I have been waiting all year for this replica helmet to be available. If you don’t recognize the face on the top, that is Valentino Rossi, MotoGP champion. The replica  helmet from AVG is based off their GP-Tech model and uses the same safety features as Rossis original, including the Kevlar shell. These are limited edition so get them before Rossi changes his helmet. More photos!

This concept was introduced at the EICMA Show in Milan. The minimalist design features; boxer engine, twin wavy disc brakes, two projector-style headlamps, and single-sided swingarm. I think the LO Rider would be an awesome addition to BMW’s (lack of) cruiser line. Photo Gallery.

Over thirty years ago the US Air Force developed the “Warthog” A-10, which has saved many lives by providing ground troops with massive firepower. Now its Icon’s turn to support the ground troops with their version of “Superior Firepower”. Based off a 2004 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, ICON’s Warthog features a (non-working) Gatling gun, DOMAIN 2 Warthog graphics, 800 watt MTX audio system, 8″ LCD screen, and rear view camera. Even the engine got Warthog treatment. This bike was dyno’d at 188 RWHP (take that busa fanboys)! See the music video and image gallery.

The KNIGHT XV from Conquest Vehicles Inc. is a luxury make of one of the toughest military vehicles on the planet. Starting out as a Armet GURKHA (super duty specially modified Ford chassis), Conquest had to replace the turret, the wheels (run-flat 40in tires with 20in rims), and they filled up the interior with more than you could imagine. Since I don’t like leaving much to the imagination here is a list of some of the features:

• Wilton Wool luxury carpeting
• Andrew Muirhead luxury leather
• Spacious extended interior
• Leather 6 way electric conference seating
• Tandem sunroof glass with privacy shades
• Personal side mounted lap top stations
• LED cabin lighting
• Alpine AM,FM,CD,DVD Navigation and Bluetooth equipment
• TV monitors
• Night vision PathfindIR Thermal imaging Camera (front and back) with rear op camera system
• Play station 3 (PS3) gaming console

The KNIGHT XV is powered by a 6.8L V10 gas power plant with E-85 Ethanol Conversion system (400 HP and torque 498 ft lbs).Conquest will initially only build 100 of these trucks. It takes them approximately 1,500 hours to hand build each one, but they sell for $295,000 USD.
