The ONE by Fat Attack AG

This is one hell of a Harley. Pictured above is “The One” from Switzerland-based Fat Attack AG. The name from the fact that Fat Attack considers it the best ever showcase of their ability to produce a very high performance reliable bike that you can title, legally ride and service at any Harley-Davidson dealer. The body of The One is made of titanium, aluminum and carbon fiber, thereby reducing the weight by 60kg. The power has been increased to 110HP.

Tron Light Cycle design contest sees some stunning sketches

Last month, Car Design Fetish announced results for the Batmobile Design Competition, a design competition centered around the vehicle used by the Dark Knight in his Gotham-saving enterprises. Now, SideQuesting, a sister site of Car Design Fetish, has announced results for the design competition that asked to create a new concept for the Light Cycle vehicle from the Tron movie series. More than 100 works were submitted in less than 20 days for the Light Cycle Design Contest, from 3D renderings to pencil sketches. The competition was launched to celebrate the upcoming launch of Tron and Tron: Legacy on DVD and Blu-ray. 

While John A. Frye has won in the US category, the International category has gone to Raphael Laurent. John A. Frye from California has been working as a designer at Honda R&D Americas since 1997. His Light Cycle emphasized on the high-tech design with a striking blue-orange contrast. His design brings to mind the vision of a biker gang in the Tron’s world. I just love the way the rider is gripping the handlebars. The honorable mentions in the US category went to Izaak Moody, Vaughan Ling and Chris Greazel. 

In the International category, Daniel Kafka (UK), Huynh Ngoc Lan (Vietnam) and Paulo Italiani (Brazil) grabbed the honorable mentions.  Peep the rest here.

Bespoke Harley-Davidson 'Unorthodox' by Warr's of London

For biking buffs who treasure their Harleys, but are looking to explore the custom-made territory to add to their rich collection, we introduce you to the “Unorthodox” – the latest creation by London-based custom Harley-Davidson designer Charlie Stockwell of Warr’s Harley-Davidson. The new, custom Harley is strikingly different from the other designs offered ever from Stockwell and Warr’s H-D. Stockwell is well known for his award-winning and trend-setting vintage designs, but with the bespoke Harley-Davidson Unorthodox, he has dared to break the tradition. It flaunts an attention-grabbing cocktail of chrome and carbon fiber, along with neo-vintage styling. You will find no leather or tassels on this Harley. 

Almost everything on the Unorthodox has been handmade by Stockwell himself. He stripped down the original Harley-Davidson Fatboy, leaving behind just the engine and chassis. The oil tank was removed from beneath the seat and the chassis was reshaped to drop the solid carbon fiber solo saddle to an extreme slammed ride height. Other highlights include a new oil tank, high-low dual exhaust system, MotoGP spec Ohlins front forks, custom made CNC triple trees and Brembo monobloc calipers.

The tuned 113ci Screamin’ Eagle H-D engine has been done with glossy black powder coat. The carbon fiber, race style clip-on handlebars are fitted with Performance Machine controls to complement the huge wheels wrapped in Metzeler rubber, 3″ open primary drive and foot controls.

The Unorthodox will be showcased in the Warr’s showroom on the King’s Road in London until the summer, when its lucky owner will drive it home.

Thanks, Charlie Stockwell, Warr’s H-D

S T A N C E. - Erik Buell Racing 1190RS

Former Harley-Davidson employee, Erick Buell is definitely reaping the benefits of being on his own. Just look at the new Erik Buell Racing 1190RS, a roadgoing version of his 1190RR superbike racer that will start at about $40,000 or so. A slightly less expensive version using fiberglass and plastic in place of carbon fiber may also be in the offing. Like all of Erik’s bikes, fuel is held in the frame, which is manufactured by the same company that welded up the units from the previous Buell motorcycle company, and the engine is a V-Twin design displacing 1190cc, but now horsepower figures have been announced yet.

Tron Light Cycle v Campbell

Iterations and iterations! If there’s one thing a tech and design writer cannot possibly ignore or resist, it’s Tron. With this brand freaking new movie Tron: Legacy out now, the folks at Disney have basically a sure shot as far as the internet crowd goes, and for the most part, everyone riding on the wave has their own shot at fifteen minutes of fame. Here’s a designer taking that opportunity to the max with some alternate Light Cycle designs made for your pleasure!

This project is simply an exercise in enjoyment with designer Wallace Campbell following what he sees as the essential elements included in a Light Cycle, bringing unto the world another iteration with super sweet bright lights and blackness, all you could ever want.

A hubless wheel system, light trail, and glowing accent lights are amongst Campbell’s self-imposed rules for the bike. Included also are a set of reality based parameters in place to bring the bike closer to a real world production. Included in this list are a windshield, side view mirrors, ecgonomical seat, and more. There is a faring on the left side of the vehicle but not the right simply in order to show off the turbine style engine.

140 Horsepower Ducati 848 EVO

The 2011 Ducati 848 EVO “Dark Edition” is not just a spin off of the companies best selling mid-weight superbike. It is a fully modified work of artistry, that will leave you wondering why all gear heads don’t get their kicks from a 140 horsepower Testastretta engine nestled between their legs.

The lack of $13,000 might be one reason, but the other is undoubtedly the risky nature and lack of control of many superbikes. These were never made for the faint of heart, but Ducatti’s top model 848 has tamed the beast somewhat more.

Ducati has reworked the chassis and brake system of the newest 848, adding a cross-mounted steering damper, Brembo Monobloc brake calipers, magnesium subframe, and a pair of Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires. Traction control and ABS brakes are unfortunately still not available, however.

The “Dark Edition” wouldn’t be what it is without its sleek, bullet-proof, flat black paint job, although if you like cops, you can get the same package painted in bright red, for the more “classic” look.

Despite all the exterior and handling upgrades, the true highlight is its reworked Testastretta Evoluzione engine. The liquid cooled, L-Twin now boasts new cams, valves, pistons, cylinder head, racing throttle, and Marelli fuel injection system.

The exhaust has also been minimized to the barest essentials, featuring a lighter weight composition and traditional exit underneath the riders seat. These combination’s give the 848 a license to fly with 140 horsepower (10,500 rpm), 75 lb-ft of torque (9750 rpm), and a paltry 369 pound curb weight.

Try before you buy, has been a staple among the hardcore superbike track junkies, but since we’re limited to megabytes and pixels, a video will have to do! (after the jump!)

Reevu MSX1 Rear View Mirror Helmet -

The Reevu's MSX1 Helmet(£249 about $380) has a rear view mirror which uses a entirely mechanical mechanism rather than rear-view cameras. It look similar to the car's rear view mirror, with the small mirror in front resting just outside the rider's line of sight. The Reevu MSX1 is the world’s first patented rear-view helmet range that gives the wearer that all round vision. Reevu say the added functionality no way effects the safety performance of the helmet.

CR&S DUU Concept Motorcycle - DOPE!

The CR&S “DUU” is a custom concept motorcycle, which was unveiled at the EICMA Milano International Bike Show in November 2009. The DUU is a naked, two-seater premium motorcycle with a modular layout. Two western motorcycle cultures have been synthesized inside the “DUU”: a sporty European rolling chassis powered by a muscular American V-twin. The DUU is said to provide an intuitive ride, with technological innovations and assertive styling.

The CR&S DUU is equipped with the new S&S “X-Wedge” engine with a capacity of 1916cc (117c.i.). Last year S&S celebrated its 50th Anniversary by creating this unique engine as a synthesis of its experience and technology. The X-Wedge is a new engine in the American tradition of big twins, which meets the latest emission and noise standards, but with a special character and high performance.

CR&S introduced the concept of a “tailor-made motorcycle” with its original model, the “VUN”. Beginning with the standard version, each customer chooses their very own motorcycle through a wide range of technical and aesthetic option choices.


The DUU extends this concept, now synonymous with the CR&S brand. In addition to technical and aesthetic options, the DUU allows different configurations. The CR&S DUU begins with a single and/or two-seater base module, which provides the main needs of the rider while offering countless configuration options, without affecting functionality or the aesthetic form.

An innovative motorcycle, “modular and muscular”, built from high quality, durable materials and best components, with a powerful, rugged and reliable engine. This is the desire of the “mature” motorcyclist, who demands certainty, continuity and top-value in terms of design and technology.

The DUU is a motorcycle to satisfy a sophisticated and intuitive market of enthusiasts who are aware of things that meet their needs and that are made to last. The intent of the DUU is to never neglect the CR&S vital aspects of a “premium” motorcycle: emotion and character.

CR&S expects to deliver the first DUU in Europe by 2011. Target price, for the base model, is $30,000 on the road, with a production volume of a few dozen units per year. Each motorcycle tailor-made, by hand, one at a time. Source
