If you like to ride American cruisers but think Harley Davidson motorcycles are a bit too mainstream then the Victory Motorcycles High-Ball might be the bike for you.  Unveiled at the Progressive Motorcycle Show in New York, the High-Ball is sex on two wheels.  Its painted in flat black, from head to toes, with contrasting white paint on the fuel tank and it comes with retro-cool white-walled tires.

The Victory High-Ball comes with a 106/6 stage 2 V-twin engine that produces 97 horsepower and 113 pound-feet of torque.  The bike comes with ape hangers, which Victory says are adjustable and can be folded down for those that prefer comfort over looking like an ape riding a motorcycle ;).  Victory Motorcycles High-Ball has a starting price of $13,499.

The Wazuma V8F is the quad Batman would ride when his Bat Mobile is in the garage getting serviced.  It’s probably the world’s most expensive and powerful quad; powered by a Ferrari V8 engine that produces 250 horsepower, the quad weighs less than 650 kg (1,430 pounds) and can hit a top speed of 241 km/h (150 mph).  The Ferrari engine is mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox from a BMW M3 placed on the handle bar.

The quad rides on modified Momo (+Power) wheels with 324 mm disc brakes and Brembo calipers.  The quad is equipped with slick tires that measure 285/30 ZR19 in the front and 315/30 ZR18 in the back.  The one-off V8F was created by the French company Lazareth and is based on their Wazuma R1 quad and is currently for sale at jameslist.com for a whopping sum of €200,000, or about $261,000 at today’s exchange rate.
