Buell Ulysses XB12X
With long-travel suspension, generous 171mm ground clearance, and aggressive Pirelli Scorpion Sync tyres, the Buell Ulysses XB12X can carry its rider over dirt, gravel and other unpaved road surfaces. On smooth pavement, the XB12X is a high-performance sport motorcycle, ready to blitz through the twisties.
Wide Supermoto style handlebars gives the rider extra leverage and control behind wind deflectors and a two-piece windscreen designed to limit buffeting. The broad, torque-laden powerband of the 94-hp Buell Thunderstorm 1203cc V-Twin engine gives the Ulysses the ability to proceed at lower speeds over unpaved roads with less gear shifting, and the power to bomb down paved backroads.

Husqvarna 250CR
1974 Husqvarna 250CR por The Yankee Guido, from huskyclub
1974 was again a milestone year for the leader of motocross competition motorcycles. The "Mag 250" was Husqvarna's ability to market to the public a true "works" caliber motorcycle. The "Mag 250" had an all magnesium engine case, reed valve intake, new swing arm with shocks moved foward, built in silencer on the expansion chamber, + more. This bike is still one of the most sought after AHRMA competition motocross bikes. It is both strikingly beautiful and quite a performer in the Sportsman classes.
This MK series Husky was the first year for the magnesium alloy, reed valve 250 engine. This model was an immediate success in the hands of privateers. Light and powerful, this model was more along the lines of of a true ultimate works motocross model that had been exclusive to 63-68 models. Mag 250 had the shock position on the swing arm moved foward, a newer generation expansion chamber with built in silencer, white plastic fenders, Akront alloy rims, and small front hub.

This is Piaggio MP3 , its performance is not at all bad.
Piaggio MP3 exceeds the one of some high end scooters, the Piaggio MP3 can lean up to 40° (most scooters can’t go farther than 35°) without compromising safety, grip is very good on twisty streets and roads, it's very stable and its braking capabilities are especially good.

Honda CR250
1988 Honda CR250. When this bike came out, that low slung expansion chamber was cutting edge for MX bikes. This was considered a big leap forward in bike design that was soon used by all the manufacturers. It helped to lower the center of gravity, which is very critical to the handling of the bike.

Don't get fooled by this bike. It might look like a standard bike to many but it is a highly sophisticated motorcycle. To produce this ride, Honda took some of the best elements from the Blackbird and the Honda VFR and packaged them into this fine machine.
