A new Greener Yamaha Nouvo SX 125

As a proud owner of the first Yamaha Nouvo model and it’s replacement, the Yamaha Nouvo LX, I was surprised to see that Yamaha finally released a new, more environmentally friendly Nouvo model dubbed the Yamaha Nouvo SX.


The Nouvo LX, released in 2008, was a very popular model with some minor issues such as the rear protruding tail lights being damaged in parking lights.  The Nouvo SX reverted back to the traditional taillights which will make many Nouvo riders quite happy saving money on repairs.  The Nouvo SX switched back to the single headlight for this model.  Yamaha switches from the bug-eye headlights to the single headlight between models.

 

The overall frame, from the photos, looks about the same as the original Nouvos.  I hope they fixed the incline of the seat so the rear passenger will not slide down towards the rider, a real headache when riding with two on the Nouvo LX.

The engine has been replaced by the 125 cc YMJet FI with Diasil cylinder and Forged Piston which is supposed to be more environmentally friendly.  All Yamaha motorbikes will be using this type of engine with the new models.

 

I have not seen the Nouvo SX yet.  When I bought my Nouvo LX back in July, 2008, I always expected to replace it as soon as Yamaha releases a greener Nouvo.  I just did not expect it to take so long.  I think I will switch bikes during the summer.

Lamborghini Aventador J is beautifully bonkers

This is not a concept car. We repeat, this is not a concept car.

It's one thing to create a convertible version of the gorgeous Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, it's another thing to take off the roof and the windscreen, fitting two small wind deflectors in front of the driver and passenger compartments. Climate control? Gone. Navigation/infotainment system? Forget it.

What you do get, however, is what Lamborghini calls "an utterly indescribable experience of power and dynamics." The J Roadster uses the same 700-horsepower, 6.5-liter V12 as its hardtop kin, and Lamborghini states that the open-air J will hit speeds as high as 186 miles per hour. In an effort to save weight even further, the automaker has used a new carbon fiber fabric called "Carbonskin" that is apparently soft and supple enough to be used on the seats and interior trim. Regardless, we're sure that once you're actually driving this beast at speed, you won't really care how good the fabric under your butt is.

 

But let's get back to that whole "not a concept car" thing. The J Roadster you see here is for sale. How many more will be produced? None. It's a one-off, one-run deal, and put away your pocketbooks – it's already been sold for a cool 2.1 million euros. Check it out for yourself in the attached high-res image gallery.
