Honda CEO talks CBR500, MotoGP-replica Speaking earlier today, Honda CEO Takanobu Ito made some interesting remarks about both the upcoming CBR500 that we spied last week, but also an unexpected new superbike that'll carry forward the heritage of bikes like the RC30 while drawing technology from the firm's MotoGP bikes. In short: yes! On the CBR500: "In the area of large-sized motorcycles, following the New Mid Series, Honda will intr... By HFL Staff News - Sep 21 2012 -
Without traction control and down on power, can the 2012 Honda CBR1000RR still compete? It’s easy to feel a bit sorry for liter bikes as 2011 slowly becomes 2012. They’ve reached some sort of pinnacle — without exception the entire class is now so impossibly fast that the bikes have become distinguished not by power or handling, but by the efficacy of electronic rider aids. Even while technology progresses exponentially, model cycles are stretching longer and longer and cash-st... By HFL Staff News - Dec 18 2011 -
GoGo, Bozo and the neo-moto hipster hobo/bobo-nouveau (with an afro). It’s the next big thing! How many of them are out there? Half finished, taken apart, half-assed “Café Racers” languishing away in living room corners, in basements, in lawnmower sheds, under blue tarps and on the street. Yamaha RD350s, XS650s, Honda CB350s, CB550s. All with wiring pulled apart and vacant spark plug holes. Most got as far as a set of clubman bars that caused giant floppy loops in throttle cables and b... By JT Nesbitt News - Jul 25 2011 -
This is the Ducati 1199 Less than a week ago, Motociclismo.it teased us with with a leaked Ducati 1199 photo. Since then, there has been much speculation about every detail of the bike. Now that Motociclismo has published more shots, we can start to make more educated guesses about the bike. Immediately obvious is the LED headlight that we saw last week. Taste is subjective, but if I had to describe it, I'd say that i... By Sean Smith News - Jul 4 2011 -
Spy Photo: 2012 Ducati superbike hits the road Yesterday, we brought you the very first image of the 2012 Ducati superbike testing at Mugello in SBK trim. Now, here’s the first picture of the production machine that will hit dealers next year. Make no mistake, this is going to be a radically different motorcycle to the current 1198, just check out the under-engine exhaust, horizontal shock, lack of a traditional steel trellis frame and tiny ...

Spy Photo: 2012 Ducati Superbike Italian magazine MotoSprint managed to snag this image of the 2012 Ducati Superbike as it tested alongside the Ducati GP12 at Mugello last week. Immediately striking is the machine’s diminutive size. Liter bikes the size of 600s have become somewhat normal, but this thing looks about as big as a 250. There’s also a horizontal shock, a very long single-sided swingarm and not an awful lot of roo... By HFL Staff News - May 31 2011 -
Buell 1190RS gets official, marketing gets officially weird This whole guerrilla slow-release-marketing-teaser-video thing that bike makers have finally caught on to might be going a bit too far. As usual, there's not a lot to go on, but what we know so far is the Erik Buell Racing 1190RS will be seen in a teaser video of some sort on Tuesday, September 14th. Plus the dude from Queensryche is involved, and is debuting his new band's hot upcoming single. No... By Grant Ray News - Sep 7 2010 -
Ducati quits World Superbike Ducati is quitting the racing series it helped popularize and that came to define its corporate success. This morning, Ducati announced it would no longer field a factory team in SBK, instead concentrating on MotoGP. Reading between the lines, it's easy to jump to the much-rumored conclusion that the money Ducati had been putting towards seeing its 1198 lose to the Aprilia RSV4 will now go towards...

HFL + RSV4 Factory = NYPD This is what happens when you ride a barely less than thoroughbred racing machine on Manhattan's Harlem River Drive. The Aprilia RSV4 Factory got me nailed at 80 in a 50 earlier today. The officer cornered me in the far left lane, stopped traffic and made me walk the bike across four lanes to the 125th Street exit. During rush hour. Granted, the rest of traffic was doing 75 when he popped me, I go... By Grant Ray News - Apr 8 2010 -
Mat Mladin retires from AMA Pro Racing Photo: JCusioMat Mladin has had enough of the ridiculous rules, unprofessional management and extreme disorganization of AMA Pro Racing.

He's also planning to sit out this weekend's American Superbike race in Topeka over safet... By HFL Staff News - Aug 1 2009 -
