Suzuki plays an important role in the dual-sport class, like always before, with the V-Strom 1000 model. A bike designed for all kinds of roads and all kinds of riders, this is without a doubt a benchmark of versatility and comfort with many secrets yet to be unveiled by every rider individually. > More
Damco rim lights were designed by Repeat Offenders sportbike club in order to add a custom touch to their bikes and now are available for sale all over the United States. The lights fit all Suzuki GSX-R and Katana models and require no drilling, neither removing the rims as mounting operations.
For the moment, they are available in three stand-out colors: Red, Blue and White. One kit includes enough lights to do front and rear rims and costs $195.00.
Note: 10% of every purchase goes to help families of fallen riders.

Suzuki introduces the 2009 1250S and 1250S ABS models with little, but notable upgrades even though at a first glance nothing seems to be new on the bikes. A full fairing wouldn’t suit it well so designers haven’t got much work to do this year, at least in what concerns the Bandits. > More
Designed by Marcus Carlsson from Sweden, the new concept is a combination between Suzuki’s TL1000S and a Husqvarna roadracer from the 1930s.
A ‘café-racer-going-on-superbike’, as its creator likes to consider it, the machine features a donated TL1000 V-Twin front fork and engine with a futuristic looking exhaust. The rest was just labor and passion concluded in 1,200 hours of work.
Don’t get too caught up by the next picture. Simply scroll down and hear that engine idling.
Suzuki’s solution for those who just start riding and look for something in between the standard and cruiser style is the GZ250 model, a versatile and easy to handle small motorcycle able to introduce a large category of riders to this continuously growing world. > More
BMW has entered the final stage before showing the green light for production in what concerns the S1000RR superbike.
Caught testing at Albacete, the new bike features details such as the graphics, indicators and number plate hanger and, as MCN reckons, an ABS system is now certitude. Also, the S1000RR is expected to have two separate LCD readouts providing information about the bike’s systems such as traction control and the previously mentioned ABS.
Watch out, biker flying! Now this is a stunt that goes absolutely perfect and yet the bike is wrecked and the rider rolls down the ground. How is that possible? Perfect timing and understanding of the laws of physics in the hard way is the key.
Notice how the rider separates from the bike just before it hits the car and how it crouches its way to the mattress. That, together with the exact 60mph speed is the only thing that’s known…the rest is equipment and a lot of training.
I can’t believe the guy actually know on which side are the spectators that got a closer eye on his stunt.
Suzuki has found a very…uncharacteristic way to approach the U.S. market in the entry-level standard segment. After the amazing success of the B-King, the Japanese maker shows the ideal bike to start on and simply satisfy your commuting needs and hour later… after obtaining your license, that is.
By its name, the TU250 is a profitable way for Suzuki to head on as more and more people turn to motorcycling as a result of financial crisis.
Having introduced the 2009 range of sport and naked bikes, Triumph now presents a promotional video inviting riders to go their own way. The video features the new Street Triple R among a multitude of choices: Daytona 675, Street Triple, Speed Triple, Tiger and Sprint ST.
In order for riders to avoid becoming the victims of Grand Theft Moto they are now offered a very efficient anti-motorcycle jacking solution. Called the SkyBrake, the system is composed from two devices, a small transmitter which you must always carry on your body and a receiver playing the role of an immobilizer which is mounted to the motorcycle engine.
Knowing that, let’s imagine the next scenario: You are happily commuting in New Mexico, let’s say, and stop at a traffic light. A hijacker separates you from your bike and rides away with it. Normally, this would be a good time to call the cops…or start crying, but that’s not the way a true biker works things out, doesn’t it? The thief won’t manage to shift second and the engine will be cut out by the engine blocking module so that you can recover your bike unharmed.
The system is sold for €250 and it is 100% efficient as long as you don’t make the mistake of fitting the transmitter also on the bike.
