Bikes

We don’t often write about scooters here at Unfinished Man because scooters are mainly for getting from point A to B, not a very interesting mode of transportation.  But when it comes to Vespa scooters, well… they’re cool, even though they come with small engines and just get you from point A to B.

The 2013 Vespa 946 scooter (no it’s not powered by a 946 cc engine) takes its design inspirations from the original World War II era MP6 prototype with modern-day technology.  The Vespa 946’s monocoque is made out of

Known for their watches, Bell & Ross have teamed up with motorcycle makers Harley-Davidson for a one off (hideous-looking) custom bike.  With this bike you get worst of both worlds: Bell & Ross make some pretty ugly watches and Harley-Davidson is still fooling people into buying 1950’s technology.

The one-off motorcycle is based on the Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Nightrain and is designed to look like a café racer.  It features a Bell & Ross watch planted on the fuel tank on top of a machined piece of aluminum.  Since this an H-D bike, plenty of vibration is to be expected, which should keep the Bell & Ross watch wound at all times, if it’s an automatic piece.

No, this Ducati Monster is not powered by a diesel engine!  The Ducati Monster Diesel Edition motorcycle is a special edition Monster 1100 EVO that celebrates the Italian clothing company Diesel’s sponsorship of the Ducati MotoGP team.

The special edition Monster is painted in matte olive green which the company is calling “urban military chic” and features a matte black frame.  The front brake calipers are finished in yellow and a Diesel logo is stitched onto the leather seat.  The fuel tank features a laser etched Diesel Mohican logo and a

There was a time when you wanted to stand out from the crowd or be a “rebel”, you’d get a Harley Davidson motorcycle, but those days are long gone. HD motorcycles are too mainstream, and many middle aged men going through mid-life crisis have these bikes.  If you really want to stand out, you should check out Janus Motorcycles. Janus is a brand new motorcycle company based out of Goshen, Indiana.  The company is

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.
