Apparently, this guy considers himself a smaller Shaq O’Neal and, so, it is inspired by the famous big guy’s jumps over cars and barbeques to pull out this very stupid and unsuccessful attempt to jump over a speeding Kawasaki Ninja. Now that’s a very nice way of making sure that your family jewels will never be productive again!
We rarely get to see a Norton Commando Transformer and the one in this short film is actually very funny. It is the work of Steve Twist, a student from Bournemouth University, who contacted MCN to help him for this project that he had for his Undergraduate Degree course in Computer Visualisation And Animation. The idea was to use a classic motorcycle and the old Commando turned out to be the ideal solution.
Check out the video after the break and see the final result.
Vespa, the famous scooter manufacturer from Italy, has found a very funny way of promoting their 125cc four-stroke model using the King Kong theme. Of course, this is a distorted version in which the beast fells in love with the machine rather than with the beautiful girl, leaving us wondering how will the gorilla commute on that thing through the urban jungle. Or is the beast only going to polish the Vespa and then stare at it for hours and hours?
As hard to believe as it might be, this is actually a Triumph Daytona 1200 motorcycle built from lego. We do not know the number of pieces involved, but this sure looks like a whole lot of work for a bunch of kids. They all receive an A+ from the TopSpeed team! > More
BMW Motorrad USA provides us with this clip in which American pilot Nate Kern, the official ambassador of the BMW S1000RR superbike, shares his riding impressions of the bike.
The 2008 National ASRA Champion shows itself very delighted after this first test on the all-new BMW S1000RR, which he rode without changing any of the base settings.
By looking at this chick’s “equipment” and attitude, this appears to be the worst case scenario on a Honda CBR1000RR. But surprise! The biker babe takes off gently, allowing us to take a good look at her long heels.
Riders who are simply sick and tired of shiny paint and the multitude of chromed pieces on their motorcycles simply go ahead and turn their usually old two-wheeler into rat bikes. This is one very good example of such a motorcycle and it has a little bit of everything on it.
Only the owner can say what all those accessories are for, but I guess we can suppose that they’re useless, don’t we?
BMW has a funny way of promoting their versatile F800R model in Italy. At the beginning, this clip looks as ordinary as they get, but wait to see the interesting part…because, yes, there is an interesting part as well.
Indeed, the city will look too small from a 2009 BMW F800R.
This video shows an unbelievable towards impossible motorcycle save achieved by AMA Superbike racer Jamie Hacking. What is definitely a scene that will remain in the archives of racing as the “greatest save of all times” happened while the American rider came out a high-speed corner on his Kawasaki ZX-10R and suddenly the bike lost traction of the rear tire.
Despite ending up scrapping the floor at over 120mph, Hacking somehow managed to hold on to the handlebar and the bike miraculously saved the day. The racer ended up finishing the race on a decent podium position (you sure know which that is).
This year, Honda America celebrates its 50th anniversary. Having come up with a special float in the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena earlier this year, followed by a small ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Torrance, California this month, the company now presents a timeline video as well as a press release.
Considering that this comes from a manufacturer of cars, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, power equipment, and racing vehicles, it’s impossible not to notice how the extremely significant milestone doesn’t lead to anything spectacular. Most likely, the retention is due to the global crisis affecting the entire of their fields.
See the video and read the press release after the break.
