Cleveland Cyclewerks. Interesting Entry Level Motorcycle (that won't make you feel like a dork.)
A 250 with serious some cool factor! This is not an endorsement and not a slam. I don't know anything about it but I like the looks a lot! From Cleveland Cyclewerks. Lots More HERE
The Winter Blues...
Living in Florida the last 30 years I sometimes forget that this is what awaits many of you for the next four or five months... my sincere condolences. But chin up! Time flies and spring will be here before you know it! Besides now you have a good block of time for those bike and bike related projects to get done. So have at it... and while we're on the subject, send me some pictures of whatever projects you've got going on. Might make for some interesting posts!

2011 KTM RC8R Superbike

KTM brings more power to the table with its 2011 RC8R Superbike. The Austrian marque had previously announced a race-ready version of its Twin-powered superbike, dubbed the 1190 RC8R Track, at the earlier INTERMOT show in Cologne. For Milan, the Orange and Black announces changes to the base RC8R with horsepower up to a claimed 175.
The structural architecture of the 1195cc 75-degree Twin is unchanged, including the 105mm bore and 69mm stroke. Internal modifications to the four-valve heads feature a “newly developed dual-plug ignition.” Other changes includes a new crankshaft spinning in the crankcase. The mods add up to an impressive 10 horsepower leap over the previous generation RC8R, with 175 horsepower and 93.7 lb-ft of torque (previous version claimed 165 horsepower and 90.7 lb-ft torque).
The chassis features “a completely new suspension and damping set-up” for the suspension. A revision to the rear shock linkage is also touted, along with a wider array of suspension adjustment settings. Other tweaks include a new gear shift linkage and LED running lights.
