WOW, a full listing of new Motorcycles...

I discovered this site by accident.  It is an encyclopedia of motorcycles,

http://www.bikez.com/year/2011-motorcycle-models.php

Did you know about the Acabion DaVinca eletric bike?  It is very swoopy.  How about a Pulsar?  Ever hear of Aspes Bikes?  Maybe a Cosmos with a 350 ZZ4 crate V8 in it, and 4 wheels?

Of course everyone has heard of Derbi bikes, but how about an E-Tropolis Future?  Sounds grand, but just a little scooter.

Then there's Highland:  The caption says, "Made in the USA. The Powerplant. So powerful Nuclear Scientists stand in awe."  Yikes, how can I not want one?  Apparently they moved from Sweden and and opened a new Oklahoma factory on June 1, 2010 to produce singles and V-twins for street, trail and racing.  They have modern looking engines and interesting designs.  And then I read this July 12 article:  "Chase Bales, Damian Riddoch, and Mats Malmberg were all killed Saturday night when the plane, piloted by Chase Bales crashed in a wooded area."  These are the principles of the new company US Highland.  See http://www.ushighland.com/ The company hired an operating team to find new funding, but it looks like they ceased production in January. Sad.
