You want to trade it in and get one of these instead..

Bike of the Month Kawasaki ZZR1400 "ZX-14""Super Sport"
Kawasaki’s original ZZR1100 certainly earned itself a fierce reputation amongst bike enthusiasts when the model was launched over 15 years ago. A wildly optimistic speedometer informing riders that they were breaking the magic 300kph barrier was nothing more than fantasy. However that never prevented the bike from reaching legend status as for many years, optimistic speedo or not, the ZZR had the highest top speed of any standard motorcycle. It was never a sportsbike by any stretch of the imagination, a wet weight well in excess of 250kg saw to

11 lakh. This makes the industry drop their expectation on number in country. This motorbike will be launched in the 1st week of September but its retail cost would be high due to its big 105% import duty.

New bike - Cagiva Mito 125
Thanks It is a lot of fun - even more nimble & better handling than any previous bike I've owned, which is saying something as that lineup includes a '92 TZR-250 and a 2000 GSXR-600.

Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 -
In the cruiser category bigger is definitely better, and the super-macho new Vulcan 2000 is the largest displacement V-Twin in the world. This high-powered flagship machine is unlike anything in the cruiser category and completely redefines Kawasaki's brand DNA in this important market. Complementing the engine's massive size and impressive power output is an attractive style that mixes modern and traditional design elements in a streamlined, highly integrated package. Centrepiece of the Vulcan 2000's remarkable styling is the streamlined headlight nacelle enclosing a "gatling" projector-beam headlamp.
Engine displacement is an incredible 2,053 cc, making the Vulcan 2000 the largest displacement production V-Twin in history. Not only does this muscular power plant produce massive amounts of torque and horsepower, it is also one of the best-looking VTwin engines in the world, with the huge gracefully tapered cylinders attractively accentuated by the long pushrod tubes and curvaceous engine covers.
The "stretched" low-and-long chassis is just as impressive. As the top model in Kawasaki's cruiser line-up, every detail expresses the high quality, superb comfort and feeling of trustworthiness customers expect from a flagship machine.

I think there are other advantages to the Guzzi layout then cylinder cooling and I would love to see a water cooled transverse-V motor. To me it's a big part of the appeal. The impact on handling as well as the look. Water cooling is coming. It would be hard to avoid. Even Harley has a water cooled bike(two if you count the new Buell). I say bring it on. More power good. And incorperating the trans into the engine to shorten the length of the drive train would be a huge step forward. I would love it. Not holding my breath on any of this though.
the 848 looks stunning in white.
I was there too, very early. I stared at it like everyone else. Last year at the Vancouver Show, Helicopter Jim had his at the Guzzi display. Again, people stared in amazement that M.G. could make something like that. Squids, greasers, mods, everybody. Too bad they couldn't start it inside, it sounds over the top frickin' unreal. They could use that same body style and fit it to the new format of bike frames they have. Realistically, they will have to use an engine that currently meets noise and emission requirements, so the MGS-01 engine's state of tune will never be seen again. Just won't happen. In fact, I don't know why one of us hasn't tried to find this bodywork and adapt it to a standard V11. It would be much easier than adapting it to the new format. Hey Greg, is there a price listing for the bodywork for the MGS-01? I think I have a plan!!Steve

Each huge, 112mm forged aluminium-alloy piston is a product of race-proven design, using short skirts with cutaway sides to reduce friction and a short, inset piston pin to reduce reciprocating weight.
Each cylinder is coated with Suzuki's own race-proven nickel-phosphorous-silicon-carbide coating, known as SCEM (Suzuki composite Electrochemical Material).
The Intruder M1800R uses a purpose-built version of the revolutionary SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) fuel injection system first introduced on the GSX-R line.

MV Agusta have updated all models for 2007. One of them is the F41000R and yes, we are talking colours. But believe us, those new colours have been researched and combined with Michelangelo's touch. That's why the F41000R looks so fresh in white and black. The 2006 F4 1000 R engine had already received a lot of updates to make it cleaner and the 2007 engine stays the same. The Euro 3 modifications that had to be made involves adjusting the Magnet Marelli fuelling system and adding a lambda sensor directly in front of the catalyser. To achieve this MV Agusta F4 1000 R now features a one-piece exhaust system with no joints. This minimises the risk of anything disturbing the airflow and that means a smoother ride. The F4 is not restricted to any particular top speed and can do more than 300km/h, hence the need for the radial Brembo mono block brakes. The F4 1000 R produces 174bhp @ 11.900rpm and 111Nm @ 10.000rpm. Also available in red/silver and black.

Well the big Yamaha TMax is rumored to be arriving in the U.S. next year. This is a wildly popular scooter that is designed more for performance than anything else. The suspension and motor have more in common with traditional mc's than scooters.
Here is a brief description from Yamaha Japan:"Think of the TMAX as a sports bike that looks like a scooter. The frame, suspension and engine are pure motorcycle. And with a cruising speed of 160 km/h and sports bike handling qualities, this is one high-performing roller. No unit swingarms or other scooter orthodoxy on this hot-rod. The new TMAX runs fuel injection and higher compression for improved driveability in the low and medium rpm ranges.The suspension has also been upgraded for improved ride quality. • High-tensile-steel Diamond Frame • Liquid-cooled DOHC 4-valve Parallel Twin Engine • FI • 498cm3 • Radial Tyres • Dual Front Disc Brakes"Here is a great video of the bike running a short course with the TMax:
The Yamaha TMax is the flagship of the their scooter line. Essentially if offers performance over efficiency. For the record most of the big scooters have a similar sport touring look to them but I don't see it being a clone of the Majesty.Some of the differences from the Majesty are a larger twin motor vs. a single, dual disc brakes, mc like suspension, frame mounted motor are a few of the details. This TMax is Yamaha's equivalent of the Honda SilverWing and Burgman 650 for sophistication.If you want a new design from Yamaha you will have to wait a while for the 250 sport Majesty:
However the TMax does have a few unique features that pull it away from the traditional maxi-scoot design."Using technology proven in Yamaha’s sportbike line, TMAX has a lightweight, CF die-cast aluminum frame that provides rigidity and balance for superb handling.Motorcycle-type telescopic front forks use beefy 43mm tubes.15-inch cast aluminum wheels front and rear are fitted with radial tires for excellent, sporty handling."And Smitty the TMax and many other maxi-scooters are as "real" as a motorcycle.

2007 Moto Guzzi sport bike:
As Moto Guzzi will concentrate on launching a sports bike next after efforts on the Norge tourer and Griso muscle bike. Today this has been confirmed from the Moto Guzzi press office. Daniele Torresan, Moto Guzzi press officer, told me that Moto Guzzi is testing a 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 litre engine destined for the new sports bike
Only one of the configurations will make it, but cubes will give the new bike more muscle and an advantage on the road. The bike will be fully faired and the styling will be a mixture between the Griso and Norge models.It is believed Moto Guzzi has been developing an adventure bike they intend to call Stelvio. Moto Guzzi told us this project has been postponed at least one year so no production ready Moto Guzzi adventure bike later this year at the EICMA show in Milan.Tor Sagen.CG: Hugo van Waaijen (red) & Luc1(silver) .
