Tom Cruise blows £50k on a Vyrus (http://www.visordown.com/motorcyclenews/view/tom_cruise_blows_50k_on_a_vyrus/830.html)
Who cares about Cruise…but the bike…that is another thing all together!

Revolution Motorcycles RV100 mockup for sale (http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2007/05/31/revolution-motorcycles-rv100-mockup-for-sale/)
I never published my take on the original article in The Kneeslider ( http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2006/11/27/revolution-motorcycles-rv100/) about this bike. I wondered why someone would build something this ugly. Now Revolution Motors ( http://www.revmoco.com/index.htm
) is selling it on eBay.

It’s easier than you think to get over 70 miles per gallon ( http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/05/30/its-easier-than-you-think-to-get-over-70-miles-per-gallon/)
The article features a Kawasaki. Obviously their marketing department didn’t have anything to do with it because the bike pictured is silver not grees.

Suzuki Bandit 1250S: The ultimate steal? (http://www.motoring.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=3855629&fSectionId=759&fSetId=381)
The author suggests, “If I had to ride from London to Madrid in 24 hours I would choose a Triumph Sprint, Ducati ST3 or BMW K1200GT.” The problem for BMW is the Bandit stole many of its potential R1200ST in many markets.

That Duc does not look like a twin. Not even sure it has a cylinder. Maybe the brakes have a cylinder but would they be useful outside the parking lot.

Maybe a time warp occurred and this is April 1 instead of June 1.
