We live in the age when cars are getting smaller and smaller, to the point of becoming three wheeled vehicles. If the four-wheeler segment is undergoing dramatic changes in product production, so is the two-wheeler part of automobile industry too.
Mileage, looks, power, or whatever you call, a great amount of research is happening on the motorcycles and scooters front. How would you react then, to a motorcycle that defies the notion of two wheels and metamorphosizes into a four-wheeled rarity your eyes may not quite be used to?
Would you call it a motorcycle? Technically motorcycles are supposed to have just two wheels. Cars are supposed to have four. The 2010 Cosmos 4RW V8 Muscle Bike is at times bizarre looking and at other times looks like a fusion of some kind. It stretches out longer than a normal motorcycle does, it has a 350 cubic inch engine, which also has 350 horsepower. And has, four wheels. Four big wheels with two in the front, two in the back, except that the pairs look stuck together.
You may be able to ride it only if you are big in size. The advantage is that two big wheels will not let you fall for lack of balance. The wheels measure 17-inches. And the price is: $93,200.

The world of trailblazing is quite thrilled at the joining of a new member that goes by the name of Lauge Jensen. No, this isn’t a person but a very stylish and powerful motorcycle that will set your heart racing. Made in Denmark, this ‘bad’ roadtser is based on the classic American twin-injection and if available in four colors in the market. And that really is just the tip of the iceberg. A 1.8 liter engine is able to gice 70cv to 4300 rpm along with a torque of 120Nm at 3100 rpm with the approved Euro 3 certification.
Weighing a huge 300 kilograms, this monster of the roads is capable of achieving a top speed of 180 km/hr with the aid of a very smart 5-speed gearbox. The rear tire measures 25mm and has been mounted on 18-inch wheels. The bike gets its power from a three disk brake system that offers adequate safety.

The Ferrari never really does conjure the image of a stylish chopper mobike in our minds. It is always the famous Italian supercar that is known to have torn up the racetrack for so many years now. So, neither you nor we can be blamed. Because one very enterprising and, might we add, daring motorcycle bulder has devised a contradiction of his own. And he likes to call it the Ferrari Chopper.
The picture above showcases the machine in reference in its mechanical splendor. We are told that only two such bikes have been made. One has been powered by an inline-triple from Triumph. On the other hand, the second one makes use of an inline-four that has been yanked from a Yamaha R1.

The search could have just ended for you. We have just discovered the ultimate toy for some thrilling times. Lazareth Wazuma Bio V12 could well be the last word in the oh-so-important power-to-weight ratio. This one has been created in France by Lazareth Motorcycles.
We are told that the Wazuma has taken a lot from BMW V12 and so can easily go ahead and flaunt a 500 horsepower that fits in too well with the quad-bike frame. In fact, this vehicle has to be thought of as two monster motorcycles put together. Running on E85 ethanol, you will not have any environment issues too while giving you power boosts. Again, it isn’t a hybrid and there isn’t a single lithium-ion battery here.

Mobike freaks would be ecstatic to know that we have some news from Harley-Davidson. The brand has decided to revise the line up of its 2010 designs. As per the company’s rep, the nine models that have been included in the current year’s catalog are reflective of the largest introduction ever made in the 106 year-old history of the makers. And that is the reason why they have decided to make fewer platforms in the next year.
But that doesn’t mean you do not have anything to look forward to. There is the CVO Fat Bob that Harley Davidson’s Custom Vehicle Operations group can’t stop talking about. Again, the CVO Softail Convertible, CVO Street Glide and CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide are also being celebrated as technology and style to watch out for!

The conventional two-wheelers and four-wheelers are passe now. Folks are more keen to find some vehicle that isn’t ordinary like the three-wheeler from Lehman Trikes. They call it CrossBow and we call its smart innovation. For starters, it comes equipped with the Victory Vision 106 cu. in. Freedom V-Twin engine. And the high power of this beauty gets a cushion in the form of the genuine Lehman ‘No Lean’ suspension. The two work together to give you a thrilling ride that is high on speed and low on the bumps.
The makers talked of the trike at the Annual Vitory Dealer Meeting in Wyoming recently. We are told that the base model for this three wheeler comes for $34,000 and you will not be able to own this one unil the end of 2009, which is when it will officially hit the markets.

Top fashion houses like Chanel find unique ways to make their presence felt. Just a few months ago, the brand gave us an ultra-fashionable concept car and now there is another one for the road. A custom mobike has been commissioned for a special photo shoot at the Rue Royale Boutique in Paris. Participating in this event were the kingpin of the label Karl Lagerfeld and the very sexy models Lara Stone and Baptiste Giacobini.
We are told that the bike is reminiscent of the one that legend Marlon Brnado drove in The Wild One. And it was custom made in Tolouse, France as per the instructions given by Lagerfield who is already a big name because of his wacky creative ideas.

Sometimes all you would want is something to make your room smell good. Though your room is sparkling clean, if it does not have the necessary amount of ventilation it can start smelling musty. We have been using boring humidifiers and fragrances to help control the humidity and dryness and also add some fragrance.
However, most look too boring and bland and that is when you would need to take a look at the USB Aroma Humidifier. It comes in the shape of a helmet and I am sure you would love to get one for yourself. I would be great if you are a motorcycle fan as it is designed like a motorcycle helmet.

If you ever wanted to buy a small but a fast car, then maybe you should take a look at the “Tango”, the world’s fastest urban car. It’s ultra narrow and can fit in anywhere. So, space is not a problem for you to park the Tango. If you go by its size you might perhaps be disappointed and might underestimate its performance.
Tango is the perfect combination of the speed and agility of a motorcycle with the security and comfort of a high-performance sports car. The best advantage of Tango is, you can easily beat the traffic woes by changing lanes comfortably while you are stuck in a busy traffic. Although it is small, it can securely carry a reasonable amount of cargo. Besides, unlike motorcycle, it is safe, dry, and climate controlled as well.
Another plus point is that in extremely heavy traffic, Tango can travel in 20 seconds the distance that cars travel in 20 minutes. It can fit in a 6-foot half-lane. Tango can accelerate from zero to over 130 mph in one gear. It can also accelerate from zero to 60 mph in about four seconds and touches the standing 1/4 mile in about 12 seconds at over 100 mph. Now this sounds quite unbelievable but nevertheless, it’s true!
