Most of us have seen or heard about outrageous motorcycles that are built to stand out from the crowd or measure as much as the entire crowd put together, but we’ve never wondered if they can actually be ridden on legal roads at least with the minimum safety precautions.
It seems that somebody has not only considered this aspect, but also came with a solution to it. By its name, the Gunbus motorcycle is the latest creation of Mr. Clemens F. Leonhardt. Also, this is the first world’s biggest motorcycle expected to go into production so imagine how would be to ride one of these things.
Quite a bang, I’m telling you! With a 410-cubic-inch, air-cooled, pushrod V-Twin the Gunbus stays true to its name: shoots like a gun, drives like a bus.
What we’re still waiting to see is the sidecar which is being designed for it, but we’re sure it is going to be another world braking record. Hey, at least you can take the kids with you and know that they’re safer that on a regular bike with sidecar.
But until, the sidecar arrives (or the kids) check out this blonde girl!
Full of defensive, but mostly offensive equipment, the Batpod is the famous two-wheeled machine that helps Batman end up victorious over its enemies in “Dark Night”.
Most Batman series concentrated on the action and we often found ourselves hoping he’ll get back in the Bat mobile and use the damn rocket launcher so let’s hope he spends a little more time on it at least now.
Part of Harley-Davidson’s Dark Custom line of motorcycles, the Cross Bones model brings back the 1970s to our nostalgic eyes. Integrated in the hot rod era, the bike is strongly related to the idea of an open road, cut-sleeve shirt and hand-painted decals on a matte surface. Its promotional video says it all so I invite you to check it out and leave your impressions.
When your kid is tired from riding that rubbish old motorcycle and begs you for a motor powered two-wheeled vehicle, preferably nicer than the one ridden by the neighbor’s child, this is what you come up to.
Using imagination and everything you’ve learned by watching the OCC guys in action, you’ll strip down the old fashioned bike, custom design and build a frame on which the 5 horsepower engine would find its place and, in order to remind him what he left behind, attach the bike’s front wheel to the also custom made forks.
Don’t lose a lot of time designing an impressive exhaust system (it won’t fit on the small bike, anyway), but make sure that you have it custom pained. In this case, Orange was the color of choice with blue flames.
Christmas is long away and the weather is perfect for riding so you won’t have any reason of keeping the thing away from the enthusiastic small rider. After all, it reaches more than 50 mph so it is a real blast, definitely better than what the neighbor has.
Fitted with pull levers for gas and brake, it is the easiest thing to ride, something you’ve wished to have when you were a small child with a thing or two in mind.
It seems that the giant Boss Hoss is by now out of fashion as the Revelation Motorcycle offers pretty much the same performance without disadvantages such as massiveness, heaviness and all the other stuff.
It manages to do that with the blend between a custom bike (looks) and super sport performance (Hayabusa engine). There hasn’t been seen something like this, except on the drag track, but Wayne Ransom hand-builds these things so that they are road legal and the concept has already started to become popular.
Famous custom bike builders can’t stop wondering how a 26-year-old outdone their creations, but in my opinion this was the shortest trip from idea to pure success.
After the unveiling in Madrid a few days ago the Star V-Max makes a whole new entry, which I can say is more characteristic to a muscle bike. Words of presentation seemed to be in vain as the public goes crazy when the beast roars as it does an amazing burnout, proving it has got the torque and horsepower to shred that massive rear tire in an instant.
Yamaha proves to have caught the big wave in 2008 as there has been intensive work being put into the development of the new V-Max and the results are simply fabulous. You will wonder how do we know all that or if this is yet another speculation related to the Yamaha icon when it comes to muscle bikes, but no, this is the real thing fresh out of the drawing board.
Unveiled in north of Madrid on a small airport and accompanied by jet planes flying in formation, the new V-Max is expected to regain its former glory and, of course, remain truthful to the amazing acceleration figures that everybody craves about.
If it will keep on going like this, we will soon see it flying on the sky right next to the Spanish Eagle Patrol.
Although most of the custom motorcycle builders become known for their unique approach towards the bike’s design, nobody actually eradicates the general form that we got used to. I am referring to the creation’s basic elements which have their places established from the very beginning even though everything starts with a clean sheet of paper. The bike in the image clearly has the most radical design and the fact that it can also be ridden sure means a lot. A true collection (...) >> read
