HONDA CB TWISTER COMING SOON IN NEPAL

 

HONDA  CB TWISTER

Honda’s fingers have firmly located the Indian biker’s pulse. It knows we can’t resist good-looking motorcycles. And that we must have durable quality, a reliable engine and unmatched fuel economy, all of which has to come home attractively priced.

Enter, the 109cc CB Twister, a commuter bike that looks like no other Indian commuter bike to date and has launched with Honda saying it has perfected every aspect of its new motorcycle. Read on and allow us to bring you our opinion on Honda’s new CB Twister.

Your eyes won’t believe they’re upon a commuter bike while viewing Honda’s CB Twister.

Honda claims the CB Twister's four-stroke 109cc single-cylinder engine produces 9 bhp at 8000 rpm. Its twin-valves operate via a high-lift camshaft with a twin-pocket air-jacket part of this efficient air-cooling system.

A highlight to Honda’s new engine is its long intake funnel leading from the carburettor to the combustion cavity. The crankshaft sits offset in the interests of good utilization of combustion energy, and friction minimizing methods like rocker arms equipped with roller bearings are standard. The CB Twister deploys a viscous type air-filter unit for good breathing, while its silencer mounted catalytic converter launders emissions.

HONDA ENJOYS LIGHT                         

This new Honda enjoys light clutch feel, and a well-weighted and positive-feeling gearshift quality. Shifting is in the universal, one-down, three-up pattern via the shift lever. The Twister enjoys perfectly spaced gear ratios and a soft yet healthy exhaust note that makes for enjoyable listening.

Throttle response is instant, and this light (238-lb) motorcycle benefits a peppy, enthusiastic feel that belies its small-capacity engine. The powerband is wide, vibe-free and silky smooth even when pushing high revs; the Twister willingly chugs away in top-gear (4th) from speeds as low as 15 mph. Performance is class leading, with the 0-36-mph dash achieved in a creditable 7.13 seconds. Top speed is adequate, a true 60 mph on a flat surface.

 TWISTER DIFFERENT FRAME                         

The Twister comes with a different frame as seen to date on bikes by Honda for India. As with a single-downtube frame, the CB also deploys its engine as a stressed member but sends a pair of arms down from its steering head to hold the engine. Suspension is by a telescopic fork up front and a pair of hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear, along with a rectangle-section swingarm.

Honda has got this bike’s ergonomics spot on, with the riding posture comfortably upright and saddle perfectly padded. The CB Twister comes with 17-inch wheels at both ends, and our test bike came shod with a pair of tubeless MRF tyres that offered excellent traction. Ride quality on this bike is set a touch towards firm, with handling taut and precise at all times. Perfect for quick manoeuvring through crowded traffic, the CB Twister steers with a neutral and light feel. Cornering manners and straight-line stability are commendable.   
HONDA TWISTER IS COMFORTABLE                                

surprisingly better than its rivals. The latest Honda is comfortable too, enjoying a well engineered chassis that provides nimble and light handling. The sum of which means the Autocar India crystal ball predicts this competitively priced motorcycle is one big winner on all fronts.

Our big grouse is Honda already struggling to feed waiting lists building up at its two-wheeler dealerships. This needs urgent addressing, as the CB Twister is certain to further lengthen these waiting lists, while on its way to becoming a huge blockbuster for its maker.

Chitwan National Park .in Nepal

For a small country, Nepal is incredibly diverse. It has the greatest range of altitudes of any nation on earth, ranging from the earth's highest mountains to subtropical river plains. And as the trading ground and meeting place among several cultures, dozens of different languages are spoken by even more ethnic groups. In general, Nepali parks are not"untouched" environments, but have a long history of use by humans. Many national parks incorporate grazing, farming, wood gathering, survival hunting, and human habitation into their boundaries, as well as tourism and trekking. These uses are not without their tensions and their environmental stresses. But there's also something wonderful about this close association of humans and the natural environment; a trip to a Nepali national park always involves interacting with other cultures as well as with the raw stuff of nature. Royal Chitwan National Park Elephant Safari Nepal's first and most famous national park is situated in the Chitwan Doon or the lowlands of the Inner Terai. Covering an area of 932 sq km. the park includes hilly areas of the Siwalik Range covered by deciduous sal forest. One fifth of the park is made up of the floodplains of the Narayani, Rapti, and the Reu Rivers and is covered by dense tall elephant grass interspersed with riverine forests of silk cotton (kapok), acacia and sisam trees. This ecologically diverse area is the lastremaining home in Nepal for more than 300 of the endangered Asian one-horned rhinoceros and harbours one of the largest populations of the elusive and rare Royal Bengal tiger. Besides rhino and tiger, Chitwan also supports a great variety of flora and fauna. There are four species of deer, including the spotted chittal, leopard, sloth bear, wild boar, rhesus monkey, grey langur monkey, wild dog, small wild cats, the white stockinged gaur (the world's largest wild cattle) and many other smaller animals. The swampy areas and numerous oxbow lakes of Chitwan provide a home for marsh crocodiles. In a stretch of the Narayani river is found one of the few remaining populations of the rare and endangered fish-only eating gharial, or Gangetic crocodile. Here also is found one of the world's four species of freshwater dolphins. For the ornithologist and the amateur bird-watcher the park offers excellent possibilities with more than 450 species recorded. Some of the resident specialities are several species of woodpeckers, hornbills, Bengal florican, and red-headed trogons. Winter birds such as waterfowl, Brahminy duck, pintails and bareheaded geese, amongst many other cold weather visitors are drawn by the sanctuary of the park's rivers. In the summer the forest is alive with nesting migrants such as the fabulous paradise flycatcher, the Indian pitta and parakeets. Entry Fee Per Person Per Entry  For Nepalese Nationals, Rs. 20/- For SAARC Nationals, Rs. 200/- For Other Foreign Nationals, Rs. 500/- Filming Permit Fee (Documentary Films) For Nepalese Nationals, Rs. 5,000/- For SAARC Nationals, Rs. 25,000/- For Other Foreign Nationals, equivalent national currency of US $ 1,000/- Helicopter Landing (Per Landing), Rs. 2,000/- (Note Entrance fee not required for children under 10 years). Access Chitwan is easily accessible from Kathmandu, being well connected by a national highway to Bharatpur and to Sauraha. There are daily fights from October through May to Meghauli airstrip just outside the park boundary. Another exciting alternative is a two to three day raft trip down the Trishuli river to Narayanghat or directly into the western edge of the park. Visitors can stay in one of the several lodges and camps inside or outside the park. Visitors can actively participate in exciting stalks through the forest looking for animals signs. One unique Chitwan experience is elephant back safaris in search of the one-horned rhinoceros, leopard, deer, bear, monkey and crocodile. Few visitors can ever forget the excitement of crashing through 20 feet high elephant grass and sightseeing wildlife. Apart from elephant safaris, the traveller will be happily occupied for several days with nature walks, canoe rides down the park rivers, and land-over drives through the forest.

SONY The DSR-PD170 is a high quality video camera

The DSR-PD170 is a high quality video camera well suited to a broad range of applications -- from event videography to training videos to filmmaking. It's small size and long battery life make it ideal for use in the field, and its broad array of manual override features make it a very adaptable camera for all sorts of shooting environments.
Two XLR audio inputs allow you to connect pro mics or external audio. 3CCD camera system
Originally, camcorders used one CCD--the imaging device that turns light into electronic information--and let the image processing unit decider the color information from the data. Like today's broadcast video cameras, however, the DSR-PD170 uses a prism to divide incoming light into three beams and uses specially tuned 1/3-inch CCDs to create red, blue, and green composite images, which are assembled into a final image. The result is a more film-like vibrancy and more accurate color representation. Advanced HAD technology reduces fixed pattern noise and the vertical smear sometimes associated with CCD images.
Audio
The DSR-PD170 records two channels of PCM digital sound with the 48 kHz/16-bit or 32 kHz/12-bit mode. It features a ECM-NV1 electret condenser microphone, as well as two XLR audio input connectors for use with professional-grade microphones or external audio sources.A zoom lever and a rec start/stop button are built into the handle. 12x optical zoom lens
The DSR-PD170 is equipped with a 12x zoom lens. Zoom comes in handy when you can't get close enough to your subject for proper framing, such as a sporting event or nature photography. The camera also has digital zoom feature selectable for 24x or 48x. Users should note, however, that digital zoom comes at the expense of picture quality, since it is achieved by discarding part of the information from the frame.
In order to facilitate zoom control and recording operation during low-angle shooting, an additional zoom lever and a rec start/stop button have been added to the carrying handle. Furthermore, the supplied wireless Remote Commander unit can be used for external control.
To protect your investment, the DSR-PD170 comes with a lens hood with a built-in lens cap, which will keep your glass from getting dirty or scratched. The hood can be opened or closed by using a lever on the side of the hood, so it will never get lost. Also, it comes with a wide conversion lens, which is ideal for shooting indoors or in small spaces.The kit includes a wide
converter lens and hood. Optical Super SteadyShot system
Sony's optical Super SteadyShot System helps remove the slight hand jitter and vibration that is often the bane of video production. Sensors inside the camera detect horizontal and vertical movements and the camera can counteract those movements by adjusting the lens mechanism on the fly. This is superior to digital anti-shake systems that counteract image shake by trimming off edges of the frame.
Large precision black & white viewfinder and LCD monitor
View your subject through the built-in viewfinder, the swing-out LCD display, or both. The camera features a 0.44-inch type black & white LCD viewfinder and a 2.5-inch color LCD monitor. You'll save battery time by using just one, but you may want to use one for adjusting focus and the other for monitoring audio levels.
Index marking and title function
When using a Cassette Memory-equipped DVCAM/DV tape, an index can be marked while recording with the DSR-PD170 or recording from an external video source, which makes for quick access later on. Also, you can store titles in the cassette memory for overlay during playback.
More DSR-PD170 features ? 6:9 Widescreen Acquisition mode -- Captures video at true widescreen aspect ratio without letterboxing ? digital pictures -- save still images to Memory Stick media and combine with video images through the Media Mix function ?ow Light Shooting -- record in just 11x minimum illumination ? arge-sized Handle -- enhanced design for a better grip?ate Stamping -- Superimpose the date onto an image ?
