When the temperature climbs, even the most dedicated rider may hesitate a moment before donning gloves. Without vents, leather and armor can turn gloves into a mobile sauna for your digits. Then there’s the indignity of sweating so much inside a pair of gloves that the dyes leech into your skin, leading to embarrassing questions.

FWIW This is disappointing on a number of levels. I like the machine when I tested it. If it hit production it would definitely be on my long list for urban bikes with price keeping it out of the short list; on the long list in last place. Reality v price is not the issue. We are talking about fantasy here. Meghan Trainor sings “I’m all about that bass 'Bout that bass, no treble”. The electric bass and treble on this bike is fine just taking moments to adjust to. Sound is not a problem for me or any of the others at the testing. I’m all about the range, bout that range, with no trouble and the LiveWire doesn’t have it.

I have used an acquaintances peanut tanked Sportster to commute on occasion. The bike is fun and has a bit over 100 mile in range hidden in the tank. I chide my friend H-D tank designers knew just how far I could ride a Sportster before needing a break. Obviously none of them were electrical engineers and worked on this project. I could ride the LiveWire for a day but the charge won’t last the morning. The claimed of 50 mile range is not enough. .Talking with grunts at the test while sneaking a peek at some of their data that claim is optimistic, perhaps as much as thirty percent optimistic. Even granting we were enthralled with what could be done with our right wrists while killing range at the same time, that does not give you coasting range to get one through the day.

This opens up space on my long list of dream bikes but puts H-D corporate on another list all together. Set aside any feelings you hold about H-D. They are a major player. If they could get it right and find a legitimate 100 mile range for the LiveWire they could make a tectonic shift in the market for electric motorcycles.

Come on H-D, part with some development money. I know you have dropped a bundle on V-4 engines that never saw the light of day and a V-Rod engine that wasn’t well received by your faithful, but you have a winner here that deserves to be on the street.

The Street’s reaction may be the push needed; instead of the killer for once.

The Slow Decline Of The Honda RC213V - The Lessons Of Stefan Bradl And Alvaro Bautistahttps://motomatters.com/analysis/2015/06/09/the_slow_decline_of_the_honda_rc213v_the.html
Last year, Marc Márquez won the first ten races of the season on his way to his second successive MotoGP championship. He ended the season with a grand total of thirteen wins, eventually tying up the title at Motegi, with three races still to go. He could have wrapped it up a race earlier, had he not crashed trying to keep pace with Valentino Rossi at Misano. Márquez and the Honda RC213V reigned supreme, clearly the best package on the grid. Eight months later, and Márquez trails the championship leader Rossi by 49 points, having won only one race, and taken one other podium finish at Jerez. M

No, really, it is (159PS). After all the hushed whispers of the RC213V-S’s MotoGP power levels, in stock form it’s got less horses than a ten year old Fireblade.

Taking Kids Racing, Part 3: Advice From Earl Haydenhttp://www.roadracingworld.com/news/taking-kids-racing-part-3-advice-from-earl-hayden/
"Most parents want to buy their kids' way down the straightaway and this and that. If I could go back I would probably add weight to their bikes to make them ride the corners and stuff better, because when they have to line up against Valentino Rossi they better know how to use the brakes and how to get through a corner."

What’s the first thing riders do when they walk into a dealership or a bike show? Swing a leg over the saddle, sit down, and reach for the handlebar. Then they usually issue an insightful pronouncement along the lines of “I’m in love,” “this sucks,” or something in between. In other words, they've done a complete road test in ten seconds!

BMW Group PressClub Canada /

FWIW

The internet has been full of BMW’s latest concept features. The K 1600 RSD bagger and Japanese naked bike concepts have people talking. These use that BMW platform as a base to launch a ride in a very different direction than traditional BMWs. We take sides as we discuss them on the forum or at the Official Fly-Over-Land Coffee Shop. We seem to break up into three camps. Some give them a ‘I like it’ thumbs up. Others dismiss them as derivative biker trash or dystopian freak machines. The final group try and discern what the concept bike means for the production line up. What curves and features can stay? Which must go to meet our BMW showroom floor expectations? Which are we willing to share the Roundel with on the road? In the process I am not certain we really understand what BMW is up to.

The marketing gang over at BMW Motorrad isn’t intending to show cookie cutter concepts appealing to a focus groups preconception of what a model in the BMW Motorrad lineup should look like. How is should be used. Who should buy them.

BMW’s marketing theme “Make life a ride” turns that approach on its head and issues some challenging questions in the process. We built the base platform. Here is what someone else did with the base motorcycle and turned it into something for their life ride. What would you do with it?
How would you build it to make it fun and meet your riding dreams?

Southsiders MC has been a source of interesting stories and pictures over the years. Now BMW has tapped them to do a concept based on the
R nineT. Their shop is closed until June 17. They are off again to Biarritz for this years Wheels and Waves event where the BMW Concept Path 22 will be featured.

GALLERY of all images included in the PressClub release.

When I finish my coffee, pick up my change and head out to bike I have the feeling we have become so orthodox we miss the point of concept motorcycles.

The RSD Concept 101 is not my style. Yet if a friend or BMW builds one I will happily throw a leg over it and take it for a ride.

BMW Motorrad Japan’s Straight Six projects are a bit too Mad Max distopian for my taste. I don’t want my motorcycle to remind me of what my wallet looks like.

Orlando Bloom came closer with his S1000R concept, but my wrists hurt when I look at it.

As I walk across the parking lot, put on my helmet and riding gloves I catch sight of my Roadster and feel a giggle welling up inside as I think of the Concept Path 22. The giggle is not a welling laugh at the offering. Though I can’t imagine riding any great distance with a surfboard strapped to the side of my bike, I like the Path 22.

The BMW R nineT is a platform I like. The Concept Path 22 takes that platform and combines it with some parts from various bins, a few bespoke parts all along with some special paint and detailing which results in an interesting ride. The end result is not the point for me as I catch sight of the Roadster. What flashes in my mind is a series of motorcycles that I have owned and customized for my use by going to various parts bins or making bespoke parts (until some company does it right) to bend them to how I make motorcycles part of my life.

The welling giggle is not aimed at the Path 22 but at me. It comes from the realization that the next year will be a great time. I know I will head to the parts bins once again to take the Roadster in another direction for this season. Will that result in keeping it even longer or launch me to the S 1000 XR that has me drooling?

I can feel the smile growing on my face. I giggle out loud as I press the start button. All those questions will be answered latter. I am fueled with coffee and rolls. The tank is full. I have an unexpected play day. Time to make life a ride.

Wheels and Waves...[shareing] a common passion for classic and custom motorcycles, the Southsiders bring their association out to light in 2008, when they decide to launch their blog.

This new platform gives them the opportunity to share eclectic content – pictures and articles about their preparations and the custom scene, but not only. The blog also documents their travels and the people they meet. They talk about all the things that inspire them: fashion, design and surfing.
Step by step, they introduce information about their annual gathering in Biarritz : a local and informal event at the time, which we know better today as Wheels and Waves.

From the early days, the number of followers grows quickly, and they see an array of members coming from all parts of the world asking for more. The public is in demand, they want to discover everything about this custom scene that is new and that is appealing : speed, style and freedom.
The Southsiders foresee a trend coming, but they stay true to their beliefs. Recognition is there, and the blog Southsiders becomes a true source of inspiration for many enthusiasts alike.
As they love the ocean, the crew also often gathers on the sunny Basque coast where they go surfing.

This leads them to choose Biarritz as a place, for a first gathering outside of their town of Toulouse. In June 2009, they organise a first official event in Biarritz, which sees about 20 participants coming along for two beautiful rides across the Basque country.
The event grows with the years, and becomes an international reference.
Without knowing it, WHEELS and WAVES was born.

The custom motorcycle sphere has now deeply nestled its values amongst today’s most affluent trends, and the Southsiders have certainly contributed to it.

The initial gathering has become a 4-day festival mixing art, music, surfing, and of course personalised dream machines.

Almost a year ago, the rumormill churned out that BMW is working on a quicker version of their i8 hybrid sports car. At the time, a few names were tossed around, including the “i8S” or “i9″. The new i car was rumored to be built for 2016, a celebratory year for BMW and one that’s expected to bring new exciting concepts to light. This last report comes from AutoExpress who says the revamped i8 would deliver 450 horsepower. To accomplish the task, BMW plans to swap the current 228 horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine with a more powerful 300 hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder. In the

‘82 BMW R100 – Blitz Motorcycles
It sounds like an outtake from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, or an idea for a Karate Kid road movie. It goes like this – you muster everything you’ve learnt to build your dream bike and enter it in one of the world’s biggest custom bike shows. Then you crash and destroy it after two weeks. You are injured, but you pick yourself up and completely rebuild the bike just in time to enter

According to the official RC213V-S website, the US bike makes just 101hp at 8,000rpm, and 66lb-ft at the same revs. That’s lower specs than France gets offered, thanks to its 102hp (100bhp) limit.And French riders can still get full power, and 13,000rpm potential, if they buy the ‘sports kit’.
