Suzuki happily looks towards the future as it has extended its agreement with Intelligent Energy and has plans for developing hydrogen fuel-cell motorcycles which with a little bit of luck will soon be entering production.
The closest thing found to such a product is the Suzuki Crosscage. This hydrogen fuel-cell powered concept delivers comparable power with a 125cc motorcycle in the same category, the only difference between it and its competitor being the fact that the emissions (...) >> read

It is not the hardest thing to start, neither a smoke machine so this makes the main character of this video wonder why the idea isn’t approached when it comes to mass production. There are advantages (awesome low end torque) and disadvantages (noise and powerful vibrations), but just look at it go!
Students at the University of Nottingham in U.K. are working on a school project which could revolutionize the way people will learn how to ride bikes in the near future. It concerns a pioneering motorbike simulator which does everything by the book. But let’s better let the students themselves explain. After all, they know best.
Called the Roof R06 Bamboo, this motorcycle helmet was created by a French designer named Claude Morin and it stands for innovation while proving that technology doesn’t always have to be so complicated.
The bamboo fiber is simply braided together and it remains thick and safe enough to meet the European E22-05 standard referring to the protection offered by motorcycle helmets.
In fewer wards, if you are having second thought about wearing this limited edition helmet, you will probably have the opportunity to take some funny pictures of the guy that does wear the thing.
Created by a Canadian company suggestively named Bombardier, the Embrio Advanced Concept plans on being bombarded starting with 2008 onto the city streets as a small, light, easy to ride and, most of all, fun unicycle.
It may look strange and futuristic, but the first thing a buyer would know even before it would get on it is the fact that this commuting solution generates no emissions as it has an electric motor that runs on hydrogen power. Does it say “Rotax”? Nice!
But once you do (...) >> read

Ever since we’ve been doubtfully looking at the strange looking motorcycle that meanwhile became familiar to our eyes, we’ve been wondering and throwing opinions related to the price for which it will be marketed.
Now, our suppositions have cleared up and Brammo has announced that their Enertia will be sold for $15,000. There is no doubt that you’ll be riding a unique looking, performing and hearing motorcycle, but doesn’t this look like a bit too appreciated product?
Its maker has also announced the introduction of a production version of this first model for the summer and that will be priced at $12,000. Ok, so we’re progressing. A few steps further and we’ll be all riding plug-in motorcycles like we were riding the Vespa. It is not the most appropriate comparison, I know, but this is technological evolution my friends and we’re all in it.
Everything coming from Germany is supposed to be top notch, but what happens when people get bored of the regular? The Satte Literschüssel happens!
Old time motorcycles have never looked this outrageous now that the strangest combination has reached our surprised eyes: A Duetz tractor engine mated to a Harley transmission and running gear while the fork looks like it was made by the Romans.
So if you suppose that the guy that built this will ride the thing, you’re right, but I (...) >> read
