Full Review: 2010 BMW S1000RR

We have seen several first looks of this machine, but only one or two reviews so far have come through - and most are rather short. This review is much more in depth and covers the bike in its native habitat - the track. As was expected, the S1000RR is an amazing machine - full of incredible power, excellent control, and a sweet all-around ride - and this is the first year of production! Take a look and have a read...

EICMA: Peugeot Debuts HYbrid3 Evolution Scooter

Wow, even more hybrid scooters will soon be produced - the technology is finally coming into the two-wheeled world! Peugeot - yes, that Peugeot - has shown their HYbrid3 Evolution at the EICMA show in Milan. It is running the Peugeot 41HP 300c.c. supercharged engine plus two two 3 kW motors in the front wheels, which gives it an overall HP rating of 49. The scooter has a performance of a 500c.c. machine, but the CO2 emissions of a much smaller vehicle. Sound like fun to me!

2010 Honda VFR1200 Tourer May Be the Most Advanced Motorcycle Ever

After a careful examination of the patents and design features present on the 2010 Honda VFR1200T (Tourer), it may actually convince you that I am not exaggerating in that title. According to this article, the writer seems to demonstrate that the new Interceptor (nomenclature?) is the safest motorcycle produced thus far. It seems that it will even come equipped with an airbag - I believe I missed that in the other reports on the press launch. Anyway, take a look and I bet you will be impressed.

Over at gizmag, a Look at the Motorcycle V4 Renaissance

With the Aprilia RSV-4 and the Honda V4 1200 soon to be on the market (Aprilia will be first, obviously), it seems that we are seeing a new generation of V-4 motorcycle engines. Of course, from those first machines will come the inevitable derivatives. So, is it true? Decide for yourself:
