynamics, wind and weather
protection of a front cowl and screen.
Following the introduction of the fully faired FZ6R, Yamaha Motor Australia is pleased to announce a sister bike to further expand Yamaha’s learner approved lineup… the half faired XJ6SL. Similar to the FZ6R, the XJ6SL is powered by an inline four cylinder
600cc engine and sports a sporty half fairing and neat midship muffler.
The seamless power delivery combined with compact dimensions, light
weight and neutral steering make the XJ6SL an ideal entry level
machine.
It is available in Lava Red or Midnight Black colour schemes. The lightweight, slim and compact new chassis features a low seat height, making the XJ6SL an ideal machine for both new and experienced riders of all ages who want a stylish middleweight that can handle just about any situation.
Designed to offer high levels of response, the easily controlled XJ6SL is a bike that everyone will want to ride… an all level machine ready to step up from entry level when you are. And the contemporary design of the new chassis and bodywork underlines its position as a capable and attractive package.

Honda VT750S
Honda’s newest offshoot of the top selling Shadow Cruiser has rolled into town. This machine makes an immediate impact with its clean, classic simplicity, offering the same six-valve liquidcooled twin-cylinder engine as the VT750C, whilst offering a more casual yet classic roadster look.
A low 750mm seat coupled with flat handlebars and a slim 10 litre fuel tank deliver a comfortable, relaxed riding position, whilst the bike’s powerhouse offers ultra smooth, strong bottom-end acceleration thanks to its fuel injection.
The look is one of a classic naked street motorcycle from the 1960s and
1970s. The upright riding position, chrome finished headlight, twin
exhausts, wire-spoked wheels and teardrop tank all hint to a bygone age
of motorcycling, but now brought right up to date and all with the
reassurance of Honda reliability, performance and build-quality.
The Learner legal Versys 650L ABS refuses to be restricted to any one
classification. Why? … Because it’s great at so many things! Long
travel suspension for outstanding around-town manoeuvrability, highly
comfortable riding position for long-distance comfort, sharp handling
with excellent road holding, smooth power delivery with high levels of
usability – the Versys 650L ABS really delivers on so many levels.
The ideal motorcycle for commuting around town through the week and
covering large distances on the weekend, the Versys 650L ABS is a
highly talented performer indeed. The Versys’ upright seating position provides high levels of rider
comfort combined with superb control over the motorcycle for
around-town handling and manoeuvring. ABS comes standard to prevent wheel lock up during heavy braking and thanks to 17inch sports bike inspired wheels and rubber, the Versys
delivers highly responsive handling with outstanding road holding and
stability.
For more information, please click here to contact your local TeamMoto Kawasaki dealership!
The Yamaha FZ-8, Honda VT750S and Kawasaki Versys are all in-store now at TeamMoto! We are still waiting on the new LAMS Yamaha XJ6SL, however the full-fairing sister model (FZ6R) is available so be sure to contact your local TeamMoto dealership for more information.
Women on Wheels Spotlight: Dirty Girl!
By Rosie Lalonde
An hour and a half into the two-hour cross country, in the middle of a three-foot deep rut my KTM250EXC-F jerked to an unsteady halt and I signed with relief - I was finally permitting myself to rest. As I shook some feeling back into my arms and took in my surroundings a few things surprised me. 1. I could see my breath. Clearly. Plumes of mist were emerging from my helmet as I panted.
2. The gusts of wind were blowing rain at a horizontal angle straight into my eyes, which was quite annoying and made the mud covering my face to feel even more strange. And 3- It must have been barely 3 degrees, I was absolutely saturated from the steadily falling rain and barely recognizable under all the mud, sitting atop a hill in the middle of a barren field with nothing in sight.
I started to shiver from the cold. What the hell am I doing? I thought to myself while making more misty plumes with my breath. It took me a few seconds, or more likely minutes, as my brain began to unthaw and register what I was feeling… I think I'm supposed to be having fun... I paused for a few more seconds. It seemed to rain harder. And out in that field, all alone and colder than I had been since ice-racing in Canada, I slowly started to smile. Racing enduro, that’s what I'm doing! I shook my head, started my bike (with the electric start of course!) and straightened my front wheel in the rut. I had a race to finish...
This was several weekends ago at rounds 7 & 8 of the Australian Off-Road Championships in Wedderburn, Victoria. I finished the race and ended up 5th (out of 8!) in the Championship Womens Class, so I as stoked. As you can see from the picture above (that's me on the far right) slow and steady is my racing philosophy!
I have to be honest, there were times in that cross country that thoughts of shopping, shoes, drinking cosmos, lying on the beach, going to a movie… you know, normal girl activities entered my head. But in the end the rewarding satisfaction of completing a two-hour race in those extreme conditions made everything worthwhile.
I have been racing off-road motorcycles for six years. My family has been into motorcycles forever and having their support is a huge advantage (that's me and my Dad pictured left at Rounds 5 & 6 of this years Aussie Off-Road Champs down in Moruya, NSW). I followed in my older sisters footsteps and started racing the New South Wales Sprint series, then moved up to racing the Australian Off-Road Championships and I have even competed in and finished two Australian 4-Day Enduro’s (On a side note ladies, I like racing A4DE's because at the end of them I can always fit into my skinny jeans!).
Women enduro racing has progressed a great deal over the past several years. Not only do we have more than 8 girls at most of the Aussie Off-Road national rounds, but in 2009 Australia sent a 3-Women team to ride for their country at the International Six Days Enduro – where they got on the podium in 3rd no less! Womens Motocross is huge in this country as well, with a full National series and multiple state series for girls, there are a whole lot of female racers out there.
I work full time, have a property to maintain, a dog and my boyfriend Nate to keep happy (Nate does the maintenance on my bike, so I definitely have to keep him happy!) and my weekends are full of family and friends.
But I will always try and find time for my riding. Not only racing, which is a great hobby and keeps me fit, but even just trailriding with Nate, which is a great escape from the real world.
I will never be a world champion or the fastest women in Australia, but getting out on my bike is a thrill that is hard to explain, although I am sure all you motorcyclists out there know what I mean. The independence I feel when I finish a hard race is so rewarding and I have to say I am proud of myself at times like that. So if you’re a girl out there thinking about trying something a little different, challenging yourself and having a whole lot of fun, off-road motorcycle racing is a great way to get dirty!
Mark Hinchliffe reviews the Suzuki "Sword"
By Mark Hinchliffe, Courier Mail Motoring Editor
The Suzuki SFV650 is also called the Gladius, Latin for sword. However,
it sounds more like gladioli which conjures images of Dame Edna
Everage. It doesn't help that the Gladius bodywork looks like a melted
1960s domestic appliance and has a scooter-like stubby exhaust hanging
off the side.
Looks and name aside, it is a quality bike at a bargain price. If
Gladius is a sword, then this is a double-edged one because the Gladius
comes as both a restricted power output LAMS (learner-approved
motorcycle) and in standard trim.
I recently tested the non-LAMS version and immediately fell in love
again with its V-twin engine that has been around for some years. The
engine is not only bulletproof, but has a delicious vibe, a strong
spread of mid-range torque and power, and has the closest feel to a
Ducati's grain as you can get.
The
V-twin's pleasant vibe is not enough to shake the mirrors and, even
with that scooterish exhaust system, it still emits a throaty "Italian"
note. Now in fuel-injected format, the engine is smoother with no
sudden snatch off idle that other more expensive fuel-injected bikes
have.
The 645cc twin has just the right amount of power to make it
manageable in traffic while being strong enough for the Sunday morning
run up the mountain. It only runs out of breath on a track when you
explore the upper limits of its rev range.
Despite some vigorous runs, it still yielded just under 5L/100km.
Matched
to its versatile engine is a light and tight frame with a 1445mm
wheelbase that makes it highly manoeuvrable in traffic and a succession
of hairpins. You have only to think about turning and it does. Look where you want to go and it follows.
Equally it feels planted and stable on the highways and in sweepers, thanks to improved suspension. Front
and rear now have adjustable spring preload. Matching front and rear
can take a bit of trial and error but will yield a well-sorted
suspension.
The brakes are not overly strong but are effective with reasonable feel.
Basically it does no one thing brilliantly in the mechanical department, but does everything well.
My
only mechanical complaint is that the clutch might be considered a
little heavy by some and that it is not adjustable for hand span.
That's a shame given a lot of women may be attracted to its low seat
height, light weight and mild manners.
While the melted plastic look of the bike might be a bit confronting
for some people, others might find the SFV a welcome return to the more
rounded looks of earlier SVs rather than the current angular models.
At least that rounded look is matched by a rounded feel in the cockpit with no sharp edges.
It
moulds nicely to the contours of your body and feels comfortable ... if
only the seat wasn't made out of something as hard as a church pew.
The instruments are basic, but tidy and the analog tacho has a digital inset with a handy gear indicator.
Another digital screen displays a big speed readout, plus smaller
readouts with two trip distance meters, a clock, odo and kilometres
travelled since the fuel light last came on which is convenient given
there is no fuel gauge.
You can toggle through the info displays
via a button on the instrument panel, but that means you have to lean
forward and take one hand off the bars. It wouldn't have cost much to
route a couple of wires to the bars and install a mode button.
But then, this bike is made to a price, and it's a pretty good bike for your money.
KTM350SX-F: Hot blooded and ready to race!
KTM Australia hosted the Queensland KTM Dirt Day at Conondale on July 3rd 2010 and TeamMoto was there to help out on the day and answer any questions customers had about the new bikes. It was also a great chance for us to see the new 2011 SX range and, to our utter joy, throw a leg over the new KTM350SX-F.
Ever since the first pictures were released of the orange-framed Everts replica, the motocross world has been abuzz about KTM’s latest innovation.
All eyes were trained on the opening rounds of the FIM World Motocross
where Antonio Carioli debuted the new 350 to… let’s be honest, great
success.
But factory bikes and racing results only stimulate more speculation as to what the production 350 will actually be like and nothing short of straddling the new beast for yourself can really answer the question.
Our initial thoughts after riding the bike were extremely positive. Light weight, responsive, a hell of a lot of fun with a fast, torquey motor and suspension that left you smiling all the way home - the added linkage has definitely hit the mark!
With electric start and a new handlebar bend that took a few laps to get used to, this machine is a complete recipe for a good time.
Describing this bike as a 250 on steroids is perfectly accurate, as it feels the same as the smaller bike in weight and riding position but has that extra grunt the 250 lacks.
In comparison to the 450, those who can ride the bigger bike fast might not make the change, however those who struggle to hang onto it after a serious moto might love the light weight power the 350 has to offer.
If you’re a big power lover don’t scoff at the 350 just yet – there are endless possibilities to increase performance and in the coming months TeamMoto will be tricking up one of their demo models to see if they can really get this beauty to sing.
Demo, what’s this about a demo? That’s right – TeamMoto will be receiving their KTM350SX-F demo models within in the next week and a half! TeamMoto Virginia and TeamMoto Moorooka will each be receiving one, so now is your chance to call up and book a test ride!
Let’s not forget the little sister SX which has been sorely overshadowed this year. The 2011 KTM250SX-F has had a complete overhaul as well, with new fuel injection, linkage and completely new chassis and frame, this little weapon is set to turn heads as well.
The KTM350SX-F demo models should be arriving in-store within the next week and a half. For more information please contact TeamMoto Virginia on 3259 2900 or TeamMoto Moorooka on 3426 4400.
Body Armour: There was a reason it was invented!
TeamMoto Testing: FOX Titan Sport Jacket.
There is a reason body armour was invented. Incidents with trees, the ground and even other riders can end the day in tears rather than smiles. FOX has created a reliable and trustworthy piece of safety equipment with the Titan Sport Jacket, which can be worn over or under your jersey.
The Titan has an anatomic two-piece plastic chest plate that can withstand strong pressure and hard knocks. The back plastic is removable and the jacket also has high levels of shoulder and elbow coverage.
For a tailored fit to suit any form, the soft mesh fabric is also comfortable to wear and has good ventilation quality, which is extremely important in our warm climate. There is a center zipper for easy use.
The Titan Sport Jacket comes only in the color black but you can choose from five sizes: S, M, L, XL and XXL. RRP $199.95
We gave the Titan Sport Jacket to several of our TeamMoto staff members for some TeamMoto testing…
The armour I tried was a size XL which was probably the incorrect size for myself as I am not a larger person. It felt really comfortable and it did not restrict arm movement at all. It felt safe and protective until I fell off and smashed the left side of my rib on a rock. There is no side protection on the armour which is unfortunate.
The lower back protection seemed really uncomfortable as it keep catching on the back of my pants. I tried it on both the outside of my jersey and inside. On the outside felt the best.
I gave my mate a try of the armour and he was that impressed with it he will be buying one next time he is down at our shop.
- Dave Elliott, TeamMoto Honda Springwood Workshop Manager
Even though the armour wasn’t the right size for me it was still very comfortable and able to be adjusted to fit smaller riders. The design is very stylish and very comfortable.
The forearm padding protected me throughout the whole day on slow and fast crashes, the design also gave me a lot of movement which was also a advantage.
The shoulder padding was soft and gave me allot of protection especially when I crashed against the rock doing 40kmph.
The back protection worked 100%. It allowed me to move forward freely and protected me when I was bent the wrong way. The hard armour locked into place and did wonders for me.
Chest protection saved me from breaking bones on the weekend that’s for sure. Coming off the bike at 50kmph and landing on the handle bars which is quiet common when riding dirt bike I was only winded with a slight red mark on my chest.
The next day after the ride I wasn’t in a lot of pain, couple of bruises under the arm and my back wasn’t sore at all which was a huge surprise for me. So over all it was a life saver for me it gave me more confidence to get back up and ride after each fall. So 10/10 for style and safety.
- Dion Constable, Salesman TeamMoto Virginia (after his first trailride in 10 years!)

Motorcycle Riding School: Peace to all my Sisters!
By John Bacic, Senior Instructor TeamMoto Motorcycle Riding School
Sue-Anne walked towards me with a slow rhythmical gait. She was in no rush, it was her night off. She came down to my bar to drink and relax and have fun because that’s what girls just wanna have.
As she approached the door I may have made some remark about not ripping it of its hinges when she opened it - you see Sue Anne was no dainty little thing, she was a national weight lifter who also worked with me as a bouncer and she was by all respects an intimidating specimen.
I immediately recognised the folly of my comment as she lifted me off the ground and smashed my back into the wall behind me.
She put me back down once she had realised that what I had meant to say was that she looked completely stunning and that the words had just come out all jumbled up.
I was just a young dumb twenty one year old bouncer when that happened
and as I’ve moved through my life, I’ve learnt that women and men not
only fail to find the same things funny they actually communicate very
differently from each other.
So it came as no surprise to me that the
Ladies Only Advanced Course we recently held at Mt Cotton was a very
different affair than usual.
One thing that did surprise me at the advanced course was the level of improvement all our riders experienced throughout the day.
In the morning everyone was quite nervous, I had a number of ladies
discreetly tell me that they were worried about holding everyone up and
scared they were going to drop their bikes and look silly. By the time
lunch had rolled around everyone was riding smoothly and confidently.
We all had a great time on the course, the atmosphere was light and
easy and everyone looked and felt relaxed. I was advised by my co
workers that my usual humour may not be as well received as it was on
past courses.
They were so wrong, all the girls laughed at all my jokes and knowing women as well as I do, I know that women do not laugh at men’s jokes if they’re not funny.
I think the afternoon was the most fun part of the day. We did
alternating 10 min sessions around the Mt Cotton circuit and following
the girls through the corners it was obvious that they had all learnt a
lot.
I’m looking forward to doing our next Ladies Day on Sunday the
24th of October.
I think that from now on my expectations for the ladies days will
remain quite high, I can see that the all ladies dynamics works very
well for my self and the other instructors and it very clearly works
well for the ladies.
I hope to see you out there, until then ride safely and try to avoid making disparaging remarks to large power lifters.
Tech Tips: Fuels and Emissions
This month I’m going to talk about fuels and emissions. Petrol is a hydrocarbon, which consists mainly of hydrogen and carbon atoms. Petrol is very volatile which means it turns to a vapour very easily.
Petrol is rated by its anti knock properties which most of you know as its octane rating.e.g.91,95,and 98,which you see at the petrol bowser. The lower the octane rating, the more volatile the fuel.
Now, your engine compresses the air/fuel mixture during the compression stroke which generates a lot of heat. The more the air/fuel mixture is compressed, the more heat is generated.
If you were to use a petrol with a too low an octane rating, you run the risk of the fuel igniting inside the cylinder before it is supposed to. This is called detonation and is usually heard as a pinging noise when the motor is underload (hard acceleration, or going up a hill). This is the reason why most manufacturers will stipulate a specified octane fuel.
Most modern sports bikes run higher compression ratios, which in turn mean they generate higher combustion temperatures and therefore require the need for a higher octane fuel. Read your owners hand book for the correct fuel for your bike.
Some things you need to know about the gases your motorcycle produces. We introduce nitrogen and oxygen into the motor via the atmosphere and into the airbox and we add liquid hydrocarbons which is the fuel. When these elements are combined and burnt, we get some nasties which aren’t great for our health, or environment.
The result is hydrocarbons, oxides of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. Rich fuel mixtures increase the carbon monoxide levels in the exhaust gas because there isn’t enough oxygen available for complete combustion.
Not enough fuel and too much air creates a lean mixture which can cause loss of power, overheating and engine damage. Oxides of nitrogen are created by high temperatures.
Carbon monoxide is an extremely poisonous gas and can be deadly when running your engine in a confined space because it absorbs the oxygen from the air. Never run your engine in a closed space, as enough CO (carbon monoxide) can be produced in a few minutes to cause death.
Catalytic converters which are fitted to most exhaust systems are designed to covert these deadly gases and therefore should not be tampered with.
A short note on vacuum fuel taps. Some of you will notice that if your bike has carburetors, your fuel tap doesn’t have an OFF setting. This is because your fuel tap requires vacuum from a running engine to allow fuel to flow. The RUN position is for normal running, then when your fuel gets low you switch the tap to RESERVE. This generally gives you 3 to 5 litres before you run out.
Now the PRIME circuit is required when you run out of fuel, because it overrides the shut off valve in the tap and lets the fuel to flow while the engine is turned off. If there was no prime, you run the risk of flattening the battery before the carburetors would fill up enough to run the engine.
So next time if your unlucky enough to run out of fuel and your bike has carburetors, switch the tap over to prime and allow a couple of minutes before you restart your bike. Wish you all trouble free and safe riding.

Some interesting pics - and videos - from the motorcycling community...
British artist Kyle Bean shows in it’s latest creation that matter
cannot be created or destroyed, but only transformed. The two Honda
Fireblades, one complete, one other dismantled in a showcase in
Selfridges, London is part of his Conversation of Mass series.
The two
blades are set up to balance at either end of a set of scales. The
artist Kyle Bean, wanted to use something minimalistic but with
presence, completely out of context, stylish and compact.
The below video goes through the design process...
Triumph has released a teaser video (below) for their upcoming 2011 Adventure bike. It's not much, but it definitely piques the interest!
And this month we finish it off with this great image because, well, it's just a great shot! Makes me want to go riding!
