By our friend and blog contributor Jerry.

That was the feeling when I first set foot in the modest showroom of MV Agusta KUWAIT, seeing the all new 2011 Brutale 1090RR setting in the corner looking for a new bike fanatic owner…..could it be you? i hope not, coz i like to have it for myself…if not lets hope the owner will be a friend and as a result i can take the bike for a spin and write more about this nice peace of art on wheels.

Looks like the RRs are here, am not sure if they are already sold because they are at the workshop and not in the showroom.

The 48

I was at the Harley showroom yesterday, and i was surprised to see the new Sportster 48, i posted about the bike back in Jan when it was first launched and i fell in love with it by just looking the photos.

I was hopping i wouldn’t change my mind when i see it in person, as a lot of stuff  doesn’t look as good in real life as they do in pictures….the 48 did not disappoint me the bike looks even better than the photos with its skinny fuel tank, balloon tyres, under the handlebars mounted mirrors, shorty front mudguard, and low height single seat.

Although the bike comes in three classic paint options, they only brought the black… i really like to see the gray and the orange.

I believe Harley did a good job with the 48, and if you’re shopping for a real retro then look no further.

The new middleweight Monster

April 20, 2010 by · 1 Comment
 

Its official, we have a new member in the Monster family, the 796 Monster….it has the same 803cc engine of the 2010 Hypermotard 796 and its called the Desmodue.

The Desmodue or the Desmo 2 in English is a completely brand new lightweight engine designed to provide the torquey, smooth and enjoyable character of  the L-Twins.

I always thought that the 696 is under powered and the 1100 is overpowered, but now i believe Ducati got the recipe just right with the 796, the bike comes in 13 different color schemes and optional ABS.

Complete specs.

Hypermotard 796

The 796 Hypermotard is almost a clone of the its big brother the 1100, but KG5 lighter… the nice thing about the 800cc engine is that it revs a bit more than the 1100cc, and the power is easier to control while trick riding.

Both the 796 and 1100 are available at TriStar.

The Frameless Motorcycle

March 23, 2010 by · 1 Comment
 

Ducati applied for the patent for a frameless motorcycle, the motorcycle front and back end will be bolted directly onto the engine !!!

This is what Ducati says about the new concept:

“A motorcycle comprising a propelling group or engine, a saddle support, a support for the rear wheel, and a front directional group comprising a handlebar integral to a steering headstock functionally associated to a supporting organ of the vehicle front wheel, wherein such front group is connected to a box-like body incorporating the function of filtering box, constrained to the engine and apt to support the latter by connecting it, therethrough, to said front directional group, said support for the rear wheel and said saddle support being constrained to the engine, the vehicle being not equipped with additional members apt to constrain said engine to such front directional group.”

I guess soon we’ll be sitting on engine heads…mmm, i wonder what are the side effects on male fertility.
