Yale students build Spokeless Bicycle, now searching jobs

Posted by Yogesh On February - 18 - 2010

Just think again if you are moving to buy your next bike because students of Yale University have built a pretty rad spokeless bicycle, which was inspired by the lack of “pictures of a real spokeless bicycle online.” Spokeless-bicycle

Spokeless Bicycle is just a half-done product due to one semester and budget restraints, but that rear wheel driven by the pedals on its geared inner rim, should be enough to make you have.

Many students from Yale University have become the new group of bike pioneers because the team has actually eliminated one of the most recognizable bicycle components- the spoke. Students are very brainy and the bike definitely looks cool.

Practical hipsters might be able to fit an electric motor or some kind of container inside the wheel. The Yale grad who posted these photos is now available to hire, so pay him and you can have it your way.

So, any Shrine member with membership in good standing is eligible to buy a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle through the Shrine Purchase Program. If you live to ride then these iconic motorcycles are necessary for you.

2010 Yamaha FZ8 Naked Sportbike Officially Revealed

Posted by Yogesh On February - 2 - 2010

The Naked Sportbike that currently has entrants from the likes of Aprilia, Ducati and BMW, is about to get injection of Japanese know-how as Yamaha readies its upcoming new 2010 FZ8 for production. Yamaha seemingly sees room for a machine that splits the difference between the full FZ1 naked literbike and the smaller FZ6 (and FZ6R).

Yamaha-Fz8As I am not sure that Yamaha has not confirmed either the FZ8 or its fully-faired FZ8R sibling for North America (I will let you know the truth), but it may possible the models could make it Stateside if there is enough interest that’s why I am showing you this initial official image of the FZ8 from the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer. So, what is your opinion?

You can judge from this recent picture that the new Yamaha FZ8 appears to be based on the current FZ1 and rumors suggest the 800cc mill will be a downsized version of the ex-R1 engine with smaller bore and an identical stroke.

The official unveiling of Yamaha FZ8 is scheduled for March 12. I will let you know very soon but till then you just enjoy the teaser.

Mach Girl’s ATV-Based Mini Lamborghini Murcielago from Tokyo

Posted by Yogesh On January - 19 - 2010

The quad-bike-based Lamborghini replica is there to inspire another generation of Speed Racer fans and was crafted in honor of “Mach Girl.” This Mach Girl ATV-Based Mini Lamborghini Murcielago which is coming straight from the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 will definitely replace her Mach Pink three-wheeler to spin around in some high-stake races.

Lamborghini-Gallarado-Mach-Girl

You are absolutely right and and you should give yourself a pat on the back if you think that this quad-bike-based Lamborghini replica was that it was related to the “Speed Racer”, famous Japanese cartoon series.

The comic-esque baby Lamborghini Murcileago Gallardo was crafted in honor of “Mach Girl”, a TV series spin-off based on the original Speed Racer anime that was released a couple of years ago in Japan. You can look at the picture above.

Electric engine hi-power hybrid unveiled by Lawless Industries

Posted by Yogesh On January - 14 - 2010

hybrid motorcycleMy father love the staggered slow thump of a V-twin engine and there are also may people who still love the silent killers on the road. However, an American motorcycle builder is about to launch a new hybrid motorcycle to meet both the opposites in one. It can be powered by an electric motor, a regular internal combustion engine or both together and delivers almost 200bhp.

This great masterpiece is actually the result of collaboration between Lawless Industries and Orange County Choppers, who was the designer of a drive system that allows the rider to choose between the normal thud of a booming V-twin motor or the silent whirr of an electric power plant or both.

V-twin engine hybrid motorcycle includes following main features:

•    A touchscreen computer control system
•    Cameras on the front and back
•    Two electric motors
•    The regular petrol powered V-twin

This hi-power hybrid also produces 200 bhp if all the engines fire at once. One electric motor on its own produces 50bhp, enough for roughly 60 mph, whereas two electric motors running together deliver around 100bhp. The bike will be shown publicly on US TV on ‘American Choppers’ for the first time this week.

Hmm..my father choice is not bad.

The Ultimate Triton follows its own road

Posted by Yogesh Kumar On December - 29 - 2009

Triton

I am one of the most bike enthusiasts for whom the difference between fast and slow, comfort and pain, safe and unsafe matters a lot. This is where the CP Project One comes in to fit the best part of the best bike builders as well as of enthusiasts. It would not be an overstatement to call their recent work: Triton which is a dream bike for all enthusiasts.

This gorgeous Triton was built by the extraordinarily talented Daniel Delfour, one of France’s leading motorcycle builders and is the brainchild of Vincent Prat from Southsiders MC and French designers Frank Charriaut. Actually, there is a story behind ‘CP Project #1′. It was totally inspired by a trip to the 2008 Legend Of The Motorcycle event held in California; Delfour’s exquisite Norton Ala’verda caused a stir there, so the three friends made plans for a sequel.

The design was to create a low-slung and very slim motorcycle, all in black. A leading French fashion house was on board by this point, and the tightly imposed specifications proved to be a challenge. Frank, Delfour carved multi-part moulds for the bodywork in plywood, balancing the shapes and volumes of the tank and seat until the styling came together as a whole. Its featherbed frame is spacious whereas a Triumph 750 Bonneville engine is compact.

Its engine was rebuilt to original specifications by using a TR7 single-carburetor head instead of using the fussier stock twin-carb item. From French master builder Momo (who not only painted the bodywork in a black flake and the frame in gloss black), the visual finishing touches came, but created the exhaust system and heat guards also.

The finished motorcycle was then handed over to Benoit Gerry from Studio Ze for the first image captures. I hope you would like Triton.

World’s most expensive chopper brings a luxury yacht

Posted by Yogesh On December - 26 - 2009

chopper-yachtThe world’s most expensive chopper of price $22.7 million would definitely annoy any chopper lover. For the  delight of any adventure lover, its price tag includes a 45-meter luxury transoceanic yacht also. The House of Thunder, Lubek, Germany custom bike builders have taken the term ‘boys toys’ to a new level. They claim to have built the world’s most expensive chopper at the price of £14.2 million. The House of Thunder collaborated with Turkey-based Yacht manufacturer Sunrise Yachts.

This incredible 45 metre yatch with a rear garage that houses two jet skis, a rescue-boat and a custom Harley-Davidson, built and painted to match the boat’s livery. This bike is based on a stock Harley Rocker with hand-fashioned fenders, a cleaned-up frame and fuel tank. It also includes the features of a foldable handlebar allowing the bike to be lifted out and in of ‘parking position’ in the small garage in the rear of the boat.

Eric Vauth of House of Thunder had said that they will still build their normal custom bikes for their customers but this is a completely new market and they always welcome new impulses for markets.

So, the World’s most expensive chopper comes with a free yacht. What do you say?

Francesco Bertelli combines vintage and contemporary in your custom bike

Posted by Abhyudaya Tripathi On December - 23 - 2009

Francesco Bertalli bikeFrancesco Bertelli, New York-based designer is a genius as he doesn’t make only beautiful city bike but also has the ability to mix-match vintage and new bicycle parts truly make the bike luxury and unique. Francesco Bertalli brings out the design and sustainability together and has handcrafted a clean, beautiful and old-fashioned bicycle.

Francesco said that he has combined brand new parts with “new old stock” and vintage parts found at old bikeshops, flea markets, collectors and from his trustworthy suppliers.

The bicycle is equipped with Viking frame, vintage white Michelin tires, chrome vintage fork drilled for a front brake, rare Brooks B15 black, an old rare gipiemme crankset with a golden finish chain ring. To complete the setup a new branded wooden handlebar designed by Adam Brackney is taking the centre stage. The best thing is that the city bike has come without any logos and stickers.  The starting price for a complete bike is $1500.

So, the final result is that you can’t find exactly the same combination in any other bicycle out there. And I am definitely sure your bicycle will be unique.
