Ducati Multistrada V4 Engine Revealed as 170 HP Granturismo

by Daniel Patrascu from https://www.autoevolution.com Come November 4, a new Ducati bike will be revealed. Called Multistrada V4, the two-wheeler is supposed to be the worldā€™s first production motorcycle to be fitted with front and rear radars. But perhaps of more importance to us is the fact that it will use a brand new V4 engine, one the bike maker revealed on Thursday (October 15). Because the powerplant is meant to animate the fourth and most advanced generation of the Multistrada V4, nothing was left to chance and, starting from the existing tech and taking inspiration from MotoGP, a beautiful piece of hardware was created. Somewhat smaller that the version it replaces (85 mm shorter, 95 mm lower, but 20 ...

Harley-Davidson Brave Guy Is the Fat Boy the Terminator Should Have Ridden

by Daniel Patrascu from https://www.autoevolution.com Terminator 2: Judgement Day will probably remain the most famous movie in the franchise, as no matter the efforts put into coming up with something better, no subsequent flick rose to its level. Story aside, what made the movie great was the still young Arnold, his T-800 , and the tools and weapons he used to fight off the bad robot chasing John Connor. One of the machines used in the movie was a 1991 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. Thanks to the status of the movie, the motorcycle is considered one of the greatest two-wheelers to ever be captured on film, partly on account of a rather impressive chase scene (see video below for more). Now, ...

Babes Ride Out: The Whole Story

It was 2013 when we ran into each other at Born Free. In 2012 I sold Anya the bike I learned to ride on, which was a Yamaha XS350 and I knew she had recently upgraded to a new H-D. I was in the same boat, proud owner of a purple Sportster with a flame seat and chrome junk all over it. I didnā€™t care what it looked like, it was mine and I was going to ride it. Anya is a force of energy, kind, humble, and has been riding dirt bikes since the day she could walk. I was gaining my confidence and maxing out at turtle speeds around steep curves but becoming a better rider every day. ...

Sam’s Picks for the Week, October 12, 2020

Remember when life was simple. We thought about Weed, Whiskey, Women and of course Wheels. We didnā€™t much care about four wheels just two and mostly choppers. Hell, in my day, we would jump off a building to see how it felt. I know guys who went into a bar just to see how long it took before they got into a fight. We were bikers and nuts, loaded on reds flying down a freeway on a bike held together with bailing wire. Fuck it, letā€™s ride. We partied and slept on the beach, ran from the cops, slept with the mayorā€™s old lady, it didnā€™t matter. We loved being on the edge. When I was in Jr. High, we ...
