Basing on the same single-spar, rigid backbone frame and stout swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's more-powerful engines, Harley-Davidson manages to deliver yet another veritable touring motorcycle in the form of the 2010 Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Built with long-haul touring comfort, convenience, and cargo capacity in mind, without drifting away from the unique American style, this model is sure to become an icon of the open road. PRESS (…)

They say that café racers are the ancestors of modern supersport bikes and we all know that these lasts have a reputation of attracting babes like magnets. But this vintage photo of the absolutely beautiful Laverda SF 750 motorcycle reveals that things have been this way ever since the very beginnings. And, by the way, the girls were as daring then as they are now. .

Inspired, most likely, by the always very hard to ride unicycles seen at the circus, the eniCycle excludes the pedaling part from the equation and brings in an electric 1000 watt hub motor that is set into motion by simply leaning your body forward. It relies on mini-gyroscopes (that measure your vertical angle 100 times a second) and on an embedded processor to keep things balanced at all times and that's what makes it so easy to ride. In fact, Slovenian designer Aleksander Polutnik claims (…)

Among Harley-Davidson's 2010 limited-production models, we find the CVO Street Glide not only as a popular hot-rod model produced by the American company, but also as one that is powered by a 110ci (1803 cc) V-Twin engine (the largest-displacement V-Twin engine offered by Harley-Davidson). This is mounted on a single-spar, rigid backbone frame, which works closely together with a new swingarm developed to withstand the demands of long-haul touring riders and today's more-powerful engines.

They say “when in Rome, do as the Romans do,” but it seems that rider Chris Birch simply couldn't conform to the habits of royalty during the Stowe House photo shoot. The fact is that it is aimed to promote Saturday's X-Fighters event at Battersea Power Station and, to be honest, we really don't think there could be a better way of doing that without getting arrested. Chris Birch's invitation to tea at the Buckingham palace was honored in probably the strangest possible way in (…)

It also features other gold parts such as the exhaust pipes, clutch and brake levers as well as handlebar ends and these do contribute at the overall customized appearance, although you don't need to be an expert to spot that there's nothing standard about the way that this Triumph motorcycle (…)

Harley-Davidson thought to the 2010 CVO Softail Convertible as to a limited-production custom motorcycle that will allow riders to customize it (without needing tools) depending on the type of ride they're planning to take each and every single day. So, by adding or detaching key components, the bike turns out being adequate for all-day touring, two-up cruising or solo profiling. Based on the belief that good looks shouldn't affect functionality, the comfortable, modern suspensions are hidden (…)

Riding your dirt bike on the sand dunes is a good choice for a first experience, but it can also turn out being a total disaster if you're not prepared for the jumps that you plan to make in order to impress your friends. This guy not only hurts himself, but also risks the cameraman's life when letting go of the bike with absolutely no sense of responsibility regarding the well being of those around him. Thanks to the good reflexes of the cameraman (the guy wearing a white singlet) nobody (…)
