The Two Wheeled Fascination

August 31, 2011 | Superbiking |

A wise man once said “For some there is therapy, for people like us there are motorcycles”. Although it may not make sense to everyone but to a selected handful amongst this world, including me would regard this to be the most inspirational quote of our lives.

The Two Wheeled Fascination Sriram Sridharan

Motorcycles, to the common man are cheaper alternatives to cars and other transportation vehicles that do a simple task of taking a person or object from point A to point B. But for enthusiasts, they play an entirely different role. Motorcycles to me are a new way of life. It’s an obsession, a craze, a new adventure to embark upon. Every time I see one, I can feel the adrenaline rushing through my veins.

It was way back in 2000 that for the first time I experienced the feeling that there was something special about these two-wheeled crotch rockets. It was on my neighbour’s terrace, a poster of a silver Aprilia RSV Mille, one of the fastest and most desirable superbikes of its time.

The First Front Wheel Burnout on a Motorcycle

August 26, 2011 | Off Topic, Sportbikes |

Front Wheel Burnout!! Yes….. this is real.

Incredible Front Wheel Motorcycle Burnout!

Judging from its upload date on YouTube, this isn’t exactly a new video; but since it’s new to us, we thought we would share in what we’re pretty sure is the world’s first front-wheel burnout on a motorcycle.

This unlawful exhibition of speed was perpetrated by the twisted minds down at Roland Sands Design, at their happy hunting grounds near the LA river.

The front-wheel drive system comes from Christini (not Ducati Corse), while RSD’s Rodney Aguiar built the 450cc super single motorcycle that AWD system is mated to for an episode of Nitro Circus. Check the video out after the jump.

Ever since we heard about the new 2012 Ducati Superbike, we’ve been marking the days until we could see the v-twin sex machine in the flesh.

2012 New Ducati Superbike 1199 To Be Launched

There’s no denying that the specs being banded about on the new Superquadrata motor are impressive, as the new bike is expected to make up to 20hp more than the current Superbike 1198 (though peak performance numbers only tell one side of the story). Also intriguing is the MotoGP-derived stressed-airbox chassis arrangement, which finally does away with the iconic trellis chassis, though has caused some problems for Valentino Rossi on his move to Ducati Corse.

DUCATI’S 2012 superbike can’t really be described as ‘secret’ any more having already graced the front pages of bike magazines worldwide in various states of camouflage. But it’s still looking like it will be the most interesting new model to be launched later this year and the latest shots reveal a few more details.

Just last month we got our first look at the new Superbike prototype, as Ducati leaked first a Supersport spec >> Read More

2012 Ducati 848 Streetfighter Launching Soon

Due to be publicly unveiled at the world-leading Milan Show in November, the new bike – spied – is clearly in production-ready trim and borrows heavily from the bigger 1098 Streefighter with styling cues taken from the 748/848 sports bike series.

As can be seen here, the new 848 Streetfighter’s rolling chassis is based heavily on that of its bigger brother although suspension, brakes and other cycle parts are >> Read More
