Right about now, at least half of all motorcyclists here in the United States have their scooters and motorcycles packed warmly away in the garage. But does it have to be that way

Piccolo Grande: Stretch-limo Vespa?
Posted on 31. Dec, 2009 by admin.
Filed under: Etc. , Motorcycle , Specialty A stretch-limo Vespa may still garner a fist to the face, but this attention-grabbing idea is better than the last flash of brilliance Vespa South Africa Managing Director Andy Reid put into action.

RK Racer Motorcycle - from Buell to chick magnet
Posted on 30. Dec, 2009 by admin.
Posted on 12.30.2009 11:16 by Maxx Biker Filed under: | concept bike | sportsbikes | sexy bikers | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News During the past year we’ve brought to you a lot of concept bikes that we would have loved to see heading to production and some even did, but now in the last days of 2009 we just had to post something about a concept motorcycle that we wouldn’t ever consider riding if ending up being produced. It is not that we don’t like the way it looks, but it is miles away from being comfortable or at least forgiving. Built by RK Concepts of Austin, Texas, the RK Racer is powered by a Buell 1200 V-twin engine and you have to like the way the 27-degree rake and those 23-inch tires make it look, but with the gas and oil tanks made out of glass, it sounds suicidal to ride.

Ridiculous Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R chopper
Posted on 29. Dec, 2009 by admin.
Posted on 12.29.2009 11:07 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Kawasaki | Kawasaki Ninja | choppers | funny | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News Kawasaki has never ever thought at manufacturing a Ninja chopper, but it seems that this owner has taken measures by itself and came up with the bad idea for a chopper. I guess I never really considered how ridiculous a ZX-6R with longer forks and sidestand can look. But looking at the bright side, it is now much easier to pull out a wheelie; all you really have to do is try to get moving.
