BIKER UNITY

Triumph launched its awesome Rocket III Roadster to the world's motorcycle press at The EICMA show in Milan this week. Based on the high successful Rocket III the Roadster, this bike moves away from the Cruiser stance to one of Streetfighter.

It features a sophisticated ABS system, new blacked out styling and revised ergonomics. New exhaust systems creating an improved acoustic experience and even more power and torque, a mighty 224Nm, more than any other volume production motorcycle.

Ride safe.

Austrian motorcycle manufacturer launched a number of new models at this weeks EICMA show including the KTM 350 SX-F Factory Racing. A pre-series racing bike which should be ready to race for 2010. KTM is the first manufacturer in the world to present a 350cc displacement bike for Motocross sport.

In addition they unveiled the new Duke 690 R with a full 70 BHP in a bike that only weighs 148 kg.



Last but not least the KTM 125, with KTM striving to broaden it's appeal with a younger market. With WP suspension, Brembo brakes, the distinctive KTM styling this 15 BHP 125cc bike will doubtless be a hit!

Ride safe.
