Perhaps our only gripe with the 2011 KTM 125 Duke (besides of course that it’s not coming to America), is…
When it comes to Ducati motorcycles, none stands apart from the rest quite like the MH900e. Designed by the one and only Pierre Terblanche, the MH900e is more like art that you can ride than it is a motorcycle that looks good, which might explain the ridiculously high price tag on an eBay auction that is currently offering two low mileage machines for the measly sum of $995,000. Before you spit your coffee out, that high price tag comes with a guarantee that 50% of the auction proceeds will end up going to charity. Of course that still means you are paying half a million dollars for two motorcycles that normally retail for about $20,000 each…ouch.
Appropriately in time for the holidays with its deliciously red paint job, we bring you the Deus Ex Machina New Blood…
While we try and contain ourselves from giggling like little schoolgirls, technology news blog TechCrunch got a chance to sit down with Daniel Simon, the designer of the new Tron lightcycle (you might remember Simon from his renowned Cosmic Motors work), and ask him about revisiting the lightcycle design (air flaps!) in Tron: Legacy. That interview and a boatload of Tron: Legacy concept sketches are after the jump.
File this one under stuff we couldn’t make up if we tried (although the fake press release would be awesome).…
If you ever wanted to know what a 1200cc VR6 motor sounds like on a dyno, well today’s your lucky day my friend. German restart Horex Motorcycles has put its 15° six-cylinder motor through its paces recently, and had the foresight to record the event on video. With a motor no wider than an inline-four, listen while the Horex VR6 concept idles and revs with German efficiency. And oh that whistle sound, yeah we forgot to mention this is the supercharged 200hp variant. Happy Friday.
