Quadrant was one of the earliest British motorcycle manufacturers, established in Birmingham in 1901. Famous for their big singles, Quadrant pioneered many innovations that proved important for motorcycle development but struggled after the First World War and the company was wound up in 1928.

Quadrant Motorcycles History
Founded by Walter and William Lloyd in 1883 as a company to make bicycles and tricycles, Quadrant developed some of the first motorcycles in 1901.The first Quadrant motorcycle was fitted with the then very popular Minerva "clip-on" engine. They also made powered tricycles in 1902. Walter took out a patent in 1902 for an 'all-in-one' control lever to raise the exhaust valve, control the ignition switch and operate the throttle and the ignition advance. The LLoyd brothers began designing their own engines from 1903. These were ahead of their time as the engines was not just fixed on to a bicycle frame. Instead, the frame was purpose-built to properly hold the engine, and the Quadrant motorcycles also pioneered a suction inlet valve, hand oil pump and direct drive, as well as a spray carburetor in 1904 and magneto ignition in 1907. A famous long-distance motorcycle rider called Tom Silver was contracted by the company and gained them a lot of publicity through his success on Quadrant motorcycles in long distance events and in 1907 he became the managing director. The arrangement was not a success, however, and the company collapsed from internal disputes in 1907, with Silver leaving to form Silver Motors.
Walter Lloyd bought Quadrant and Tom Silver returned in 1909 but once again Silver was not able to get on with the new owner and left to build motorcycles under his own name. In 1911 Quadrant produced several models, including a 1129 cc V-twin and a 600 cc single. Production was halted by the First World War, after which they produced a range of 654 cc and 780 cc single-cylinder motorcycles, for which they became well known. They also developed an early prototype of a 292 cc scooter. In 1924 two models were offered, a 490 cc side-valve with bore and stroke of 79x100 and a hefty 624 cc side-valve with bore and stroke of 85x110. The Quadrant range included outdated side-valve motorcycles, updated in 1927 with the launch of a 490 cc overhead-valve model, but it did not sell well and the company was wound up in 1928.

Wave of enthusiasm produced by some Great bikes ( Ducati Hypermotard, KTM Supermoto, BMW Megamoto, Aprilia Dorsoduro , KTM Duke etc ...), fans of the brand Triumph began to wonder if they, too, one day will be rewarded with a product designed for this particular segment. So much so that some time in one of the most popular forums dedicated to the brand Hinckley ( www.forumtriumphchepassione.com ) circulated the "sketches virtual" hypothetical creature type motard . The starting point would be a Speed ​​Triple 105 0 , reworked with long saddle and "truncate", coupled with a driving position at the front loaded, as required by the supermoto philosophy precisely. In addition, a minimalist design and long-travel suspension, make this three cylinder Motorcycle very aggressive. Even if not so, it would be to remove a bit of the charm Made in UK . While it looks really effective and guessed the proposed name: Threemotard . Since then a "concept" created by fans , are wasted the variant on the details, such as high or low exhaust , headlight or double line, as well as on the operator. which with a weight close to 150kg transform the Threemotard in a real hooligan .

11,500 Honda CBR250R Motorcycles Recalled

HMSI recalls 11,500 Honda CBR250R over a faulty front brake issue
The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India, is recalling the bikes, which were produced from March 2011 to September 2012.  "In accordance with its global commitment to provide maximum customer satisfaction and highest quality products, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is announcing the recall of Honda CBR 250R  Standard variant motorcycle," HMSI said in a statement. The company's exclusive authorized dealerships across the country have started informing the customers from today for this exercise, which will take less than an hour, it added. Elaborating on the problem, HMSI said: "There is a possibility of limited ineffectiveness in front brake application, though this concern doesn't impact the overall braking functionality and effectiveness of front and rear brakes under normal riding conditions." HMSI said it is recalling 11,500 units of the Honda CBR250R Standard variant, which were manufactured in India between March 2011 and September 2012.
"Honda will rectify the problem free of cost, irrespective to the warranty status of the vehicle," the company said.     The Standard variant of the Honda CBR250R is currently available for Rs 1.48 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Commenting on this exercise, HMSI said: "This voluntary move, the first time by any two-wheeler manufacturer in India  is intrinsic to Honda's pro-activeness as a responsible manufacturer, which will further enhance ownership experience and strengthen customer trust and confidence in the brand." The move is probably the first for the Japanese auto giant's two-wheeler arm in India, although its passenger car division has had many such instances here in recent past. Last year, Honda's erstwhile joint venture, Honda Siel Cars India (HSCI), had recalled 72,115 units of its mid-sized sedan City to replace the defective power window switches.

Something a little different for today’s parking lot scene. Over on the Nationaal Archief on Flickr, we came across this undated photo of a parking lot full of motorcycles, presumably somewhere in the Netherlands, a country long associated with two-wheeled transportation. At least a couple tank logos are partially visible, so that should give you a head start on identifying those bikes. Anybody care to identify the rest?

During this time of economic uncertainty, there are many who are tightening their belts and refraining from the purchase of that much sought after and coveted bike of their dreams – myself included. This has driven up the sales and therefore production of more economically feasible transportation options such as lower displacement motorcycles and scooters. There are however other privileged individuals for which money is no object whatsoever. For those fortunate few, get your check book ready, for everyone else; prepare to shake your head in utter disbelief.Japanese designer Chicara Nagata’s Million Dollar Motorcycles are currently making their way around the world throughout various displays. These are not concepts; these are living, breathing, running motorcycles from the imagination of Chicara Nagata brought to life by his team of craftsmen.Combining elements of the past with visions of the future, Chicara’s has created four distinct models. Using Harley Davidson engines as a base, the other 500 parts used are individually and carefully handcrafted.
