Shoei Qwest

As you know, we normally don’t shamelessly plug ourselves but we have to make an exception this time around. We are well into riding season and motorcyclists everywhere are enjoying the feel of their new gear. One item which has stood out in the last month or so has been the Shoei Qwest helmet. It is no surprise that most of you have opted to upgrade to this helmet with its advanced ventilation performance and long-distance comfort. Noise reduction technology has been significantly upgraded as well so it’s an easy transition from your previous hat.

If you are in the market for a new helmet, we highly recommend giving the Qwest a try. We have a large selection of color combinations available at Extrememoto.com.

If you have any questions or comments, drop us a line below or visit our Facebook and Twitter.

Yamaha Crux

The Crux is currently Yamaha’s least expensive motorcycle at approximately $650. Don’t go running to your wallets just yet, though. The Crux is strictly for the Indian market. New reports show that Yamaha will be supplying the Indian market with an even cheaper model priced at $500. With a very heated low-priced-motorcycle-war going on in the region, this could be a huge gain for Yamaha.  Details haven’t been released yet but we know it would be the cheapest Japanese manufactured motorcycle in that market. Assumptions are that an engine in the 100cc range will be utilized.

Suzuki GSX-R1000

Any GSX riders out there? If you happen to purchase a new 2012 model, here is some important recall information. Suzuki has recently identified an issue with loose bolts on some 2012 models which may cause the side stand interlock switch to fail. On the GSX-R1000 models, failure of this switch will terminate the ignition circuit. As a result, the engine will stop running, which obviously will increase the risk of a crash.

Suzuki reports that it will notify owners and dealers will be replacing the side stand interlock bolts, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin before the end of June 2012. If you own a GSX-R1000 and would like to find out more information about this recall, you may contact Suzuki at (714) 966-7040. The recall campaign number is 2A29. You can also get additional information by contacting the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at (888) 327-4236.

We hope this helps! Keep us posted on any new developments by commenting below or by joining the conversation on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Where are you riding to this summer?

Summer is in full bloom, which means we’re taking advantage and hitting the road as much as possible. We carry lots of quality products at Extrememoto, but since we had such a fantastic response to Shoei’s recent promotion, we thought it would be a great idea to show you some of their new styles. Visit our Shoei website page and view their new color options and added inventory. If you have any questions, post your comments below and join the conversation on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Enjoy the ride and keep it safe!

Brammo bike at a charging station.

Before we give you some of these numbers, keep in mind that Hong Kong is only 426 square miles in total. With that said, Hong Kong has recently upped it’s game when it comes to electric vehicles and charging stations. Brammo is one the first companies to take advantage of this movement and has already sold a number of bikes to their police force. The number of EV’s (Electric Vehicles) being sold in the country has grown as well. This is surprising considering the size of the territory.

There are currently 310 EV’s riding around in Hong Kong. Just a year ago there was only 74. The government has 33 EV’s with another 43 arriving in the coming months. They will also be ordering another 140 by the end of the year.

A few private companies along with the government had already installed 500 charging stations and there will be 1000 by the end of June. This is a very big move for the country and it’s effort to reduce pollution levels.

We’re excited about the EV movement and look forward to big changes like these to be implemented in more areas around the United States. How do you feel about EV’s? Comment below with your thoughts or join the conversation on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Ride Annie Ride II

Ride Annie Ride is an event dedicated to Annie Goeden, a victim of Osteosarcoma (bone cancer). The event was put together so Annie could enjoy a day of riding on the back of a Harley-Davidson. There was a huge turnout for the event and Annie was overwhelmed with joy. Unfortunately, Annie is no longer with us and this year’s event is dedicated to, Hayden Elliott (son of Megan Handy Tenaglio), who has the same horrible disease.

If you would like to participate in this year’s event, take a look at the flyer below or visit the Facebook event to get started. Get out there and do you what enjoy doing most while helping a family in need.

As a follow up to yesterday’s post, we wanted to take you on a video journey of the Smart eScooter being built. It’s pretty amazing to see everything come together.

Any bike builders out there? What’s your take on the process? Comment below or join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Smart Electric Scooter and Bike

Smart Car recently announced a plan to release an electric scooter in 2014. The electric scooter was originally unveiled in 2010 along with a plan for a Smart eBike. The electric versions of the ForTwo will launch this summer and delivery of the Smart eBikes is getting started soon.

We are excited to see the reaction consumers will have to these products. Do you think you’ll be riding one of these soon? Post your comments below or join our conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Harley Rider

Harley-Davidson reported a stronger that expected rise in quarterly profits. The company reports that a younger audience has embraced their brand and that they expect to ship more motorcycles this year than they expected in January.

Here are some of the details:

• Net earnings rose to $172 million from $119 million a year ago.
• Product sales jumped 20% to $1.27 billion.
• 245,000 to 250,000 motorcycles are expected to ship worldwide.

This is great news for Harley. Will you be purchasing one this year?

Willie G. Davidson

No matter the type of bike you prefer, all riders have some type of connection to Harley-Davidson. Whether a family tradition or a brand new hobby, the sound of that engine has always been a head-turner for all of us. After 50 years of unforgettable designs, the creative genius behind them has finally called it quits. This past Monday, Willie G. Davidson retired from Harley. Aside from many others, Willie G. is responsible for designs like the Fatboy, Super Glide, Low Rider and Street Glide. When asked if he still had any projects in the works, he confirmed but did not provide any details. At least there will be a couple more gems with Willie G.’s influence.

We'll miss you!

Happy Friday! It’s been a long week so we wanted to share some of the cool bikes we’ve run into on Facebook and Twitter. Comment below and tell us which one is your favorite.

Visit our website here, and take a peek. We want to know what you think, so post your comments below or visit our Facebook and Twitter pages to join the conversation.

Jose Hurtado’s hubless twist bike is definitely a site to see. Not only is it extremely cool looking, but it can also be attached to another one to make it a tandem. Not sure if any of you have ridden a tandem bike before but it’s a lot of fun. Working together with the other rider, or not, is half the fun. Take a look at some of the images below so you get a better picture of how the technology works. It’s really simple and incredibly detailed.

We want to ride!

So simple and effective. Why didn't we think of this?

The twisting seat lets you face either side and locks at the frame.

One of the toughest brands around.

It’s riding season and all of us are gearing up for the road ahead. If you are in the market for a new motorcycle jacket, then you must take a look at Speed and Strength’s Call to Arms jacket. Not only is it stylish but it also has some great features. Here are a few:

CALL TO ARMS TXT JACKET GREY

CALL TO ARMS TXT JACKET GREY

Created by Filippo Barbacane, the Ipothesys is a modern take on the classic cafe racer. Winner of the first prize at the International Bike Expo in Verona, this machine is ready for mass production. At least, we’re ready for its mass production. For now, there will be a small number produced. Aside from its sleek look and mean design, we wanted to share some of our favorite features:

• 1200cc 8 valve Griso motor
• Front suspension: Marzocchi SBK-spec RAC 50mm forks and Ergal triple trees
• Rear suspension: Premium-spec Bitubo XXF-11 monoshock
• Brembo brake components
• OZ Racing wheels with Cattiva items
• Custom carbon fiber fenders

We are always on the lookout for new concepts and this week’s featured bike is the FB R2000S. Based on the BMW 1200 GS, the R2000S is equipped with 3 independently suspended hubless wheels. We could keep talking about it but the pictures really say it all. Check them out and let us know what you think by commenting below.

Audi in the run to buy Ducati.

Last month we reported that Ducati was up for sale. Some of the potential buyers were BMW, Mahindra and Volkswagen. Recent reports indicate that Audi (owned by Volkswagen AG) is considering purchasing the company for 850 million Euros. It’s known that Volkswagen Chairman, Ferdinand Piech has been interested in acquiring the company since 2008. Since VW owns Audi, the sale is being set up as a purchase for Audi with VW supplying the money and making the decision.

We are eager to find out who finally purchases Audi and will update you as soon as we hear any news.

Ducati Monster 1100 EVO

Ducati is recalling the 2011-2012 Monster 1100 EVO due to cracks on the real wheel spokes. While developing a different model late last year, engineers discovered the issue on a bike which used a similar wheel design. The affected wheels are labeled “DU6-RR”. The Monster 1100 EVO test units were then examined and Ducati discovered a 26,888 mile unit with cracks on two spokes. Ducati has since designed a new wheel with Enkei Thai labeled DU6N-RR. All Ducati dealers will replace the rear wheels on affected units free of charge.

Yesterday, on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn we announced a new product release for today. Here it is.

The Shoei Neotec is one of the most advanced modular helmets in the market. As adventure touring becomes more popular, riders are transitioning to modular helmets due to the combination of liberty and safety they provide. The new Neotec is definitely the helmet for today’s hybrid motorcyclist. Check out the Neotec’s specs:

• reduced wind noise
• improved shell aerodynamics
• removable, washable and replaceable liner system
• internal sun shield
• wider and taller field of vision
• flip-up chin bar and face shield
• shell-integrated spoiler
• CNS-1 shield and QR-N base plate
• 360 degree pivot locking system
• dual-layer EPS liner
• breath guard
• chin curtain

Yea, it's modular.

Available in 7 colors.

Are you into modular helmets or do you prefer another style? Post your comments below.

Lazareth

We are always on the lookout for new innovative motorcycle designs and this week none stood out more than the Lazareth Wazuma V8F. Though it has configurations that are very similar to a trike, the V8F comes with four wheels. Aside from it’s peculiar design, there is a very unique power train inside of it. A very famous Italian automaker you’re probably familiar with, Ferrari is responsible for its 3.0-liter V8 engine that produces more than 250 horsepower. The engine is also mated to a BMW M3-sourced six-speed sequential gearbox. From the looks of it, Lazareth did not cut any corners when it came to technology.

Now, who’s ready to ride?

PIAA 1100LED front view.

PIAA has been providing drivers and riders alike with exceptional road visibility for many years. Recently, the company has  released their new 1100LED for motorcyclists. These lamps are by far one of the best in the market. They are equipped with 3-mm high-impact clear glass lenses which illuminate the road with a bluish-white color (6300 Kelvin) that is the closest yet to sunlight. Emitting light in a symmetrical pattern, the 1100 ensures the rider with no loss of visibility when leaning into a turn.

PIAA 1100LED angled view.

Each lamp comes with three, 4 watt high-output LED bulbs which only require one amp per light at 12 volts. The 1100LED also draws significantly less power than H.I.D. or halogen lamps. CNC machined die-cast aluminum front and rear housings protect the lamp for any challenges the road provides. We were really impressed when we saw the specs of these lamps and highly recommend them to any of you who are looking for really powerful and dependable aftermarket replacements.

PIAA 1100LED side view.

If any of you happen to have these installed, we would love for you to share some images of your bikes. Feel free to post comments below or upload images to our Facebook page.

1199 Panigale

Recently, reports have been circling around that motorcycle manufacturer, Ducati is up for sale. Selling price for the company is set at 1 billion euros, which is three times the initial investment made by the Italian private-equity owner. Insiders believe the potential buyers to be Volkswagen, BMW and Mahindra (Indian motorcycle manufacturer). Back in 2009, VW showed some interest in purchasing the company but invested in Suzuki instead. We will keep you posted on the latest developments.

Happy Valentine's Day!

With Valentine’s Day only four days away, we thought it would be a great idea to put together a quick shopping guide for easier access to specific gear on Extrememoto.com. Below you will find direct links to Shoei helmets, HJC helmets, Sparx helmets, gloves, shields, pants, jackets and boot covers. We hope this helps your purchasing experience. Questions?

There will be races, concerts, parties and street festivals with plenty of food. The event will take place March 9, 2012 through March 18, 2012.

Pike’s report is based on 12 different points.

• Product and Position
• Technology
• Vision

Ducati

Last week we posted about the amazing growth BMW Motorrad experienced in 2011 and today we are happy to announce similar news about one of our favorite manufacturers, Ducati. The company recently announced a 43 percent growth in their global markets and for the first time ever, North America is the number one market. It wasn’t only their bikes that experienced large sales growth, their apparel and accessories also recorded a 50 percent increase in 2011.

Much of Ducati’s sales growth is due to a new product line which include the very popular Diavel and the Multistrada. The Diavel has been named “Best Cruiser of 2011″ be numerous motorcycle publications and the Multistrada is not far behind as it was named “Best Open Street Bike” by Cycle World for the second year in a row. Ducati expects growth to be fueled in 2012 with the release of their new Superbike, the 1199 Panigale, along with other new releases like the 848 EVO Corse Special Edition.

We are excited to see what new innovations Ducati put out in 2012 and cat’s wait to test some of them out.

BMW has a serious eye on the market in 2012.

The folks at BMW Motorrad must have been thrilled when they crunched the numbers for 2011. The company reports its best sales year since its inception. Here are some of the company stats for 2011:

• 104,286 units sold (6.4% increase from 2010)
• 2011 total sales exceed the company’s previous best: 102,467 units in 2007
• 12% increase in the market share in the 500cc and over segment

We do not have details on the model unit sales but in 2010, BMW credited the S1000RR for driving their sales increase. BMW also expected the high demand for the S1000RR and their new K series bikes to continue fueling their sales growth.

A big “thumbs up” for BMW team. Keep it up!

Are you a Supercross or Motocross fan? If you are, you probably love to watch videos of riders taking on the best and most remote tracks in the world. Prepare yourself for Dream Ride. It was filmed in Cairns, Australia and features pro riders, Malcolm Stewart and Josh Cachia. Some of the aerial shots in this short video are the best we have seen in a while. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

View from the driver's seat.

As you know, we are always on the look out for new innovations in the world of “green” transportation. Recently, we found the Tilter, a fantastic creation by French entrepreneur, Eric Rose. The Tilter is an all electric, motorcycle-car which provides the driver with a top speed of 68 miles per hour and travels 0-60 in 13 seconds. A fully charged battery lasts for about 80 miles so the driver has some room to roam around town. Mass production of the Tilter should begin in 2012. So get ready, you may be seeing this 3 wheeled beauty zipping around pretty soon.

Looks like you can park anywhere.

Comfortably enter even in the tightest spaces.

Yesterday’s blog post featured one of the sickest short movies we’ve seen of a car and a motorcycle engaged in a drift battle. We were really impressed with the way the Kawasaki ZX-10 performed and wondered what bike would be used for the sequel. After some research, we found out that the next short film will feature the Triumph Speed Triple with an extended swingarm kit from Roaring Toyz. We can’t wait to see how this bad boy performs. Check out the pictures and let us know what you think by commenting below.

Oh yea, happy Friday!

Love this shot!

Great view of the extended swingarm by Roaring Toyz.

Ready for the track.

The sport of drifting is more popular then ever and there are some talented individuals who are merging cars and bikes into the mix. Nick “Apex” Brocha from team Icon Motosports and professional race car driver, Jim Guthrie, take to the track for a motorcycle vs car drift battle. Nick is riding a 2005 Kawasaki ZX-10 (modified with an extended swingarm) and Jim is driving a 1993 Mazda RX-7 (equipped with a 375hp engine). Check out the battle below:

What’s better to spice up your slow Tuesday than a drifting video from a stunt rider? If you haven’t heard of Jorian Ponomareff, pay attention. This is a name the motorcycle world will begin to recognize regularly.
