This high performance 2-wheeler was inspired by the AMG GT, and sports a gorgeous yellow and black paint job atop a lightweight frame. The bike is outfitted with carbon fiber handle bars, multi-shift functionality and a set of Formula AMG R1 Racing FCS disc brakes for optimum braking power. The 29-inch carbon fiber wheels wrapped in Continental Race King tires round things out. Production will be extremely limited, with only 100 total units hitting the scene. Each one will start retailing at roughly $11,000.

An all-terrain vehicle that employs tracks on its rear section is to be distributed in the Middle East and Africa by the Streit Group and Sand-X.
The two companies, under a strategic partnership, also plan to manufacture an armored variant of Sand-X's T-ATV 1200.

"Our vision has always been to be a world leader in the security market by providing our customers with the latest advanced engineering & technology adapted to the security & defense market.
"With our newly extended production and training facilities in UAE we are not only be able to meet production volumes but also will be able to provide a range of specifically designed training courses for the armored and unarmored Sand-X T-ATV together with our extended range of APC's and MRAP courses."
Sand-X is a Swiss company with an operation in the UAE. It says the ATV features a Rotax four-stroke, fuel-injected engine and can reach a speed of 115 mph.
"We are pleased to work in partnership and R&D cooperation with Streit Group," said Urs Eiselin, chief executive officer of Sand–X. "Their extensive experience within the international security and defense market will be the best ambassador and technology partner for Sand-X Motors and allow us to achieve continued success"

The 03GEN-F and 03GEN-X are both three-wheeled scooters, with the F model focusing more on racing and the X aiming for an on-and-off-road user. Details are still scarce, but focusing on the 03GEN-X, we can see it has wire spoke wheels, knobby tires, a rising exhaust, and a distinct scrambler style to it. Other highlights include a futuristic X-shaped headlight, colorful digital display, leather seat, and a thick tube rear frame with the taillight and rear turn signals built into it.

This $25,000 bicycle features a foldable 20” military-spec aluminum frame, all but guaranteeing it can take whatever you dish out over many years. Carbon fiber is used in the six-spoke, 26” wheels which get their orders from a 4-kW motor, a 14-speed Rohlof Speedhub and a SmeshGear transmission.
It all adds up to a top speed of 43.5 mph with up to 184 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheel. Using just motor power, the Trefecta DRT can travel up to 62 miles before needing a battery charge, which takes about three hours. Other highlights include Schwalbe mountain bike tires, Hope disc brakes, and a built-in handlebar computer.

A few geniuses in the Melbourne area combined their talents in order to build a motorcycle worthy of setting a new DLRA land speed record at Lake Gardiner in South Australia. Equipped with a fully built 1000cc motor which includes high performance pistons and rods along with enlarged throttle bodies and a whole slew of other updates, the crew was able to take the standard 69 horsepower output generated from a 2009 Thruxton, and increase it to over 100 ponies. The team also threw on some race suspension and a lightweight carbon fiber body to boot.

With a high-grade steel unibody and unique wood burl side panels, the Bishop immediately impresses us as an offbeat beauty. It features a 125cc engine, custom muffler, sand-casted swingarm, custom aluminum indicators, custom brakelight, custom fork/suspension, charcoal grey suede seat, and a big cool gas cap on top. Only 9 of these gems are being produced so if you’re looking for that “state of enlightenment” as Bandit9 puts it, you’ll have to act fast.

Inspired by the look of American classics, this featherweight (99 lbs.) electric motorbike can travel up to 43 miles at a top speed of 28 mph. A recharge is said to take about six hours, but again, no gas required—that’s crucial. Right now it’s only approved for all EU countries, along with Switzerland and Norway, but it’s said to be heading to the US soon.
