Ducati Diavel Cromo Motorcycle


The Ducati Diavel Cromo Motorcycle embraces it, with a chrome mirror-finished gas tank that contrasts with other gloss black parts. Of course, it's still a Ducati, so it's loaded with high-performance parts like a 162hp Testastretta 11° engine, Brembo brakes, 14-spoke, 17-inch wheels wrapped with Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rubber, three electronic riding modes, Ride-by-Wire and Ducati Traction Control technology, Marzoochi front forks, a Sachs rear suspension, and a hands-free ignition.

The C-1 Electric Motorcycle

The C-1 Electric Motorcycle was created by Lit Motors, Inc. for those who are infatuated with the idea of motor bikes but too afraid to ride one. The C-1 has an enclosed frame, seats two and is balanced by gyroscopes.
The C-1 Electric Motorcycle can hit a top speed of 120 mph and needs to be recharged after an impressive 200 miles. The bike seats two although the second person looks to be somewhat squished in the concept photos. 
Several gyroscopes placed on the underside of the vehicle would help balance it at stops and in the event of an accident. Lit Motors’ C-1 would also have H2V, H2C, V2I and V2V connectivity to provide drivers with real-time information on weather and traffic conditions.

Lito Sora Electric Motorcycle


It took cues from Bobber and Street Fighter bikes to create the Lito Sora Electric Motorcycle ($44,000).
Built from the ground-up as an electric superbike, the Sora sports the world's first electric motorcycle seat, letting ride in a low position on the highway, then move the seat higher for more aggressive riding. 

Other features include an integrated GPS system and touch screen, high-quality suspension components, a regenerative braking system, an on-board charging port and sealed, lockable storage compartment, carbon fiber fairing and an aluminum chassis, a CVT transmission that helps the Sora move from 0-60 in roughly four seconds on its way to a top speed of 120 mph, and a unique notification system that emails you when it's done charging and ready to ride.

Bell & Ross for Harley-Davidson



Harley-Davidson has teamed up with Bell & Ross for a one-off custom motorcycle: the Bell & Ross-inspired Nascafe Racer for bike lovers who also have a passion for watches.
The watch manufacturer has also earlier designed a premium “BR 01-92 Compass watch” for motorcycle riders, which explains the move. The unique motorcycle is based on the Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Nightrain. The timepiece is mounted in a handcrafted center console using a machined section of aluminum, and the bike has been given a custom paint job in a combination of anodised blue, carbon and stealth-like matte black to reflect the timepiece.
