S T A N C E. - A New Breed of Fatboy Motorcycle: The JaFM
You’ve got your Fat Tire beer and your fat tire motorcycles, and the Motomorphic Shop must have been influenced by a couple brewsky’s when they decided to load a fat tire on both the front and back of an experimental motorbike, called the JaFM. But the craziest part is… it worked!
While the JaFM may have a bit more tendency to standup during front trail braking, it just might be a fault you’re willing to live with if you like to standout in a crowd. Overall, the motorcycle has not only a one-of-a-kind stance, but according to the builder, handles just about as good as it looks.
Tipping the scales at a reasonable 550lbs (including 7 gallons of gas), the JaFM is powered by a Rotax V990 60 degree, four valve, 998 cc, V-Twin. The sound of this 110 horsepower (70 lb-ft of torque) beast is immense. The Rotax also includes dual overhead cams, dry sump, a big ol’ air scoop which doubles as its headlight housing, and a six-speed transmission with slipper clutch.
The bike is currently going for $100K, and is fully customizable (it ought to be at that price). The only other thing I can say, is be sure to wear a helmet. Not only does the builder say it has a few “idiosyncrasies”, without a wind screen you can expect a mouth full of bugs!

The $96,000 Carbon fiber Renard GT smoothens the menacing looks of a Confederate Wraith
We have earlier told you about custom carbon fiber bikes to seduce the carbon fiber aficionados including The Sharker, carbon-fiber monocoque motorbike developed by the Gerg Group. The latest in the wonders of carbon fiber motorcycles is the $96,000 Carbon Fiber Renard GT. This luxury bike is conceptualized in order to revive the Renard brand, an old Estonian manufacturer destroyed by bombing in WWII by a group of Estonian entrepreneurs, designers and racing engineers. This carbon fiber prototype was recently unveiled at the Hanover Technology Fair and will go into production next year. The carbon fiber monocoque chassis weighs just 11 kg and incorporates the airbox and fuel tank. The bike is powered by a four-valve Moto Guzzi v-twin engine. The bike seems to have taken its inspiration from Confederate machines but, with the smooth texture of carbon fiber. Both wheels are carbon fiber, while the Grand Tourer’s lightweight aircraft aluminum components are CNC billet. The Renard’s 1200cc engine delivers around 130 horsepower. But in the end it’s all about setting you apart from the crowd while fulfilling your passion for a one-off bike to ride in style.

King of custom bikes unveil the raging Ramera
The Spanish king of custom bike builders, Ferry Clot, can’t stay away for long without astonishing us with his buzzing exhibits of great detail. The winner of the 2009 world championship custom, Ferry Clot after making Panafina almost touch the ground even with its 23″ wheels is back with his latest creation named Ramera. The customized bike exhibits a great amount of detail with its Retrofuturo, S & S Engine 96 with system feeding a two-carburetor double body. The rear tire from a mega 360 could hardly go unnoticed and also the fact that a side stand would be rendered useless. Priced at $190,000, the Ramera can be seen on sale in Ferry Clot’s custom shop, Hot Dreams.

BMW Demonstener D1200R
As we have said in the past, it’s not too often that conceptual projects make it off the drawing board and onto the showroom floor; often times when the transition is successful, the general public is left with a bastardized version of the initial creation that was so riveting in the first place. Enter the Demonstener D1200R, a breathtaking version of BMW’s popular two-wheeler. Creative geniuses Pablo Gonzalez de Chaves and Carlos Beltran Carrión worked tirelessly on the D1200R to make sure the production version was exactly what we expected. Only five will be made, and will be built to the customer’s specifications, down to the rims, materials, paint, and even framework; the bike will also feature BMW’s bulletproof boxer engine and hub-steering. Despite the extremely low production numbers, the bike is available on Ebay; all five failed to meet the ‘Buy It Now’ price of $75,000 and will most assuredly be back up on the auction block shortly."That's DOPE"

Mavizen's TTX02 electric motorcycle with built-in web server is meant for Silicon Valley.
Remember the computerized chopper that comes fitted with an all-weather SwitchBack PC on board from Intel? As if that wasn’t enough internet addiction, Mavizen’s TTX02 electric motorcycle comes with built-in web server, Wi-Fi and Linux. Dubbed as “a laptop on wheels,” the Mavizen TTX02 uses the rolling chassis of an FIM homologated and road legal bike and has a top speed of 130mph. It can be further customized to fit specific needs. According to Azhar Hussain, TTXGP founder and entrepreneur, the consumer electronics perspective comes from the notion that “we are living in a click culture and connectivity is the key, across the board. Our approach was to find how we could make a laptop go racing. We think electric vehicles have more in common with consumer electronics than traditional automotive.” The Mavizen TTX02 will be available for delivery in Q1 of 2010, in a limited production of 50 units for a price of approx. $41,300.
