Custom Bike - Cyril Sportster 1991

May 20th, 2008 · 8 Comments

I’m not the biggest fans of rhinestone-’enhanced’ Harley-Davidson Choppers or silver-plated Yamahas — but this kind of custom bike design does tickle my fancy a little bit… ;)

It’s gorgeous, it’s different, and apparently it’s quite fast though. It’s called the “Cyril Sportster” and it looks like the perfect bike for a billionaire pimp.

I’ll take two.

Wow, this dude manages 60mph on a TLR

LOL this is absolutely gay. Guy “speeds” his Suziki TLR1000 by a camera on some pier in some third world country — and makes a complete fool of himself due to the pathetic speed…

Excellent laugh, though.

Gigantic Motorcycle

April 21st, 2008 · No Comments

This thing is preposterous. :D

According tot the youtube page:

11 feet high. 20 feet long. And, a $300,000 pricetag. No one believed he could pull it off, but he built it anyway.

Alone in his workshop at home, Greg Dunham crafted the world’s largest motorcycle. Not only does the giant machine

look amazing, it actually drives!

ROFL

1976 Benelli 250 2C Cup

April 11th, 2008 · No Comments

If you’re a fan of vintage race bikes, and you like your bikes to have a little history — you will surely like Benelli bikes. Albeit Benelli is currently Chinese-owned (Qianjiang), the manufacturer’s history is closely aligned with that of the motorcycle industry in its root nation Italy.

According to Wikipedia: “Benelli was established in Pesaro, Italy in 1911. Teresa Benelli, a widow, invested all of the family capital into the business in the hope that it would offer stable work for her six sons: Giuseppe, Giovanni, Francesco, Filippo, Domenico and Antonio (”Tonino”).”

Anyway — this bike is NOT the average 1976 Benelli 250 2C. It’s the CUP version — not surprisingly a racing bike. ;)

Ducati 1098S

April 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

DUCATI 1098S TRICOLOREThe presenter is obviously semi-braindead (no offence) but the bike looks terrific. It’s obviously a pure racing beast but according to the reports I’ve read he performs excellent as a cruiser too as long as you get it adjusted to your comfort zone a little, which helps to justify the price tag, obviously…

Okay I’ve gone 100% vintage bike fan now and I’ve decided to get one — it’s just a matter of picking what kind (and what make) I like best. I promise to take all of you along for the ride while I cruise around the web looking for a bike. :D
