What we know for sure is that it will be named the "Ducati 1199 Panigale" and that it will not use the traditional Ducati trellis frame but a roadgoing version of the frameless design which has been raced and evaluated rather unsuccessfully by the world's best rider - Valentino Rossi. It seems like a massive gamble for a company that has traditionally attracted customers with its race-winning superbikes. Rumours suggest that the new road bike will weigh in at 176 kg wet and produce 195 bhp. How well it will handle will be the issue. <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/ducati--new-frame-design-panigale-1199/19990/">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/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/electric-lightcycle-parker-brothers/19897/">All-electric Tron Lightcycle hits the streets</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></p> <p><em>20:11 September 21, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006122814im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/electric-lightcycle-parker-brothers/19897/#comments">26 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006122814im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/electric-lightcycle-parker-brothers/19897/picture/143169/">6 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/electric-lightcycle-parker-brothers/19897/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006122814im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/parker-brothers-lightcycle.png" title="All-Electric Lightcycle (Screenshot from Parker Brothers video)" alt="All-Electric Lightcycle (Screenshot from Parker Brothers video)"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Practicality tends to take a back seat when you combine sci-fi cult status with custom chopper building - and there's no room for a pillion passenger on the Lightcycle.

The Flying Propeller brand is to create a specialist "Urban Mobility" group, launch two premium, high-performance twin-cylinder maxi scooters before the end of the year, and will unveil a concept electro-scooter later today. Using the large volume of enclosed body space of a maxi scooter to contain all the necessaries, the 60 volt Concept e has a 100 kilometer range, recharges from flat inside three hours at a domestic power point, and the performance of a maxi scooter (expected to be equivalent to a 400-500cc commuter motorcycle). The Concept e will be the first volume production two-wheeler without rear vision mirrors – twin rear-facing video cameras relay what's happening behind the vehicle to two LCD monitors in the cockpit.

We already knew the engine was derived from the BMW F 800 R motor with an increase in bore and stroke giving it 898cc, but what we didn't know previously is that the crankshaft has been altered from the F 800 R's 0-degree crank offset angle to 315-degrees, creating an engine with the feel and sound of a V-twin, but with the same excellent power delivery of the parallel-twin at small throttle openings, a characteristic not normally associated with v-twins. Details have also been released on the suspension and running gear packages of both models. <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/husqvarna-nuda-900-v-twin/19734/">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/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-and-husqvarna-electric-motorcycle-concepts/19715/">BMW and Husqvarna electric motorcycle concepts</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jack-martin/">Jack Martin</a></p> <p><em>22:51 September 3, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006122814im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-and-husqvarna-electric-motorcycle-concepts/19715/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006122814im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-and-husqvarna-electric-motorcycle-concepts/19715/picture/141529/">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-and-husqvarna-electric-motorcycle-concepts/19715/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006122814im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bmw-and-husqvarna-electric-motorcycle.jpg" title="BMW and Husqvarna to show electric motorcycle concepts in Frankfurt" alt="BMW and Husqvarna to show electric motorcycle concepts in Frankfurt"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Two of the more intriguing concepts planned for the world's largest motor show (IAA) in Frankfurt a fortnight from now will come from BMW Motorrad and sister brand Husqvarna.

Gizmag feature writer and videographer Loz Blain was out test riding the amazing BMW S1000RR superbike with a friend on board when he survived an extraordinarily close call with an oncoming 4WD that had drifted onto the wrong side of the road. As he was filming for a video review, he had a high-definition camera on board to record the incident, so without further ado here's the footage - and a reminder that not all single vehicle accidents are the rider's fault. <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/close-call-bmw-s1000rr/19667/">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/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/night-rod-special-harley-davidson/19499/">Night Rod Special - cream of the 2012 Harley-Davidsons</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/author/vincent-rice/">Vincent Rice</a></p> <p><em>21:40 August 11, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006122814im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/night-rod-special-harley-davidson/19499/#comments">19 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006122814im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/night-rod-special-harley-davidson/19499/picture/139663/">11 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/night-rod-special-harley-davidson/19499/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006122814im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/nightrod.jpg" title="2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special" alt="2012 Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Harley-Davidson is an American success story. The company has been manufacturing its iconic machines since 1903 but its values were forged by association with the post-war "rebel" motorcycle clubs and paradoxically with the highway patrol police they were so often in conflict with. Like so much of US manufacturing Harley-Davidson took a hit from the rise of the Far East in the 1980s but the boom years of 90's excess saw Harley-Davidson successfully consolidate its brand into the global symbol of 'the American Dream' that it is today. Harley-Davidson understands its place in the world and the 2012 model line up contains variations on all the traditional designs that people expect, some of them going back to the 1920's. It would be wrong however to imagine that the company rejects technological advancement - far from it, and there can be no more beautiful expression of that than the Night Rod Special. <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/night-rod-special-harley-davidson/19499/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20111006122814/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/20111006122814/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
