They don't look comfortable or practical, but they sure look purty.

Except the Victory. Ugh. What is that - a corporate death-rattle?

[Blue Jays]

Hi All-

Judge Dredd rode one of those Victory Vision motorcycles nearly eleven years ago.

Motorcycledom's answer to the Aztek.

I like the Ducati. That Victory bike is awful. What were they smoking over at Polaris?

[BigTex5]

I prefer the Munro Special.

[Dark Skies]

Here's the future...thx to Segway technology...

Say MF ~ what's the name of that strange motorcycle that has an in-line 4 with two crankshafts, with two cylinders turning in opposite directions for prefect harmonics.

The last four letters of its name are CRYZ or something like that ~ It isn't in production yet and they've upgraded the design?? :):)

[Emmalein]

I like the winner...it's got crisp, clean lines. I wonder how it rides?

[FreedomFarmer]

Ducati Hypermotard

Ducati Non-ritalan injected special needs cycle.

Anyone?

[Rakkasan1]

please add my to the hooligan biker list

[Rakkasan1]

kinda looks like the new Yamaha MT-01. I want one of those
or a new Speed Triple.

[martin_fierro]

Done!

[BraveMan]

This probably isn't it.


Kawasaki has a 650cc Parallel Twin concept, the ER-6N shown above, rumoured to be filled with mechanical weirdness.



Then of course, there's the Suzuki Boost King Concept, featuring a turbocharged version of the 1300cc Hayabusa motor, in case you're in a hurry.

[BraveMan]

The Suzuki Stratosphere Concept, with an 1100cc, inline six-cylinder engine and a claimed 180hp.
Can you say Katana? I knew you could . . .


Concerned about losing ground in the Ugly Motorcycle competition, BMW countered with the F800S . . .

I think I'll go add some chromey thingy to my Dresser . . .

[uglybiker]

Blackie. You wouldn't be talking about Neander Motors, would you?

[JoeSixPack1]

WOW!! Outstanding!! I want one!

[martin_fierro]

ACH DU LIEBER!

Das ist Shveeet!
