Honda CBF Stunner Gets Leovince SBK exhaust system

Much relief to the riders of motorbikes, the Honda CBF Stunner will be herein after fitted with Leovince SBK exhaust system. The bike, as of now, is deprived of its Shine -drive despite the sharp cowl and less tuned engine. The arrival of this exhaust is a breathing break for the riders of this Stunner. Leovince, from UK, offers this exhaust system for this Stunner, and it provides 10% torque increase,10% power increase, Weight saving, ‘Superb’ sound. The imminent increase in the power output is 10.8 – 11.7 bhp@ 3500 rpm and 5200 rpm, a gain of torque upto 40%.

The cost of the kit is Rs. 27,212 and it is the ideal choice for international racers using Honda bikes – Stiggy-Honda, Wilson-Craig-Honda, Hannspree-Althea-Honda, Red Viper. Compared to these tuned bikes the performance in Stunner will be worthy for the money spent. The Leovince is in the news also for its newly crafted top-range ‘SBK Factory’silencer -in a oval shape with flat top and bottom sections, lightweight brushed alloy, a short 420mm body and 60mm tailpipe- the link to the engine with AISI 304 stainless pipework with racing type header fittings, a genuine carbon fibre support strap, 3D-style mounted kit – all these talk volumes of the efficiency of Leovince.

TVS Can Sell Original Flame

Clearing the decks for TVS Motor to manufacture and market its 125cc Flame, in its original form, the Madras High Court on Monday lifted an order of injunction which restrained the company from using internal combustion engine with three valves and two spark plugs. TVS now sells, Flame under a completely different technology as against the originally planned one.

Bajaj Auto Ltd had accused TVS Motor of copying its patented technology and moved the courts. In a petition , Bajaj claimed that though it had patent for an internal combustion engine with four stroke, two plugs and two valves configuration, TVS had infringed the rights as it had planned a new motorcycle with similar technology. On February 16, 2008, a single judge restrained TVS from using the technology on its new bike model.

On Monday, setting aside the order, a division Bench comprising justice S J Mukhopadhaya and Justice F M Ibrahim Kalifulla said photographs disclosed a marked difference between three valve configuration of TVS and the two valve configuration of Bajaj vis-a-vis the positioning of the twin plugs in the engine.

Concurring with the TVS’ submission that its third valve is not merely a cosmetic change, the judges said improved internal combustion working on four stroke principle of Bajaj and the four stroke internal combustion engine with at least two inlet valve and one exhaust valve of TVS were distinct from each other and both were entitled to equal protection of the Patents Act.

While Bajaj obtained patent for its engine, TVS said it possessed licence for the same technology from AVL of Austria. The judges said that since TVS was supported by valid patent as licensee no interim injunction should have been granted against it.
