The new Ducati Streetfighter V2

Image
The new Streetfighter V2 is a sports naked with a one-of-a-kind character. It accommodates the needs of those looking for a bike that can combine the sporty DNA of the Panigale V2 with both the attitude and style of the much-admired Streetfighter. The result is an intuitive and easy-to-handle vehicle, with the right dose of power to ensure feisty performance and maximum riding fun. The bike has a dry weight of 178 kg and is powered by the 153 hp 955 cc Superquadro engine, controlled by the latest-generation electronics package. No Ducati comes cheap, but the Streetfighter V2 price tag is easier to accept. The 2022 Streetfighter V2 price is $16,995. Ducati also offers a number of performance-minded accessories via its parts catalog. The Streetfighter V2 knows exactly how to stand out. That is thanks to its design that shows at the first glance a strong family feeling with the muscular Streetfighter V4 , a model from which it inherits the most characteristic elements. However, the Du...

The BMW S1000R is a naked bike that is heavily derived from the Bavarian manufacturer’s S1000RR superbike in engine, chassis, and technology. It shows, because during our first ride review it proved it’s a versatile motorcycle suitable for both road and track action. The S1000R sees big changes in 2022, beginning with its 999cc inline-four powerplant’s basic components and structure derived from the S1000RR superbike . The new engine meets Euro 5 emission standards, while being a claimed 11 pounds lighter than its predecessor. Internal ratios of fourth, fifth, and sixth gears are longer, aimed at reducing engine vibration and improving fuel consumption. To complement the engine, electronic rider aids have been updated and the S1000RR adopts BMW’s 6.5-inch TFT Display. LED lighting is also standard. The S1000R doesn’t aim for the torque-rich hooliganism of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R and Yamaha MT-10; nor does it share the Ducati Streetfighter V4 and MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR’s screami...

The New 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 Tourer

Image
The 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is a new middleweight sport-tourer built on the Trident 660 platform that was introduced last year. Triumph has its adventure bike bases covered with its various Tiger 850, Tiger 900, and Tiger 1200 models. But since the Tiger 1050 and Trophy were dropped from the lineup in recent years, it no longer has a sport-tourer in its lineup. Rather than go after the high-dollar, high-tech open-class sport-touring segment – which has all but dried up due to the popularity of adventure bikes – Triumph focused on the valued-priced middleweight segment, where it goes head-to-head with stalwarts like the Honda NC750X and Kawasaki Versys 650. The Tiger Sport 660 , which has a base price of $9,295. From the 17-inch cast wheels to the Nissin braking system and Michelin Road 5 tires, Hinckley leverages much of the Trident’s core components for the new model. Unique in this price and displacement class is the Tiger’s liquid-cooled, 12-valve, 660cc inline-Triple, a versa...

Image
The naked-sport-bike Dragster 800 RR from MV Agusta has been refreshed for 2022 with updated chassis, engine and electronics. It looks menacing from any angle.  In 2022, there are 2 colorways available, which are: Matte Magnum Silver with Matte Metallic Dark Grey, and Matte Magnum Avio with Matte Metallic Dark Grey. 2022 Dragster 800 RR price is $20,400. The MV Agusta Dragster RR shares 99% of the same DNA as the MV Agusta’s Brutale line, but there are some noticeable differences. For starters, the Brutale is more of a naked bike, while the Dragster is decidedly more street fighter. Both are exceptional motorcycles, but the Dragster carries more attitude. It’s a sharp, responsive, and powerful motorcycle designed for precision hooning. The heart of Dragster 800 RR is a 798cc three-cylinder engine with new sintered valve guides and diamond-like carbon coated tappets for reduced friction, new bearings for the crankshaft, piston rods and countershaft, a modified exhaust collector, a...

The Italian Motorcycle MV Agusta Rush 1000

Image
MV Agusta Rush 1000 was introduced as a concept motorcycle at EICMA 2019. The concept motorcycle that gave birth to the Rush was based on the Brutale 1000 RR. MV Agusta called the motorcycle a “hyper naked,” as it offers more performance than the typical naked motorcycle, more exclusive styling, and supremely refined execution.  The 2022 Rush 1000 is still based on the Brutale 1000 RR, but you’ll see differences right away. A beautiful metallic gray tank with carbon fiber inserts and yellow highlights suggests a charging bison. The huge 17 inch rear wheel with its formidable carbon fiber shield also makes a powerful design statement. Pirelli’s special-edition Diablo Supercorsa radials rimmed in yellow provide a finishing touch. The 2022 MV Agusta Rush 1000 has A staggering price of $40,000 USD or $35,000 Euro.  Twice the price of the Ducati Streetfighter V4S? I don't think so, It has nothing over the Ducati and the same horsepower.  Maybe not for everyone, but then MV A...

The Italian Motorcycle MV Agusta Brutale 800 Rosso

Image
MV Agusta’s Brutale is probably the most acclaimed modern-age naked sports bike. The Brutale concept was born in 2000 from the inspired imagination of MV Agusta star designer Massimo Tamburini. The intuition of Tamburini was that he imagined a naked bike right from the start, designed to do without fairings or unnecessary details, and not as the result of the reverse, stripping-down process of a regular bike. It was conceived and built to be naked, with its beastly aggressive and ruthless looks that make it immediately recognisable. The Brutale 800 Rosso comes standard with a de-tuned version of MV Agusta’s 798cc inline-three cylinder engine that is shared with many other of their models in the mid-displacement lineup. This engine gives the Brutale 800 Rosso a healthy 110 horsepower that can get you up to a maximum speed of 237 km/h.
