Motorcycles With Unique Touch & Manly Design (Part: 1)

There is something about a motorcycle that is fundamentally manly. Even if there’s a woman on the bike (for the picture obviously) the beast beneath always shines through. If you don’t own a motorcycle, you want one. If you do own a motorcycle, you want more. No amount of crashes, kids, or horror stories will dissuade men from their love of an engine strapped to two wheels. These bikes don’t just put the wind in your hair and a hottie in your lap, they’re a direct line to your testosterone and adrenaline.

1. Magpul Ronin
The Magpul Ronin is an experimental motorcycle project based on the Buell 1125R sport bike. The project itself represents the first iteration of a design exercise inspired by interests, hobbies, and passions shared by many within Magpul. Taken from the Japanese word for a samurai who lost his master, the name "Ronin" was chosen after the Buell Motorcycle Company ceased production and closed its doors in 2009. The model 1125R was selected due to its high level of performance and aesthetic potential that were never fully realized by Buell as a subsidiary of Harley Davidson.

The Ronin’s most obvious and controversial feature is its custom linkage fork and front-mounted radiator. Engineered to mimic the axle path of the stock Buell fork, this contemporary iteration of the venerable girder fork uses sealed bearings and modern hydraulics to provide performance on par with conventional telescopic forks. In addition to improvements in rigidity and tunability, a slight change in trail eliminates the heavy steering of the stock 1125R in turns, and yields a lighter and more responsive feel up front.

The dual side factory radiators have been replaced by a single custom unit, and repositioned forward to allow direct airflow to and from the radiator. Unlike the stock Buell configuration which forces hot air into the engine bay and onto the rider’s legs, the smaller, lighter Magpul radiator vents openly, thereby increasing rider comfort and lowering both engine and fuel temperatures. Utilizing lightweight materials and minimalist design, the complete Ronin front end is comparable in weight to the factory 1125R, allowing the steering to remain light and fluid.

2. Robb Handcrafted Cycles Harley
In the hands of a builder from Australia named Dylan Robb, massive weight of a Harley-Davidson could cut back to only weighing 162 kg. A modified concept of the future whether the motor? But only this time we have a work that focuses on cutting weight.

Yes, the modification shop owner nicknamed Robb Handcrafted Cycles, Dylan Robb, deliberately implement some custom components such as ultra-light carbon fiber. So no wonder if the HD Sportster based bike now weighs 162 kg.

The initial steps after exposing the entire body of the motor alerts in 1969 this is a homemade chassis melaburi Gworks Custom Cycles with patterned carbon powder coating. Then Dylan also grafting the front suspension system are also innate Ducati 916-custom.

After doing the blueprint, balance and porting on a standard machine, this dandy man then decided to install a Super E carburetor made ​​by S & S in order to facilitate the flow of fuel according to engine requirements.

But that is no less cool is the use of carbon fiber wheels. Wheels are actually made ​​for HD V-Rod by Blackstone Tek Product is a little touch Brembo calipers to fit the with this bike.

All modifications are done for a noble purpose, the name of Australia in the event the AMD World Championship of Bike Building.

Shoots be loved side dish arrived. Fruit of this Dyllan won honors in the category of Best Engineered Bike and Best in Australia series.

3. MV Augusta F4CC
MV Agusta build just 100 examples of this stunning, F4CC-the "CC" designation a tribute to company founder Claudio Castiglioni, who designed this model himself with the singular aim of constructing the finest motorcycle ever made.

The F4CC engine comes straight from the MV Racing Department, assembled under the watchful eye of racing director Andea Goggi himself. Based on the standard F4R inline-four, bore is increased 3mm to 79mm (to displace 1078cc), lighter pistons and stronger connecting rods are fitted and the combustion chamber geometry is optimized.

Exotic materials are used wherever possible: titanium valves and magnesium gearbox, clutch (a special slipper clutch unique to this model) and alternator covers, all contributing to the claimed 8.8-pound weight savings compared to the standard F4R engine. Bigger 48mm throttle bodies (46mm for the F4R) fed by MV's patented "Torque Shift System" variable-length velocity stacks, a full titanium Corse exhaust and special racing ECU further contribute to a stout, 163.7 rear-wheel horsepower on our dyno.

The F4CC chassis is similarly upgraded. The trellis section remains chromoly, but the lower sideplates shift from aluminum to magnesium, as does the forged, single-sided swingarm. The Brembo Monobloc brakes are identical to those used on factory Superbikes, and Brembo contributes the forged aluminum Y-spoke wheels as well. The 50mm carbon nitride-coated inverted fork is a specially calibrated, fully adjustable Marzocchi piece. Shock is from Sachs.

4. Deus Grievous Angel
Another awesome custom bike by Australians Deus. The Grievous Angel, based on a Yamaha SR400, is deserving of the notoriety that Deus has in customizing motorcycles. 

Basically what was taken from the Yamaha SR 400 was the engine. ... the rest was all changed. Even if it is a Japanese bike, the great qualities of SR 400 were used to create an authentic English Cafe Racer.

Deus celebrates the custom motorcycle culture of the 1940s onwards, a reaction to the bland bikes currently being pumped out by the industry big boys.

And Deus bikes are certainly making a name with enthusiasts with models like the Grievous Angel, packing  powder-coated mags, a modified frame and a host of performance parts that make this a demon on the road, as well as a stylish retro bike.

5. Triumph Rocket III Roadster
Raw muscle might not be the first thing that comes to mind when exploring the Englishness of things. The Triumph Rocket III is a very English motorcycle, however, and like the Beefeaters that guard the Tower of London, the Rocket has been provided for generously in terms of a large physique.

Whether you as a rider have to be built like a Rugby player is another matter, but you do need long arms and big hands. The 2.3-liter mammoth now produces a staggering 163 ft/lbs of Torque @ 2750 rpm and 146 horsepower @ 5750 rpm.

A 146 horsepower muscle beast with mind blowing amounts of torque. New ergonomics are in place for a more comfortable ride and the suspension is soft. Added to this is a newly developed ABS system for the Rocket.

The Triumph Rocket III Roadster is not for the faint hearted and, by design, it's made to intimidate. The seat is a little higher and closer to those big handlebars and the footpegs has been moved back a little. These to allow shorter people to enjoy the Rocket III experience more.
