A Dangerous Machine

I love when you still see people creating purely from within. Forget all the trends, all the social media, this BMW was created from one person. It’s pretty crazy when could be created when your decisions aren’t altered by influences in social media. Some may call this bike a complete disaster, but I don’t think that’s the point. I think admiring this machine as a unique creation, that will never be build again, is how we should go about it. It does remind me of a terminator, end of the world type bike with a steam punk influence. You just really can’t put your finger on it. But it looks like a beast. But hey, watch the video. He explains his thought process pretty damn well. It sure gets you thinking.

Great video btw, very well done.

For years now the TX2K12 event has brought some of the fastest cars in the country together to dish it out. And with the fastest car, comes some insane street racing coverage. It’s pretty crazy when you think about how fast these streetable 1000-16000 hp cars came around. I mean 5-6 years ago, this was unheard of. 1500hp in a car without losing any creature comforts and not sounding like it was about to blow up? That’s just nuts. Modern technology I guess. We’ve come a long way. Every year we get to see these uber-high horsepower cars go at it on the highway. This video features a couple Lambos, a Supra, and a bike. Remember when we all used to think nothing was ever faster then a motorcycle on the street? Not anymore. Crazy!

It literally must feel like your getting raped when you step on the gas of those lambos.

BMW SR1000RR

I swear I will get back to dope cars after this post. I’m posting up this video because some people really don’t understand the value of this motorcycle. For years and years Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Yamaha owned the 1000cc sector. And for years, to be honest, BMW has been in the slightly boring cruiser and off-road sector. That was until the SR1000RR was introduced. This bike is incredible, I mean just listen to the video. And if you haven’t noticed, it’s priced right around every single 1000cc motorcycle it’s competing against. Not typical of BMW, I know, but it’s time this motorcycle be taken seriously. I have personally seen it perform at the track, and it keeps up with all the big boys just fine.

Listen and learn.

2011 New York International Motorcycle Show

This past weekend was the NY International Motorcycle Show at the Jacob Javit Center in New York City. Since the winter means no riding, or even seeing motorcycles for that matter, I was excited to go. I thought this year was better then the past, as far as content was concerned. The only thing I was disappointed about was not seeing the higher-end motorcycle makers, like Bimota, MV Agusta, and even Aprilia. Unless I missed them? I like the styling the company’s are going as far as the sport bikes are concerned. The Kawasaki ZX-10 really stood out this year. It felt as like as the ZX-6 and looked great! Suzuki, Yamaha, and Honda had just about the same stuff, with minor tweaks. Ducati stole the show for me, as they do every year. The Diavel looked great, as well as the newer 848evo’s. I swear I want to own their entire lineup at some point. I’m not really a cruiser guy, but Harley, Triumph, and Indian had some nice looking bikes. One company I was looking forward to seeing in person was Royal Enfield. The old school Military style bikes really appeal to me for some reason. I would say the biggest surprise was Honda and the custom bikes they had on display. I mean really awesome looking customs. Great styling, and the best part was the builders were standing right next to the bikes to answer any questions. We’ll enough blabering.

I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures. Crappy camera.
