Talon Motors has unveiled its Invader, and we have to admit that the specs on it are pretty impressive. Much more so than Talon's last creation, the Street Quad.
Power for the Invader is provided in spades, thanks to a 1,300-cc Suzuki Hayabusa engine mated to a six-speed sequential transmission. The powertrain provides enough scoot to move this reverse trike from 0-60 miles per hour in under four seconds. Keep going and you'll eventually hit the top speed of 150 mph.
Those speeds require serious hardware to keep things safe, and the Invader delivers with a fully adjustable suspension setup. A set of cross-drilled Wilwood rotors and four-piston calipers quickly bring things back within legal limits.
Pricing for the standard Invader begins at $42,900, with a host of optional features being made available.
And I have it in my garage as we speak.

Ducati has entered the cruiser bike fray with the new Diavel.
Anticipated for some time now, the Diavel packs 162 horsepower into a 456 lb package with some of the most wicked styling this side of a Harley V-Rod. But that's not the end of it, as Ducati has packed the Diavel full of all the latest technology from the electronic throttle, traction control and ABS brakes to the keyless ignition and auto-dimming tank-mounted display. Of course this much machine will cost you, and cost you plenty: $17k for the base model, and nearly $20k for the even lighter Carbon model to follow.
I want one as well. On my xmas list.

While this miniature motorcycle won't be speedy on the roads anymore, that doesn't mean it doesn't have enough grunt to help you blaze through your gaming sessions. Sporting some juicy specifications, and fancy lights such as five bright CCFLs, LED spot light, and neon under-car lights, it'll be noticeable anywhere. It took the creator 5 months to build, though he claims that he was only working on it for a good 12 days. Specifications of it include:
•Intel Core i7 920 CPU
•Asus P6T motherboard
•EVGA 9800 GTX+ graphics card
•1TB of storage
•3GB of DDR3 RAM
Pretty cool

Based on the company’s best-selling middleweight superbike ever, the Ducati 848 EVO($13,000) improves upon its stablemate with a specially tuned Testastretta Evoluzione engine pumping out 140 horses, Brembo Monobloc brake calipers, improved chassis and braking systems, a cross-mounted steering damper for added control, Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires, and a curb weight of only 369 pounds. Available in traditional Ducati Red or the amazingly stealth “Dark” edition.. I need to get one like yesturday.

We know that Ghost Rider has a badass bike, which is why we think this spokeless wheels two-wheeler is a suitable candidate for the one who wields the power of the Penance Stare. Amen Design Company, the brains behind this mean pair of wheels aim to introduce a new mojo among motorcyclists, but rest assured that their efforts are expensive to replicate, and will most definitely be considered as expensive even. One thing's for sure though - money can definitely buy you coolness!
