Posted on 02.25.2010 08:40 by Maxx Biker Filed under: Yamaha | supersports | Yamaha FZ8 | Motorcycles | Motorcycle Reviews | Yamaha Yamaha has just unveiled an all-new motorcycle joining their supersport family, the FZ8 or the Fazer 800, as it will be called in Europe. A middleweight model powered by a 799cc inline-four engine, the 2010 Yamaha FZ8 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

Posted on 02.9.2010 13:32 by Maxx Biker Filed under: | custom | industry news | innovation | awards | Motorcycles | Motorcycle News Belarus isn’t precisely the destination of Hollywood stars passionate about riding, but it may very well be that soon as in a small shop, Yuri Shif Custom has created the DUster Streetfighter, a multiple award winning custom motorcycle. Starting from a Ducati Monster engine and transmission, the Belarusian builder then fabricated the frame, bodywork and swingarm rear suspension and added a modified Showa fork only to obtain the bike’s unique stance. But as they say, it’s all in the details, so the all white finish with gold and Italian themes is, as strange as it might seem, this bike’s piece de resistance.

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.

This is almost what happened to Swedish Dakar competitor Annie See, who was trying to avoid dust and cut from right over to the left side of the track while traversing a track split. She suddenly found herself riding into a 16-foot deep vertical tomb, so she applied the “abandon ship” procedure and left the bike to rest in piece at the bottom of the tomb.
