Aston Martin V12 powered Monster bike


Whenever we hear about Aston Martin, it just reminds us of all that luxury and scintillating performance with V12.
However, a nerd wasn't just satisfied with V12 on four wheels and created something that we often do not see, Aston Martin 6 liter V12 engine powered bike. Well, that's just for that hell of a ride with 425 ponies on two wheels. The bike was displayed at the Essen motor show 2010 and was one of the striking attractions. The horrible sound machine has its tank adorned with the images of Homer Simpson and Springfield Choppers. If you are daring enough to handle 425hp on two wheels, you can ride this monster home for 98,000 euro.

Million dollar Harley Davidson painted in matchless extremity by Jack Armstrong

If you thought four wheels carrying a price tag of 1million dollars is cool enough, then a two wheeler with the same price tag of $1,000,000 is unbelievably cool. And if that two wheeler is a Harley Davidson then it is the perfect cake with red cherry on top. Designed by artist Jack Armstrong who painted the exclusive Harley in a unique style called "Cosmic Extensionalism" doubled up with extreme colors and textures. Jack calls it the Cosmic Starship Harley Davidson and rightly so. The bike was revealed by Bartels (famous Harley Davidson dealer to Hollywood stars) in Marina Del Rey, California.

The bike is completely drenched in Jack's niche art and despite the hefty price tag I'm sure many would be queuing up to own this masterpiece. For exclusivity Jack has placed a small sign on side of the bike saying "If you are not Lady GaGa, Scarlett Johansson or Sylvester Stallone DO NOT TOUCH THIS HARLEY!"

Apparently this is the only motor cycle that Jack has or is ever going to paint, take that for distinctiveness!

2011 Ducati Diavel Unveil

A scant few photos and a quick hit of information about the all-new Ducati Diavel have slipped out ahead of the bike's unveil at EICMA. According to the crew at Hell for Leather, the sculpture you see above packs a full 162 horsepower, 94 pound-feet of torque and tips the scales at a feathery 456 pounds. And that's just the base version. Apparently the Italian moto-maker is also offering a Diavel Carbon version that makes use of plenty of carbon fiber to shed an additional seven pounds from the recipe.

Aside from the pants-soiling power, the Diavel also comes loaded with more technology than ought to be possible. There's a ride-by-wire throttle system, traction control, anti-lock brakes, a keyless ignition and a tank-mounted, light-sensing TFT display packed into the beast you see above. Sounds fun, but we can hardly look at the bike without getting our eyeballs stuck on that epic 240 millimeter-wide tire. Hey, all that power has to get to the pavement somehow.

If you want one, and let's face it, you probably do, you'll have to shell out around $16,995 for the base model and $19,995 for the Carbon iteration.

MINI Scooter E Concepts - First Official Photos

Just after Smart published the first real life pictures of its 'escooter' study, MINI went ahead and released official photos of its take on the pure electric scooter concept.
 To be precise, the BMW Group owned maker will display three individually colored and trimmed versions of its lithium-ion battery-powered scooter study at next week's Paris Motor Show.

One of the Scooter E Concepts is themed after the MINI E electric car, the other is finished in a classic British Racing Green with a brown-colored leather seat and the last pays homage to the UK Mod subculture.

The MINI Scooter Es borrows some styling cues from the firm's automobile range including the headlamp and mirror designs.

Like Smart's scooter concept, the MINI models also utilize a smartphone that slots between the handlebars offering its service as a navigation system among other things.

More information on MINI's Scooter E concepts will be revealed at the Paris Auto Show.

Honda RS125 is officially world’s fastest in 125 category

Honda RS125-powered streamliner with 41bhp has just achieved a mile stone of being fastest in its category. Yes, the feat was achieved by Scott Kolb who rode the bike to get a two-way average speed of 146.77mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats, thus breaking a 27 year old record of 136.1mph. For this purpose, Scoot custom framed the racer and equipped it with radically altered geometry and a 98-inch wheelbase that allows the rider and engine to fit between the tiny wheels.

The custom built bike has the center of gravity barely higher than the axles, which is helped by hub-center steered front end. Other alteration to prepare for the attempt include reducing the Martin Eurosports-built 1996 Honda RS125's power from 41bhp to 36bhp, stretching it 40inches, fitting it with a radically streamlined fairing and water-to-water chillers replaced the un-aerodynamic radiator, which allowed the frontal area to be reduced by one square foot.

Yamaha R1

Driving to work in the morning can be a tedious and annoying affair. At least, we imagine it is, since we are chained to the wall of a basement staring at a computer screen for 23.5 hours per day. One vehicle that can make any commute quicker is a motorcycle... perhaps even a stupid-fast literbike like the Yamaha R1.
Combine a rider with a need for death speed, a 25-mile commute through Russian traffic and a powerful two-wheeled samurai sword, and you get a video showing the "quick" way to work. Sometimes this two-wheeler even becomes a one-wheeler as rare empty stretches of road disappear when the nose goes skyward.

According to our tipster Andy (Thanks!), the title translates to "A couple minutes of my life could be more interesting than the whole life of the other people." It's certainly interesting, but we prefer pushing vehicles to our limit on a track. Regardless, the music choice is excellent and the riding would make Trinity jealous. We don't condone this type of action, but that doesn't mean we can't all check out the video, which you can watch after the jump.
