    Jaguar Motorcycle Eliminates Electrical Problems

    Always wanted a classic Jaguar with a pre-pedestrian-safety leaper hood mascot, but never wanted to deal with constant electrical gremlins and leaky windows? Then the Jaguar motorcycle may be the vehicle for you. And don’t worry; just like any pre-Tata Jag, this bike doesn’t have an ounce of practicality either. More »

    Travis Pastrana Jumps Motorycle From Water

    Travis Pastrana, rally driver and motorcycle stuntman extraordinaire, has completed the world's first Hydrojump. The stunt consisted of mooring a ramp 110 feet from the shore in five-foot deep water. He then raced his motocross bike at the water in excess of 70mph, keeping the power on as he went feet wet. This was fast enough for him to hydroplane all the way out to the ramp and jump off of it. The bike was completely stock, with no flotation devices or special tires.

    Honda CB1100F Production Confirmed

    When we were at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show and begged the higher ups to produce the Honda CB1100F, we never actually thought they would listen. Turns out the cries for a big standard did not fall on deaf ears as Hell For Leather is reporting the honchos at Honda will be putting the big bike on US show floors by 2009. A development like this only begs us to ask if production will be planned for the equally drool worthy Honda CB1100R. We're betting there will be a lot of penny collecting going on this year.

    Man Given Probation for Sexing His Bike, Schwinn!

    It keeps happening. This time, a british man has been given probation after a "sexually aggravated breach of the peace" that involved him attempting to, ahem, mount his bike. According to the local police the man's cleaners found him "holding the bike and moving his hips back and forth as if to simulate sex." The man initially claimed that he had been drinking and there had been some sort of misunderstanding. Maybe the bike was teasing him? More »

    Tokyo Motor Show: Yamaha Sakura Concept Reveal

    We're going to be honest here, the press package shots for the Yamaha Sakura didn't really get us in a huff. Something in them felt inauthentic, contrived even. I imagined a rocket designer complaining about doing a design only his grandpa would drive. In person, that's just not the case. This is a very handsome bike. The fit and finish is superb, some of the core elements are extremely innovative, the bike somehow balances delicate design elements and strong presence. Check the reveal gallery for more on this lovely little piece of kit.

    Tokyo Motor Show: Honda CB1100F Revealed

    There are few two-wheeled death machines in the world able to exploit all of my personal weaknesses simultaneously — the Honda CB1100F revealed here at the Tokyo Auto Show, would have to be one such motorcycle. The live reveal shots in the gallery are pure sex on wheels. Those earlier press photos? They do this bike absolutely no justice. Honda, I'm waiting — bring it to me. Please. Pretty please?

    Tokyo Motor Show: Fuel Cell Powered Suzuki Crosscage Revealed

    There you have it folks, proof that if you lock engineers in a room with a bag of LSD, it's possible for amazing things to happen. Somehow the magicians at Suzuki managed to cram an entire fuel cell system into the skeletal frame of the Suzuki Crosscage. It is a bit on the awkward-looking side. But it's the tech rather than the looks that are the main feature here. This strikes a blow for alternative alternative power systems everywhere (ie. kitten dreams)

    Tokyo Motor Show: Honda EVO6 Spoiler

    Let's play a game of 'what's missing from this picture' with the Honda EVO6, revealed live today at the Tokyo Auto Show. It will be hard, because we missed it at first and we were standing in front of the thing. Give up? No shifter. Yeah, it's an auto transmission. That's about enough said about this here bike. Would have been nice if they announced that with the preview shots. It's a damn shame too because it really is a handsome bike. A production model of the EVO6 would fall into an odd category, sort of a heavyweight sport automatic... that nobody would want. As a proof of concept it works quite well though. We can imagine seeing this engine and transmission in a Goldwing in a matter of minutes. Click through the shiny pictures and pay particularly close attention to that fancy exhaust.

    Tokyo Motor Show: Honda Unveils CB1100R

    We already dropped a couple bikes on you, but we missed the first of the lot revealed here at the Tokyo Motor Show (so that's why they call it "Motor" rather than "Auto," eh?). Here are the first real life shots of the Honda CB1100R we first showed you on Monday and which was the first bike seeing the sheet ripped off of today. This baby is total hotness. It's pure red, white, and blue glory without the 30 lbs of plastic covering up all the pretty parts. Jump into the gallery to check the up close and personal shots, don't spoil the keyboard with all the drool.
