2011 Harley Davidson SuperLow
Harley Davidson's newest brute for 2011, the SuperLow (from $7,999), was built from the ground up not to be the loudest and fastest bike on the road, but one that takes you through the backroads smoothly while having enough grunt to power through corners. Power comes from an Evolution 883cc V-Twin delivering 55 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm that's accented by the clean flowing lines which contributes to the bike's imposing yet subtle appearance. Link

2011 Ducati 848 EVO
The latest thoroughbred to come out from the speed happy Italians at Ducati comes in form of a new 848, the 848 EVO ($13-$14,000). The bike is capable of hitting 140 horsepower at 10,000+ rpm that should give you enough go to turn any twisty backroad into your own personal Laguna Seca. The new 848 also has quite a bit of stopping power via the Brembo Monoblocs which they've matched with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires. Link

Horex Motorcycles
After lying dormant for 50 years, Horex, a German motorcycle company formerly owned by Daimler-Benz, is getting a second lease on life with the brand's relaunch of their new bike in the first quarter of 2011. The bike will use an engine unique to the brand, a 1218cc Supercharged VR6 developed with some help from good ol' VW. As for us Yanks, we're going to have to wait awhile to experience Horexes of our very own as the bikes are slated to hit our shores until 2013. Link / Source

Ducati Monster 796

As for specs, the Desmodue 796 powered bike puts out 87 hp at 8,250 rpm and a torque rating of 58lb-ft at 6,250 rpm. Link

Paul Smith Motorcycle Helmet
The latest from the realm of designer motorcycle helmets comes via our favorite British fashion icon, Paul Smith, with a stunning stylized Union Jack design wrapped around the helmet. Unfortunately the helmet was designed specifically for moped riding so if you're hoping to take it on your Superbike, you'll probably want to stick with your Shoei...or you can buy a Vespa. Link: $220

2010 Vyrus 987 C3 4V
You are looking at the motorcycle equivalent of the Bugatti Veyron, a 211 mile per hour monster that as of now has the title of the most powerful production bike on the road. And in case you're not brave enough to sit on what is essentially a land based cruise missle, there will also be 170 and 184 hp versions which lack the supercharger of the range topping model.
