Return of the retro naked
Some of the Japanese manufacturers are are going back to their old sketch books and bringing the old naked models to life, the bikes are being produced using the latest technologies and modern materials with very little changes on the original designs.
Unfortunately we don’t have a market for these retro muscle bikes’ here, i guess we lack the taste or maybe the muscles to handle these bikes.

2010 MV Agusta Brutale 990R & 1090RR
Back to reality
Filed under: Athens, Bad News, Bikes, Crash, Ducati, Fast, Greece, Travel
Watching all these bikers in Athens riding made miss riding a lot, and wanting to go back to Kuwait to ride my bike…the way motorcyclists ride in Athens is as if they are running away from a volcano, it doesn’t matter if they are ridding a 1300cc bike or just the 50cc delivery scooter…they all ride with an attitude.
Am back in Kuwait now and can’t wait to ride the beast, but unfortunately 2 of my friends crashed a couple of days ago, believe it or not they collided into each other…nothing serious just a couple of cracked rips, a broken arm, and a scare.
The above photo is for a used Desmosedici at a Ducati dealer in Athens with only 600km, they are asking 60000 Euros for it.
Get ready girls

Ride in style

I was in Shuwaikh yesterday and noticed a new motorcycle showroom…i looked up to the sign and saw the following brands: Aprilia, PIAGGIO, Vespa, GILERA, and MOTO GUZZI !!!
Parked quickly.. went down to check it out and there it was…a part of Italy’s’ motorcycle history, a showroom full of Vespa scooters, Moto Guzzi, and Aprilia ..
The Vespas’ were irresistible…i don’t know how i resisted going back on one, Vespa is an icon and it doesn’t matter if you are a male or a female, young or old, a house wife or a businessman the Vespa will have your heart skip a beat…this scooter is one of the few bikes that have a style of its own and has maintained its classic and classy looks look over the years.. no visit to Italy is complete without renting a Vespa and riding it on the twisty roads of Sorrento.

The Fighters r here
Passed by TriStar showroom today to pick up some parts a ordered and was surprised to see the new Ducati Street Fighters…they had two bikes the standard one and the S version.
The seating position of this bike is unique…very up front, it’s very narrow and the size of the fuel tank is small which will constantly remind you of its light weight, ease of handling, and gives you confidant to do some stunt riding.
The S is already sold, they also have a pearl white 1198 which look really cool and sold of course.
