It may be designated a “cruiser,” but the DUCATI DIAVEL CARBON is anything but mild mannered. It sports a 1,198 cc V-twin engine with 162 horsepower and 94 foot-pounds of torque--which is to say it’ll go 0 to 60 mph in under 3 seconds. The bike’s 456 pounds are bolstered by a decidedly fat rear wheel stuck under the short tail of a sport bike--all the better for taking on unsuspecting challengers. Hands-free ignition, keyless locking, traction control, and adjustable ride modes underscore Ducati’s reputation as the most progressive motorcycle maker around. Carbon fiber fairing, polished-metal reservoir caps, and fastidiously painted trim lines complete the swagger. Just don’t call it a crossover. $20,000.

A recurring theme in the letters to the editor section of magazines and websites over the motorcycle is that readers want the motorcycle manufacturer to build a comfortable and affordable performance models. The fact that few consumers actually buy, such as bicycles, if they are offered from time to time, seems to make no difference to them. You wonder.
To that I say, quit yer Bitchin 'and go to your account. As the high-performance sport motorcycles A) are the second most common type of motorcycle on the road and B) that the project opportunities are usually overwritten are endless. I always wanted a fighter, a street sport has been stripped of its plastic body and kept with the style of a standard handlebars Ducati Supersport, so when I found a 2000 750SS on craigslist for (even) less $ 3000, I had to do. Law
Almost three years later, my project was completed (and, paradoxically, for sale), and how he got here, you may be interested.

Spain’s leading Ducati specialist has pulled another rabbit out of the hat with this terrific new racer. It’s a tribute to the 750 Imola Desmo, which carried Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari to victory in the legendary 1972 200-mile race at Imola. The engine of the RAD02 is a tuned 900 SS i.e. lump, with racing cams and optimized intake and exhaust ports. The frame is equally trick, being a custom-made chromoly steel item. It’s hooked up to an S4R swingarm, and a modified upside-down 43mm Showa front fork with low friction TiN treatment, taken from the 749S Testastretta. Indeed, most of the metallurgy on this bike is bespoke, and many body parts are carbon fiber. The bike is not road-approved, although this should be possible: Radical Ducati will be building more machines to order, and can modify the componentry as needed. Check the RAD02 product page for build details and a comprehensive array of images.

Dainese presents its own magazine - aptly titled SPEED
Known for protecting some of the all-time greats of motorcycling and thanks to the expertise reached in the safety field, Dainese has branched out into winter sports protection, mountain biking and a new equestrian range.
The Italian company is proud to present its own new mmagazine through a first publication dedicated to speed, which is aptly named Speed.
The magazine was created in partnership with creative English agency The Church of London and the main
concept comes from the history behind the devil’s logo, and from the prestigious heritage of a company that is approaching its 40th year. Great sources of inspiration have been sports people who count on Dainese to face their challenges: great riders and athletes such as nine-time MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi, the star
of the Tourist Trophy of the Isle of Man Guy Martin, skiing’s Maria Hoefl-Reisch and mountain-biking’s Karim Amour, who thanks to their stories uncover the charm of the sports where they are protagonists.
Looking through the pages of the magazine you will find a photographic section dedicated to Mountain of Hell mountain-bike race for MTB, Freeride and Downhill lovers, disputed in Les Deux Alpes. Moreover you can discover some products of Dainese’s new winter collection, shot in the exclusive location of Zermat(Switzerland) with a series of stunning landscapes.

Dianese - Valentino’s eye-a limited edition, now available
The limited edition of Valentino Rossi’s helmet with the big eye looking onto the world, worn by the many times Italian champion for the Mugello MotoGP 2011, is now available in the shops. A helmet which will attract attention given the unusual graphics developed jointly with Aldo Drudi and showing Valentino’s big blue eye along with the colours of the Italian flag,and certainly out of the ordinary since the Italian champion himself used it to launch an important message: “watch out because sooner or later there’s going to be a change”.
The helmet used for this collector’s piece, limited edition is a model which Valentino wears on a daily basis and is extremely familiar with. The GP-TECH, top of the AGV range, has been designed and developed with the technical support of the nine
times world champion; a helmet produced by merging the best features of the AVG race models (GP Pro, Ti-Tech ) with the Italian company’ racing experience to offer a lightweight, comfortable and extremely aerodynamic, innovative design.
