<p>I would love one of these. </p>
<p>Parker Brothers has created an all-electric replica model of a Tron Light Cycle. The bike&#39;s 96-volt electric motor has a range of about 100 miles, and only needs a 15 to 35 minute charge. Parker Brothers also says that the bike can reach up to 100 MPH.</p>
<p>	It&#39;s currently not street legal, but the Parker Brothers have said they are looking at that. Not info on price yet, or how many of them will be made, but there was a gas version not too long ago that sold for $35,000.</p>
<p>You can watch the YouTube video of the bike in action <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;v=irkxIpNBJJU" onclick="window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;">HERE</a>.</p>

<p>Nice bike, but I don&#39;t love it. It&#39;s a little basic looking for me. Not that I would ever turn it down if someone wanted to buy me one, but that&#39;s not exactly the best judge of what I would buy myself. There&#39;s not a whole lot of details on the bike just yet, but should be popping up soon. Here&#39;s the details so far:</p>
<p>Ducati and Mercedes AMG have proudly announced that the first public showing of the Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition will be at the 64th International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany from 15-25 September. The 2012 flagship model of the Diavel family is a tribute to the AMG luxury-sport brand and is intended for passionate connoisseurs of technology, engineering detail and exclusive style.</p>
<p>	Based upon the Diavel Carbon, the Diavel AMG Special Edition features AMG&#39;s signature 5-spoke wheel styling, carbon fibre lateral radiator grills with aluminium trim, AMG-style sport exhaust system with engraved end-caps and AMG-style horizontally ribbed seat upholstery. The model&#39;s incredible attention to performance detail also ensures that every engine has its Desmodromic cam-timing set by hand and authenticated with the name of the engine technician engraved on the left-side engine casing. Further underlining the model&#39;s exclusivity, each motorcycle will have a numbered plaque on the fuel tank.</p>
<p>	The award-winning Ducati Diavel has had massive first-year success for the Italian motorcycle manufacturer, its bold design merging the worlds of power and style with absolute precision to set a new industry standard for the segment.</p>
<p>	Hand-built &#8211; as with all Ducati motorcycles &#8211; the exclusive new Diavel AMG Special Edition is dressed in matte black carbon fibre bodywork with AMG&#39;s very own &quot;Diamond White Bright&quot; stripe and frame colour contrasted with black wheels. The special edition wheels, seat and exhaust end-caps are all AMG branded while &quot;AMG&quot; is also laser-engraved into the air-duct panels either side of the fuel tank. The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition and dedicated leather jacket and helmet apparel will be available in early 2012 with orders opening to coincide with the first public showing at the Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany. </p>

<p>Awesome looking bike, but seeing how it&#39;s a custom build, it&#39;s going to be out of most people&#39;s reach. Here&#39;s the details from the site:</p>
<p>It&#39;s not only for four-wheeled luxury vehicles that the top-quality range from high-end manufacturer MANSORY has received awards; its genuine custom bike is famous too. This is shown most impressively by the MANSORY bike Zapico, developed in collaboration with bike customiser Thomas M. George.</p>
<p>	The hand of company boss Kourosh Mansory is plain to see: the finest carbon, most lavishly processed, decorates the impressive-looking cruiser while the front mask, bug spoiler, seat module, primary shield and silencer as well as the applications on the fuel tank, the frame, fork, wheel rims and airbox all originate from the MANSORY factory in the town of Brand in the Upper Palatinate region of Bavaria. The bike&#39;s leatherwork is further testament to the exquisite craftsmanship applied &ndash; unmistakeably MANSORY.</p>
<p>	The custom bike is driven by a powerful 124 cubic inch (around 2,080 cm&sup3;) V2 engine made by the well-known American engine manufacturer S&amp;S. This large two-cylinder engine delivers a full 160 hp to the extra-large rear tyres and can accelerate the 340 kg bike from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds.</p>
<p>	Company owner and namesake Kourosh Mansory and his team have been customising exclusive car brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Porsche and Rolls Royce since 1989. MANSORY stands for high-tech production combined with master craftsmanship and the finest materials. Harmoniously designed aerodynamics packages, ultra-light aluminium wheel rims and powerful engine performance upgrades form the basis of the company&#39;s technology range. Top-quality accessories and stylish interiors complete the range.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can check out the bike&quot;s details, and more pictures, at the Mansory site <a href="http://www.mansory.com/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>

<p>I can&#39;t say much for the paint job on the bike, but overall it&#39;s a pretty cool design. Here&#39;s the press release:</p>
<p>Harley-Davidson and Bell &amp; Ross<br />
	Combination of Expertise : An icon Watch for an icon Bike</p>
<p>
	Bell &amp; Ross watches and Shaw Harley-Davidson &ndash; the current world champions in modified Harley-Davidson&reg; motorcycles &ndash; have teamed up to develop a one-off custom motorcycle: the Bell &amp; Ross-inspired Nascafe Racer.</p>
<p>	Shaw Harley-Davidson is a leading dealership in the United Kingdom and six times award winner for best UK Dealer. They approached Bell &amp; Ross about a bike design project that was inspired by the watchmakers&rsquo; vision on performance, precision and engineering. The same technical exactness that Bell &amp; Ross rule by was taken into account with the build of the unique motorcycle.</p>
<p>	The way that master watchmakers Bell &amp; Ross develop and assemble their timepieces was reflected by the Shaw Harley-Davidson master technicians when building the project bike, which is based on the Harley-Davidson&reg; FXSTB Softail&reg; Nightrain, one of the more radical Softails &ndash; long, low and naked and named by<br />
	Willie G. Davidson.</p>
<p>	The motorcycle was totally stripped down to every last nut and bolt in the Speed &amp; Custom workshop of the East Sussex dealership, and every detail was taken into account on the rebuild.</p>
<p>	Using the BR 01 Carbon &ndash; the iconic instrument produced by Bell &amp; Ross &ndash; the Shaw Speed and Custom team mounted the timepiece in a handcrafted centre console using a machined section of aluminium. The watch mounting positioned the timepiece in a perfect place for its original function as a professional tool for the rider. A combination of anodised blue, carbon and stealth-like matt black custom paint was used on the bike<br />
	to reflect the timepiece.</p>
<p>	&quot;We wanted to mirror the Bell &amp; Ross timepiece wherever we could on the motorcycle and to ensure that the essential piece was never compromised by superfluous design or items,&quot; said Steve Willis, Shaw Harley-Davidson Sales Director and Head of the Speed &amp; Custom design wing of the dealership.</p>
<p>	&quot;We were immediately excited by this project, explains Bruno Belamich Designer and co-founder of Bell &amp; Ross. We identified with the values portrayed by Harley-Davidson, values that we share like the search for the extremes, adventure and precision&quot;</p>
<p>	The Bell &amp; Ross mission statement is that every detail has its purpose and function. This technical exactness is expressed through pure lines and timeless elegance and is one that has inspired and driven the Shaw Harley-Davidson team in the United Kingdom to design and build this one-off Custom motorcycle.</p>
<p>	The bike was a crowd pleaser on its debut at the American Motorcycle Dealer (AMD) World Championship round of Modified Harley-Davidson Class at the London International Custom Bike Show at Alexandra on February 26 and 27. The bike will be seen at other events including:</p>
<p>	- The Dublin International Motorcycle Show<br />
	- Custom Chrome European Show Mainz<br />
	- St Tropez Harley-Davidson Euro Festival<br />
	- Bournemouth International Custom Motorcycle Show</p>
<p>	Bell &amp; Ross hopes that this partnership will allow Shaw Harley-Davidson to qualify for, and defend their world title, in Sturgis USA in August 2011. </p>

<p>This might be $55,000, but the coolness/geek factor might be worth it. Here&#39;s the details:</p>
<p><span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_r_ctl01_p_detailDescription">This is the illuminated, street-legal motorcycle inspired by the computer animated cycle from the 2010 film Tron: Legacy. Designed for casual cruising and slow ride-bys at shows, it is made from a steel frame covered by a fiberglass cowling that replicates the sleek look of its computer-generated imagery counterpart. Electroluminescent strips built into the tire cowlings, wheel rims, and body illuminate the cycle. It is powered by a fuel-injected Suzuki 996cc, 4-stroke engine. Riders lay at a near-horizontal position astride the padded leather seat, with feet on foot pegs that control its 6-speed constant mesh manual transmission and hands on the handlebars for throttle and braking. The hubless wheels are former truck tires built up then custom-shaped to fit onto one of two counter-rotating rims spinning within each other, providing the broad-tired authenticity of the computer cycles from the movie. A chain-driven friction drum manages acceleration and braking from the handlebars. It has spring-loaded front and rigid rear suspension. Its wet sump lubrication system eliminates tubes and hoses for oil pick-up, facilitating its streamlined, minimalist design. It uses a 3 1/2-gallon main fuel tank and 1 1/4-gallon reserve tank. All cycles are built to order.</span></p>

<p>I really like the overall look of the Confederate bikes. Though I would still like to see one in person to really see what they are like. I mentioned the Wraith awhile ago <a href="http://vicepost.com/?s=hellcat" target="_blank">HERE</a>, and I have to say I like the look of this one a lot more. It keeps the Confederate look, but also seems to have a little more traditional look to it also. Here&#39;s some details:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Hellcat Combat is presented as a limited edition variant of the second and final generation of the Hellcat series. The Combat features a design specific hand ported and polished head design, ultra high compression, special camshaft grind, retuned intake system, which harmoniously result in a 12% gain in rear wheel horsepower and a 4% increase in rear wheel torque. Front and rear compression and rebound suspension rates are recalculated for superior handling, more detailed feedback and increased rider control.</p>
<p>	A new sport seat and Combat specific finish completes the machine. The result is an exotic balance of power and beauty. A discreet &quot;Combat&quot; insignia is engraved on the outer primary machined aircraft-grade aluminum timing chest.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can check out a few more pictures, and all of the bikes stats, at the Confederate site <a href="http://www.confederate.com/confederate3/hellcat.php" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img align="left" alt="" height="332" hspace="5" src="http://vicepost.com/wp-content/uploads/talon.jpg" vspace="5" width="498" />Not excited about the color, but this looks like a great machine. No idea on the price, but hopefully it&#39;s within reach. Here&#39;s the details:</p>
<p>LAS VEGAS, NV. (Oct. 27, 2010) &ndash; The new Talon Motors &ldquo;Invader&rdquo; provides two occupants with the side-by-side seating comfort of a sports car and levels of performance that were once available only to those willing to straddle a super bike. Enclosed in striking original body work, this unique reverse trike three wheeler (two steering front wheels, one rear drive wheel) uses a 1,300cc Hayabusa engine to propel it to 60 mph in under four seconds and can reach top speeds of up to 150 mph.</p>
<p>	&ldquo;The Invader really offers its owner the best of two worlds,&rdquo; said Tom Sliger, Talon Motors vice president and creator of the Invader. &ldquo;It delivers the power and road hugging closeness and thrills of a super bike, but allows its two occupants to sit side-by-side in the safety and comfort of an enclosed cockpit. It has a steering wheel and pedals just like a sports car, but it offers a totally unique driving experience that is unlike anything on the road.&rdquo;</p>
<p>	The Invaders frame is constructed from one-and-a-half-inch tubular steel with a front crash zone, triangulated side protection bars and a complete roll-cage around the cockpit. Its fiberglass body includes a Lexan windshield to protect two occupants that are comfortably strapped into car-like seats with three-point safety belts. Driving the rear wheel is a two hundred horsepower Hayabusa power plant capable of pushing this reverse trike to speeds approaching 150 mph. Its fully adjustable suspension provides precision handling and four piston brake calipers will stop it on the proverbial dime.</p>
<p>	In building the Invader Sliger and Talon Motors president and partner Sandy Hall wanted to produce a totally unique reverse trike that would provide elements of performance, style and comfort unheard of in the market place. To help them turn this dream into a reality they contacted Adam Canni of Canni Design. &ldquo;We looked at what was available on the market and decided that we would try and build what we like to call a High Performance Reverse Trike, or HPRT,&rdquo; said Canni. &ldquo;We wanted it to deliver the thrills and performance of a super bike while surrounding its occupants in a much safer and more comfortable cockpit that actually allows you to sit next to your passenger. The end result is the Invader, an exotic powerful machine unlike anything else on the road.&rdquo;</p>
<p>	The Invader&rsquo;s cockpit has been designed for easier entry and exit with lower sills and a removable steering wheel. Inside the cockpit there is comfortable seating designed to carry two six-foot, two hundred pound-plus passengers. The Invader&rsquo;s controls are much the same as would be found in any sports car &#8211; a steering wheel, gas, brake and clutch pedals and a six-speed sequential shifter with an electric reverse gear. A full compliment of gauges round out the cockpit and built in passenger side storage compartment and removable saddlebag-style totes make the Invader ideal for weekend escapes. </p>
<p>	&ldquo;The Talon has really been a collaborative effort between Tom, myself and Adam,&rdquo; says Sandy Hall, President of Talon Motors. &ldquo;We wanted to create a new level of comfort, performance and sensation that did not exist before. Combine that with its jaw dropping looks, and I think we&rsquo;ve designed and built an exotic vehicle that provides more bang-for-the-buck than anything out there.&rdquo;</p>
<p>	Talon Motors recently announced a combined campaign with long time exotic car enthusiast and rock-and-roll legend, Sammy Hagar. Talon Motors and Hagar are currently working to design a signature series, &ldquo;Red Rocker&rdquo; edition of the Invader in 2011. The &ldquo;Red Rocker&rdquo; model will contain design and performance elements influenced by both Hagar and the Talon design team.</p>
