It looks like a Ferrari and a cool bike made a love child and this is what we got.

Odd Vehicle

This amazing vehicle is a creation of a cool bike that has been equipped with extra seats in form of something that looks like a car. There is room for two people in those extra seats. Looks great, right?

The main goal for riding in the winter is not to catch hypothermia. If your clothes get wet (either from the weather or from perspiration…) than it is time to stop IMMEDIATELY and change your clothes. Do not ride with wet clothes! This will offer basically no protection to you from the cold, and hypothermia comes on quicker than I’ll bet you would like to believe!

Your base layer of clothing should consist of either wool blends, silk, or silk blends. NO COTTON! Cotton takes longer to dry, and will leave you more vulnerable to the cold. Your mid layer should consist of your warm clothes. You need to retain body heat, let perspiration escape, and make sure that it is bulky enough to keep you warm. Fleece is ideal for this layer. Your outer layer should consist of waterproof riding pants, boots, and a jacket. Waterproof is essential so that you can stay dry while riding.

You might also want to wear a balaclava underneath your helmet if it is absolutely frigid, and you can even bundle up more around the neck to keep wind from getting down into your jacket. Remember not to drive in the ice or snow, because conditions like these are dangerous enough for cars to drive in, much less motorcycles.

But, just because it is hard to see at night does not mean that you have no options when it comes to safety. There are still things that you can do to make yourself safer while riding at night, and if you follow some of these tips (or all of them), than you will increase your chances of “arriving alive” as they say.

First, make sure that your bike is clean. Before riding, scrub your headlight, tail lights, reflectors, all shiny surfaces, and windshield. If you increase the amount of reflective surface on your bike, than you increase the chances of another driver seeing you. It is hard enough to spot a motorcycle sometimes during the day, much less at night!

Also, make sure that your helmet is free of smudges and scratches. Scratches and cracks can distort images, and can make it hard for you to figure out just whether or not that car up ahead is really in your lane or if it just looks like it.

Also, if your bike is running an extra bright headlight, make sure that you dim your light for the other drivers. Bright headlights can blind the very people heading for you, and these are the people whom you really need to be seen by!

So, what kind of batteries power this bike? Well, they are not your classic double A’s, that’s for sure! The battery is a new Nan phosphate electrode battery cell from A123Systems. This battery gives the bike a monstrous boost of power, and utilizes nanotechnology to pry every ounce of speed from this electric demon of the road!

This battery is expected to have a usable life of 10 years, and is made of many more environmentally safe materials than you might think. The motor, which can provide 500 hp, is more than enough to challenge any gasoline powered bike! In fact, specialists and riders alike agree that batteries are bound to replace gasoline as the primary source of power for motorcycles. So, it won’t be long until you see the first battery powered bikes racing. Hey, since everyone else is starting to drive them, why not?

Electric motorcycles are cheaper to run, safer for he environment, and more efficient in terms of utilizing power. Yes, they require some charge time, but you won’t be driving them 24 hours at a time either! There is plenty of down time to allow for charge-ups, leading many to believe that electric bikes are bound for world domination quicker than you might think! So, is the Killacycle impressive? Well, if it impresses the record books, and also professional motorcycle riders around the world, than it more than impresses me!

Some people are concerned with these helmets because they seem to limit your field of vision. This is only true vertically. Horizontally, these helmets offer complete vision. Vertically, you may find yourself tilting your head forwards in order to read the instrument panel, but this will still not effect your line of sight with the road. So, vision is really not all that impaired with enclosed helmets.

Another concern with enclosed helmets is the  reduced noise. Some people say that these helmets make it harder to hear the sounds around you that you need to hear in order to be safe. Is this true? Partially. Most of the noise blocked out by an enclosed helmet is just background noise. Sounds like other vehicles coming in your direction are really not effected by an enclosed helmet, so don’t worry about that.

An enclosed helmet also offers more protection against things like bugs and birds. Come on, admit that bugs  in your face is irritating. And do you even want to think about what could happen if a bird hit you in the face at 60 mph? Wouldn’t you rather have an enclosed helmet on for THAT one? It is true that an enclosed helmet will not be as comfortable, but it WILL protect you more, which is the most important thing. Of course, you need to get used to it before you go all out, but if you ever have trouble (which, hopefully you won’t…), than you will undoubtedly be glad that you chose an enclosed helmet.

This monster is power hungry, no doubt about that. This abomination of the road features an 8.3 liter V10 (505 cubic inches) that is capable of bringing a top speed of 400 mph! The bike weighs in at 1500 lbs, making it heavy enough to keep you intact at extreme speeds. The bike boasts independent 4 wheel suspension that will keep you safe on rougher terrain, and it’s shiny metallic cover which is accented by blue and red trim looks space like to say the least!

Are you obsessed with beating your friends off the starting line? Than I don’t think that you would have much to worry about on this bad-boy. This bike can reach 60 mph in about 2.5 seconds, so if I were you, I would secure my helmet.

Technically, this bike has four wheels, not two. So, with this in mind, some people do not actually consider it a motorcycle, but more of a glorified ATV. Whatever the case, the Dodge Tomahawk is a beast. A V10 super bike that looks like it has come straight out of a Batman movie. Is it worth the macho dollars on the tag though? Most say yes. Whatever the case, if you are one of the lucky individuals who get to own this bike, than rest assured that there is nothing in this world like a V10 rumbling beneath you…

Well, the 2008 Hayabusa delivers all the power that you are used to, plus even a little bit more. Also, the drive train and chassis have been improved, making the bike safer and easier to handle. The body has been tweaked in a new cosmetic way as well, featuring the same basic silhouette but with more angles and curves. The headlights might be the most noticeable change to the new busa, as they are less bulky and more aerodynamic looking.

The engine is now bigger, and boasts 1,340 cc as opposed to the 1,299 it did have. This makes the bike more power hungry than ever, so be careful on the throttle until you get used to the bike’s twin swirl combustion chambers that offer over 10% more power than before. The bike will give you up to 194 hp, and don’t you dare doubt it!

Some other improvements made to Sazuki’s famous bike are in exhaust improvements and the selective drive mode system. This allows the engine to except modifications to the power using a thumb selector switch.

The new Hayabusa is said to be faster than ever, so be careful before cranking her open. The power reserves hidden within this beast are bottomless, and there are few places on earth that are safe enough for you to unleash this fury without risking at least your life (or, your drivers license if the cops catch you!) !

All in all, the Hayabusa is a devil of a machine. Fast paces, power filled, and beautiful… the 2008 busa is a bike that you will not want to miss out on.

First, the bike is less expensive than bigger units. Therefore, those who are looking to buy their first motorcycle will probably be interested in the 250 because it can get them into the action for a minimal amount of money.

Second, the bike is safer than bigger bikes because it is not the powerful beast that you might think of when you think of the bigger Ninjas. Yes, it has some “get up and go” to it, but you still need to plan and use momentum when passing a semi, sort of like you do in a small 4-cylinder car.

The motorcycle is also easy to drive. It is small and lightweight, making it extremely easy to handle in places like parking lots. Even though the 08 model has gained a little weight over its predecessor and now weighs in at about 333 lbs, you will find the bike light on it’s wheels. And since the bike isn’t packed with  power like larger bikes, it is safer for new riders to drive. Giving this bike gas won’t get you into near as much trouble as you can get into with a bigger Ninja.

And last but not least, this bike is fun to drive. Have you ever heard that it is more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow? Well, it seems that with the 250, less is definitely more. For some reason, being able to red-line this baby when on a straight stretch without worrying about getting a speeding ticket is amazing.

2008 Honda Rebel. Price? About $3,199. A cruiser with serious attitude, this bike will store 2.6 gallons of fuel, sports a 234 cc air-cooled engine, and shifts with a 5-speed tranny.
