Honda CB836 Chopper Motorcycle
1978 Honda CB836 Chopper Motorcycle
The motor had been built up with an 836 kit and an electronic ignition. The bike absolutely screamed for a CB. The power increase from these mods is significant.

Kawasaki KZ750
Kawasaki KZ750
This bike sucked. like KZ650's and LOVE the KZ440 motor, but the KZ750 is just not for me. It has the same goofy early 80's styling as the CSR and is put together just as terribly.

Aprilia SVX 550
This is very interesting.
A motorbike made with SVX 550 engine, frame and swingarm, with RS 125 parts.
It means high power on a very light motorbike, It's still a prototype.

They are great mid sized bikes for all around use. It's lightweight for around town but powerful enough for long rides.

The Suzuki V-Storm DL650 inherits much of its mechanical equipment and running performance from the successful SV-650, but it’s fitted with an adventure touring bodywork, upright bars, and a long travel suspension.
This multipurpose motorcycle from Suzuki behaves pretty well either on tarmac or light to moderate off-road conditions.

Peugeot Satelis
Peugeot Satelis
Scooters are cute alternatives to full-blown cycling machines and they’ll quickly satisfy the need for just getting around town in comfort and style.
Some benefits of scooters are:
- Easy to handle and maneuver in traffic.
- Very comfortable.
- They are fast and powerful enough for the city.
- They normally come fitted with one or two containers to place stuff (helmet, gloves, papers, groceries, etc.).
- They are normally equipped with an electric starter.
- Most scooters have automatic gear boxes.
This model from Peugeot, the "Satelis", is a very nice alternative for people looking for a fine scooter.

Quote from Ducati's official Website
"The 1098 S wins the 2007 Superstock World Cup Championship in its debut year - The first International title for our new Superbike."
"The priority in every step of the 1098 development has been performance first. Every system, every detail and every component has been studied and pared down to its essence and performance increased to the maximum. If it didn’t make the 1098 lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times, it wasn’t considered."
End of quote
It is fitted with a 1099 cc engines that produces 160 hp at 9750rpm and a torque of 90.4 lb-ft (12.5 kg-m) at 8000rpm.

Yamaha TW 125
Hybrid bike from Yamaha Motorcycles.
You can see elements from an enduro motorcycle and a trail bike, plus a big fat rear tire for sand and light off road riding. Not sure what kind of market Yamaha was targeting with this one...
Anyway, it can be a good option for a beginner looking into a motorcycle in the 125 cc range that can take some light off road abuse.

Honda CX500 Turbo Motorcycle
Honda CX500 Turbo Motorcycle
This motorcycle features a turbocharged engine, in which a turbine extracts waste energy from the exhaust and drives a compressor which supplies the engine with air at more than twice atmospheric pressure. A complex air-intake system and computer controlled fuel injection and ignition timing systems are used to reduce the lag, producing an engine which is both powerful and tractable. The CX500 Turbo has a 497 cc V-twin, water-cooled, four-stroke engine and a five-speed gearbox. Its maximum speed is 120 mph (192 km/h).
