Killer K1200R

There's a lethal spider lurking somewhere in there...

For those who think the K1200R wasn’t funky enough already, Wunderlich (Germany-based BMW hop-up specialists…) have built the Caranguejeira. A large Brazilian Tarantula spider, the Caranguejeira doesn’t wait for its prey to get trapped in a web. Nope, it simply hunts them down, killing its prey by injecting venom through its fangs. Definitely not one to be messed with…

The Caranguejeira K1200R was designed for Wunderlich by Bart van den Bogaard, a Netherlands-based designer. The mods comprise a new headlamp cluster, new taillamps, ZARD exhaust system, new handlebars, instrument relocation kit, dual air inlets (in place of the stock bike’s single inlet) with free-flow air-filters, adjustable brake and clutch levers and an aluminium bellypan.

The engine, chassis and suspension have been kept stock, though Wunderlich claim a 5bhp hike in power due to the dual air inlet thing. And while their website doesn’t say anything about this, we suppose they can do their ‘Killer Spidey’ thing on the K1300R as well.

Dream Honda Racing-replica

For fans of the All-Japan Road Race Championship Series, Honda have now announced the Dream Honda Racing-replica Fireblade, but only for the Japanese market...

...and here are some other race-rep Fireblades from the past. The Rothmans-replica 'Blade is our favourite, and the 2008 Repsol-rep is also pretty hot!

Honda CB1000R-based in Italy

First shown at the EICMA in Milan a few months ago, the Honda CB1000R XESS streetfighter concept might possibly go on sale in Italy sometime in the next few months. The XESS project was, in fact, headed by an Italian – Vito Cicchetti – the Director General at Honda Italy.

Based on the regular 2008 Honda CB1000R, the CB1000R XESS has been fitted with Showa USD forks, petal discs with radial-mount calipers, a titanium exhaust system, Michelin slicks, velvet seat covers, various carbonfibre bits and, er…, a red chain. The bike looks quite good, we think. In fact, if you remember the Honda Hornet Cup which we wrote about last year, the Italians seems to have a special talent when it comes to doing up Honda streetbikes…

It's red, it's (half) Italian and we think the XESS really does look very sexy

Tomahawk: The World’s fastest bike!

Well, there is a reason I did not go out of my way and call it the fastest two wheeler on turf and that is quite simple because it ain’t one. The Tomahawk is still a bike but it seems to have four wheels under it. To carry this super heavy weight among the bikes that is pretty much a requirement. But that does not take away an iota of style or sheer intimidating appearance that the Tomahawk carries. This is pretty much the “Iron Mike’ among the bikes and is designed to deliver that early second round knock out. That does not mean that there is nothing pretty about this machine.

The Tomahawk is a Viper V-10 based motorcycle, a 500 horsepower engine with four wheels beneath it. Chrysler will be selling the original Tomahawk concept and nine replicas through Neiman Marcus, for up to $555,000 each. A Chrysler spokesman told Reuters they were meant as rolling sculptures. Rumors had the Tomahawk would be selling for under $200,000, most likely at a loss or break-even price, for publicity purposes - but still fully drivable. Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler’s not particularly respected first mate, was said to be enthusiastic about that project, so much so that hundreds were projected to be built at under $200,000 each. They reportedly cost Chrysler over $100,000 to build.

This super heavy weight is crafted to intimidate and destroy all competition. That does not mean that you can carry this on to the road as you would never be able to obtain a license for it. So they are nothing but rolling sculptures and that is a heavy price to pay for something that you can’t take out and flaunt. The bike, if needed to run, runs on 93 octane unleaded premium and has a 10-cylinder V-type engine. Reminds me so much of the days when I started to play ‘RoadRash’. Now this piece of automobile mastery is not for all and is not designed for daily use obviously. But if you want to just take a look at this super monster then you can visit the nearest auto show sporting it. With a top speed of well over 350 mph, this thing will blur everything around!
