Meet the Nude
Nuda 900R is Husqvarna’s new street hooligan machine, the bike is powered by a BMW F800GS engine but Husqvarna has increased the displacement to 900cc to bump out 100hp.
The Nuda looks sexy just like its name, but the question is would it perform like Husqvarna is claiming ?
The Full Monty
Motociclismo magazine revealed some info of the new Ducati 1199, i used google translate and managed to squeeze the following: All new Ducati’s, including the 1199 Superbike will have ABS, the 1199 is frameless, led lights, wet clutch, magnesium air box, riding modes buttons and relocated steering damper.

BMW 2012 lineup
No significant changes in the 2012 lineup, the lineup will only come dressed in some new colors plus a Trophy edition 800GS.
The good news is that the K1300R and the K1300S are here to stay -or at least until 2013-, still the rumors of a 1600cc naked bike are very strong and its said that the bike is 13hp less powerful than the four-cylinder “K” !!
The K1300S will be available in Titan Silver Metallic and in Sapphire Metallic Black, the K1300R will only come in Acid Green Metallic.

Ducati Xtreme
Meet the Xtreme, Ducati’s new superbike …the bike thats gona change the rules all over again just like BMW did with S1000RR.

To know more about Xtreme, you’ll need July issue of Motociclismo magazine.
Super Square
Spy photos and info of the new Ducati 1199 superbike are surfacing around the web, the 1199 was co-developed by Troy Bayliss who has been lapping it at Mugello circuit and according to him it’s a BEAS !! -he managed to match Stoner’s lap time on the GP10-
The bike is called Superquadrata -Super Square- reference to the ultra short stroke of the all new V-twin engine, and as we can see from the spy shots the new bike is a shorter, lighter and much more compact, the new engine will have gear driven cams to maintain the valve timing at high revs.
It’s also rumored that the bike will be frameless -an innovation Ducati patent last year – anyway ECMA is only a couple of month away and thats where we except the new beast will be launched.
Is this the new DUC?
It’s not a secret anymore that Ducati will be unveiling their new 1199 superbike in November, spy photos and concept designs are all over the net but how genuine are these photos is something that we’ll never know before November.
Return of the minimalist legend
I love it when a manufacturer goes back to the old blue prints and bring to life an old great bike, the Vespa PX was born back in 1977, it was the best selling bike at Vespa and now after 34 years the PX is back with the same retro styling, a 2 stroke engine with automatic mixer that meets the strictest Euro 3 standards, a side spare wheel, a kick starter, glove compartment a four-speed gearbox that utilizes the left handle bar grip to shift between gears which should make it much more fun to ride than the automatic ones.
I should start finding a space for this one.
A Little Bit of History
Turbo channel is one of my favorite YouTube channels, although its not very active but i keep going back to watch some of the timeless videos they have.
A couple of years back i posted 3 videos form the channel on the history of Ducati, if you have a couple of hours to spare this weekend then why not visit the channel and edutain yourself with some motorcycle history…the Twist The Throttle series is also available on DVD if you wish to watch it in HD.
Sexy behind
Ducati must have gifted him the bike after this review !!
Since i have not ridden the Diavel yet i can only agree with part from 3:50 to 4:10.
