This retired scrambler has clearly had better days, but continues serving the owner in a way that reflects his long gone days of glory. Would you do this to your motorcycle when it will break down for good? .

What you see here is the production version of the Honda CB1100 concept presented back in 2007. Although Honda doesn't say a word about it apart that it will be officially unveiled at the Tokyo Show next week, we can already notice that there are no significant differences between the concept and production form of what is expected to be a fresh new approach towards the original idea of an inline-four cylinder motorcycle. The Honda CB1100 Customize concept shown in red in the picture (…)

Although Kawasaki never designed the Versys to be a naked, but a middleweight sport-touring motorcycle, WrenchMonkees have come up with their own approach towards the original Japanese idea. They got rid of the strange looking headlight and half fairing then brought not only their own headlight and headlight brackets, but also a new front fender, Rizoma handlebar and clamps as well as front and rear turn signals. Further enhancing the bike's now much sportier nature is the WM seat, while the (…)

We rarely see a year pass by without Honda improving their motocross bikes and because 2010 isn't the exception, the new CRF250R is now claimed to be an even faster way to get around the dirt track. Both the engine and chassis upgrades back up Honda's immense expectations from this revolutionary motorcycle, so let's just see how. Introduction The reason why we talk about Honda revolutionizing the dirt bike segment is the entirely new 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke (…)

Daredevil Ryan Capes flew his Kawasaki dirt bike for 300ft during the Street Vibrations event at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada and so managed to set a new world record that would make Evil Knievel damn proud.

It seems that Marco Melandri itself advised German builder Hoely to develop this MotoGP kit for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R as the racing bike's rider believes the original bike can easily be turned into a MotoGP replica for the road by customers who had enough of the standard color schemes and graphics. We have to admit that the Italian MotoGP rider thought well and the Germans were clever in following his ideas because bikes are pretty much like cars: you buy them new, drive/ride them for a (…)

The WrenchMonkees team gave a unique touch to this late 1970s Kawasaki Z 750 B not just by rebuilding the engine and adding their very own megatron mufflers, but by turning classic into custom using what we begin to consider the WM routine. This implies a new rearframe and fender which help at giving each of their bikes a unique look, while the aluminum battery box helps at meeting the customer's requirements. Good looks are part of just a point met on the Copenhagen-based builder's check (…)

Ahead of Brutale's 10-year anniversary, MV Agusta introduces the new 990R and 1090RR models, which are claimed to be 85 percent new. Although the bikes don't look different at all compared to the previous generation, they actually feature the same redesigned headlight, instrument cluster and instrumentation, handlebar, rear view mirrors, key block as well as bodywork and technical fittings. But things go “from bad to worse” when trying to spot performance gains and weight losses because there (…)

In Bucharest, Romania bikers know how to have fun and get their motorcycles cleaned up in the same time. The trick is to organize a sexy bike wash right on the side of the road, then lay back and enjoy the sight. This Biker's Club brought in 6 very beautiful girls who washed no less than 10 motorcycles, a few ATVs and even a car in a single day, charging an average $130 per vehicle. Sounds like a fair deal on both sides if you consider the striptease shows that follow after a hard day of (…)
