I spoken about Chris Pfeiffer multiple times at this point and he has one multiple championships as one the best stunt riders out there and this just proves the point. He takes the BMW F 800 R to the BMW Headquarters and basically goes nuts, takes it all the way to the top of the tower, and the best part is the blank look of the employees at BMW. This is what I like about BMW even though they are very systematic, there is thing about them that goes wild with their ideas every once in a while and I think Chris just proved that point, loved the flip at the end.
There is no question that I am a huge fan of BMW Motorcycles, especially what they have done over the past 5 years, they have really developed their machines and stuck to their own ways and track. Now they have a very diverse set of machines each for a different type of rider, and one of those achievements have been the ABS system that BMW has been perfecting after each generation and they have gotten pretty good at it.
As being the fan of the BMW K1200R, since I have one, and the new K1300R which looks just as aggressive I’m happy to see BMW building their 1 millionth ABS equipped motorcycle. That is Hannes Jaenicke, a die hard BMW Motorcycle rider also an actor/writer, in all the pictures. BMW Motorcycle have always been the most technologically advanced machines and seeing these pictures makes me want to go riding right now.

The Ducati 1098/1198 is one of Ducatis most successful machines and I am a huge fan of this beautiful machine, now this is an interesting machine from Red Fenix. You will have a pretty much race ready machine with amazing paint job a lot of the works, but a tad bit over priced when your better off get the 1098R or the upcoming 1198R which is pretty much race ready and almost unbeatable on the road. If you are looking for that one off machine then the Scuderia 1198S is the way to go, and of course you have €100,000 to spare.

From the guys who created the Wraith, the new Confederate P120 Fighter looks like it was chiseled out of one block of metal. 160 bhp and 145 lbs-ft of torque this bike will go pretty quick.
It has some similarities to the Wraith but its one unique machine with a 1966cc engine. No price yet but I’m assuming you would have to give up an organ for this machine.

I was just reading through Uptill1.com and I came across the new Desert Kings 2 Jokers video, this time its wet and wild. This is from the drivers of GulfRun, seems like they are keeping themselves busy this summer and some of those water tricks would cause me a ridiculous amount of pain. The editing and production work is from Negativeffects, just as great as the last video, these guys were really riding the wake. I was wondering what they were doing when I saw them out by the water, now it makes complete sense.
Now with all these cool videos, I want to see some more work, maybe some more action in the water. My favorite parts are always the bloopers, there had to be a few of them in water, keep up the great work.
This has been bouncing around online since a couple of days ago now, and every time I see I say to myself that I want one. I don’t know how is going to be possible but I’m going to get myself inside that suit. I think I would have to lose at least 25 Kgs to get into that suit and tone up, but one way or another I want to put it on and then put on the Batman helmet and get on my bike. Now all I need are the 50. caliber machine guns attached to the bike and I am good to go.

Ken Block is forever famous for his rally driving skills and those insane videos, but Ricky Carmichael isn’t as famous to the general public but he is one hell of a dirt biker probably one of the best period. This video is probably one of the most intense I have seen from Kenny Block, less stunts and more insane driving and it gets a lot better towards the middle. Top Gear did a great job of putting this video together, these guys seriously know how to get our bloods pumping.
These are becoming one of those traditional meet ups at Monterey during MotoGP weekend. Everyone heading to Mazada Raceway Laguna Seca converge at Monterey for the weekend and the town embraces them. They shutdown the main street of downtown Monterey, Cannery Row, for one of the most diverse meet ups around. Now its riding season in the states when its gotten ridiculously hot over here. I even know how much fun the roads are to ride over there, amazing coastal road and a few in the mountains. Check out a lot more pictures at the link.

I find the European custom motorcycle builders to be the most interesting since they are free to work with any type of machine they have in mind, not just sticking to choppers. Ludovic Lazareth is one of those builders, he builds one off bikes, trikes, and cars, and this time around its a Yamaha FZ1.
Its one mean looking bike with that supercharger belt on the side, and it looke to be a comfortable ride. I don’t even know how something like this would handle and how fast it would be, but you can own one for the low price of €40,000 ($56,000).

I couldn’t believe these beauties in front of my eyes, Ducati have perfected an Art form. I got a text from Salem @ Tristar telling me that the Streetfighter and the Streetfighter S were both on the show room floor. I took off as soon as I landed from Singapore. The pearl white from Ducati is beautiful from every angle, they even had one pearl white 1198 just behind the two of these beauties. Then there was the red Streetfighter S which I couldn’t keep my hands off of, I really wanted to throw my leg over the machine and take off. I want to congratulate the owners of the machine whoever they are going to be.
Ducati have really struck a cord with these beauties and I really think they will expand to other beautiful machines. I didn’t know how they could improve on the 1098, then they came out with the 1198. I can’t wait to try the Streetfighter, it looks so enticing, and inviting to ride, I bet the experience would be exhilarating. The Streetfighter is selling 5250 KD and the Streetfighter S is going for 6250 KD, and I think these prices are comparable to the UK. The beauty of the lines, the curves, the shades of this machine have been crafted by an artist, it calls to any rider next to it.
