See what can happen when two stunt riders combine lack of coordination with speed in a short video supposed to determine showoffs to be themselves less often. I believe these guys learned their lesson thoroughly.

A Bugatti Veyron supercar can inspire people to a lot of things, including ordering a corresponsive two-wheeled version such as the one seen here. It is called the Veyron China 1 and, as you can suppose, it was built to meet the requirements of a biker and lucky 1000hp car owner.

Walz Hardcore Cycles built this in 18 months around their limited Iceman chassis, which was developed for the Ferarri chopper of a certain Kimi Raikkonen.

Although we have to admit that the name Veyron initially directed our thoughts towards something probably even better than the MV Agusta F4, this chopper doesn’t disappoint a bit, at least at a first look.

Triumph’s 2010 lineup will feature a Thruxton SE limited edition model that the British motorcycle manufacturer has created with the café racer style in mind.

Already an attractive motorcycle reminiscent of the classic sportbike style, the standard Thruxton is powered by an 865cc air-cooled parallel twin and it is based on a steel tubular frame. While these will also be the main features behind the 2010 Triumph Thruxton SE, the exclusive new bike comes in Triumph’s new Crystal White paint scheme with a red stripe. The sportier look is also enhanced by the presence of the new headlight cowl and red powdercoated frame but let’s not forget about the black engine cases, which contribute as well.

We totally dig the British idea of a special edition model and, if we look at the 2009 Triumph Daytona 675, it’s easy to see they’re making a tradition out of turning standard bikes into exclusive units.

Riding a high-tech motorcycle in a digital world sounds like the ultimate riding experience for the creators of Tron Legacy and the movie’s first official poster exploits this precise field. Scheduled to debut on December 17th, 2010, “the game that changed” will have plenty of Lightcycle races, just like the one in the official trailer here.

Presenting the 2010 model year, Suzuki gives a big slap on the necks of those who expected them to stop making the GSX-R 750. A bike that was successfully produced for decades and has even inspired the introduction of the GSX-R 600 back in the early 1990s carries on as a unique presence on a continuously growing market, but, apparently, one in which competitors can’t see the effectiveness of the 750cc sport bike.
