Yamal Peninsula, which means “to end of the Earth”. A peninsula in Russia, which is known for being nothing short of inhospitable, barren, and perpetually frozen, is what the 2012 Ural Yamal Limited Edition Sidecar Motorcycle($14,250) was dubbed and thrives. Equipped with its own double hull like the boat, additional lighting, knobby spare tire, and hand guards, makes this bike the perfect defensive tool or your last hope of survival on thin ice.

Hyper performance, extreme versatility… The Hyperstrada($TBA) extends the concept to fascinating new horizons, featuring extras such as ABS, DTC, windshield, side bags, dedicated ergonomics and a series of touring features. It comes standard with 821 cc Testastretta 11° engine that pushes out 110 hp of HIGH torque and comes quipped with a all new 2-1 exhaust system that has been completely redesigned with 50 mm exhaust headers and valves which flow into the new single silencer made with a very compact, high absorption technology with a black finish and stainless steel rear frame

This is as close as living on the edge, having nothing on your mind except the glorious machine beneath you and the road you are traveling… The 2013 Ducati 1199 Panigale R($30,000) has recently been pulled out of the shadows and for the life of me, it is down right beautiful. Pushing the red line up with another 500RPM and sporting a new full race exhaust system and modified ECU along with the usual goodies, its one to be at the top of every bike lovers wishing list.

Bonneville Salt Flats, the motor head heaven, where people from all over the world come to test their machines, breaking record after record in utter joy between man and machine. One of those lucky enough to break the record in his class is non other than the Confederate X132 Hellcat Combat($72,000) pushing out 160 lb-ft of torque and 160 horsepower in something that’s to light to feel its own weight, this monster V-Twin powered beauty is now up for production.

CECTEK the underdog of ATV from Taiwan, boasting superior off-road performance, longer wheel travel, higher ground clearance, forged aluminum that’s light weight, has excellent handling and penetrative maneuverability… Not bad, the model that includes all of the above is the CECTEK King Cobra ATV($TBA), under its fighter jet like appeal it comes stranded with a liquid cooled, four-stroke 500cc EFI Engine, V-belt automatic CVT transmission, 2WD/4WD modes and three small storage boxes.

Personally, the 2013 Kawasaki Brute Force 750 4x4i EPS($10,000+) atv is the perfect all terrain sports utility vehicle, it has it all, from a 12 month warranty, all the way up to a crazy twin powered, 749cc Liquid-cooled, 90-degree, four-stroke V-twin engine. Equipped for harsh terrain it has a 5 gal tank and selectable four-wheel drive with Variable Front Differential Control.

Usually stripping away parts and then charging extra is the work of Porsche, but in the case of the Moto Guzzi V1100 Custom($TBA) we approve of it, stripping away almost everything and leaving behind the best of, that includes a carbon fiber gas tank, a special Ducati throne and a collection of high-end components, that leaves this beauty looking like bike on a mission.
