Who says bigger and more powerful isn’t better? The same mantra is applied with Triumph’s update to the Thunderbird. The revised bike has a bigger bore, giving it 12 more horses and 9 more ft-lb of torque than its predecessor. Proudly displayed on the clutch cover is the ‘1700′ embellishment, for the 1700cc’s of pure awesomeness between your legs. And let the whole world know that you’re sporting the bigger-engined bike with the brand-new color, Phantom Haze Red. $14,800.

The latest from the world of designer motorcycle helmets comes from Paul Smith, with a stunning stylized Union Jack design wrapped around the helmet. The bad thing as is that this can’t be used as a Superbike since it’s for moped riding. If its from Paul Smith then it’s a nice buy! $220.

For inspiration, legendary bike builders Harley-Davidson looks at the past in releasing their newest bike for the new decade. The 2010 Sportster Forty-Eight is inspired by their 1948 motorcycle with its peanut-style fuel tank and the low, ’slammed’ look. The side mirrors are mounted below the handle bars while the low suspension gives the bike a meaner, lower stance. Powered by a 1200cc, air-cooled Evolution engine, speed and power are certainly guaranteed. $10,500+.

Very few people turn their dreams into reality. One such guy who had his concept materialize is Rafik Kaissi, a former barber who had so much passion for the arts and for building insane bikes. His RK Racer concept, for instance, would not exactly be the same as the ones you’ll find at your local dealership. Based on the Buell 1200, the bike has a racer stance with matching wheel sizes for the front and rear. The gas and oil tanks are made of glass so crashing this bike won’t be a good idea if in case it goes into full production. $TBA.

Tear up the asphalt in what’s touted as the fastest production street bike in existence today. The AsphaltFighters Stormbringer from Germany started out as a Japanese – a Kawasaki ZX-10R before tuning company Warm-Up gave it the works. After extensive modifications, the 1000cc bike churns out 220hp at the back wheel which can be upped by as much as 60 more horses with the boost at speeds over 112 mph. At just 430 lbs fuel-laden, the bike can propel you up from a standing start to 62 mph in just 2.9 seconds onwards to a top speed of more than 198 mph. The bike comes with a color-matching Held suit plus an X-Lite helmet. ~$86,000.

They see you rollin’, they won’t be hatin’. The Kikker 5150 Hardknock Frisco Bobber is an old-school bike, something that can proudly stand out among the multitude of mopeds and scooters that proliferate the modern market. It features a springer front suspension, forward controls, jockey shift, and hydraulic disc brakes. The fame is a TIG welded 4130 chrome moly frame and not a shred of plastic can be found on the bike. It’s all metal and all bad-ass, with engine choices from 49 to 200cc. Have it custom painted or in primer black – either way, it’s still a pocket bike to own. $1,500+.

Start off the new decade in the right way with one of these Norton Commando 961 motorcycles. These bikes will feature an air-cooled 961cc engine delivering 79 hp and 65 lb-ft of torque. Imagine starting off the new year riding this thing with the wind blowing through your hair. $TBA.
