Ducati and Clothier Diesel Design Custom Motorcycle

Amidst all the talks about Ducati being on sale, comes a new refreshing piece of news. Ducati Motor Holding SpA is teaming with apparel maker Diesel to roll out the Monster Diesel, a special edition of the company’s popular standard or “naked” motorcycle. The new custom model is the latest move in a partnership that began last year with Diesel’s sponsorship of Ducati’s MotoGP racing team.A diesel edition monster 1100 EVO has been launched, which is in view of their partnership. The new model is based on the original Monster 1100 EVO with a military theme developed by the Ducati Design Centre  and Diesel founder Renzo Rosso.

Diesel Brave Green Matte against a backdrop of black trellis frame, wheels, engine cover, exhausts and forks. Yellow Brembo front brake caliper and Sachs Monoshock keep the contrast alive.

The companies unveiled the first product of the collaboration in New York and will introduce the bike in Diesel stores in Rome on March 22 and Tokyo-Shibuya March 29. Ducati and Diesel call the custom bike an “urban military chic interpretation” of the production Ducati Monster 1100EVO.

Ducati said its designers worked with Diesel founder Renzo Rosso to develop the new bike’s military-inspired theme.

The dual-branded Capsule Collection the companies share includes the motorcycles and a range of clothing from slim-fitting biker jackets, sweats and T-shirts to accessories. The companies said the items are “characterized by pure biker attitude.”

The Monster Diesel will be available at Ducati stores beginning in late July. The clothing goes on sale in mid-April at Diesel Stores, the Diesel online store and certain Ducati dealerships.

While the base Monster 1100 EVO was for $11,995, the stylized diesel edition can be grabbed for $13,795. Seriously, style comes at a price.

Royal Enfield USA unveils new model: C5 Special

Royal Enfield USA's top-of-the-line Bullet Classic 500 now comes as a bigger motorcycle, the C5 Special. You may need a magnifying glass to see the difference in photographs, but you'll feel the difference in your bottom.

The difference to your bottom line is likely to be only about $100.

For that you get a larger, 19-inch front wheel (as opposed to two 18-inch wheels on the C5 Classic), a somewhat different riding position and a straight front fork as opposed to the offset fork on the C5 Classic. The fork is the same length as before, but with different geometry.

The C5 Special will be available in all 50 states.

According to a notice that went out to U.S. Royal Enfield dealers last week, the C5 Special will appeal to larger riders who find the C5 Classic smallish but prefer its styling to the B5 and G5, which use the 19-inch front wheel.

The new fork and larger front wheel will give a more cruiser like feel on the highway. The C5 Classic will remain the choice for those who want maximum handling.

It is made in India and exported around the world. A bike that costs around Rs 1,20,000 (or around USD 2600) sells for almost the double the amount. Yes, bikers around the world seem to love it and that is the reason why Royal Enfield is all set to launch the Bullet Classic C5 Special in the US market for around US $ 6350. The company will also sell another variant, the Bullet G5 for around US $ 5995.

The new C5 Special will be available in all C5 colors except the Red Chrome.

HONDA CBR1000RR Fireblade 20th Anniversary - Special Edition.

So the new 2012 Honda Fireblade has only had a small number of changes made to it, but could it be that their effect is pretty impressive?

You can count on one hand the number of important changes Honda has made to the 2012 Fireblade. New Showa BPF fork, new Showa Balance Free Rear Cushion shock, new wheels, new styling and a new dash. Anything else counts as a tweak. So that means that power remains the same, the electronics package remains the same (non-existence except for the C-ABS option), and the chassis and ergonomics remain the same.
