TRUE SPIRIT.

2018 Kawasaki Z900RS SE Review on Total Motorcycle:


Introducing Kawasaki’s long-awaited retro sport model. Conceived in homage to the legendary Z1, the newest Z is a synthesis of the traditional and the modern. An engine with a traditional In-Line Four configuration is backed by Kawasaki’s latest rider support technology. For riders searching for a bike with character and a rich history, the Z900RS offers both in abundance, while providing an opportunity to slow down, look around and enjoy the simple things that life can bring.

There’s no place for fake in the lifestyle you choose. Kawasaki alone has the heritage to deliver yesterday’s values to today’s riders in a truly authentic Modern Classic bike. The visceral spirit of a 1970s legend – Kawasaki’s original king of cool Z1 – finds expression in the Z900RS, to satisfy the very essence of the rider you are now.

THE THIRD GENERATION TO CELEBRATE THE FIFTY YEAR ANNIVERSARY...

To celebrate the fifty year anniversary of the first model, Moto Guzzi introduces the V7 III. The third generation of the Moto Guzzi that is known and loved all over the world has been completely revamped: every detail has been fine-tuned to maximise owner satisfaction and riding pleasure, leaving the originality and authenticity typical of this iconic motorcycle unaltered.

V7 is one of the most celebrated and well-known Moto Guzzi models. This world fame is due to its ability to remain faithful to the expectations and reputation of a legendary brand like Moto Guzzi. Since 1967, the year the first units were sold in Italy, the V7 became a pillar of the product range and the representative of the Italian motorcycle par excellence, standing out for its content and design, highly popular with a truly transversal and varied public.

Fifty years later, Moto Guzzi introduces the third act of a first work: V7 III. The challenge of introducing a new version of such a famous motorcycle with such a rich heritage and so much success is one of the most difficult, considering the fact that the V7, the brand's best-seller since 2009, constitutes the Moto Guzzi entry-level bike, dedicated to both women and men, in addition to young people who want to proudly own one of the most iconic Mandello del Lario production motorcycles.

As was the case with the V7 II compared with the first-born V7, for the V7 III the revamping is profound enough to merit a new progressive number in Roman numerals, that has always distinguished the most popular and long-lasting Moto Guzzi bikes, such as the Le Mans and the California. V7 III is the result of Moto Guzzi's modern passion and courage, able and skilled in renewing its best-seller, leaving the character and authenticity unaltered, two values that are destined to weather the test of time.

SIMPLY STUNNING.

2018 Ducati 1299 Panigale R Final Edition REVIEW BY TOTAL MOTORCYCLE


With the 1299 Panigale R Final Edition, Ducati pays tribute to the twin-cylinder engine that has made Superbike World Championship history. From Marco Lucchinelli’s first victory on 3rd April 1988 with the 851 (in the first-ever world championship for modified production models) to the stunning 2017 wins by Chaz Davies and Marco Melandri on the Panigale R, the Bologna-built twin-cylinder has long been a winner in SBK. Desmoquattro, Testastretta, Superquadro: over three decades, the Ducati-designed twin-cylinder 4-valve engine with Desmodromic timing has gone from strength to strength, powering bikes that have made Supersport history. Motorcycles that have won no less than 330 World Superbike Championship races. From the 851 to the Panigale R – and the 888, 916, 996, 998, 999, 1098, 1198 and 1199 in between them – the Bologna-built twin has always been as successful on the track as it has on the supersport market. Now, the 1299 Panigale R Final Edition pays homage to the great Ducati superbike tradition by combining best-ever twin-cylinder engine performance with a racing-derived chassis set-up.

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.

2018 Ducati Panigale V4 REVIEW BY TOTAL MOTORCYCLE

A bike that begins an exciting new chapter in the Ducati story, a new “symphony” of all-Italian performance and emotion. The Panigale V4 is the first mass-produced Ducati bike to mount a four-cylinder engine, derived directly from the MotoGP Desmosedici. It’s a concentrate of Ducati technology, style and performance. With an engine displacement of 1,103 cm3, 214 hp and a power/weight ratio of 1.1 hp/kg, this bike sets a new standard in the supersport production bike segment.

The Panigale V4 replaces the iconic 1299 at the top of the Ducati supersport range, doing so by enhancing performance and ridability so that riders of all skill levels can enjoy boundless fun and excitement. The Panigale V4 has been developed in close collaboration with Ducati Corse, drawing directly on know-how and technology from the racing world to provide a road bike that is the closest thing possible to its MotoGP counterpart.

1. Kawasaki z900rs
2. Moto guzzi v7 special
3. bmw s1000rr
The Kawasaki fast but retro looking. Moto guzzi love that it is unique. bmw who would not want one of the fastest sportbikes with heated grips.
I guess once you vote you can not change your mind? I originally went with the z900rs, wing, and gsxr so that is what my vote counts for. Its so hard to choose for a motorcycle addict.

Previously voted, but did not make a comment. 2017 seemed like an OK year for bikes. 2018 is already off to a fantastic start with the new Goldwing. Hopefully there will be may others to follow. Wishing all safe travels... keep the rubber side down.

7th Annual, TOP 10 BIKES OF 2017 - Readers Choice Awards
Featured: December 22nd, 2017 - January 5th, 2018

And now, the TOP 3 COOLEST BIKES OF 2017 - READER'S CHOICE AWARDS, AS VOTED BY YOU:

#1: 2018 Kawasaki Z900RS SE
#2: 2018 Honda Gold Wing Tour Automatic DCT
#3 TIE: 2017 Moto Guzzi V7 III Special
#3 TIE: 2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber


and the runner ups:

#5: 2017 Ural Ambassador
#6 TIE: 2018 Kawasaki Z900
#6 TIE: 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000R
#8: 2018 Ducati 1299 Panigale R Final Edition
#9: 2018 2017 BMW S1000RR
#10 (out of 50 bikes): Ducati Panigale V4



Total Motorcycle's Take-a-Way: What a great two weeks of voting over the holidays. With over 50 bikes to vote from in 2017 it wasn't easy to see who the winner would be at the end of the year! Did anyone guess Kawasaki would smash it out of the park in the 9th inning with the surprise release of the Z900RS? What an amazing bike, just wow. How about that 2018 Honda Gold Wing Tour coming in at #2? Amazing; honestly, I didn't ever expect to see a Gold Wing in the Top 3 list! Way to go Honda. And the tie for 3rd place went to two really awesome retro motorcycles, 2017 Moto Guzzi V7 III Special and the 2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber, you couldn't go wrong owning either, both are chock full of character, style and class!

Our runners up proved to be quiet and interesting mix. It is the first year (in 7) that we didn't have a cruiser finish in our top 10 and it wasn't like I didn't have cruisers up over the year. A few years ago I started to see the down-trend in cruisers, maybe we will see a cruiser resurgence again in the near future. Lots of sport and sportbikes in our runners up, the surprise for me was the #10 (out of 50 bikes): Ducati Panigale V4... I really thought that might have challenged first place from the media/rider hype on its launch, goes to show, hype is fickle.

Thanks again for everyone who voted (and will still vote) on the Cool wall and for supporting it. It's fun, let's keep it growing. - Mike

Stripping the Bonneville T120 back to its purest essence it delivers all the hallmarks of a real bobber, with clean lines and low stance, single seat, wide flat bars, minimal bodywork and headlight, sculpted tank, wire spoked wheels with wide rear wheel and that all-important hard tail look.
