REVIEW:KTM 125 DUKE

2012 KTM 125 Duke

A CHART BUSTER IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN

What a start! Within weeks after its launch in 2011, the 125 Duke zipped right to the top of the 125 segment.
The reasons are clear – legal to ride for the Young and Young-at-heart, the 125 from Mattighofen is an absolute joy to ride, has fully-fledged motorcycle technology and comes at a reasonable price. The driving force is a state-of-the-art 4-stroke single, specially
developed for the 125 Duke, with a sophisticated DOHC 4-valve cylinder head and liquid cooling.

It delivers 15 hp – the legal limit of many markets – without breaking a sweat. The extremely economical engine not just has a well-balanced power delivery but also great refinement, thanks to an integrated balancer shaft. An advanced electronic
fuel injection and 3-way catalytic converter ensure clean emissions. A very light steel trellis frame, equipped with high quality WP suspension components, is the basis for dynamic fun in the twisties.

Masses grouped tightly around the centre of gravity, like the main silencer right behind the engine, also do not exactly hurt. Even the smallest Duke has firstrate components wherever you look, like the powerful braking system developed in co-operation with Brembo. It just is a real KTM.

REVIEW:HONDA CBR125R

2012 Honda CB125R Review

Thanks to its big-bike styling, small-bike agility, and easygoing personality, the CBR125R has been making tons of friends on streets and race tracks right across the country.

It’s impossible. You simply can’t look at the Honda CBR125R and not start imagining all the fun you could have. Inexpensive to own and easy to operate, the CBR125R was designed to give novice riders confidence while they learn, while also being fun and practical for more experienced riders. The lightweight chassis, low-effort controls, comfortable seat height that makes it easy for your feet to reach the ground at stoplights, and responsive, hard-to-stall engine with PGM-FI electronic fuel injection, all help make the CBR125R the perfect choice for all types of riders, and all types of riding.

Convenient electric start gets you going with the push of a button, and disc brakes front and rear help provide strong stopping power while also being easy to modulate. Add a close-ratio six-speed transmission that’s super-smooth to shift and a fully featured instrument panel, and you’ve got a bike that’s a blast to ride, whether you’re heading downtown or way out of town with your riding friends.

The 125cc sportsbike class is where riding careers begin. For the vast majority of new riders, on the road and on the race circuit, these machines are the first step on a path that could lead anywhere, perhaps right to the top. For this reason 125cc sportsbikes have a huge responsibility. They must be just as rewarding to ride as bigger Supersports machines, particularly where engine power is less important, such as in town and on very twisty roads. They must be easy to ride too, patiently nurturing new riders and building their confidence on two wheels. If a 125cc sportsbike can put its rider at ease with the fundamentals of control then it has done its job.

Of course the perfect 125cc sportsbike is also huge fun to ride. Such machines are motorcycling's first chance to capture a rider's imagination; its opportunity to show just how exhilarating and rewarding riding can be, not to mention how much more practical it is as a means of travelling today's congested urban roads. This can only be achieved by offering a machine that's designed from the ground up as a sportsbike - delivering the crisp responses and thrilling performance young riders demand.

Reliability and low maintenance are all-important. Any rider's first bike is likely to be called upon to perform a huge range of tasks, from weekend leisure riding or track days to weekday commuting. Absolute reliability must be a given, while low running costs and hassle-free ownership are also critical. Ideally, it should also offer a comfortable pillion seat, allowing a young rider to share the fun with friends.

Since its introduction in 2004 the CBR125R has represented the ideal first sportsbike. Compact, lightweight and blessed with the refinement, ease of use and welcoming handling that have become synonymous with the CBR family, it has become a popular machine with young riders the world over. But the time has come for a more sophisticated 125cc sportsbike, a 125 with the quality feel associated with bigger machines. The CBR125R is ready to prove itself as the perfect first sportsbike for a new generation of riders.

Development concept

Supersport bikes are the ultimate road motorcycles - high performance machines boasting the very latest in chassis and engine development. To ride they are exhilarating in the extreme, offering a thrill no other type of bike can match. The 2012 CBR125R has been designed to offer similar riding dynamics, giving young riders the opportunity to develop sports riding skills from the very earliest days of their careers.

The existing CBR125R is an enormously popular motorcycle, one that has schooled a generation of riders in sports riding. But while its small size is a tremendous asset in many instances, guaranteeing easy handling, a low weight and the ability to slice through urban traffic, the demand has emerged for a 125cc machine that is in every way a full-sized sportsbike. Honda's response to this demand is a new small-capacity bike with big ambitions - the 2012 CBR125R.

The brief was simple: to create a 125cc sportsbike with the look and feel of a bigger and more expensive machine. The new sportsbike had to retain the current CBR125R's user-friendly handling characteristics and free-revving single-cylinder engine, but package them inside all-new bodywork with the sophisticated styling and full-size proportions demanded by the modern young sports rider. It was decided too that wider, more impressive wheel and tyre sizes should be specified, enhancing handling while also helping create the feel of a much bigger motorcycle. Finally, the latest advances in fuel injection and catalyser technology would make the 2012 CBR125R more efficient than its predecessor.

Smoking - Quitting?

Quitting smoking is not an easy process, but it is well worth the effort and discipline required. You'll feel healthier and fitter, and reduce your risk of developing many serious health conditions, including cancer and heart disease.

Symptoms

Withdrawal from nicotine (which is the addictive substance in tobacco) causes discomfort and physical side-effects in most people, and may last up to six months. Withdrawal symptoms can manifest as:

• Cigarette cravings
• Headache
• Nausea and stomach upsets such as constipation and diarrhoea
• Falling heart rate and blood pressure
• Fatigue, drowsiness, or insomnia
• Irritability, depression, anxiety and nervousness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Increased hunger (weight gain)

Causes

It is the nicotine in cigarettes that makes it hard to quit smoking. Nicotine is a stimulant, it elevates mood and is responsible for the confident attitude of smokers who say they can give up at any time. It is also responsible for many of the negative effects of smoking.
In association with carbon monoxide, which is produced in the burning process, nicotine causes the nervous system to increase the heart rate. Together, they also cause constriction of the arteries and tend to increase blood thickness. Over time, these processes place a constant strain on the cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of a blocked artery. The risk to the smoker is multiplied by being overweight, not exercising and having a high cholesterol level.
Nicotine creates a chemical dependency, so that the body develops a need for a certain level of nicotine at all times.

Natural therapies

• Vitamin B complex is important to support your nervous system through the stressful time of giving up smoking
• Relaxant herbs such as hypericum, passionflower and valerian provide relief from nervous tension and stress
• Smokers require extra vitamin C to compensate for its destruction by cigarette smoke; aim to take 500-1000 mg per day

Lifestyle factors

Your body will thank you for giving up smoking and so will the people around you. The health advantages of stopping smoking are numerous and range from increased energy to a decreased risk of cancer and heart attack.
It can be helpful to analyse your smoking habit - common triggers for cigarette cravings are emotional ("I always need a cigarette when I am stressed") or environmental ("I only smoke when I'm at the pub"). By understanding how your addiction affects you, it will be easier to develop successful strategies for quitting.
It is also a good idea to pick a specific day to stop smoking - at least a couple of weeks in advance and tell all your friends and family of your intention. They will be invaluable support and you will also feel a sense of commitment once you have spoken of your intentions.
Your success depends upon your motivation and will to quit. Talk to yourself positively and remind yourself how good you will eventually feel with a healthy body and mind.
Some people find it motivating to think about the amount of money they will save by not smoking, and to start planning to use it to reward themselves once they have quit.

Remedy
Avoid smoky environments and situations where you habitually smoke a lot.
Don't smoke around children, and be sure they understand the dangers of smoking.

Manage Stress

Stress means different things to different people, and it sometimes seems that the people around us know when we're suffering from it before we do! We need to have a certain level of stress in our lives as it inspires us to move ahead, to accomplish tasks and motivates us to action. The trick is learning how to make stress work for you rather than against you.

Symptoms

Physical symptoms of stress may include:

• Headache
• Fatigue
• Insomnia
• Digestive changes, such as becoming more prone to diarrhoea or constipation
• Neck or backache
• Loss of appetite or overeating
• Increased use of tobacco or alcohol
• Muscle twitches or spasms
• Lowered libido

Psychological symptoms may include:

• Tension or anxiety
• Anger
• Withdrawal
• Pessimism
• Lack of concentration
• Resentment
• Increased irritability
• Feelings of cynicism
• Performance problems

If stress continues over a long period without being addressed, we become more likely to develop health problems such as ulcers, fatigue, skin diseases and recurrent infection.

Causes

When we feel intense stress or fear, a hormone called adrenalin is secreted from the adrenal glands, which are situated above the kidneys. Our heart beats faster, our blood pressure rises, and our muscles tense up. At the same time, our breathing quickens, and the blood sugar levels rise to provide us with instant energy. This is what is known as the "fight or flight" response, and signals that our body perceives danger and is getting ready to deal with it.
The problem is that in our modern lives, factors such as job pressures and emotional ups and downs sometimes cause us to live in a state of stress for long periods.
Everyone reacts to stress differently and has a different tolerance level. The way that stress manifests in your body depends on your genetic make-up, diet and exercise routine, and physical surroundings.

Natural therapies

• B group vitamins are of benefit in times of stress when B group vitamins and vitamin C are depleted. For best results choose one with added magnesium which assists in muscle relaxation
• Herbs traditionally used for their sedative actions, such as valerian, passion flower and hops may also provide relief of nervous tension, stress and mild anxiety. When taken in a low dose they do not cause day-time drowsiness and are therefore useful for occupational stress, examination jitters and as a relaxant and mild sedative for stress and insomnia
• If you are feeling anxious, try hypericum, which has been clinically proven to improve the symptoms of anxiety

Lifestyle factors

Often talking your problems over with someone helps you to see things from a different slant. This can be helpful in finding a solution which you did not think of before. If there is no family member or friend who you feel comfortable talking to, ask your healthcare professional for a referral to a counsellor who will help you to pinpoint events or conditions that are stressful to you, and to devise ways of reducing the stress they cause.
Maintaining your physical health has a strong benefit for your mental health too. When you are under a lot of stress, pay extra attention to your diet and exercise routine. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sugary and fatty foods which can lead to declining energy levels, and aim for a balanced diet to ensure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals.
Schedule regular periods of activity which you find relaxing. This can mean anything from walking the dog to watching a funny movie or going out to dinner with friends. Massage is also of benefit, and as well as being relaxing can help to improve your sleep and relieve muscle tension.

Remedy
Your body is less likely to be affected by stress when it's in good health. Stop smoking, commence a regular exercise programme and maintain a balanced diet, and you will find that you don't get stressed as easily.
If you know that you are particularly susceptible to stress, consider taking up meditation or doing a course to develop new problem-solving skills. Sometimes changing the way you look at problems changes the way you react to them. For help in these areas, ask your healthcare professional to refer you to a teacher in your area.

Anxiety

Anxiety is defined as "an unpleasant emotional state ranging from mild unease to intense fear". Some anxiety is normal, higher levels of anxiety can be uncomfortable and lead to significant health problems. Anxious individuals usually have a constant feeling that something bad is going to happen. A chronic state of anxiety may lead to panic attacks.

Symptoms

• Chest palpitations
• Feeling of tightness or inability to take in enough air
• Tension in the muscles of the back and neck
• Headaches
• Muscle spasms
• Insomnia
• Excessive sweating
• Dryness of the month
• Dizziness
• Tremors
• Digestive disturbances
• Constant need to urinate or defecate
• Irritability
• Panic attacks

Causes

Anxiety may arise from a range of factors including:

• Nutrition: avoiding alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, sugar and refined carbohydrates appears to play a key role in reducing anxiety.
• Nutritional deficiency of the B group vitamins, and the minerals magnesium and calcium
• Environmental: heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium and aluminium), pesticides and herbicides have an affinity to the nervous system
• Social pressures: factors such as job pressures, family pressures and the stress of modern day living will all contribute to anxiety
• Hypoglycaemia: the brain requires a constant supply of blood sugar. A drop in blood glucose levels results in the release of hormones which increase blood sugar levels. Depending on the individual's symptoms, hypoglycaemia can include anxiety, irritability, fatigue and headaches.
• Allergies: from both food and environmental factors have been linked to increased anxiety, depression and a general feeling of fatigue.
• Hormonal factors: are known to influence mood. Anxiety is a common symptom of premenstrual syndrome. Anxiety, irritability and emotional instability due to PMS are strongly associated with excess oestrogen and decreased progesterone during the premenstrual phase.

Natural therapies

• B group vitamins are of benefit in times of nervous tension and anxiety when B group vitamins and vitamin C are depleted. For best results choose one with added magnesium which assists in muscle relaxation.

Lifestyle factors

• Suitable stress management techniques such as counselling, meditation, massage and yoga will help alleviate the symptoms of anxiety.
• Maintaining your physical health also benefits mental health. Avoid alcohol, caffeine (coffee, cola, chocolate), refined carbohydrates, sugar and foods that cause allergies. These substances will lead to an increase in the symptoms of anxiety.
• Exercise is invaluable as a supportive treatment plan for anxiety. Exercise increases endorphin production in the blood (endorphins are naturally occurring morphine-like substances that help the body deal with anxiety).
• Aromatherapy massage or bathing with essential oils such as lavender, geranium, rosewood, orange, bergamot, ylang ylang are indicated for anxiety as they help to reduce stress.

Remedy
Promoting a healthy lifestyle and diet is very important in the treatment of anxiety. Particularly important is to stop smoking, reduce excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption as well as avoiding food allergies.
These lifestyle changes will help to reduce anxiety, as will the addition of exercise, a healthy diet and nutritional and herbal supplements. A program which includes appropriate relaxation techniques and the support of counselling (if needed) will go a long way in the treatment of anxiety.

11 Tips Getting Children to eat more Fruits and Vegetables

11 tips for getting children to eat more fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods!
1. Set a good example
When it comes to eating fruits and vegetables, the actions of older family members will definitely influence how kids react. If you eat and enjoy fruit and vegetables every day, your children may eventually follow your lead.
2.Offer variety
Offer children a variety of fruit and vegetables every day. Choose different coloured fruit and vegetables, particularly yellow, green and red.
3. Offer choices
When it comes to serving fruits and vegetables, offering kids two to three fruit or vegetable choices at each meal is a smart idea. Choosing between baby carrots or celery sticks allow children to make decisions and exercise power.
4. Add fruits and vegetables to favourite foods
Adding fruits and vegetables to favourite foods is an easy way to get a child to eat more fruits and vegetables. e.g. if bread is the favourite, offer different types of bread and play around with different toppings. Put sliced bananas on top of cereal or add extra vegies to spaghetti sauce.
5. Involve your child in food preparation and planning
Kids are more likely to try something they've helped prepare. Get your kids interested in making fruit and vegetable recipes or have them help find recipes to try.
6. If a food is rejected, don't make it big deal - try it another time
Children may need to taste a new food a number times in order to decide whether they like the taste.
7. Make mealtimes sociable and enjoyable rather than a chore
Eat together as family as often as possible.
8. Don't give children new foods when they are tired and fussy
When this occurs, they are less likely to try it or enjoy it.
9. Make it easy
Keep a bowl of fresh fruit handy, and vegetables such as peas, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots and mushrooms in the fridge to grab for a quick snack.
10. Don't offer snacks close to meal times.
This will help ensure your children are hungry and will more likely eat what is on their plate.
11. Make meal times fun
Capturing the imagination of kids can make eating fruits and vegetables more exciting. Present young kids with cut up fruits and vegetables, and then let them create funny faces or animals. While creating their masterpiece, they're likely to snack on the tasty building blocks.
