Ducati Paso

The Cagiva (from CAstiglioni GIovanni VArese) company, founded by the Castiglioni brothers, needed an engine - while Ducati, who had just been released from a difficult past of statutory public management (IRI), needed revenue.
Over a series of Italian style meetings/lunches in 1984, they agreed a deal for Ducati to supply engines to Cagiva - and then go out of the business of producing motorcycles. However, the Castiglioni brothers of Cagiva were eventually offered a deal to buy Ducati, subject to the Ducati name living on as an actual motorcycle product. On closure of the deal, Ducati engines were instantly installed in a number of Cagiva bikes, which included the Alazzurra and the Elephant enduro bike.
At the time of the takeover, due to its financial difficulties Ducati was in a state of suspended animation with regards to engineering development. By that time, the classic bevel drive V-twin, which was old and expensive to produce, had been replaced by the belt-drive Pantah, designed by Fabio Taglioni. The Pantah was already known to be a strong and capable engine, and known to deliver in the Ducati 750 F1.
The Pantah engine has been constantly developed up to the present day, and remains the only production motorcycle equipped with desmodromic valves. And around it they wanted a Ducati motorcycle unlike any other, that showed the world both Ducati's capabilities, and where it would go in the future.

Unfortunately commercial success didn't come, and worldwide the Paso 750 only sold 4,863 units between its introduction in 1986 and 1988. The Paso was more expensive and had lower performance (72.5 hp and 210 km/h top speed) than its competitors, and had some reliability and rideability problems with the electrical and fuel systems, due to the use of an automotive Weber carburetor, which was ill-suited to a small-capacity motorcycle engine.
In 1989 the Paso 906 was introduced to replace the 750, with a six-speed gearbox, a 904 cc engine which provided 88 hp and a 220 km/h top speed. The bike still had the same automotive carburettor and unreliable electrical system, but its greatest development was the incorporation of liquid cooling. 1,802 Paso 906's were built between 1988 and 1989.
After further development, the final version of the design came in 1990 with the 907IE (Iniezione Elettronica); now without the name "Paso". The engine remained liquid-cooled and the carburetor was replaced by the most modern Weber-Marelli IAW 043 system that integrated ignition and electronic fuel injection, which transformed the rideability of the bike. Power increased to 90 hp and top speed to 230 km/h. The wheels were changed to 17 inches, giving the bike more stability.
Despite these advances sales of this model remained sluggish, and when production ceased in 1992 only 2,303 907IE's had been built.

 

Thunderbike-OpenMind

Thunderbike was founded in 1985, as a Suzuki dealer named Motorradschuppen (eng.: motorcycle shed) in the small town of Hamminkeln in western Germany. ^[1] Between 1987 and 2001 the Thunderbike Team was successful at the German racing series Deutsche Langstreckenmeisterschaft and produced many customized sports bikes.
In 2003, Thunderbike began to customize Harley-Davidson motorcycles and started to create self-produced frames, custom-wheels and other parts. They reached the 2nd place at the AMD World Championship in 2006 and became one of the most successful European customizers.

Moto Guzzi

Moto Guzzi was conceived by two aircraft pilots and their mechanic serving in the Corpo Aeronautico Militare (the Italian Air Corp, CAM) during World War I: Carlo Guzzi, Giovanni Ravelli and Giorgio Parodi. Assigned to the same Miraglia Squadron based outside Venice,^[4] the three became close, despite coming from different socio-economic backgrounds. The trio envisioned creating a motorcycle company after the war. Guzzi would engineer the motor bikes, Parodi (the son of wealthy Genovese ship-owners) would finance the venture, and Ravelli (already a famous pilot and motorcycle racer) would promote the bikes with his racing prowess. Guzzi and Parodi (along with Parodi's brother) formed Moto Guzzi in 1921. Ravelli, ironically, had died just days after the war's end in an aircraft crash and is commemorated by the eagle's wings that form the Moto Guzzi logo.^{[citation needed]}

Moto Guzzi, Museum of Brescello.

The GT Norge, Moto Guzzi Museum, Mandello del Lario, driven 4,000 miles (6,400 km) to the Arctic Circle in 1928.

Carlo Guzzi and Giorgio Parodi,along with Giorgio's brother Angelo, created a privately held silent partnership "Società Anonima Moto Guzzi" on 15 March 1921, for the purpose of (according to the original articles of incorporation) "the manufacture and the sale of motor cycles and any other activity in relation to or connected to metallurgical and mechanical industry".
The formation of the company hinged on an initial loan of two thousand Lira from the Parodis' father, Emanuele Vittorio, which he gave on 3 January 1919, offering the balance of the loan upon his review of the project's progress

Custom Motorcycle Shows

If you've ever seen American Chopper, or any other bike Custom Building show, you are probably aware of the many custom motorcycle shows that exist in the country. Each state seems to host its own expo, where people can go out and look pretty nice bikes. Here is a brief list of some of these shows.

If you live in Southern California, be sure to check the calendar of Los Angles Motorcycle Sunday, July 13. The show offers $ 86,000 in cash and prizes, and have a wide range of custom built motorcycles to professionals and amateurs. In addition to the creation of classes and demo bikes, and is an acronym for suppliers, distributors and manufacturers. This is an event to go to a custom motorcycle enthusiasts in the Los Angeles area.

These are just a few events for motorcycle enthusiasts as it passes in North America this month. Many events are coming throughout the year. While motorcycle rallies, so little time.

MV Agusta F3

MV Agusta's F3 is endowed with a new 675cc three-cylinder motor. As with all MVs, it's gorgeous.

When it comes to understanding motorcycles, Italians perhaps do it better than any other nation. So when attendees at last month’s EICMA show in Milan were polled to find the “Most Beautiful Bike,” MV Agusta’s F3 was the easy winner, pulling in an extra 18 percentage points over the runner-up Ducati Diavel.

We're expecting big things from MV's new middleweight.

It only takes a short glance at the F3 to realize it’s something special. Its chiseled styling makes for an immediately positive first impression, which is then underlined by a sexy single-sided swingarm and one of the coolest exhaust systems ever, a triple-pipe shorty outlet that is a symphony of design.
Symphonic, too, should be the sound of the 675cc three-cylinder engine at full song. We’re huge fans of Triumph’s 675 Triple, both its sound and character, so we’ve got some high expectations for MV’s version.
“I think the Triumph is such an excellent performer, and so a bike of the same displacement and intent from legendary maker MV Agusta could have as much or more potential as the Triumph,” Pete comments. “Bonus to the forthcoming F3 is MV’s promise of traction control for the sleek-looking Italian Triple.”
“It will be an awesome middleweight scalpel, I bet you,” Jeff predicts.

Ducati Diavel

Ducati intends to reach a new audience with the Diavel. Factory-rated at 162 horsepower, you're sure to be at the front of the pack heading to the next roadhouse.

Last year Ducati smacked us with an adventure-touring surprise in the form of the oddball Multistrada, which we’ve since tested and loved several times. For 2011, Ducati further expands its customer base with the Diavel, a weird new roadster built within the power-cruiser idiom.

Pirelli developed a new rear tire in conjunction with the Diavel, purported to offer sportier handling than any other 240mm tire.

Despite the cruiser analogies, those at Ducati who have ridden the Diavel say it doesn’t really share any cruiser qualities. They promise a level of handling far beyond anything with a cruiser label, including a respectable 41-degree lean angle. And with a retuned version of the strong 1200cc V-Twin from the Multistrada, expectations are for a unique and stimulating ride.
“Let's see,” Pete muses. “A motorcycle with a claimed 162 hp and 94 ft-lbs joined by ABS, traction control, rider-selectable engine mapping, a slipper clutch and a monstrous 240mm rear tire from Pirelli. I like most cruisers, but I think I'll like Ducati's interpretation of a cruiser even more.”
Diavel prices start at $16,995 when they hit dealers around March, 2011.

BMW K1600GT and GTL

A new 6-cylinder engine is at the core of BMW's new K1600 series.

BMW thrilled us with news of the first inline 6-cylinder motorcycle engine in almost 30 years, this one the centerpiece of a pair of high-end touring bikes. BMW says the undersquare 1649cc mill will produce a prodigious 129 ft-lb of torque at its peak, culminating in a 160-horse shove down the highway of your choice.

The K1600GTL packs big power and loads of comfort and convenience niceties.

The sporty-ish K16GT will replace the 4-cylinder K1300GT, and the K1600GTL becomes the luxury-touring wagen of the reputable German brand. Both are available with a gamut of technology and luxury options, including electronically adjustable suspension, traction control, heated seats and grips, and multi-mode engine mapping, among a host of other options that should deliver a truly regal ride. And the engine sounds delicious, as we heard when we saw the K16 revealed at Jay Leno’s garage last month.
“A six-cylinder motorcycle engine is a rare thing, no matter the era,” Pete notes. “But one from BMW promises high levels of refined technology and presumably lots of smooth power. Wrap that mill in a techy BMW chassis and all kinds of pushbutton electronic gadgetry, and the K16GT screams über-tourer.”
Yet to be announced are the prices in America, but read here for Canadian pricing that starts at $24,100 for the GT. We’ll have to wait till April to sample the newest Six on the

Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200

                                  

Aprilia's V-Twin heritage continues with the 1200cc Dorsoduro. We expect a 1200cc Shiver to emerge in 2011.

Aprilia's V-Twin heritage continues with the 1200cc Dorsoduro. We expect a 1200cc Shiver to emerge in 2011.

As noted above, the old Tuono was our favorite offering from the Noale, Italy-based Aprilia, but the new V4R will lose the previous model’s 1000cc V-Twin character. However, twin-cylinder fans needn’t fret, as the 1197cc Dorsoduro steps in to fill that void.

The Dorsoduro's new V-Twin packs the grunt we wished the 750 had.

The 750cc Shiver and Dorsoduro are very appealing in their own right, yet performance from their three-quarter-liter V-Twins have been a little underwhelming. But after years of rumors about larger-displacement version of the same engine, Aprilia has finally delivered with the Dorsoduro 1200.
The Max Dorso has already been introduced in Europe, and our correspondent Tor Sagen brought back a glowing review you can read here.  Although no lightweight (at a stated 457 lbs dry), the Dorso 12 comes to the party with a claimed 130 crankshaft horses to give it midrange grunt the 750 can’t approach. The big Dorso’s appeal is also expanded with high-end features like traction control and optional ABS.
“The Dorsoduro 1200 is all I ever wanted from the 750 that wasn’t there,” said Sagen after his ride. “The 1200 engine has got all that full richness I always look for in V-Twins. That sorted, the bike is now 100% pure fun.”
Just as intriguing, this new 1200cc V-Twin will surely find its way into other Aprilia models. We anticipate a Shiver 1200 to be unveiled during 2011, and it’s possible the new powerplant may find its way into a pseudo adventure-tourer like Ducati’s weird but successful Multistrada.
The only downside is that we’ll have to wait until mid-2011 until the Dorsoduro 1200 arrives in North America. MSRP is set at $11,999.
       

Aprilia Tuono V4R

We love Aprilia's V-Four engine, so we're pleased to see it used in the new Tuono V4R.

Aprilia is on the gas for 2011, giving us several strong possibilities for selection to our list, including the sporty tiddler RS4 125. Parent company Piaggio, like Euro rivals Ducati, Triumph and BMW, continues an unabated stream of new product while Japanese brands are being much more cautious.

Italian sex appeal.

In our selection process for this list, we had some votes for two new versions of the ultra-desirable RSV4 sportbike. If you have to wonder why this is exciting then you may not have paid attention to a) Motorcycle.com and/or b) World Superbike racing this year. Veteran road racer Max Biaggi scored 10 race wins on the way to the 2010 World Superbike Championship and the Manufacturer's title at the helm of an RSV4. And earlier this year we picked the RSV4 Factory as the winner of the first part of our 2010 Superbike Shootout.
Now comes the APRC SE version to sweeten the RSV4 Factory pot with the addition of traction control, wheelie control, launch control and a quick shifter, which you can find out more from our Euro correspondent’s First Ride review. Aprilia went and made one of our favorite literbikes of all time even better! It will retail for $22,499 when it arrives on our shores mid-2011. And if you really have extra coin burning a hole in your pocket and you must ride like Max, Aprilia offers a WSBK-spec, 200 hp race-ready Biaggi Replica for the paltry sum of $64,000.
Yet it’s the new Tuono V4R that really gets out blood pumping. The previous version with its liter-sized V-Twin is one of our all-time favorite nakeds, with a composed chassis, edgy Italian styling, and all-day-comfy ergos. Aprilia has now graced the Tuono with a retuned version of the compact but potent V-4 powering the RSV4, rated at an exciting 162 crankshaft horsepower. The V4R Tuono will also be available with the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package that uses gyros and accelerometers to control traction, wheelies and launches.
“Although it’s just a paper lion at the moment,” Pete comments, “the all-new Tuono V4R has me salivating like no other new bike announced for the coming season.” Unfortunately, the V4R isn’t scheduled to hit North America until early 2012 at a price still to be determined.

2012 Husqvarna Nuda 900 R

n the previous time at the Milan EICMA Show last November Husqvarna Motorcycles presented the Mille 3 concept; which unequivocally proclaimed our intention to break into the onroadmarket. Husqvarna is about to write a new and important chapter in its history, producing the first powerful two-cylinder road bike which we will be presented today in its almost final build. Why a street bike from Husqvarna? Actually there is a long tradition of street bikes for Husqvarna – before the famous area of off-road products. So the step for the brand is not really that big. In addition we see a great potential to grow in this direction, providing thrilling products including true Husqvarna DNA

In recent weeks the media all around the world have shown the sketches and then pictures of a prototype. The relationship between BMW and Husqvarna is without doubt stronger and more harmonious than ever, and this new product is the first in a completely new segment for our more than one hundred year old brand. This 900 combines Husqvarna's traditional sporting nature with BMW's engineering, technology and reliability. And this is just the start! Our future road bikes will continue to have Husqvarna's DNA and, above all, its concept of riding based on pleasure, power and flexibility.

Husqvarna is the newcomer to the BMW Group and we aspire to attract and engage young motorcyclists with our innovative and thrilling concept of the road motorcycle as a means of achieving pure riding pleasure. Choosing the right engine was vital in an ambitious project like this. The core is the parallel 800cc two cylinder engine also seen on the BMW F800R, but modified to give the bike a more aggressive, racing character. To reach this aim the engine was upgraded, increasing the capacity to 900cc and many internal components were modified to improve the performance of the power and torque curve. This new model will have more than 100 horsepower, will be very easy to handle thanks to its great lightness and the linear, fluid nature of the engine which bursts powerfully and controllable into action at the touch of the throttle. The components will be top-notch too, just like our Husqvarna racing bikes: fork from Sachs, Öhlins shock absorber (both fully adjustable), Brembo Racing brakes, and many small details in carbon fibre, sport exhaust system with an exhaust valve and much more.

All this comes with an aesthetically pleasing appearance and a sexy, seductive and typically Italian style. The bold shapes of the body are a consistent evolution of the new style and design direction introduced by Husqvarna's design team (some aspects of the chassis will remind you of the Mille 3 concept) and demonstrate the company's unique and unquestionable ability to innovate. The design of this latest bike is brand new. The characteristic shape of the side panels, the tension in the vibrant surfaces and the sculpted volumes define an athletic and curvy body. Dynamism, agility and lightness are all balanced harmoniously.

The air intakes incorporated at the front of the body and the tapered tail, almost like a racing bike, highlight the unique design of this new model. The technical components, along with the engine, the trellis frame and the visible radiator are a prelude of sportiness, performance and, above all, fun. All this comes in the typical colors of our competition bikes. A color combination which is both: Sporty and elegant at the same time. This is the Husqvarna style!

This is the first bike of a new era of Husqvarna which will bring some more road bikes besides the competition bikes and we are really proud of this new model! The bike will be in the showrooms by the end of the year. As mentioned above, the bike shown at the BMW Innovation Day is pre-series but it is very similar to the final product. You can call it Supermoto if you want, or Naked ... but we prefer just to call it: NUDA 900 R
