Posted
by
This bike has made an appearance at the Verona show in Italy – and we like it. Basically, it’s a Suzuki Katana homage kitted out in a silver, blue, red and orange colour scheme direct from 1984 (hence the 84 in the bike’s name). The usual, modern Suzuki ‘S’ on the tank gives way to…

Don’t get too excited by it, this is a special scheme that’s been put on a prize bike as part of a movie promotion in the USA. Nice though, isn’t it? The bike is what you could win if you take part in the competition which is currently being held across more than 650 locations…

Want to see Yamaha’s plans for a carbon-fibre road bike that BRUISES when damaged and emits LIGHT from a wound to the frame?

Here’s a design patent from Yamaha that’s going to blow a few minds – a carbon-fibre framed motorcycle that BRUISES when the frame is damaged, even if the bike falls over at a standstill. It might sound like a thought-pattern straight from the latest sci-fi blockbuster movie, but the truth of the matter is that…
