Hi guys, Paul here. I just wanted to show you a quick preview of our new IPM Girl of the Month Angelica.

She will be one of the thirteen girls we feature in our next issue of Inline Performance Magazine scheduled to come out early 2011. That’s one for each month and one IPM Girl of the Year.

In the meantime, you can check out our IPM Girl section or log on to IPM Girls to see more of Angelica.

Sorry for the quick video shots. I didn’t want to seem like too much of a pervert…

    What’s up people? Looks like they are discontinuing my bike. Italian off-road manufacturer Husqvarna has two new models for 2010. The enduro-styled TE630 and the SMS630 supermoto to replace the out-going TE610 and SM610ie.

    As well as restyled bodywork, both machines receive an updated engine featuring a twin-cam head (replacing the single cam head on the 610), a capacity hike from 576cc to 600cc, twin exhausts, a hydraulic clutch and more power.

    For a company famed for producing fiery competition supermotos, MX and enduro bikes, the new TE630 and SM630 are designed with more general road use in mind.

      What’s up guys? A German magazine Das Motorrad has leaked photos of KTM’s new offerings last week: the KTM FREERIDE electric motorcycles.

      The price translates to around $13,500, considerably more expensive than the Zero X, which retails for $7,495.

      The KTMs produce 30bhp and 33lb/ft of torque and use a 2.5kWh lithium-ion battery pack. They weigh in at 90kg (198.4lbs) and the range is approximately 1.5-hours.

      While the battery pack carries 0.5kWh more capacity than the Zero, the rest of the specifications don’t match up. The Zero produces 50lb/ft of torque and 23bhp, while weighing in at just 73kg (161lbs).

      While the enduro and supermoto appear to share identical frames and powertrains, they do differ in components, with the supermoto running a bicycle-style threadless headset front end and dinky projector headlamp in place of the enduro’s conventional setup. One part that does look seriously nice is the supermoto’s sculpted swingarm.

      Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out KTM Boards for more information.

        2010 Triumph Sprint ST Spy Shot

        Hey guys, it looks like an eagle-eyed rider across the pond spotted the all new Triumph Sprint ST last week. Here is a pretty grainy picture.

        2011_Triumph_Sprint_ST

        The Sprint has remained largely unchanged since it was launched in 2004 and the biggest differences with the new bike look to be the removal of the underseat exhausts in favor of a substantial triangular-shaped end can.

        This frees up space at the back of the bike and cures one of the biggest problems with the current Sprint ST: too much heat getting through to the riders’ crotch area.

        Despite the Sprint ST getting a major overhaul for 2010, the rider who spotted the new bike claims that the bike is still clearly identifiable as a Sprint ST. The familiar front lights remain almost unchanged although they are thinner in profile.

        There have also been rumors that the ST’s engine would be bored out to 1200cc motor. No such luck, as the Triumph test bike is registered as a 1050cc. It’s also chain driven, despite persistent rumors that the new bike would be changing to shaft drive.

        Triumph has refused to comment on the bike.

          Hi guys! Paul here again. These are the first photos of the 185rwhp Buell 1190RR, snapped just before it was boxed up and sent to a customer in Germany.

          The 1190RR was rumored to be a street-legal superbike that was nearly ready to go on sale when Harley killed Buell. Erik Buell Racing is now making these exclusively for superbike racing. Check out the dyno chart below.

          This chart compares the 1190RR to the Buell 1125RR.
