Harley-Davidson launched a video presenting their 2010 lineup and inviting their riders (better said, their future riders) to start living free in the true American style because these motorcycles have long been representing the new land with pride. Arguing that “freedom ain't quiet,” HD also invites you to make your statement at http://h-d.com/freecountry and if it's among the best, you'll even see it used on banners promoting their (…)

What originally started as a Triumph Bonneville TR6 ended up in the hands of the WrenchMonkees crew in Copenhagen, Denmark and was completely transformed to suit the style of one lucky customer, who ordered it. Although this custom bike builder seems to follow no pattern when trying to get the best out of each specific bike, we did notice that – like on most of their creations – this Triumph's engine has been completely rebuilt and it now has a Morgo 750 cc kit installed. Fed through Amal 930 (…)

As promised, Aprilia officially unveiled the brand new RSV4 R this past weekend at Imola WSB in Italy. Of course, Max Biaggi was there and he got to ride the budget version of the RSV4 Factory, while the press got the chance to take a first look at the final specs and price of what is claimed to be “the world's most exclusive motorcycle.” Introduction The basic principle behind this new Italian motorcycle was to retain the original engine performance of the Factory model and yet replace (…)

The Albura 125 is Javier Almazor's wooden scooter concept built around a monotube chassis housing the fuel tank, a multitubular subchasiss with a progressive rear suspension and powered by a 125 cc four-stroke engine. It pretty much looks like an average Aprilia scooter to us, but the wood laminated body does help it stand out straight from the drawing board. Here you have it. SPECIFICATIONS Engine: One cylinder 125cc 4T water cooled, simple over head chamber and four valves. (…)

A month ahead of the Tokyo Motor Show, Honda unveils their own approach towards the idea of a personal mobility device, a funky little unicycle that they call simply U3-X. This invention is based on ASIMO research, so it features an incline sensor that detects the leaning angle based on the rider's weight shift and reacts according to direction and speed requirements detected. Making it possible for the user to go forward, backward, side-to-side or diagonally are a series of small wheels (…)

When the team at WrenchMonkees got their hands on a 1974 Moto Guzzi 850T they immediately started pointing out the bike's café racer potential and ended up transforming it in their Copenhagen workshop until the overall result was worthy of their standards. The original 60 horsepower engine and transmission were kept, but the custom motorcycle builder brought in their own rearframe, seat and fender, while the aluminum racing tank was supplied by WBO. A nice finishing touch is given by the deep (…)

The 2010 Honda Gold Wing comes more like a disappointment rather than the interesting new entry that the public had been expecting simply because the world's ultimate touring motorcycle features no new technical innovation or design change that is characteristic to the class it proudly dominates and to it only. While remaining as reliable, comfortable and powerful as the previous generation model, the 2010 model year is a bit safer and the new color schemes still manage to make the bike (…)
