It's not hard to see why - with five DVDs full of heinous traffic law violations, including 300 km/h (180 mph) wheelies, police baiting and near-suicidal top speed time trials around the Swedish freeway system, he's probably the most famous flaunter of road rules the world has ever seen. And now, his most famous steed, a 499-horsepower turbocharged, naked Hayabusa, is being given away through a website lottery. Only ridden to church on Sundays, it's the perfect practical getabout to take down to the shops. <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/ghost-rider-ghostrider-499-horsepower-turbo-hayabusa-busa-giveaway/21008/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lit-motors-c1-self-balancing-motorcycle/21002/">Lit Motors' C-1 electric motorcycle will stand up for itself</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>15:58 January 4, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lit-motors-c1-self-balancing-motorcycle/21002/#comments">54 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lit-motors-c1-self-balancing-motorcycle/21002/pictures">12 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lit-motors-c1-self-balancing-motorcycle/21002/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/c-1-10.jpg" title="The C-1 is a proposed fully-electric and fully-enclosed self-balancing motorcycle" alt="The C-1 is a proposed fully-electric and fully-enclosed self-balancing motorcycle"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>As any avid biker will tell you, motorcycles have a lot of advantages over cars - they use less fuel, accelerate faster, are more maneuverable, can be parked in more places, and don't incorporate the weight of extra seating for passengers who are non-existent on solo commutes. As many <em>other</em> people will tell you, however, motorcycles also leave their occupants open to the rain and cold, and can potentially tip over and scatter those occupants across the road. That's where Lit Motors' C-1 comes into the picture. It's a proposed fully-enclosed two-passenger electric motorbike that uses an electronically-controlled gyroscopic stabilizing system to stay upright when stopped, or even when struck from the side in an accident. <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lit-motors-c1-self-balancing-motorcycle/21002/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lazareth-wazuma-v8-quad/20931/">Lazareth's 250 hp, Ferrari-powered Wazuma V8 quad goes up for sale</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>12:48 December 27, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lazareth-wazuma-v8-quad/20931/#comments">8 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lazareth-wazuma-v8-quad/20931/pictures">10 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/lazareth-wazuma-v8-quad/20931/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/wazumav8f.jpg" title="Lazareth's Wazuma V8F features a 3.0L Ferrari V8 engine, a handlebar-controlled BMW gearbo..." alt="Lazareth's Wazuma V8F features a 3.0L Ferrari V8 engine, a handlebar-controlled BMW gearbo..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>In my part of the world, quad bikes (or ATVs) are everywhere.

There was also a three-wheeled electric commuter, a fold-up electric pedal-assist bicycle and, wait for it, an 80 km/l (226 mpg Imperial or 188 U.S. miles/gallon) retro 125cc commuter that's somewhere between a bicycle and motorcycle – it weighs just 80 kg and it is beautiful. <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/yamaha-y125-concept-retro-220-mpg/20672/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-electric-superbike/20667/">The 137mph Energica electric superbike</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/author/martin-hone/">Martin Hone</a></p> <p><em>21:38 November 29, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-electric-superbike/20667/#comments">13 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-electric-superbike/20667/picture/149223/">9 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/energica-electric-superbike/20667/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/energetica-5.jpg" title="The 137mph Energica electric superbike" alt="The 137mph Energica electric superbike"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Italian electric race-bike outfit CRP Racing has announced its first road-going superbike, the Energica.

On April 23, 1972, Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari debuted Ducati's new desmodromic 750 v-twin with a 1-2 victory at the Imola 200 Mile Race. They beat Giacomo Agostini's MV Agusta, plus the best that Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Triumph, BSA, Laverda and Moto Guzzi could offer. The famous victory set Ducati on a course that saw its big desmo V-twins dominating superbike racing for four decades. The official factory reserve bike from Ducatis most famous moment is coming up for auction, with bidding expected to finish beyond EUR150,000. <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/historical-ducati-v-twin-auction/20592/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-1199-panigale-review/20587/">Ducati's flagship 1199 Panigale: the full story</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/author/loz-blain/">Loz Blain</a></p> <p><em>15:25 November 23, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-1199-panigale-review/20587/#comments">4 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-1199-panigale-review/20587/picture/148587/">96 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-1199-panigale-review/20587/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/ducati-1199-panigale-full-story-review.jpg" title="Ducati's 1199 Panigale" alt="Ducati's 1199 Panigale"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>A formula one car, at 640 kg and about 800 horsepower, has a power-to-weight ratio around 1.25 horsepower per kilogram. The new 1199 Panigale, with 195 horsepower and 164 kg, has a ratio of 1.19 horsepower per kilogram. Granted, that figure changes significantly if you add my porky badonkadonk and a full tank to the equation ... but regardless, this roaring L-twin beast is not only the new power-to-weight champion of the production motorcycle world, it's a ground-up reinvention of the Ducati superbike that has reportedly been in development since the venerable 1098 first hit showroom floors in 2007. Even without factory support, the 1198 won this year's World Superbike championship ... and absolutely everything about the Panigale looks significantly better, including Troy Bayliss' lap times. Let's take a closer look at what is easily the most desirable supersports bike of 2012. <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati-1199-panigale-review/20587/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/2/">Next </a> » </strong></div> </center> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120118180512/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
