Honda reveal CB-F Concept ahead of Honda Virtual Motorcycle Show

Image
Honda reveal CB-F Concept ahead of Honda Virtual Motorcycle Show Honda have announced the world premiere of the CB-F Concept online, with the reveal originally planned for the 36th Osaka Motorcycle Show 2020 and the 47th Tokyo Motorcycle Show, and now instead taking place online, along with a Honda Virtual Motorcycle Show. The CB-F Concept is the result of delving into CB series’ history, which reached its sixth decade last year led by the CB1000R, and giving a look into the next evolution of the brand’s flagship nakedbike. The CB-F Concept is a fusion of cutting edge technology with a design paying homage to the CB900F(CB750F in Japan, a Japanese global model which, in part through the North American racing scene, built the CB’s iconic status. The 998cc water-cooled, four-stroke, four-valve, inline four-cylinder DOHC engine offers ample rev-range and provides generous torque. The CB-F Concept’s chassis is a lightweight, high-tensile steel mono-backbone structure. Its inve...

2019 Honda CBR 400 R Unveiled, to Compete with Kawasaki Ninja 400

Image
The 400cc motorcycle segment, which until now comprised mainly of the Kawasaki Ninja 400, has a new addition in the form of the Honda CBR 400 R which has been unveiled by the company in Japan. Although it is not an all-new model as Honda had unveiled the previous generation of the motorcycle at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show, the new model though does bring along with it several changes. The biggest one is the change in the design theme which now seems to take inspiration from the India-bound Honda CBR 650 R which we saw breaking cover at the 2018 edition of EICMA, hinting in the new ‘sportier-looking’ updates that the CBR range is getting all over, including the CBR 500 R as well. Keep in mind that the CBR 650 R replaces the CBR 650 F, on which the outgoing version of the CBR 400 R was based on. The 2019 Honda CBR 400 R is powered with a 399cc in-line two-cylinder engine that develops 46 PS of power and 38 Nm of torque and comes with a water-cooling system. The engine comes along wi...

Jonathan Pitre and me: How I learned the miracle of Ottawa's Butterfly Boy

Image
video  When he was still a young boy, Jonathan Pitre had an older woman approach him in the grocery store as he sat in a shopping cart being pushed by his mother, Tina Boileau. The woman took in Jonathan’s bandaged body and some of the red, angry blisters on his hands and other exposed skin. “Oh, mon pauvre enfant,” she exclaimed. Jonathan sat up straight in his seat, and shot back: “I’m not poor.” The woman learned, in a heartbeat, what I have come to understand in four years of interviewing and writing about Jonathan: You cannot project your life, and your expectations for it, onto him. He doesn’t want pity; he wants friendship. He doesn’t want you to turn away; he wants you to understand his disease. And he doesn’t spend time feeling sorry for himself: he’s too busy squeezing the nectar out of the life he’s been given. Jonathan’s life is full of pain, but equally full of love. And while it’s almost impossible to exaggerate the amount of suffering he endures in any ...

3 Of The Most Noob Friendly Dota 2 Heroes, And Some To Avoid

Image
Bane What Does He Do : All of his spells only target a single person, so there are no skillshots that require precision aiming. Instead, you simply press the key for the ability, and click on the target. He has two built-in disables, so he is able to survive many gank attempts, and he even has a skill that allows him to weaken enemy right click damage deals, which can not only save your life, but it can also turn the tide of a teamfight in the late game. Does He Need Farm : Bane needs almost no farm, and his abilities are powerful enough that he can still be a factor in the game without spending gold on anything but wards, a courier, and some boots. Things To Keep In Mind: There is one special note about Bane that you need to keep in mind. His “E,” called Nightmare, requires some planning. If anyone attacks the person you’ve disabled, they will then become disabled themselves. This means you need to be careful who you target. If your teammate is attacking someone, ...

why dota is better than lol

There have been several articles describing how a player of LoL feels once he enters into DotA 2 lately. The problem is those articles were written by people that didn't actually get into DotA 2 and they basically had no idea what they are talking about. On the other hand, there are a lot of elitist statements by DotA veterans that act like douchebags calling LoL causal, kiddy, etc. I played both of these games a LOT and I want to try to compare them without any prejudice and without stating which one of them is better. 1. Accessibility Lets get this out of the way, the answer is known by most ppl anyway: LoL is more accessible than DotA 2. Dying is less punishing because you don't lose that much gold and even if you get owned two or three times during the laning phase you still won't be that much behind. If you get killed or are forced to run back to your base two or three times during the laning phase in DotA you are several levels and a lot of gold behi...

What are the best Dota 2 heroes for beginners? Dota 2 is a difficult game to get into. Immediate questions like, “Who are all these heroes?”, “Which one is best?”, and “Why am I dying so much?” will pop up at the start of your first game and often continue well into your 50th. Let’s try to ease some of that pain. Here you’ll find our recommendations for the best Dota 2 heroes for noobs, beginners, or the otherwise experience-impaired. Welcome, hero!

There are well over 100 heroes and new ones are added semi-regularly; a new Dota 2 hero in the form of Underlord is on the way.
