A cheaper alternative to the Black-Trail bike, the M55-Bikes Beast is yet another “hybrid” bicycle which is powered by a battery and it only costs €25,555 (about $35,000) before taxes… but you do get free delivery.

Again, like I said about the Black-Trail, why would anyone want to spend this kind of money on a bicycle that is less eco-friendly than its human-powered cousin?  If you need to go longer distances, then I think a Toyota Prius (or even Chevy Volt) might be a better alternative, and you can transport three or four of your hippy buddies with you.

2012 marks the 110^th anniversary of the iconic British motorcycle brand Triumph and to celebrate, Triumph has introduced the 2012 Bonneville T100 110^th Anniversary bike.  The limited edition motorcycle is based on the standard 1902 No. 1 Bonneville T100 model.

The Triumph Bonneville 110^th Anniversary Edition bike features a classic Khaki Green and Aluminum Silver paint scheme and comes with a special crest on the side cover inspired by classic Triumph tank badges.  Other unique items on the 110^th anniversary edition bike include a chrome chain guard, chrome pillion grab handle, and a chrome cam cover.

I’ve never had an opportunity to ride a motorcycle on my own but I certainly appreciate the technology in the latest bikes as well as the beautiful designs. Just when you think a sports bike can’t look any sexier, manufacturers somehow are able to pull it off. The bike featured today is not exactly sexy but the concept is definitely unique and has a number of advantages going for it that could be introduced on a larger scale to the motorcycle industry.

You may have seen three-wheel automobiles in the past but nothing like the three-wheel in-line motorcycle, the creation of Jon Parson who is based in the UK. His company, Dynamic Design Studio, was set up in 2006 and work began on developing three-wheel in-line motorcycle to improve of the standard two wheel motorcycle. I admit, it’s definitely a head turner with it’s extended wheel base and of course the extra wheel.
