R.I.P.........


One Weird Honda

1984 Honda Wanted to impress the competitors and the public so they did build a V4 NSR500.. But that wasnt enough, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki already run 4 cylinder two strokes since the late 70s.. Honda fliped the tank and the pipes... so the tank went downstairs and they had to use fuell pumps to deliver the race gas upstairs to the magnesium carbs and the out take moved upstairs covered by a fake fuel tank cover!!! Spencer never liked the bike... He even switched to his trusty V3 and won races... his excuse? The bike was perfectly balanced when was full ov fuel since the center of gravity moved way low.. but by the mid part of the race the fuel start to get lower and the weight moved on the top where the pipes where.. The bike had a poor handling on the final laps due to the center of gravity. Honda Moved the bike to the museum and replaced it with a very competitive NSR500 and NSR250.. Spencer won both Championships the following year!!

DR-V1000SM

Ok we already know that Aprilia getting ready to introduce a mega motard later this year but how about the japanese? We all know that Suzuki tries to be on top either with cutting edge sportbikes (GSXR1000 K7, New hayabusa,RMZ450 with FI etc ) I think they are going to be the first japanese company with a Hypermotard answer... they already have a nice motor (SV1000-650) a versatile frame (Vstrom-SV) the only thing they need is RMZ styling and .. here is a nice looking decent priced mega motard!!!! PLEASE SUZUKI

XRF650R

Well Honda doesn't list a 2008 XR650R on their line up and usally the XR lineup shows up first since the only changes are BNG (Bold New Graphics!) If you visit the official Honda website www.honda.com you are not going to find the same machine that been around for the last 7 years. I think honda is ready for something new in this category of Big bore off road bikes.

How about an updated XR650motor with e-start. Alloy frame very similar to CRF series and similar styling! I think honda will have a winner!!!

Katana Legends

If suzuki lelease a bike like this ill be first in live to get one...

If you have the Cash you can contact http://www.k-unicorn.com and have one made for you...

1400S (gsx1400 motor)










1200S (bandit 1200 motor)


2009 Suzuki Stratosphere 1100

Yes, the Suzuki Stratosphere 1100 is going to be in the showrooms in 2009. The two videos above show the much awaited Suzuki Stratosphere 1100 in action, which is now rumoured to be launched in 2009.

Facts on the Stratosphere:-An exceptionally smooth, all-new 1100cc inline six-cylinder engine with around 200 horses on play. -Mated to an automatic gearbox, but the 'box will allow the rider to shift gears manually too.-Keyless start, colour LCD display panel, LED headlamps, GPS and advanced anti-theft features

Looks like a modern Katana1100

Does Yamaha Listen?

Here is a proposed design for the Yamaha FZ600S model back in 1997(Tokyo Motor Show)... Never went into production such a shame!! I believe this one of the sexiest Yamaha's ever made... maybe now is time for something radical as this... Come on Yamaha Make dreams come true!!!


A Future Classic from Kawasaki


Although this is just a special made somewhere in Japan using an old GPz750 and parts from a ZX6R and 10R I believe a bike based on the old GPz look would be Popular... I just think the Origami style Z1000 and Z750 are a bit boring!!!
