Voxan Cafe Racer Super Naked by Phillipe Starck

Phillipe Starck has now officially dipped his design hand into every category of things. This naked street bike, the Voxan Cafe Racer Super Naked, is pretty badass, though the gas tank looks a bit painful.

It’s just a concept for now with no official price or release date.

Despite the girl it makes me seem, I have never been a huge fan of Harley Davidson motorcycles. Of course I love the the noise and I love the idea, but I just never really loved the design. When the V-Rods came out a few years ago, that all changed for me, especially when I […]

the road less traveled

I didn’t do enough traveling in my life, which is part of the reason I am in Dubai right now. I promised myself when I left NY that I would take advantage of every travel opportunity that came along.
But I have never been one to want to travel to common destinations for 4 days and […]

Holy shit. Just look at it. Look at it. Stunning motorcycle, the Ecosse Heretic. Great name. Heretic. Titanium chassis, 120ci, 135hp, carbon fiber body work, carbon fiber wheels, Ohlins Suberbike Gas forks, 6-speed overdrive transmission. Whoa.

$140,000. Keep it.

smart fortwo + Suzuki GSX-R1000 = “smartuki” = insanity

BMW Clever concept

Along with the 3-series coupe, this week BMW unveiled the “Clever”, a 2-seat, 3-wheeled concept vehicle, enclosed, and safe, crash-tested and airbagged, and absolutely gorgeous. I LOVE it. The article claims it is, “expected to cost around $10,000 and would have a top speed of 50 mph” and an expected 188 MPG! The coolest part […]

How cool is this thing!?
I know, I know… I’d be dead 4 seconds after starting it up. One day, ask Slob about the time in San Francisco that we tried to rent scooters and I almost killed the guy and myself. Bad. We wound up renting a convertible Mustang because they would only let me […]

custom eye for the discovery guy

I love Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper” as much as the next guy. Nothing gets me fired up on a Sunday night like the Tuttle’s warring it out in the assembly shop over whether or not Paul Jr. is spending too much time tightening the guided missile air filter cover. Until very recently, I thought the […]
