Buell Heavy Bikes Photos

Eric Buell founded the company that bears his name in the late 1980s on very much the same idea. He took Sportster engines and mounted them in exotic sport-style chassis, which resulted in bikes that were decidedly different than anything then being offered.


Since that time, the Sportster engines Buell uses have been treated to significant changes that result in greatly increased power, but the chassis designs remain that of a high-riding "crotch rocket" sportbike.

So what John Dawson did was take a Buell motorcycle and swap its tall, sportbike chassis for a low-slung hardtail frame by MC Worx. The original Buell forks d Barke were refitted, and John adapted a host of new hardware to create a low-slung bullet. Chief among them is a small bikini fairing incorporating twin headlights.

The result is a machine that bridges the rather wide gap between sportbikes and choppers. But in simplicity of design and unique treatment, John just did Eric Buell one better.




The Buell line is expanding on the 1125R with the new Buell 1125CR "cafe racer," a more street oriented version with lower gearing and a flyscreen instead of the higher fairing. The engine has been tweaked slightly with new fuel and spark maps, the new maps will be available for the '08 1125R. Judging from the 1125R's performance so far on the track, this 1125CR should be a real contender on the street.


Buell brings superbike performance to the streetfighter category in 2009 with the introduction of the 1125CR, a new model featuring a modern interpretation of “café racer” styling and the power of the Buell Helicon 1125 liquid-cooled V-Twin engine. The 1125CR is one of nine 2009 Buell Sportbike, Streetfighter, Adventure Sportbike and Blast models
Part superbike and part streetfighter, the 1125CR is my vision of a 21st century café racer,” said Erik Buell, chairman and chief technical officer at Buell Motorcycle Company. “It’s got Clubman-style bars and a flyscreen instead of a fairing. Then we geared it down to optimize acceleration. With a class-leading weight-to-horsepower ratio, the 1125CR takes streetfighter performance to a new level.”

Also new for 2009 on the 1125R and 1125CR models are targeted fuel injectors, relocated O2 sensors, and updated engine spark and fuel maps. The combination of these features offers improved drivability below 6000 rpm, even crisper throttle response, improved heat management, and significantly improved fuel economy. The updated engine spark and fuel maps will also be made available for 2008 1125R models.

With a dry weight of 375 pounds, the 1125CR is the lightest liter-class streetfighter on the market, and combined with 146 horsepower, it offers the best weight-to-horsepower ratio in the category.





Buell Ulysses XB12XT model was introduced today as the second model in the Buell Ulysses family of adventure sportbikes.

Below is the press release from Buell:

Boasting the intuitive handling and tremendous torque that Buell has come to symbolize, the XB12XT creates a stirring sport riding experience on a capable long-distance motorcycle. Based on the Buell Ulysses adventure sport bike, the XB12XT features a specially-tuned shorter travel suspension and lower standard seat height, standard tall windscreen, Pirelli Strada sport touring tires and standard lockable top box and side luggage cases.

"The XB12XT will dish out considerable comfort and potent performance at every turn," said Erik Buell, Chairman and Chief Technical Officer at Buell Motorcycle Company. "The new suspension and many other features will let riders and passengers enjoy this motorcycle on all kinds of

BMW Sports Bikes Reviews Wallpapers

Electrics and Electronics The S 1000 RR comes as standard with a light 10 Ah battery. Whenever fitted with an anti-theft warning system as an option, the machine features a 12 Ah battery offering a longer service life and practical benefits.
Again with the objective to ensure maximum engine performance, the S 1000 RR features a fully controlled fuel pump operating at a maximum pressure of 5 bar.
Multi-functional instrument cluster with racing features.
The instrument cluster comes with a large, easy-to-read LCD display as well as an analogue rev counter also with a clear scale very easy to read. In developing the instrument cluster, the responsible engineers and other specialists attached utmost attention to clarity and the avoidance of any reflections in the display.
Apart from the gear currently in mesh, the display also presents the mode currently chosen by the rider, that is Rain, Sport, Race, or Slick. The rider is able to switch from one mode to the other from the right-hand end of the handlebar also while riding, simply pulling the clutch and turning the gas handle in idle to confirm the change in mode.
The instrument cluster featured on the S 1000 RR comes with a far wider range of functions than is generally the case in this class, making it absolutely unique in the supersports segment in terms of its wide range of options and practical use.


The S 1000 RR features the new generation of switches and hand controls already introduced on the K 1300 S. Using MID (Molded Interconnect Device) technology, these new switches are far smaller and more compact, offering supreme function, clear design and optimum accessibility.
Previously separated from one another, the switches for the direction indicators at the left and right are now combined in one function on the left handlebar, avoiding any confusion of the direction indicators and the horn. The hazard warning flashers are operated by a separate switch within easy reach on the left handlebar.
Operation of the low and high beam as well as the light flash is controlled by one single switch the rider is able to operate conveniently with his left index finger.
A truly unique feature versus the competition and a very practical highlight is the selection and operation of all functions and settings on the instrument cluster from the left handlebar. A toggle switch also on the left handlebar enables the rider to conveniently operate both Race ABS and DTC. And to choose the appropriate engine mode, finally, the rider just has to use the Mode switch on the right handlebar.

“BMW Motorrad starts its sales activities in the Indian motorcycle market with two official importers as of December, 2010,” the company said in a statement.

Globally, the firm’s motorcycle venture is known as BMW Motorrad and it will initially sell its products at three outlets in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.

BMW Motorrad’s superbikes will be imported into the country by two dealers, Deutsche Motoren and Navnit Motors.

Some of the models that the company is planning to bring into the country include the R 1200 GS, S 1000 RR and bigger K series bikes with 4-cylinder engines.



The bike wased as safety bike for the MotoGP race weekend in a surprise public appearance before the official unveiling at Monza World Superbikes next weekend.

MCN has exclusively revealed the BMW S1000RR is putting out around 10bhp more than any other 1000cc rival – 182bhp was the peak power figure on a leaked dyno graph obtained by MCN.

We know it has a four-way adjustable ABS system and race-derived traction control.

Bimota Spors Cars PHotos

Bimota one of the pure italian bike manufacturer has been goin through some difficult periods , but still they prove the phrase again !” ITALIANS INNOVATE “!

Bimota is back. Thanks once again to the largess of Italian ultra-entrepreneur Roberto Comini (who bankrolled Bimota’s last failed comeback), the Rimini-based boutique-bike manufacturer now offers three new models. Two of them are conventional–for Bimota, anyway–and powered by 996cc Suzuki V-twin engines, the SB8K Gobert Replica and the Santa Monica. But as if to highlight Bimota’s phoenix-like revival from the ashes, there’s also the reborn Tesi 2D, a modern iteration of the Ducati 888-powered Tesi 1D I raced for Bimota more than a decade ago, winning the ProTwins class twice at Daytona.


2004 is the 31st anniversary of Bimota's inception. Founded by three partners, Bimota has always been renowned as a manufacturer of extremely advanced and refined motorcycles, produced in limited editions and using components at the cutting edge of technology. The company, based in Rimini, developed through its race program the knowledge needed to create a series of production models and succeeded in manufacturing motorcycle models able to stimulate emotions for the street rider that can only be experienced when a machine is developed with care and commitment to be the best it can be.

Bimota's aim today is to re-launch this historic brand, a brand that is still today a reference point for enthusiasts all over the world, and continue the tradition by creating refined and technologically advanced models with avant-garde designs. Through an on-going research program and the utilisation of materials at the vanguard of technology, the company strongly believes it can continue to create the ultimate in motor cycling perfection.

The tenacity to believe in an ongoing research and development program that led from a quadrilateral steering system with a floating swing arm, to a new dimension 2D.




The refinement epitomised by the machined frame in aircraft specification alloy The courage to make real futuristic visions that lead to the realization of projects such as Tesi, a concept that in 1990 shook the biking world.

The technology of the fully adjustable Double System suspension. The passion for the bike that stems from racing and carries through into the production of exclusive models made with an intense care for each and every component.


The Bimota Tesi 3D isn’t supposed to be a sign of things to come from the newly resurrected Bimota factory, it’s more a project to show off what the talented engineers there can do when their imagination is allowed to run wild. The DB5 and DB6 Delirio are the Bimotas of the future and they are very good; the Bimota Tesi 3D on the other hand is an oddity and only worth it if you really, really have to have one.

As you’d expect from the price tag, the Bimota Tesi 3D has been put together by hand using only the finest materials and cycle parts. The small fairing, load-bearing seat unit and most of the bodywork is from carbon fibre and Bimota’s trademark milled billet aluminium plates adorn the Bimota Tesi 3D everywhere.

There’s a fine line between Ducati’s air-cooled, twin spark 1072cc V-twin motor being fun or disappointing depending on what motorcycle it’s slotted into. In the lightweight DB6 Delirio or Ducati Hypermotard it’s a little gem and you’re left never wanting more. In the heavier Multistrada, DB5 and this Bimota Tesi 3D it just hasn’t got the oomph to make you smile. The Bimota Tesi 3D desperately needs a more powerful motor.

If the front suspension system is open to debate the quality of the Bimota Tesi 3D certainly isn’t, it’s quite simply stunning to behold. As a piece of motorcycling art it’s worth every penny if you’ve got the dosh. Engine-wise the Ducati unit is very simple and is tried and tested in the Multistrada and Hypermotard, so there shouldn’t be any problems with reliability.




Expected to be released somewhere next year, the Bimota DB7 Oronero will be the first production bike in the world with a carbon fiber frame and swingarm. Taking the biking revolution to the next level by building the subframes for both the DB7 and the Tesi 3D from space age material, the limited edition Oronero will surely stand out from the crowd. Apart from the reinvented bodywork, the bike also sports some GET digital instruments and a GPS system that tracks its movement on the racing turf. By dropping 6 Kg from the traditional DB7’s weight, the Oronero stands at a sizzling 164 Kg, all muscle!

Benelli Heavy bikes Photos reviews

Whenever the Italians design a new bike or car it usually creates a stir from the public and the press. Italian design is always different and the Benelli Tornado RS certainly lives up to this tradition! I saw the Tornado previewed some years ago and read about the mixed reactions it had, so finally I managed to get hold of one for a real road and track test to see what all the fuss was about. There are a lot of top end sports bikes in the world, not just from the Japanese, but from the UK, Italy and now Germany too. So is the Benelli that different from the others, would it get noticed in a crowd?

I made the trip down to Three Cross motorcycles in Dorset to collect the RS, it was a warm sunny day and there I was going by car and trailer to get it. Why can't I ever get it right, it always rains when I go to get Harleys by bike, still the forecast was good for the next week or so, maybe I would get to really try it out?


The engine response is excellent and it pulls 'turbine like' from nothing right up to the top end with smooth power delivery and tons of torque. The cassette gearbox is very slick and quickshifting through the box without the clutch is just a delight. Changing down is easy and effortless to with the adjustable slipper clutch making it smooth to change gears without actually touching the clutch lever. Blip the throttle and snick it in, nice and easy, except when you need to find neutral. There are two possibilities of finding neutral, get it as you come to a stop, or kill the engine and find it then. In talking with a couple of other owners I found out that it's a trait of this box, it's livable with, but in town it spoils it a little.

Well anyway you may like it or not, this bike leaves no one without impression. The look is so uncommun, even little childs see it as a ´have to have´ toy. If you are liek me and don´t like to have the same as everyone, just get this baby. Parked side by side with other exclusive bikes (like Agusta MV4 and even a Boxer VB1), you´re sure to get the attention on you; ah well on your bike... lol.
The same story comes when you talk about braking. Benelli have equipped the RS with Brembo Radial 320mm front brakes with 4 piston calipers which do the job with no fuss and perfect feel and progressiveness. On the road you never need more than a finger to haul you up from normal speeds, on the track add 1 more finger and you have the 'King of the late brakers'! The braided hose/Brembo radial caliper combo on the Benelli RS is another sign of the top quality kit that this bike has, a bike with near perfect braking feel and some serious stopping power when you need it the most.

The Benelli Tornado RS is a pure sports bike designed for twisty roads fun. There are a few little things you will have to get used to, but in general its a fantastic bike with one sole purpose in life - to thrill! The riding position is perfect for sliding your arse off the seat and scraping your knee on the tarmac on almost any corner. The bars are just in the right place so they don't give you wrist ache over a distance, and believe me on one occasion I did over 400 miles up to Cadwell Park, rode on track all day then back home again without any aching wrists at all - mind you the seat is a bit hard after that amount of time and I did feel a little sore there!




Sitting on the fence is bound give you splinters. It’s never the most comfortable position, but sometimes it’s nigh on impossible to reach a conclusion. And I’m faced with such a dilemma when pondering the unique styling of Benelli’s TNT Café Racer. Is it bulky and bitty? Or stylishly sophisticated? I just can’t decide. Perhaps it’s both. One thing is quite clear though, this streetfighter is a pure joy to ride, whether you like the looks or not.

Let’s get the styling out of the way. It looks seriously over complicated at first glance. There’s a technical and mechanical appearance to the bike, with its stocky, heavy set shoulders and shimmering Mandarin paintwork. Every where you look, a new curve or angle catches your eye, from the kinked triple exhaust pipes to the tapered rear end. It’s all so obviously, painstakingly intricate.

So I’d expected the ride to be equally fussy. The mere description of the bike, a Café Racer, conjures images of hunching over a naked bike, desperately trying to avoid the windblast and struggling to get comfortable. The Benelli’s as naked as a newborn, with absolutely no wind protection. But despite these warning signs, a little red devil appeared by my shoulder and twisted my right wrist until I eventually succumbed to the inevitable. I chased triple figures of monstrous proportions until my neck muscles stiffened with cramp and my eyes wobbled involuntarily in their sockets. And no, I’m not exaggerating and yes, it was ridiculously huge fun.

The Tornado RS is a pure sports bike designed for twisty roads fun. There are a few little things you will have to get used to, but in general its a fantastic bike with one sole purpose in life - to thrill! The riding position is perfect for sliding your arse off the seat and scraping your knee on the tarmac on almost any corner.

Ben Spies Sports Bike Rider Video Pics

Ben Spies never thought about becoming an international motorcycle road racing star growing up in the east Texas town of Longview, but he's become exactly that in his first season in the Superbike World Championship.

Spies has been sensational in the opening six rounds of the season. He's won five of 12 races (each round is a doubleheader) and six straight poles to tie the series' record set in 1991 by American Doug Polen. The 24-year-old is third in the championship, which reaches its halfway point this weekend in the only round located in the United States -- at Miller Motorsports Park, just west of Salt Lake City.

"Honestly, I didn't think about riding internationally when I first went into riding professionally," Spies said. "I'm definitely glad I took the step and am doing it."

It takes a serious commitment to race internationally, mostly in terms of a profound lifestyle change. Living in Europe is almost mandatory for logistical reasons, and travel is global. Spies has raced in Australia, Qatar and South Africa this season, plus three European rounds.

Spies lives at Lake Como, a fashionable area in northern Italy that is 30 minutes from his team's base in Monza. It's a place where you can find plenty of veal, steak and pasta, but no barbecue ribs and chicken. Spies has taken the adjustment in stride.
