Posted on 03.16.2010 09:58 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Yamaha | roadster | Yamaha FZ8 | Motorcycles | Motorcycle Reviews | Yamaha We just previewed the all-new Yamaha Fazer8 and got jealous on those lucky Europeans getting it and it is now time for the 2010 Yamaha FZ8 to enter the scene and we’re starting to get angry about this. Why should only riders from the old continent enjoy the aggressive naked looks and 800cc middleweight performance in a package claimed adequate for various riding necessities from city commuting and weekend journeys to burning rubber in an old and abandoned factory.

Posted on 03.15.2010 14:51 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Moto Guzzi | custom | industry news | parts accesories | Tuners | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News We’ve recently been introduced to what we’ve come to consider one of the coolest café racers to lately arrive on the custom motorcycle scene. Originally a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP powered by a 60 hp air-cooled 948cc v-twin motor, this bike is now a veritable café racer, but still reminiscent of the late ‘70s, early ‘80s period. Built in four months by Filippo Barbacane of Officine RossoPuro , this 1000 SP is now a better bike from all points of view: its aggressive new stance with the Tarozzi bars and foot controls make it an eye-catcher wherever you ride and the engine gets Le Mans 1000 cylinder heads and custom Officine RossoPuro exhaust system for a sportier sound and more power.

Posted on 02.25.2010 08:40 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Yamaha | supersports | Yamaha FZ8 | Motorcycles | Motorcycle Reviews | Yamaha Last month we announced the unveiling of an all-new motorcycle joining Yamaha’s supersport family, the Fazer8 as it will be called in Europe, its targeted continent. A middleweight model powered by a 799cc inline-four engine, the 2010 Yamaha Fazer8 has come to replace the FZ6 model and it does it in the characteristic style of the series, meaning you get a half fairing and the bike finds itself positioned on the thin line between track-gained performance and a comfortable riding position
