We’ve had the opportunity to see a couple of modified Hayabusa motorcycles and a longer swingarm or NOS system was nothing out of the ordinary, but when you get a glance of this chromed-up beauty, there’s nothing to take your eyes off it. This mirror of a motorcycle was spotted at the BMF Rally in Peterborough, UK.
When it comes to the number of horsepower on something that goes around powered by a Hayabusa engine the possibilities are hard to imagine and practically endless, but until now there is no naked bike to compare with this Suzuki B-King.
Its 430bhp set is apart from any other motorcycle and get it even closer to its cousin, the Hayabusa, a bike known for its affinity for tuning and especially turbochargers. And this is exactly what this B-King received: a turbo charger. Suddenly, the previously considered impressive 1340cc and 181 hp on the stock look weak and make you think on mounting such a thing on your new bike, but I would recommend you not to if fitted with wife and children. Turbochargers are not good for your marriage!
Roger Allmond is a passionate bike builder who thinks that the standard Rocket ||| is simply not enough for the most demanding of you out there so it practically built a new, lower and shorter bike which retains only the Rocket ||| powerplant.
It doesn’t have a name yet, but with the six months that were required for its building, it definitely has background. Already commissioned by Bennets Insurance, the unique Rocket retains from the original bike the engine and fuel injection system, the wiring and the shaft final drive. It looks radical and futuristic but we reckon that its looks speak for the way it performs.
This tricked out Kawasaki ZX-6R comes as a result of AMA Supercross champion James “Bubba” Steward.
Produced by Two Bros, the Kawasaki ZX-6R of Bubba includes many mechanical modifications including the most impressive under-the-seat exhaust I’ve ever seen.
The rims look like taken from a Cadillac and the graphics are truly exceptional, but why don’t you check it out yourself?
Truly beautiful, the new ZARD exhaust systems for the Triumph Street Triple are available in both versions created by Zard racing. The tuner has achieved a full kit featuring 3X1 silencers lateral side saddle in three different types of materials: steel / aluminium, steel / carbon and titanium demand.
Technical Characteristics: 40mm pipe diameters, complete stainless steel kit weight: 4.7 Kg, + 5 hp version with full kit racing.
The systems will be ready for commercializing next week, but until then I invite you to take a look at them in the photo gallery and even hear them in the two videos that I attached below. Tune up your speakers and imagine how you will feel on something that sounds like that!
Recently we’ve been publishing reviews about Buell’s 2008 Lightning models and now I’ve come across one special Lightning XB12Ss which has become a radical street fighter.
It’s called the special ThunderBuell and it was built by the Germans from Thunderbike. The base motorcycle is an XB12Ss, but if you’re expecting at a price situated around $15,000 you should reconsider and double the amount because in a happy case this is the least you’ll pay for (...) > More
Short commercial, kind of like things go around at Redwood: in and out, clean and simple. "Now here’s you’re upgraded bike Sir!" ...and the answer: "I’ll be damn!"
Milan Workshop Pettinari has presented the Special Triumph 675 R Street Triple of February at the Bike Expo 2008.
In order to deliver a radically improved naked bike that would stand out at any show, Enrico Pettinari was supervised by its father, Domenico, and his brother, Charly resulting into a unique looking Triumph.
Carbon fiber is preponderant and the paint scheme is truly unique, but the pictures really speak for themselves. Enjoy!
Yacouba Galle, a former motorcycle journalist, and Laurent Dupas designed the MV Agusta 910 Bestiale which was unveiled at the Paris bike show in October, 2007.
The Bestiale is based around a Brutale 910 rolling chassis, wheels, suspension and engine, but the bodywork is all new.
With its robust male face and hooked back, it is hard to define the precise race of this wild beast. The BESTIALE is fitted with diode headlamps, an ultrashort exhaust and carbon elements, just what it (...) > More
