After showing its unique 1200 VR6 roadster concept bike at the INTERMOT motorcycle show last fall, Horex’s designers and technicians have been very busy. Want proof? According to a press release and photo from the German company that is resurrecting the Horex name, prototypes are currently being tested on the [...]
The Piaggio Group recently held a big dealer convention in Monte Carlo. The main purpose of event was the introduction of a new generation of light vans and trucks that represents a profitable branch of activity for the Italians. But there was also a section of the event “for Piaggio [...]
[ Fact or fiction? Yamaha says “photochop” but it is a convincing job. Only time will tell if the 2012 WRs will have any YZ450F-inspired features like the reverse cylinder head and rearward-slanted engine. ] When this photo of what appears to be a Yamaha WR250F off-road bike magically appeared [...]
Ducati fully plans to capitalize on the arrival of Valentino Rossi to commercialize the extraordinary carbon-fiber monocoque frame first debuted on its GP9 desmosedici MotoGP bike. This next step in the quattrovalvole superbike family evolution is more like a revolution. Indeed, the trademark tubular steel trellis frame will no longer [...]
Apparently, Husqvarna never sleeps. First, a completely new line of enduros and motocrossers were shown in Cologne last month. Now, at EICMA, the Italian motorcycle maker unveiled a new family of supermoto machines. But the real Milan show-stopper was a lean, mean concept powered by a 1000cc Triple sporting red [...]
Okay, the world’s finances could be in better shape, but October’s INTERMOT show proved that development continues on exciting new motorcycles. In Cologne, Germany, European manufacturers were pushing technology boundaries like never before. New bikes from BMW (K1600GT/GTL), Triumph (Speed Triple), KTM (Duke 125), Ducati (848 EVO, 1198 SP) and [...]
Looks like Suzuki went and did it again — shrunk the GSX-R, that is. This spy photo, shot mid-September in Southern California during a closed-gate racetrack testing session, reveals what appears to be an even more compact sporting platform from the Japanese bike maker. Either that, or Suzuki has hired [...]
Rumors, “SPY SHOTS” and controlled leaks continue to surround Triumph’s pair of mid-displacement adventure bikes in the Tiger/BMW GS/Multistrada idiom. We conjectured Triumph’s 675cc Triple could be bored and stroked to as much as 825cc or so, the better to compete with things like BMW’s F800ST/F800GS—large and not-so-large Adventure machines [...]
After amateur spy shots of Ducati’s secret musclebike appeared on the Internet, England’s Motorcycle Newsstaked out the Bologna factory and snapped the pictures you see here as the as-yet unnamed 1200cc V-Twin underwent an evening of final prototype testing. The new Ducati will be unveiled at this November’s Milan motorcycle [...]
BMW is at last releasing edible tidbits about its new six-cylinder K1600GT and GTL super-tourers. Concept studies began in the fall of 2009, centering upon delivering maximum comfort and non-tiring smoothness. Why a Six—and an inline-Six at that? Because they are the smoothest of engines. With their crankpins at 120-degrees, [...]
