Although my friends over at Falcon would probably stick my arm in their Bendomatic 3000 for saying this, I gotta admit I like this YSC DUster motorcycle above. Elegant? No. Understated? Hell no. But I like it — the white is so clean and sharp it’s like wearing brand new sneakers all day, everyday. Created […]

Moto Guzzi steals the show with 70's-inspired café racer
At this week’s annual EICMA show in Milano Moto Guzzi made the biggest splash unveiling its Moto Guzzi V7 Clubman Racer. Usually the Italian motorcycle show is dominated by the 3 Kings — Ducati, Aprilia and MV Agusta, but this year the triumverate’s biggest release was Ducati’s technologically innovative but aesthetically questionable Multistrada 1200.

What you’re looking at here is the 2010 Hypermotard 796, the latest addition to the Ducati family.

Bayliss has claimed three World Superbike Championships for Ducati, who have limited this design to only 150 motorcycles for the US. Each bike priced at $43,995. What a […]

Hell no, that shit is pedestrian. With the impossibly stylish in mind, Ducati unveiled their new collaboration with Toyota at SEMA this […]
Ducati unveiled their new Streetfighter yesterday at the Milan Bike Show, and boy is it sick. These “streetfighters” — essentially sport bikes minus the fairings, and with a more upright riding position — are my fave class of bikes anyway, and you could expect Ducati to pull a trump card. I remember seeing the Monster […]
