The proper interpretation for “Metal Horse”
This Harley-Davidson Sportster underwent an unusual transformation which may very well bring the behavior from the old west back on modern highways in the mind of the author, of course.
2009 Star Road Star Review
Classic cruisers originated in the Unites States of America and use to represent finesse, beauty and bling, if you will, due to the multitude of chromed elements that they used to feature. Japanese manufacturer’s also jumped in this train when the market started to become more and more demanding and it’s no secret now that [...]
2009 Honda VTR 250 Preview
Until now, Honda built the VTR 250 as a Japan-only model, but the word is out that they plan to sell it in Europe as well starting with the 2009 model year. This is the first picture available of the new model year and it comes accompanied by serious suspicions in what concerns potential upgrades. [...]
Arab biker vs Wall
Remember last week’s video regarding the idiot biker running straight into a brick wall? Well, there’s more. Unlike the last video which was realized with the help of a “professional “rider performing on a closed course, this time a chubby Arab guy wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle and he’s actually pretty good [...]
Is this the most aerodynamic motorcycle ever or what?
The owner of this unusual motorcycle is most likely a Triumph Rocket III fan that couldn’t really afford the real thing, but with an innovative mind and a lot of work achieved his own interpretation of that name.

We’re all aware of the fact that spokeless bikes aren’t quite possible to realize yet, but do insistently knock at our door and we’ll eventually have to open up. As engineers work to develop new solutions for the outrageous design to become practical, designers come up with striking motorcycle concepts ready to benefit of the [...]
A Harley-Davidson motorcycle isn’t just for riding
This video shows a gymnast doing her routine of Harley-Davidson motorcycle and the machine looks like being built precisely for that…although I have a hunch it is good for other things too.
STRIDER Concept is destined for the TV screen
The STRIDER is a concept imagined by designer David Gonçalves at a client’s request of a vehicle for a female superhero cartoon concept. As seen from these images, especially from the drawings, a cartoon concept can require as much work as a real one. Hopefully, the customer liked the concept and we’re going to see [...]
2009 Star Roadliner Review
Basically a stripped down Stratoliner, Star’s 2009 Roadliner qualifies for the ultimate boulevard cruiser not only because of the massive engine powering it, but also due to the glamorous styling and unique riding feel. Cumulating these incontestable qualities, this model has everybody going “yes, it’s a Star” and who are we to disagree? Available both [...]
