Indian Motorcycle has revealed a new Roadmaster model for 2015. It is essentially a classic looking cruiser with all the right touching like big fairings, bags and a lot of chrome, very much like a, you guessed it, Electra Glide. (more…)
This picture is said to be the new Ducati Scrambler, purportedly leaked when the Italian bike builder showed off its latest model to some fans at the recently concluded World Ducati Week in Italy.
The room in which the Scrambler was revealed was supposed to be a no mobile phone area, but obviously that didn’t work. This shot ultimately emerged at the Ducati Corse unofficial Facebook page.
The is also supposedly the second time the Scrambler has been revealed in yellow, which is a throw back to the classic Ducati Scrambler of the 70s.
It is believed that the new Scrambler will be powered by the V-twin engine from either the Monster 696 or the 796, with around 80hp.
The bike will be revealed at the international motorcycle show in Cologne, Germany.

British MotoGP rider Cal Crutchlow was reported to have undergone surgery last week on both forearms to help prevent arm pump yet again.
Professionally known as chronic exertional compartment syndrome or CECS which is common with athletes, this injury basically makes the muscles in the affected area under perform or becomes weak.
Doctors will usually cut a small incision to the muscle to relieve pressure in that area. Several weeks rest is recommended after such procedure.
Apparently Crutchlow already had his arm operated before, once on the left and three times on the right hand.

Based on the company’s own Pikes Peak 1200S Multistrada colour scheme, the Ducati Hypermotard SP was revealed to the public at the World Ducati Week 2014 by World Superbike Champions Troy Bayliss and Carlos Checa.
This bad boy comes with multiple riding modes and eight level-traction controls just to have it transfer the 110hp developed by the 821cc Testastretta engine efficiently to the ground.
A hard task considering that the SP only weights around 171kg which gives it a big boost on its power to weight ratio.
The new colour scheme will be available starting this September.
