Aprlia Mana X concept
Having recently gone a little over its hand with the all-new Mana 850 – a typical European naked bike that features CVT shiftless transmission, an electronic ride-by-wire system with multiple throttle maps as well as a helmet storage place instead of what appears to be the gas tank – Aprilia finds new ways of recovering [...]
2009 Honda DN-01 Review
This revolutionary motorcycle is the result of Honda continuously looking to expand their offering and because they’ve pretty much reached a dead end a few years ago, the idea of combining different styles soon came. Practically a stepped up scooter with a low seating position and aggressive design, the DN-01 stands as a combination between [...]
2009 Honda ST1300P/1300P ABS Preview
Obviously, the construction of police bikes is based on the one of standard bikes and the ST1300P/ABS makes no exception. So it is strongly recommended that you don’t try to make a run for it as the engine behind this large baby is a liquid-cooled 1,261cc V4 with DOHC, four valves per cylinder valve train. [...]
A tricked out Honda Rebel by Heiwa
What a radical transformation! The way in which the crew at Heiwa modified this series motorcycle – one related to which you don’t hear many “wows” – is simply amazing and it shows that sometimes the real challenges consist in what is unappreciated and left behind. Details such as the raw heat-forged shifter, the switches [...]

Pitbull Motorcycle Lifts are the perfect items for when you need to do some maintenance work, repair or simply clean up your bike. They allow a full 25″ lifting height and are the most resistant out there. Also, they are capable of a complete 360 degree rotation so you won’t be needed to move around [...]

2009 Honda Gold Wing Preview
The ultimate touring bike carries on to 2009 without featuring any technical or design changes, but does feature the regular fair share of goodies with which Gold Wing customers are already accustomed. A true limousine on two wheels, the Gold Wing comes fitted with airbags, ABS, Comfort Package, heated seats and feet warmers, features without [...]
Aprilia to sell MotoGP bikes
It is now official. Aprilia will sell previous Grand Prix motorcycles ridden by Tetsuya Harada and Jeremy McWilliams in the 1999 and 2000 500cc World Championships. If you are a fan I probably don’t even have to mention that the bikes in case are RSW 500 V2 GP models and simply skip to the number [...]
2009 Honda CRF230M Preview
Honda spotted an unexploited niche in fuel-efficient supermoto-like motorcycles that stand for cheap commuting, user-friendliness and fun so their immediate response is the entirely-new CRF230M model. Because this isn’t quite the machine that would require a whole new category, they’ve added it to the sport lineup only because it goes on the road and not [...]
Video: The Hubless Monster
We recently got a glimpse of the Swordfish Hubless Concept and became enthusiastic about the spokeless wheels idea, but it seems that someone got a head start. The Hubless Monster is actually a running chopper featuring hubless wheels and the implicit advantages of this construction method: more accurate steering, lower center of gravity, increased braking [...]
