World Superbike: Testing, Testing, 1,2,3
Posted on 26. Jan, 2010 by admin.
The first major test of the 2010 season is over and for all accounts it looks like British fans will have a lot to look forward to when the new season gets underway at Phillip Island, Australia on the 28th March. The 2010 season will feature no fewer than seven Brits in the World Superbike Championship with six of those seven riders campaigning for full factory or factory-supported teams. Johnny Rea will start his third season with the Hannspree Ten Kate Honda team and second season in the World Superbike class and the young Ulsterman from Ballyclare will be hoping that he can add to his impressive tally of victories that he amassed in his debut season and have a shot at the World title

Posted on 01.26.2010 15:48 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Harley-Davidson | Harley-Davidson CVO | tourers | limited edition | Motorcycles | Motorcycle Reviews | Harley-Davidson Harley-Davidson has just launched a limited edition run of the CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide for 2010 and their goal is to drift away from the self-created stylistical patterns. A simple look at their new high-end model is enough to see that chrome is almost completely absent. Instead, H-D uses no less than 185 unique black parts, components and accessories, not to mention the Crimson Mist Black / Dark Slate and Flame graphics base color

Posted on 01.26.2010 13:14 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Aprilia | supersports | Aprilia RSV 4 | sexy bikers | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News You really can’t compare a woman’s beauty with that of a motorcycle, but when we saw the pictures of the Aprilia RSV4 and Klara, we thought it’s at least worth giving it a try. The first has a strong heart of 180 beats at 12,500 rpm, it was born in 2009 and benefits of no less than 115 Nm of torque. The second measures 83-60-90, 5.7ft and it is 19 years old

Buell 1125R by Magpul Ronin

Posted on 01.26.2010 11:21 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Buell | custom | parts accesories | Tuners | Buell 1125R | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News Although Buell doesn’t build bikes any more, their 1125R half-faired superbike remains a machine with great tuning potential and we’ve seen some good ones ever since HD decided to kill Buell last year, but none is as good as the Magpul Ronin Buell 1125R with girder suspension. Looking at it, it’s easy to think this bike actually suffered no modifications whatsoever as the girder front end looks similar to the original frame and swingarm, but it completely changes the whole look of the bike. There’s actually much more to it than just the girder suspension, but little information is available and we hear we can’t really hope for a production version as this is pretty much a demonstration of power right here and not quite THE way to go big on the highly competitive market of custom motorcycles.
