As we have seen in various cases, motorcycle riders are likely to end up in jail with a single too enthusiastic twist of the throttle, but the guy in this video has found an easier way for him to achieve that exact purpose by making his very own motorcycle rocket launchers and fitting them to his Honda CBR600RR motorcycle. As you can suppose, the things flew all over the place, but at least we get the promise of much more accurate shooting for the next videos. Meanwhile, check this one out after the break.

Backflips have long become part of Travis Pastrana’s routine, but he is always finding new ways of making the old trick even more spectacular. He even did the stunt with the shoe bike not long ago and his latest achievement is the backflip from building to building. He was definitely very confident in his ability to pull out the stunt because there was no safety net involved.

Curious to see “what a big tree – which is four or five meters long – with a speed of more than one hundred km per hour looks like,” Chinese artist Shi Jinsong has created what he calls the tree motorbikes, meaning that his work starts at the point where dead nature hugs a motorcycle/scooter chassis for art’s sake.

Displayed at the ‘China – Contemporary Revival’ exhibit taking place in Milan, Italy until February 7, 2010 Shi Jinsong’s work is definitely something else among the multitude of paintings and sculptures also displayed there.

Although he does mention to have built these with working motorcycle parts, the Chinese artist does not say if they’re actually made to be ridden or not. We hope they are because that would make their creator happy and we’ll be looking for some action pics if we hear they do.

Yamaha North America is wishing you Happy Holydays by using the Rossi-Spies-Stewart trio in a Christmas card that is both rewarding (for fans) and funny (just look at them).

Personally, I have the impression that one of the Yamaha stars will suddenly jump on a snowmobile or anything similar and tear the roof of that cabin apart, but they all look pretty happy in the short time away from races, especially Valentino Rossi, who is holding his “Phillip Island kitten”.

When people say Suzuki sportbikes, they usually think at the famous GSX-R series and no matter what, they usually end up talking about the Hayabusa model. But the SV650SA ABS is one very good example that there are also other sportsbikes made by the Japanese manufacturer and we can say they’re quite good. This precise model carries on as a 2010 model with color scheme changes and standard ABS, but the interesting part about it is that, although being powered by a midsized V-twin, it competes with four-cylinder bikes. Let’s see what more.
