Brammo Empulse is a street-fighter

Last we saw Brammo, they had the Enertia electric bike going. This time round, Brammo has gone to the Isle of Man, raced it and produced a naked version of the bike that could do 100mph! Enter the Empulse! Looking like a Ducati Monster and topping out near 100mph will do wonders for green-riders the world over.

Let's get some specs on torque soon, can't look like a Monster unless you feel like one.

Packard Bell laptop endorsed by Valentino Rossi

This laptop by Packard Bell has been endorsed by 9-time MotorGP champion Valentino Rossi. They've used his helmet designs to splash onto their laptop's hood. Surprisingly, the helmet looks better. But if you're part of the Rossifumi, perhaps this might be for you. I'd rather get that helmet.

Resident Evil Chopper

What news! Imagine riding Cloud Strife's motorcycle in real life!?? Read the following and weep:

Capcom has partnered with Savage Cycles to produce an officially licensed Resident Evil motorcycle, to be sold in "an extremely limited number." It'll have a bunch of fake weapons and health sprays and stuff attached, and the expected S.T.A.R.S. and Capcom logos.

KTM Duke 690 R

2010 KTM Duke 690 R, ready to be unleashed!

690cc, 70bhp, 51.6lb/ft single-cylinder, the Duke R weighs just 148.5kg/327lbs (dry). That's still no where near the power to weight ratio of even a supersport 600, but it'll deliver that power in a typical single-cylinder all-at-once burst.

CR&S unveil the Duu

CR&S has unveiled pictures of their naked bike, the Duu. Silly name aside,

‘Two Western motorcycle cultures will be synthesized inside the Duu – a sporty European rolling chassis powered by a muscular American big-twin,’. ... The single-side swingarm looks impressive, though overall the Duu looks like a Harley-designed Ducati Streetfighter with some musclebike design cues from the Yamaha VMax.
~Faster & Faster

I think the line between anime/manga/imagination and reality is getting ever thinner. This looks like Cloud Strife's Hardy Daytona (from Final Fantasy VII), with a shortened wheel-base and single swing-arm.. I want one!
