Victory has a history of building imaginative concept bikes (like this
Blade Runner-like creation that inspired the Vision), and the new CORE concept upholds that forward-thinking tradition. This performance cruiser concept combines unlikely elements like
pinstriping, carbon fiber and
mahogany, and its
sand cast aluminum frame is an elegant exercise in simplicity.
Take a look in the Victory CORE concept Photo Gallery, and comment on whether or not you'd want one of these bad boys in your garage.

I ogled the 2010 Honda Fury chopper in the flesh nearly a month ago, but mum was the word so I kept my mouth (and website) shut... until now, embargo lift time. How's it look in person? Well, suffice to say it's every inch a Honda: it pays homage to the chopper genre, but adds modern concessions like water-cooling (via a
radiator tidily tucked amidst the downtubes) and shaft drive. Fit and finish are impressive, and the
chromed 1,312 cc engine looks great with all that open air above it. Incidentally, the Fury boasts the longest wheelbase of any Honda motorcycle ever built.
Price is hasn't been released yet, but the bike should hit showrooms in March or April, so an MSRP can't be far off. I'll publish a Honda Fury review as soon as I can get my butt on one, but in the meantime take a look at this 2010 Honda Fury Photo Gallery.
Check back here today at 11:30 AM, PST for photos of Victory's wild CORE concept.

What's the best-selling sportbike in America? If you guessed the Suzuki GSX-R600, you're absolutely right. This mean middleweight weighs a mere 363 lbs dry, and boasts an engine that revs to an astronomical 16,000 rpm.
I tested this ubiquitous but capable motorcycle at the Auto Club Speedway and lived to tell; read all about it in my 2008 Suzuki GSX-R600 Review.
