Moto Guzzi
Seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten in Produktion und immer weiter verfeinert präsentiert sich
die 97er Ausgabe der Moto Guzzi California 1100i. Herzstück ist wie bei allen Motorrädern
aus dem Hause Moto Guzzi ein luftgekühlter V-2-Zylinder mit 90° Zylinderwinkel, der bei
der klassischen California 1100i 1064 cm³ groß ist und 75 PS leistet. Zum souveränen
Auftritt der bildschönen California paßt vor allem das bullige Drehmoment von 91 Nm, das
bereits bei 5000 U/min anliegt. Damit steht der 251 Kilogramm schweren Maschine Kraft aus
dem Drehzahlkeller in Hülle und Fülle zur Verfügung. Obwohl die California 1100i bis zu
200 km/h schnell sein kann, animiert die entspannte und bequeme Sitzposition jedoch eher
zu einem ruhigen Fahrstil. Einem solchen Motorrad entsprechend wurde eine Bremsanlage
installiert, die mit drei schwimmend gelagerten Scheibenbremsen arbeitet, von denen vorne
zwei mit 300 und hinten eine mit 270 mm Durchmesser installiert sind. Die für
Langstrecken konstruierte Sitzbank ist für Fahrer und Sozius separat ausgeformt und trägt
zu einem Komforterlebnis bei, das nur bei Moto Guzzi zu finden ist. Die große, klassische
Guzzi California ist
in der '97er Ausführung für 20.800 Mark zu haben.

BMW
Go with your gut. Listen to your heart. Then, read
what the experts are saying about the motorcycle you know you want. Call it strength in
numbers. Call it a second, third or fourth opinion. As you consider owning a BMW
motorcycle, read what some critics have to say.

Harley Davidson
(1901) In Milwaukee, William Harley, 21, and Arthur Davidson, 20, began
experiments on "taking the work out of bicycling." They were soon joined by
Arthur's brothers, Walter and William.
(1903) Many changes were made to the engine design before its builders were satisfied.
After the new looped frame was finalized, they were ready to begin production. 1903
production: 3 motorcycles. (1906-1907) Harley-Davidson erected its first building at the
current Juneau Avenue site in 1906 and they incorporated in 1907. 1907 production: 150
motorcycles.

Ducati
Great motorcycle design is never superficial; it is a glimpse into
the very soul of the machine. The Ducati 916 is not just a beautiful bike; its
aerodynamic shape, trademark head lamps and distinctive tail - all widely copied by the
motorcycle industry - provide critical elements of function. Similarly, a corporate logo
is much more than a mere "style" - it is a means by which Ducati communicates
its message to the world. As one of motorcycling's great historic marques, Ducati deserves
a consistent corporate identity that delivers the visual punch of a champion.

Buell
The all-new Buell S1 Lightning made its debut in
1996 and immediately turned heads. One of those who took notice was Brent Plummer,
editor-in-chief of Motorcycle Online. Plummer partnered with Graves Motorsports on a
project to see if and how the new Buell would fare in tough NASB competition. Modifying
the S1 Lightning for the Sportbike Challenge's 102 hp class was, at the time,
unprecedented. The sportbike classes have been dominated by Japanese bikes. The Buell
performed well, particularly due to its edge in torque. But, typical of any rookie, the
demands of top-caliber racing took their toll. By the end of the nine-race season, it was
clear that, even though there was still a ways to go to reach championship form, the Buell
has what it takes to be competitive. For 1997, Motorcycle Online is working with Team
Corbin and their lead rider, Shawn Higbee. As the Team Corbin/Motorcycle Online Buell S1
Lightning gears up for the season, Brent Plummer gives us a look behind the scenes at how
they took to the track for their first season.
