M-Org Concept Chopper, the greenest of them all

M-Org concept chopper, the greenest of them all

The M-Org (yes, from organic) is a concept chopper belonging to Russian designer Michael Smolyanov, who thinks of it as to an eco-friendly timeless machine and who is not afraid of showing it as the bike’s green and yellow color combination reveals.

The designer claims that the grown organic materials used for the frame, suspensions and even the steering components are lighter and stronger than classic ones, making the Organic Bike a very special chopper to park on your lawn in the future.

Kawasaki ZX-10R Performance Edition - 2010

Kawasaki ZX-10R Performance Edition - 2010Kawasaki ZX-10R Performance Edition - 2010

The new host of extras that make up the Kawasaki ZX-10R Performance Edition are all official Kawasaki accessories and come with a two-year guarantee.
The Kawasaki ZX10R was changed quite dramatically in 2008, for 2010 ther have been a few further modifications in a bid to perfect this already formidable machine. Its track performance being the main focus. Without any loss of low and mid range performance this all new Kawasaki ZX10R got more top end power than ever before - essentially this is a race ready engine.
Kawasaki ZX-10R Performance Edition gets Akrapovic silencer along with double bubble screen, colour coded seat cowl, mini front indicators, plus tank and knee pads, The silencer gives the ZX-10R a 5bhp power gain.

Kawasaki have designed a type of traction control on this model of the ZX10R that greatly aids grip when slightly too much throttle has been applied by retarding ignition whilst still allowing more experienced and demanding riders the option of allowing the bike to move under them.

The ZX10R comes atandard with a slipper clutch that also works superbly well.

The addition of secondary injectors to feed th ZX10R Power plant that are situated in the new oval inlet tract are there to ensure better throttle response particularly in the high rpm. areas whilst also improving the smooth low end power delivery.

The Speedo/Clock Cluster of the Kawasaki ZX10R has been designed in such a way that rider focus stays longer distance when glancing at the speedo thus ensuring that more time is spent focused on the road.

An adjustable Öhlins cross mounted steering damper with twin-tube design is fitted as standard equipment. The second tube, which acts like a reservoir tank, and the damper internals, ensure stable damping performance even under racing conditions. This race-quality unit was developed in collaboration with Öhlins specially for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.

The major hurdle that faced the design team was to deliver as chassis on the Kawasaki ZX10R that gave the rider every bit of feedback that was required to make this machine a race winner. With this in mind, the services of top level racers were employed to test and retest the machine throughout its development.

It is not often that we see this, but the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is fitted as standard with a hugger that closely follows the rear wheel's lines and protects the rear shock from dirt and debris. Further colour coded options as well as colour coded pillion seat covers are available from the range of accessories that Kawasaki offer for the Ninja ZX10R.

2011 Ducati Martini MotoGP - Valentino Rossi

2011 Ducati Martini  MotoGP- Valentino Rossi
2011 Ducati Martini MotoGP - Valentino Rossi


Oberdan Bezzi has inked another motorcycle sketch, and this time the Italian designer has a modern take on an old school favorite with an Italian twist. Re-imgaging the Martini Ducati design, Obiboi takes the Martini racing theme and has modernized it on a Ducati Desmosedici. True to his roots, Bezzi sees this as being the ideal pairing of brands for the 2011 MotoGP season, and of course only Valentino Rossi himself could be at the helm. The 2011 MotoGP silly season rumor fest is still a ways out; but make no mistake, Italians have some big hopes for next season…despite the fact we still have the entire 2010 season of MotoGP ahead of us first.

Oberdan Bezzi describes (Google translated) his render as the “would be the result of a favorable astral conjunction, a real emergency room! Sponsor a mythical (Martini) with great tradition in the engine high-level entrant into starring in the World Championship, the renewed desire to challenge a champion without peer (Valentino Rossi) and the technical competence of a prestigious brand and hungry for glory (DUCATI )! The ingredients of a dream everything ITALIAN!”

XR1200 is one of the few Harley-Davidson has been modified and the UK-based Adrenalin Moto’s XR1200-based Café Racer looks pretty good to us.

In addition to the various aftermarket and custom-built parts, the XR1200’s crankcases and the front sprocket cover have been powder coated matt black and the swingarm and rocker covers are powder coated in satin black. According to Adrenalin Moto, the paintjob is a replica of Cal Rayborn’s XR750TT racebike and the Café Racer is actually 38 kilos lighter than the standard XR.

2010 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition Pays Tribute to 25 Years of SRADness

2010-Suzuki-GSX-R750-limited-edition-25th-anniversary
2010 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition (SIDE)

Helping celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the GSX-R750, Suzuki GB has come up with the 2010 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition, which sports a retro paint scheme circa 1996 and a Yoshimura GP Evo 111 exhaust. The GSX-R750 appears to be the first GSX-R to get the anniversary treatment, as Suzuki GB is teasing image spots for a GSX-R600 & GSX-R1000 Limited Editions as well.

2010-Suzuki-GSX-R750-limited-edition-25th-anniversary
2010 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition (REAR)

Only 25 of these bikes will be made, each one stamped with its batch number. No word on pricing, but hopefully Suzuki has some sense, and doesn’t price it like Yamaha did with the Rossi Limited Edition R1.
If you’re into the retro 90’s Suzuki look (who isn’t?), this might be the closest you’re going to get for a throw-back. We still would have preferred a ridiculously large SRAD sticker slapped on the bike, but that’s us.

2010 KTM 125 Race
2010 KTM 125 Race

For decades now the sports motorcycle brand from Austria has been engaged in racing series all over the world and by its strong conviction and visible enthusiasm for motorsport has created for itself a unique sporting image. This KTM company philosophy is, without exception, reflected in the series models it produces. The support and promotion of tomorrow’s top riders is also a big KTM tradition. Whether competing in national sport and hobby riding or on the international stage in world championship format; whether on- or offroad, via sports promotional programmes or brand trophies, at KTM, young motorcycle enthusiasts are guaranteed plenty of attention and just the right motorcycle.


2010 KTM 125 Race
In the future, KTM offers the “Ready to Race” young riders the best fun and racing motorcycles and not just for use on closed circuits. As of the autumn of 2009, KTM presents the KTM 125 Project, expanding the Mattighofen, Austria, factory’s engagement in the development of series motorcycles. As well as the model range that includes the “Adventure“, “Supermoto“, “Naked Bike“ and “Superbike“, which has been continually growing since 2003, there is now a sharp focus on the machine for tomorrow’s motorcycle fan and this brings the “125” segment even more sharply into focus. With a new sporty, high quality Naked Bike in the typical KTM design language, the brand enters the segment for 125 motorcycles suitable for registration on the road and in doing so sets new standards. An independent concept within the KTM model palette right from its beginning, the future KTM 125 is conceived by and profits from the enormous know-how of the entire KTM Research and Development Department. In charge of the definition of this package of technology is the same team that has already realized legendary motorcycles like the 690 Duke. Naturally the look of the KTM 125 is a product of the company’s valued partner Kiska Design. This completely new 125 cc generation carries the same conviction and vision for the production of qualitatively the best sports motorcycles and above all stands for one thing: pure riding fun.

Powerful technology

Just as it is for the development of all KTM vehicles, there are clear rules for the KTM 125: as well as a maximum product quality, a purist sporty riding experience stands in the foreground of all production efforts. A minimal weight, best handling and best rideability are the traditional development goals. Not to be forgotten is the powerful engine, 100% developed in Mattighofen, which with 125 ccm displacement ensures plenty of enjoyment. A four valve cylinder head, two overhead camshafts, water cooling and fuel injection means that the basis 11 KW (15 hp) strong 125 cc engine carries all the most modern construction characteristics. As well as an exemplary motor culture, this typical new KTM development promises tingling performance output but at the same time guarantees highly modern levels of fuel consumption and emission characteristics. The motor, which comes in a light, latticed tubular steel frame exhales by way of an innovative exhaust system solution. The perfect KTM chassis solution combines low weight and favourable dimensions with exemplary stability. There have also been no compromises with the high quality suspension elements developed by WP Suspension, the braking system with radial mounted four-piston callipers from premium supplier Brembo and the modern light metal wheels all of which are being used for the KTM 125. The development of the completely new generation of motorcycles therefore delivers all that it has promised to up-and-coming riders. The 125 cc, the exciting Naked Bike “Made in Austria” offers riding fun and all the competence of a full-sized similar machine.

Magpul Ronin: Buell 1125R of the future

The Modification of Buell 1125R-based Magpul Ronin
looks totally cool and extreme

Modification Magpul Ronin-Buell 1125R

The Magpul Ronin, according to its creators, pays homage to classics like the Vincent Black Shadow and to the café racer and streetfighter cultures that so heavily influence its design. The bike’s most noticeable feature is its girder-style fork which, according to Magpul, has led to improvements in rigidity and tunability, and which provides a lighter and more responsive feel up front. And while that might be, we quite like the way it looks, along with the front-mounted radiator and the headlights that have been integrated into the girder fork.



Modification Magpul Ronin-Buell 1125R

The Modification of Magpul Ronin, which weighs about 22kg less than a stock 1125R, is currently an ongoing project and more changes may be incorporated into the bike as the project develops further. Also, there is no word on whether Magpul will ultimately produce a small batch of these bikes for those who may be interested in buying the Ronin. Either way, we have to say we love the way this bike looks. Very cool and extreme
