Five best motorbike manufacturers in the world

This post is about motorbikes and if you like motorbikes then this is the blog for you. There are many motorbike manufacturers in the world nut i am here to show the best five motorbike brands in my opinion:

                                  5. Susuki

                 

 



Japanese cars are well known for their efficiency and I feel that their motorbikes are efficient too.

                                        4. Ducati

    The Ducati is said to be the ferarri of all motorcycles. The Italians are known to build fast cars like Ferraris and Lamborghini and the Ducati shows that they know how to build fast motorcycles.

                                     3. Kawasaki
         
For some of you this might be an interesting choice as it is a chinese manufacturer. I think that this is one of the best manufacturers as i feel that it has a reliable engine and it if very fast as well.

                                                         2. Honda

Everything which has been made by honda is reliable so that is why I have chosen Honda as the second best motorcycle manufacturer in the world.

    

                                         1. Yamaha

I feel that Yamaha's motorcycles have the best handling out of all of them so this is why I have chosen this as the best motorcycle manufacturer in the world and there is minimal difference between all of the Japanese motorcycle brands.

              I am sorry that there is no picture of a Yamaha motorcycle. There is no picture because the pictures that I tried to upload refused to upload.

                
                                                                               

Worlds most expensive places to buy a car

Hello all. I am here to talk about a very important topic here: The countries of the world where buying a car is very expensive.

                                                    10. Cuba.

Although you can now buy and sell cars freely in Cuba ever since the market was liberated, but with low incomes everywhere and extremely high prices, the price for a car is expensive.

                                                     9. North Korea

Unless you are lucky enough to be high up in the party ladder, then buying a car is out of the question for you.

                                                     8. St Kitts and Nevis

The islands situated in the carribean look like a driving paradise, but the prices of cars are very high for the sole reason of importing taxes.

                                                    7. United Kingdom

In the UK, second hand cars are cheap because they are used to right hand drive and therefore can not be sold anywhere else in europe, with the execption of Ireland, but for new cars, the insurance prices are high let alone the car.

                                                         6. Brazil

Taxes, labour costs, raw materials and lack of infrastructure means that brazilians pay twice as much and their counterparts would pay in other countries eg Mexico.

                                                         5. China

Cars are relatively new in China, so the prices for them are higher than other countries where cars have been around for longer.

                                                       4. Nicaragua

Nicaragua is considered to be a very bad place to be a car buyer as the prices are very high for substandard cars.

                                                     3. Indonesia

The indonesian car prices come with a certain element of craziness.

                                                   2. Malaysia

Due to high exise tax and protection policy for the local car maker of malaysia, proton, Cars like the honda accord are considered luxurious.

                                                 1. Singapore

Singapore is trying to get rid of congestion by making in very hard to own a car.

                         I hope that you enjoy this blog post, but until the next one, up, float and away.

  

Top cars of 2014

This year, there are a few cars which are worth buying if you are looking for a new car and you have the money for one, then the following cars are worth your money: The first of these cars is the porsche macan.

The porsche macan is an suv which is said to become a formidable rival to other suv's such as the range rover. It is said to be cheaper and sportier than the other porsche car, the cayenne. They will start to be delivered in April and the prices will range from 52,639 euros.

The car is the Audi A3 Cabriolet.

This is a second generation Audi a3 Cabriolet and it represents a shift in direction for Audi. The new model is longer than its predecessor, with a saloon like profile. It will be available in April and the prices will range from 31,352 euro.

The next car is the BMW 2-series.

The BMW 2-series will replace the outgoing 1 series coupe. The new two door car series is based on the 1 series hatchback and it will be available for purchase from March onwards and the prices will range from 29,374 euro.

Planes that never took off

The first flight took place on the 17th December 1903 and the wright brothers were the first people to fly a plane. Sincde then, many planes have been built and flown. However, there have also been a few planes that never got past the planning stage. Today, I will be bringing these planes back back to people's minds. The first one of these planes is the McDonnell Douglas MD-12.

The MD-12 was to be the first fully double decker plane ever built(a superjumbo as some may call it). It was an aircraft design study undertaken by the McDonnell Douglas company in the 1990's. It would have become a competitor to the airbus 380 and the designs for the airbus 380 were probably taken from the designs of the MD-12. It's first flight was to have taken place in late 1995 and the first MD-12's would have been delivered to airlines in 1997 as it was planned. The next plane that I will be talking about is the Boeing 2707. The Boeing 2707 was the first american supersonic aircraft to be developed. In 1958, Boeing had started to think about future supersonic aircraft designs, however, over the next few years, environmental concerns, ecinomic viability and fear ruined the project, so in 1971, the US government cut funding for the Boeing 2707 project. 

I am sorry that I did not have a picture of the Boeing 2707 as for some reason the picture did not save onto my computer properly.
