Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS

 Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS   Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS   Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS   Aprilia Shiver 750 ABS  The Aprilia Shiver received a host of changes for 2010 and our Euro correspondent got to take it for a spin at the bike's launch in France. Here's his take on the new and improved Shiver. While Ducati is pushing Monsters like hot cakes, Aprilia hasn’t had the same success with its Shiver model since its 2007 launch. Importers I’ve spoken to put it down to a lack of flair and while BMW and Honda are getting away with murder in the shape of the silver grey paint bucket, Aprilia hasn’t. I must admit that I’ve agreed with the importers and what a change in that respect the 2010 Shiver is. Italian racing red tubular frame and more thought into an eye-catching set of decals has sort of already done it for me. But that’s not all; Aprilia has made changes to the Shiver ergonomics, too, with a narrower and more comfort...

2011 BMW K1600GT 2011 BMW K1600GT  2011 BMW K1600GT  2011 BMW K1600GT BMW K 1600 GT with active riding ergonomics for proactive touring. The dynamic touring bike BMW K 1600 GT is characterised by an active seating position which nonetheless offers a high level of long-distance comfort. The reason for this is the favourable set-up of the ergonomics triangle made up of footrests, seat and handlebars. The K 1600 GT has a very extensive range of standard features ex works consisting of xenon (HID) headlight, heated grips and seat, cruise control and on-board computer. These features in conjunction with the supreme riding qualities of the new BMW Motorrad six-cylinder engine leave nothing to be desired for the proactive tour rider. BMW K 1600 GT and BMW K 1600 GTL – fascination with six cylinders. Since BMW Motorrad presented the concept study Concept 6 in autumn 2009, the six-cylinder in-line engine featured in it has captured the imagination of many motorcycle fans. With BMW, six...

Worlds First Cool Flying Car - Terrafugia

Image
A cool car would be one that can also fly, yes? Well here it is! The world's first flying car. The Terrafugia Transition was developed by former Nasa engineers. The car is powered by a 100bhp engine, used on both the ground and in the air. The company is based in Massachusetts. It can transform itself from a two-seater car on the road into a plane within, the makers say, 15 seconds. Here is a video of it's test flight: The manufacturers say the car will be able to fly up to 500 miles on a single tank of petrol. It reportedly has a cruising speed of 115mph. The car/plane is expected to go on sale to the public in about 18 months' time. Designer Car Dietrich says there are 40 orders in for the machine, which costs around £132,000 (approx $280,000). However, its makers insist that is still a good price for an aeroplane. Potential Problems! Car Insurance or Plane Insurance...and take-off locations - it is generally illegal to take off from a road! Visit the Terrafugia Website
