Just some motorcycle news for motorcycle people.

Honda is bringing it’s DN-01 to the US. This is really a super interesting bike to me. It is almost a Ninja 250 for the mature transition yuppie  biker.  The reason I say that, is it fills a niche that is hard to to find right now. It’s a bike for that guy/gal that wants a sportbike style with cruiser comforts. In addition it comes with a very manageable 680cc v-twin to push it’s 595 lbs down the road.

The most interesting part is it’s transmission. Automatic / CVT… WTF?

Honda’s radical new HFT Transmission, it’s an automatic unlike anything you’ve ever seen. You can shift it into six preset ratios, or you can let it function as a stepless, no-shifting Constantly Variable Transmission, or CVT.

This, technology wise, is pretty rad.. Which also make it a really nice starter bike for some (yes, manuals can be the demise to some would be bikers…) But at the end of the day, to me, it does takes the fun out of function.

The only real downside I see, is that at $14,599, I don’t see fellatio as a standard feature? Perhaps that will be in next years model.

So, new Ninja 250 news has been a lil hard to come by lately… Parts manufactures are in a lull, Kawasaki is not helping by being so closed lipped about 09’s, and the forums are a lil *cough* repetitive *cough* right now. Soooo.. I’m not really sure what y’all like reading about.

So, In an effort to start building some filler and to help pass the time for all my readers Just wanted to do a quick post to help give some info on some other neat sites to check out, and also discuss what else you’d like to see on here.

( … or what you DON’T want to see on here … )

It’s times like this that I love the internet… Check out this gem I found tonight… I guess it’s just like the Dodge Tomahawk… Just instead of 600+hp it’s 150cc’s… (I know, You have to look really, really, really hard to tell the difference…)

Seriously, if I had an extra 1400$ laying around I would not only be ordering this tonight, I would be getting my custom “Parking for Tron Bike Only” sign for in the garage… And despite the fact that this bike is indeed “Not Street Legal” — I would ride this everywhere no matter what the cost of the tickets… Because, you just can’t put a price on awesome.

Manufacture: KMD? Tron? The league of Awesomeness? *shrug*

Price: Only the best $1400 You ever spent..
