i don’t profess to know all about motorcycles, even though at one time, i used to repair reccee motorcycles in the service, but i do know a two-wheel beauty when i see one, such as this Harley Panhead as custom by California-based custom motorcycle builder, Noise Cycles. the fact that this 1952 Harley Panhead has been crowned the ‘Best of Show’ at the top custom bike event in the United States
for the rest of the world, the rebirth of Indian Motorcycles may not be a biggie, but being the America’s first motorcycle company, it is certainly a significant milestones. operating under its parent company Polaris Industries, maker of snowmobiles and all-terrain vehicles, Indian Motorcycles is finally ready to showoff what it has to offer to two-wheeled cruiser lovers after two and half years in the making.
feeling like a boss? well, then Suzuki has the right bike for you: the 2014 Suzuki Boulevard M109R B.O.S.S. actually, the here B.O.S.S. is not the boss, boss, but the acronym for Blacked Out Special Suzuki. and being so named, it does indeed has various parts blacked out, including the rearview mirrors, handlebars, clutch and brake levers, handle switches
Harley-Davidson is pretty much a manly thing but if that isn’t enough, perhaps a stealth makeover should up its manliness ante by a notch or two. well, in this case, stealth does not really mean coating the bike with radar-absorbing material (you know that right?) but it is more of an all out dark, black treatment plus some custom parts and to this end, no one does it…
most of us here are unlikely to be reminiscing about the glory days of the motorcycles of from 1920s and 1930s but that doesn’t stop us from appreciating a good remake of them such as this Janus Halcyon 50 Motorcycle, a bike that pays homage to record-breakers of that era (you know. Brough Superior, Triumph and the likes). the Halcyon 50 features sprung leather saddle…
instant torque and power. yes, those are dreams no more, thanks to the advanced development of purely electric powered motorcycles, these are reality which money can buy. one of the latest to join the electric two-wheeler bandwagon is the Hanebrink Hustler X5 Electric Bike. the namesake sounds sleazy (thankfully, saved by the ‘X5’) and the bike looks like any regular…
nine years and 170,000 units sold. that’s what the current BWM R 1200 GS has achieved and with those figures, it has also become the name synonymous with adventure-touring bike. hence, developing a new successor would be one huge delicate task but that hasn’t stop the Motorrad folks from rolling out an all-new 2013 model. the 2013 BMW R 1200 GS rolls in with…
want the best of off-road and paved road two-wheeled ride? the sad truth is, you can’t really have the best of both worlds and this is particularly true if you are a true connoisseur of each riding preference. though you can’t have the best of two worlds in one bike, you can always get two bikes, each designed for a specific terrain…
are still with custom two wheelers. in fact, customization is the thing that tickles our sense which is what the Yamaha SR400 Custom “Clock Work” did. custom by Japanese custom bike builder, Motor Rock, the first you will notice about this handsome example is its brush chrome finish and an overall aesthetic that’s very unlike…
a custom performance motorcycle without the look is like a powerful computer without a decent casing. give it a mundane case, you won’t feel the kick using it. admit it. this holds true for most of us. but that won’t be the case for the Shaw F1-XLR Harley Nightster, a Harley tricked out by UK-based Shaw Speed & Custom…
can’t decide if you love to two-wheel on tarmac or the beaten dirt tracks? no worries. the new BMW F 700 GS and the updated F 800 GS are just the motorcycles you will need to cope with the rigor of everyday road use while still totally capable of off-road maneuvers when you needed it. equipped with a 768 cc liquid-cooled, twin…
