British motorcycle manufacturer Triumph and Swiss watch manufacturer TAG Heuer have collaborated to create a special, one-of-a-kind “Bonneville Heuer” Triumph motorcycle.

The TAG Heuer Bonneville features a unique [...] more]]> ]]> http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/11/10/motorcycle-news/steve-mcqueen-inspired-motorcycle/feed/ 0

The last time I rode one of Kawasaki’s 110cc MX bikes, I was banging elbows with Gary Nixon in a journo race on Max Yasgers, I mean Mertens Dairy farm in beautiful Sonoma, California. Battling against experienced racers, a muddy track and humorous rider-to-motorcycle ergonomics, I managed to outshine all of the racing glory at the [...] more]]> ]]> http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/11/09/manufacturers/kawasaki/2010-kawasaki-klx110-launch/feed/ 1

On November 4, the same day that the Mavizen TTX02, the world’s first production electric superbike, was unveiled at the 2009 SEMA event in Las Vegas, TTXGP (Time Trial eXtreme Grand Prix) and Infineon Raceway of Sonoma, CA, announced a joint plan to run the “first-ever zero carbon motorcycle race in the United States.” According to [...] more]]> ]]> http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/11/09/motorcycle-news/electric-bike-gp-coming-to-u-s/feed/ 0

In September, Fonzie brought us a report on the 2010 Spyder RT direct from the Can-Am beehive in Valcourt, Quebec, Canada. With more carrying capacity than ANY motorcycle on the market — even some automobiles —- Can-Am sent touring guru and friend-of-MO, Fred Rau, on a tour of Canada and the United States to promote the [...] more]]> ]]> http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/11/05/videos/can-am-spyder-rt-5-highlight-video/feed/ 1

Though it’s generally recognized as a car tuner’s paradise, this year’s SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show in Las Vegas is not without two-wheel appeal. The world’s first production electric superbike, the Mavizen TTX02, was unveiled on Tuesday. The bike has been nicknamed a ‘laptop on wheels’ and is being produced by TTXGP (Time Trial Xtreme [...] more]]> ]]> http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/11/04/videos/electric-superbike-unveiled-at-sema/feed/ 1

With the new Concours, Kawi created its first traction control system. Unlike the ABS, the rider can disable or enable KTRC, and can do so on the fly.

It is [...] more]]> ]]> http://blog.motorcycle.com/2009/10/29/motorcycle-news/2010-kawasaki-concours-14-traction-control-video/feed/ 0
