“POCKET BIKES" (Mini-Motorcycles


These are “mini-motorcycles”, or sometimes referred to as “pocket-bikes.” They are becoming increasingly popular with young adults in our community, and you may have even seen someone riding one down your street. But are they legal to ride? Are they safe?
A Mini-motorcycle or “pocket-bike” is classified as a motorcycle. However, most are not manufactured to comply with the laws that allow them to be used safely on public roadways. They also cannot be registered as a legal motor vehicle. Accordingly, the locations where they may be legally ridden are very limited. Most retailers don’t share this information with you, but that’s not an excuse for you to be uninformed.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW – (these rules pertain to both electric and gasoline powered mini-motorcycles):

Ducati 1198 and 1198S Superbikes Released


UPDATE: Info on the Troy Bayliss Limited Edition
But wait! There’s more! There’s a reason that the Streetfighter will get the Superbike’s 1098 mills…it is because the Superbike line no longer needs them! Ducati will be bumping the rest of the Superbike line (the 1098R has already made the engine displacement jump) to the newly decided upon 1198cc displacement for the World Superbike regulations. More after the jump.

The 1198S will get the 1198R’s traction control and data aquistiion unit (as also seen on the Streetfighter S). This is the same technology that is being used on Ducati’s MotoGP and WSB competition bikes, with 8 traction settings that limit the output from the mighty v-twin. This ensures that the 1198S/R do not make any tears in the Earth’s crust that allow would Satan himself to rise from the netherwold, and start running a muck of things here on the domain for mortal man.

The Fastest Production Motorcycles In The World


The philosophy behind the Superbike category, which was created half-way through the 1970s, was to race bikes that were very powerful but were in any case similar to production models on sale to the general public. The possibility for the general public to identify themselves with the bikes in this championship that were so close to production models has been the basis for the success of the Superbike category.These are some of the most powerful and fastest Superbikes available in the market ranked by its maximum speed:

Superbikes in India


With Yamaha having launched its R1 and MT-01 in India, bikers have a lot to rejoice. The slow and mundane Indian biking scene seems to be picking up speed. Going further Honda and Suzuki also plan to bring their flagship models to India. Even the Italians...yes the Italians will start selling dreams in India in a few years. MV Agusta has already confirmed that and Ducati is in the planning stages.

Honda VFR750R RC30


The RC30 was the first race-replica that was also a real racer - a homologation machine for Formula1 and World Superbikes. It was a street bike based on Honda's successful RVF superbike and endurance racer. It won the World Superbike championship in its first two years, and was the vehicle of choice for Superbike, endurance and TT racers for years. In fact, RC30s have been spotted doing stalwart work at the Isle of Man even in the late 90's. The RC30 reviewed way back in 1991...
Everything about the bike is so uncompromising; it looks illegal standing still and when you get on it laws cease to exist. It's all to do with minimalism. Less IS more. The Most Important Thing about this bike it its engine. It starts pulling from nowhere and at seven thousand revs growls at you. It heaves and moans and judders for a thousand revs, then goes quiet again, but pulls harder. And then, at 11,000 a hundred screaming maniacs howl at you and you get pushed. Did I like it? Do bears go tra la la la in the woods? If I had the cash I'd definitely buy one.

Honda CBR 600 F4i


Firstly a note for our overseas readers - Australia only receives one version of the CBR 600 and it is the sport model. In Australia it is known as the CBR 600 F4i.
The CBR 600 debuted in 1987 and has proven to be one of the most reliable sportsbikes of the modern era. The 'F' series of road-bikes refers to the model being user-friendly and not an all out sports machine. They say the new F4i has departed from that concept to become a lot more track focused, which this new F4i certainly is, but it has not lost it's user-friendliness along the way.

The Peraves Monotracer combines the features of a sports bike and a sports car and if any of you doubt it, just as a substantiation, it took Peraves some 90 prototypes and 12 million kilometers to be sure that they live up to the rumored repute .

Subaru's first motorcycle: the HS500sa


It's rumored that this bike could be branded a Subaru. Powered by a Fuji Heavy Industries — Subaru's parent company — 500cc single-cylinder engine, it could also herald a new era of challenging-to-ride, low-capacity sportsbikes. While the styling is a bit generic for our tastes, the beefy, Chinese-made frame and swingarm are promising. The whole thing looks very production ready, so expect to see more of it, possibly in a Subaru dealership in Asia, very soon

TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE ANNOUNCED


The bike will be unveiled exclusively to Triumph customers attending the Triumph Tridays event in Neukirchen, Austria on Saturday, 30th June 2007 (www.tridays.com).

The official Street Triple microsite containing more information on the new bike will go live in late June.

Honda NAS (New American Sports)


Designers of the NAS realised that the overwhelming majority of sportsbikes had been initially designed and engineered for the track, Honda bikes included, their intention was to try and offer another option, a sports bike built for the road. The NAS Designers also wanted to create a machine with more personality which would be easier to make a bond with, a mischievous face can definitely be made out hiding in the headlight fairing.However the NAS was not all about form, some of the most ingenious engineering solutions in the motorcycle market were seen on the NAS.For example the unique mono-arm suspension is constructed of carbon fibre and aluminum, with the damper and spring neatly enclosed within a massive steering head.

If you're interested there's also little track I sometimes go to called Circuit d'automobile Croix en Ternoise near Arras which is only like 60 miles from Calais. Makes a pleasant but fairly long day trip and you can usually blag your way on for a few sessions for not a lot of euros plus have a nice ride in the french countryside.

Errant By Guilty Customs



When I asked Carl Hanlon from Guilty Customs to tell me about his latest bike called “Errant”, he sent me the presentation below. I let you enjoy his biker poetry
“Definition: Straying from accepted standards"; Wayward, Sinful, Naughty, Delinquent, Badly Behaved.
Guilty Customs built this low-strung classic chopper to place you where the scenery becomes a blur and every right hand action turns into fast motion. Guilty pleasure and adrenaline! The performance suspension and balance of this bike make this ride unforgettable. The power-plant you straddle is waiting for green. The rear tire attempts to contain all the nervous energy. Point and shoot! The styling has everyone looking while you stop at the light or pass by them. Too bad they can’t keep up. It’s not your problem anymore. You’ve got your own guilt to deal with”.
