ICAR Superbike 2011

Those of you in Montreal area, do not forget that the ICAR Superbike is this weekend! There will be all kinds of bikes: from 125cc Hondas zipping around the track to 1000cc monsters, stuntmen and Harleys. Check the video from last year's event at Mirabel, after the break.

A guy embarrassing the Kawi 250R

I mean, look at him throwing his gloves at the innocent Ninja and kicking dust against it! It is not the bike's fault that he forgot to put fuel in it on time, is it? And what is he doing with the gear lever? It's not broken; Ninjas are unbreakable :)

Well... except for the light in which they show the motorcycle, it is not a bad song. At least, it's good to see this bike in a music clip. Now all that's left is to make a video with the ninja being the hero. Ninja FTW!

P.S. Can anyone identify the cruiser?

The Ducati Sound

Typical 4 cylinder superbike sound is a great thing to hear. The high revving machines can always get people's attention; but, could it be even better? I think Ducati Streetfighter S delivers a sound on a complete new level of brutality. Just as the beautiful exterior of this bike, the design of its sound is an art of its own. Check the videos after the break.

Riding in the rain

It is sometimes inevitable to ride in the rain. Anyone could get surprised by the weather, especially if you live in an area similar to mine where a third of the time it is raining. So what can we do to stay safe in these unpleasant conditions?

Lady Gaga and motorcycles

You could probably be one of the people who don't like Lady Gaga, but if you're not, then check this out. Lady Gaga is a biker girl! She is not wearing a helmet though. Wear your gear all the time.

Honda design change

A year ago, this was the motorcycle which I was in love with and which I wanted to have. What Honda has done this year, for a reason I cannot comprehend, is change this great looking bike's design with the one of the "futuristic" looking and new CBR250R.

Ninja 250R first impressions

I have received my first motorcycle and vehicle in general. So, here are my first impression after riding it for a while: IT IS AWESOME!

Bike in a box

Coming out of winter hibernation, I am trying to get back into the habit of posting in my blog.

How safe do you feel when riding (and some retro bikes)?

Riding a motorcycle can obviously be dangerous, especially when we have to share the roads with cars, trucks and various vehicles that can easily harm bikers. Have you ever felt scared though? Have you felt worried for your safety to the point where you wonder if it is worthy riding a motorcycle?

Isn't the Kawasaki Ninja 250r too slow?

Get a real bike. A 250 is too slow. And who said so? The crotch rocket suicidal rider? The ninja 250 is fast enough to beat most cars driving out there in the city. Check this acceleration YouTube clip showing you just how fast this bike can get you up to speed and forget about the 600cc motorcycles if you are a beginner.

Triumph Bonneville: beauty

I am not really into cruisers. This however is different. The Triumph Bonneville is what I call a standard type motorcycle, with its parallel-twin engine. It is a truly beautiful bike.

2011 innovation: Aprilia 125 RS4

2011 is now here and we are expecting the new Aprilia 125 RS4 to finally come to Canada. This small racer is a beautiful creation of the Italian brand intended for all starting riders. This is going to be an interesting year with all the new small displacement motorcycles, and this one is in direct competition with the old champion, the Honda CBR 125R. Read on for the specs.
