A Swedish Dealer Finds Honda NR750 and RC30 in Crates!

It's true, but very hard to believe...A Honda dealership in Sweden found two unknown crates lurking in the back of their storage area. It turns out that they had their hands on - never un-crated and in perfect showroom condition - a NR750 oval-piston and a hand-built RC30. The video after the link shows the dealer prep work being done. As far as anyone knows, they will be put on the showroom floor as exhibits. Too bad, those things need to be ridden!

Husaberg's Joakim Ljunggren Has Good Race Weekend - Again

This is Ljunggren's first year in the Indoor Enduro World Cup (IEWC), but he is performing like it is his second nature. In his first event, in England, he rode to a respectable finish, in the second round in Italy, he placed fourth, third, and fourth during the weekend. That is even better than his results in the U.K. Look for even more improvement as Husaberg rider Ljunggren gets more and more familiar with the competition...

Novemberkåsan: Husaberg's Joakim Ljunggren is Triumphant!

Ljunggren, took the lead early in the event and went all the way to the finish in first place - beating his closest competitor by 45 minutes! The even was marred with cold temperatures and snowfall, but that did not stop the Husaberg rider; some of his competition sat out the race, so he did not have any real challengers. Even so, the rain/snow and cold made it one very tough enduro!

Swedish University Displays Concept Motorcycle Designed Specifically for Women

The motorcycle presented here - the Verdandi Motorcycle - is supposed to be electric-powered and be specially built just for female riders. The trouble is that this is just a concept and there is not much to it as of yet - it doesn't even have an engine/motor. However, maybe it will be a good test bed for other motorcycle designs which are more practical and useful...
