Representing Varese's commitment to more affordable motorcycles, the Brutale 675 comes with a €8,990 price tag in the EU (US pricing is still up in the air, but should be competitive with the Triumph Street Triple). No exactly a surprise in its design, the 2012 MV Agusta Brutale 675 is true to the Brutale format, and follows the lines of the F3 supersport...without fairings of course.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/mv-agusta-brutale-675-photos-eicma/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Pierobon X60R &#8211; Your Xmas Wish List Just Got Longer</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/pierobon-x60r-xmas-list-longer/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/pierobon-x60r-xmas-list-longer/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:19:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2011 EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bologna]]></category> <category><![CDATA[custom]]></category> <category><![CDATA[custom chassis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[custom Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Italian]]></category> <category><![CDATA[italy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pierobon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pierobon X60R]]></category> <category><![CDATA[X60R]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26684</guid> <description><![CDATA[We've featured Pierobon's work before, with the Bologna company's Pierobon F042 causing quite a stir earlier this year. Like the F042, the Pierobon X60R features an air-cooled Ducati v-twin power plant, and the tuning firm's own proprietary chassis design. There are plenty of performance parts and carbon fiber to drool over, and the design strikes as one that would have occurred had Ducati made a true air-cooled sportbike. With Pierbon's extensive experience in the racing scene, we can imagine how much fun an X60R would be on the track, we'll just have to wait and see if a street model also makes a debut. ]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/pierobon-x60r-xmas-list-longer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>9</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Up-Close with the Husqvarna E-Go Concept</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/husqvarna-e-go-eicma-photos/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/husqvarna-e-go-eicma-photos/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 22 Nov 2011 22:36:52 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2011 EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[E-go]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[electric]]></category> <category><![CDATA[entry-level]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Husqvarna]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Husqvarna E-Go]]></category> <category><![CDATA[motard]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[supermotard]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26573</guid> <description><![CDATA[While KTM made waves with the debut of the KTM Freeride E electric dirt bike, the Austrian brand wasn't the only OEM hocking an electric offering at the 2011 EICMA show. Unveiling a very rough electric concept, Husqvarna continued to redefine itself for the future with the Husqvarna E-Go Concept. The physical size of a 125cc dirt bike, the Husqvarna E-Go is the exploration of entry-level electric street motard. With OEMs hoping that electrics will bring in a new generation of rider, the Husqvarna E-Go seems to hit all the right bullet points for that concept, but as always, time will tell.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/husqvarna-e-go-eicma-photos/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>7</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Bimota DB9 Brivido &#8211; The Best Looking Diavel Yet</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/bimota-db9-brivido/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/bimota-db9-brivido/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:43:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bimota]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bimota Brivido]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bimota DB9]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bimota DB9 Brivido]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brivido]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DB9]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DB9 Brivido]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA 2011]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Testastretta 11°]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26534</guid> <description><![CDATA[Astute readers this week would have noticed our coverage of the Bimota DB10 Bimotard, and wondered how the boutique Italian firm jumped from the DB8 to the DB10 designation. Well yes Virginia, there is a DB9. The Bimota DB9 Brivido arrived to the 2011 EICMA show with slightly less fanfare, but its still a classic example of the motorcycle company's current design and ethos. Based around the 162hp Testastretta 11° motor from the Ducati Diavel, the DB9 Brivido continues the aesthetics that began with the Ducati Superbike 1198-powered DB8, and works in the more streetable maintenance-friendly Diavel motor.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/bimota-db9-brivido/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>15</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Up-Close with the Ducati 1199 Panigale S Tricolore</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/ducati-1199-panigale-s-tricolore-photos-eicma/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/ducati-1199-panigale-s-tricolore-photos-eicma/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 16 Nov 2011 03:12:08 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[1199 Panigale S Tricolore]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale S Tricolore]]></category> <category><![CDATA[data acquisition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DDA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DES]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati 1199 Panigale S]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati 1199 Panigale S Tricolore]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati electronic suspension]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA 2011]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Electronic Suspension]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GPS data acquisition]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LED headlight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Öhlins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Panigale S Tricolore]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tricolore]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26516</guid> <description><![CDATA[The pinnacle of Ducati's Superbike offering for 2012 is the Ducati 1199 Panigale S Tricolore. Incorporating the key features from the Ducati 1199 Panigale S, like its traction control (DTC), electronic quick-shifter (DQS), forged Marchesini wheels, and Öhlins-made Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) front forks and rear TTX shock, the Tricolore package adds anti-locking brakes and the GPS-assisted DDA+ Ducati Data Acquisition system as standard items to Tricolore's technical list.

Borrowing from the Bimota DB6's frame design, the DB 10 Bimotard takes the same 1,078cc air-cooled two-valve Hypermotard 1100 EVO motor, with its 95hp peak power output, and builds around this platform a compelling maxi-motard design. Perhaps better labelled as Bimota's take on building a better Hypermotard, the Bimota DB10 Bimotard also promises the usual Bimota design and exclusivity, and helps bridge the gap to the Italian company's latest off-road offerings.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/bimota-db10-bimotard-eicma-photos/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>10</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>MV Agusta Tricruiser Concept &#8211; A 675cc Sport-Tourer?</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/mv-agusta-tricruiser-concept-675cc-sporttourer/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/mv-agusta-tricruiser-concept-675cc-sporttourer/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 14 Nov 2011 16:39:22 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA 2011]]></category> <category><![CDATA[IED]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Istituto Europeo di Design of Turin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MV Agusta]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MV Agusta Tricruiser]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MV Agusta Tricruiser concept]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[student designs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tricruiser]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26468</guid> <description><![CDATA[Walking around the halls of the 2011 EICMA show, I saw this concept for an MV Agusta tourer sitting in the Motociclismo booth, and wondered what was the story behind the bike. Luckily the internet has answers for such questions, and it turns out that the MV Agusta Tricruiser is the brainchild of students at Istituto Europeo di Design of Turin (IED). Using the MV Agusta F3 as a starting point, the graduate students at IED set out to envision the next iteration in MV Agusta's smaller-displacement platform. With the Italian company under tremendous pressure to become profitable, MV Agusta must increase its volume by a factor greater than 10x if it wants to see blank ink on its balance sheet.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/mv-agusta-tricruiser-concept-675cc-sporttourer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>14</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Up-Close with the Ducati 1199 Panigale in Superstock Trim</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/ducati-1199-panigale-supersport-trim-eicma/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/ducati-1199-panigale-supersport-trim-eicma/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:50:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Popular]]></category> <category><![CDATA[1199 Panigale]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati 1199]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ducati 1199 Panigale]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA 2011]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Panigale]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[up-close]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26452</guid> <description><![CDATA[The Ducati 1199 Panigale is surely going to be the bike of 2012. Electronically adjustable suspension, LED headlights, GPS assisted DDA+ data acquisition, traction control, ABS, engine braking control...the Ducati 1199 Panigle's feature-set is like reading the wish list of any superbike enthusiast. However what makes the 2012 Ducati 1199 Panigale truly special is its revolutionary monocoque frame. It is rare these days to see manufacturers think outside of the box when it comes to motorcycle design. In a land where twin-spar frames reign supreme, Ducati has taken a chance on an incredible new philosophy on chassis design.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/ducati-1199-panigale-supersport-trim-eicma/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>23</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>2012 Honda NC700S &#8211; The Return of the Standard</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2012-honda-nc700s/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/2012-honda-nc700s/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2011 03:31:17 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bikes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2012 Honda NC700S]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[EICMA 2011]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Honda NC700S]]></category> <category><![CDATA[naked]]></category> <category><![CDATA[NC700S]]></category> <category><![CDATA[photos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[standard]]></category> <category><![CDATA[street naked]]></category> <category><![CDATA[street standard]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=26407</guid> <description><![CDATA[Honda says it wanted to create a fun and user-friendly motorcycle when it set out to build the 2012 Honda NC700S &#8212; a simple, practical, two-cylinder get around town motorcycle.
