Chinese Brand Motrac Unveils Design Copy Of Ducati Diavel

Chinese motorcycle brand Motrac Motorcycles has released a new design patent which shows off the firm's future cruiser motorcycle. The motorcycle features a 900 cc, liquid-cooled v-twin engine, making around 65 bhp of power and 75 Nm of peak torque. But what is immediately evident, is the inspiration the design is taking from. Yes, the Motrac v-twin cruiser looks almost like the Ducati Diavel. The silhouette is the same, the proportions look almost identical, when it comes to the fuel tank, seat, and right down to the belly pan and radiator cowl. Even the design of the side air intakes are a straight lift from the Ducati Diavel.

The Ducati Diavel 1260's muscular front end, seat and tail section are copied by the Motrac cruiser

Like the Diavel, the bike uses wide sportsbike-like tyres and wheels, radial brakes and upside down front forks, and even sports twin barrel exhausts like the Diavel. What will be slightly differentiating is the double-sided swingarm on the Motrac cruiser, and the twin shocks, compared to the single-sided swingarm and rear monoshock of the Diavel. The Motrac cruiser, believed to be called 'Magic Dragon' also copies the Diavel in the placement of the front turn indicators, and the swingarm-mounted licence plate is also similar to the Ducati Diavel. The only visible and apparent design differences seem to be the round headlight, and a small TFT dash which sits in a rather awkward position above the headlight.

The front turn indicator design and position also apes the Ducati Diavel; the only visible change is in the round headlight

Motrac Motorcycles is a Chinese brand with its R&D and production facilities at the industrial park in Zhejiang, China. The company has current annual production capacity of 3,60,000 motorcycles. Motrac currently operates in North, South and Central America, and is also concentrating on expanding in the Asian region. In India, Motrac Motorcycles still doesn't have presence, but the brand's small 50 cc and 125 cc motorcycles are marketed and sold in neighbouring Bangladesh.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

Image
A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
