Motorcycle Trend Renard GT




Equipped with a kevlar-reinforced carbon fiber monocoque chassis that incorporates the airbox and fuel tank, the Renard GT is exceptionally strong and at just 190kg/419lbs (dry), pretty light too. But, rather than equip this futuristic platform with an equally high-tech engine, Renard chose to squeeze an air-cooled Guzzi v-twin into all that carbon. The result is a motorcycle that should be exceptionally good. At cruising.

Other fancy components include components milled from aircraft-grade aluminum billet and a carbon fiber girder fork that’s adjustable for rake and trail as well as the usual preload, compression and rebound damping.

2010 Triumph Tiger SE Pictures and Specifications



SE. Special Edition. A Tiger, but more. An even more practical version of the ultimate versatile machine.

Taking the standard Tiger 1050 as its base, the SE adds an exclusive color scheme and a higher specification that includes our sophisticated ABS system as standard, color matched hardbags and handguards.

Usability has always been a byword for the Tiger. The torquey 1050cc three cylinder engine delivers an infectious sound and feel, boasting the performance specification of a sport bike: braced swingarm, fully adjustable, upside-down forks, remote spring preload and adjustable rear monoshock, twin floating front discs with four piston radial calipers and 17-inch wheels with 120/180 profile sports tires.

The tall riding position gives a commanding view over traffic, making passing through rush hour traffic easy. Hit the highway and you will revel in the muscular 1050cc triple which, combined with powerful brakes and a high-specification sporty chassis, make carving through the twisties a real pleasure. For the long haul, the ergonomically designed seat with screen and fairing ensures a comfortable ride regardless of distance.

The result is a motorcycle with an unparalleled dexterous ability, capable of commuting, carving and touring in equal quantities.

The Tiger SE. Ready for anything.
MSRP: $13,399
