Suomy launched the new SR-SPORT helmet earlier in the year, which takes the mantle from the successful Excel. Technologically speaking, it represents what Suomy has learnt from its eight Superbike world titles; produced in Tricarboco, the special blend of fiberglass, Kevlar and carbon fibre, the SR-SPORT combines a greater safety to the lightness.

Lifestyle / BMW AirFlow 2 Helmet
Winner of the prestigious red dot design award for 2012, BMW’s AirFlow 2 helmet is meant for the hotter seasons of motorcycling. Okay, so it’s not a full-face helmet, but its three-quarter shell should protect nearly as well. Sporting a short, recessed visor (it’s scratch-proof too by the way), the headgear boasts aluminium and carbon aplenty, along with two distinctive ventilation openings on the outside and a sophisticated ventilation concept on the inside. All good, but from what we hear, it’s only available in Europe. Not fair! Continue reading →

RSD Nightrod Turbo / Just the Essentials
Roland Sands “didn’t do much” on this Harley-Davidson NightRod, just the essentials. As we all crave for more power in whatever motorcycle we ride, RSD opted for a subtle “turbo” upgrade that boosts the power to a usable 160hp and god knows how much torque. The stock swing arm was changed for a single-sided one and a chain drive replaces the stock belt. The suspension is just a simple case of swapping the front forks for Ohlins Road & Track units and rear shock for a TTX unit. Continue reading →

Carbon Fiber Aprilia RSV4 Factory Down Under
Let’s get the facts straight – the Carbon Fiber Special Edition of the latest Aprilia RSV4 Factory bike is absolutely bonkers, mad, crazy-exclusive and super-expensive. Yet somehow it represents an object of such irresistible desire that it would easily make the sanest and most calculated rider spend it’s entire life savings in an blink of an eye. And we have to say that we understand this poor, sane and calculated man. Who wouldn’t, for only $10 000AUS more, buy (what buy, steal) a $39 990AUS machine with the following specifications: Continue reading →

Ducati Hillclimber by Bad Boys Motorcycles
Pictures: Gilberto Cedolia / Narrow Lanes
This beautiful Ducati Hillclimber was built for Alain Wicki, the Swiss luge champion by the talented Bad Boys Motorcycles (Switzerland). Based on the Ducati Sport 1000 platform the bike remained mechanically unchanged, but with a couple of nice touches like the custom gas tank and the tail section coupled with the Quat-d Ex-box it’s character was completely transformed. The swing arm, the rear sets, the exhaust, the fake belly pan, forks, brakes and wheels were all powered coated in black, leaving only the gas tank and the tail section in baby blue – perfect combination.

The year is 2008 and the designer Richard Minott is realizing it’s idea to create custom bikes with a feel of an exotic cars. He lights up his “cigar”, take few deep breaths and calls it the Scorpion! Powered by the turbocharged BMW R1200S engine it doesn’t look like anything else we’ve seen before…or after…it produced 160hp, challenging the Hayabusa’s and ZX14R’s of that time. Is it aerodynamic? Who cares… Continue reading →
