It looks like Horex VR6 Roadster will “soon start” the production – despite the skepticism usually surrounding the new motorcycle companies. The biggest problem beside being late in their schedules is that the production bikes at the end doesn’t reassemble the prototypes at all – something that Clemens Neese managed to pull of – creating an all-new narrow angle V-engine – and only loosing a supercharger so far. However the same will appear on later models. Read more about it after the jump. Continue reading →

2012 Moto Guzzi California 1400
This supposed to be a private presentation of the all new Moto Guzzi California 1400, but the pictures somehow leaked to the general public. The new cruiser looks very much like the concept shown last year – with the same seat, big engine and the tank shape. The turbine-finns wheels replaced the spoke wheels of the concept, while the rear shocks have the design remote reservoars! Continue reading →

Zero-Emissions TRON Light Cycle / Parker Brothers Choppers
You must remember the crazy Parker Brothers and their 2010 TRON Legacy light cycle. $55k custom machine powered by a Suzuki V-Twin engine, rolling on 22inch dual hubless wheels was one of the most recognizable customs motorcycles of the year. Now, it’s electric version is available as well! Pretty impressive numbers are brought to the paper: top speed in excess of 100mph with the autonomy range of 100 miles on a single 35min charge. Price? Not mentioned…yet. Continue reading →

Bott Power XR-1
Last time we heard of Bott Power was in March, 2011, when they produced one of the sexiest renderings of their Buell XB motorcycle. The hi-tech moto company from Spain didn’t stopped there, but went on to produce a full running version of this amazing concept! With all the main parts already fabricated – they are currently assembling the bike and putting the final touches to it! Just take a look at the detail of the headlight and the oil cooler – whoa…amazing! Continue reading →

The Black Douglas Motorcycle Co. / Sterling 2012
This is something nice for a change. A very young Italian manufacturer – The Black Douglas Motorcycle Co. – released a vintage looking old-school motorcycle called the Sterling 2012. Although the whole concept is built around the moto designs from 1920′s and 30′s – it uses the modern technology to make it suitable by todays standards. The frame is vintage in design but it’s much stiffer thanks to the modern manufacturing process, and so is the Trapezoid front fork. Continue reading →

KTM Adventure 2013: The First Spy Photos
Thanks to the MCN we are able to glance at the first spy-photos of the new 2013 KTM Adventure bike. Still in the early stages of testing, the new model will replace the already 10 year old KTM990. The engine capacity will increase to 1290cc and it will develop around 130hp – 25hp more than it’s rival – BMW R1200GS. As we are looking at an early stage prototype here the KTM factory needs 18 more months for a full production version. Continue reading →

2012 Husqvarna Baja Concept
We are not sure what to think of Husqvarna at the moment. As the BMW subsidiary, Husky brand is trying to cover the market where there’s no BMW models. This approach led them to the release one of the most un-inspiring new motorcycles in 2011 – the Nuda 900. Clumsy and big, without any real “features” to get a hold of, it carried one important question: who will buy it? On the other side – Husqvarna’s concepts are exciting, creating quite a stir every time they’re released. Check out the latest Baja Concept. Continue reading →

Buy Lazareth Wazuma for 200,000 Euro…
The Wazuma V8F – is another crazy masterpiece from a well known French custom builder Lazareth. Similar to previously built Wazuma R1 (you guessed it – powered by an R1 engine) – this monster of a quad is propelled by a V8 3.0L Ferrari engine! The weight of V8F is less than 650kg, and you have 250hp on the tap – spinning the rear wheels via BMW M3 sequencial 6-speed transmission. You have to have a lot of balls – or no brains to push this baby into the 3rd or 4th gear, let alone in 6th! Continue reading →
