And yes it is made ...

VW has surprised the Shanghai car show by revealing an electric scooter. And if this is the first fruit of the VW-Suzuki partnership (the German firm own a fifth of the GSX-R maker) we can’t wait for what’s coming next – specifically a few beers, a movie and bed.

Motus MST-01: is direct injection the next big thing?

Guy Procter, 16 March 2011 16:54

Motus is keen to make hay from its head-start on gasoline direct injection (GDI), which features on their new MST-01 sports tourer, the first time the technology has been seen on a four-stroke bike.

Guy Procter, 08 June 2010 17:02

MotoCzysz may have annihilated the TT Zero competition in practice on Monday, but it’s still fighting it out with fifties machinery in combustion-engine terms. In a single-lap sprint round the 37.73 mile course it would be a close-fought battle between the 1956 Senior-winning John Surtees on the 500cc MV Agusta and 2010’s Mark Miller on the MotoCzysz E1pc.
