DUCATI XDIAVEL S

THE VECTOR V40GT

The XDiavel represents a merger of two worlds: That of the cruiser for long, relaxing, low-speed journeys - and that of Ducati, where Italian style, technical sophistication, and exceptionally high performance rule above all else. Every detail adds strength to the character of the new Ducati XDiavel. Premium quality materials and refined finishing blend with toplevel technology in the S version to bring the most unique and unmatched design to life. Guarded at the heart of the motorcycle, the new 1,262cc Ducati Testastretta DVT 1262 engine with variable valve timing, 156hp and 96 lbs.ft of torque, is the undeniable centrepiece. Shiny and black with machined details in full view, ready to deliver terrific torque throughout the rev range. Starting from C$ 24,495

THE MODERN REBEL Admit it: Even if you don’t have a motorcycle license, you want one - right? And if you already have a bike, chances are you want more. That’s because there’s something fundamentally manly about a motorcycle: The simple purity of an engine strapped to two wheels. No gory pictures or horror stories of accidents will dissuade men from their testosterone- and adrenaline-fuelled dream. Unlike automobiles, motorcycles offer a visceral experience characterized by danger, speed, adventure, a singular focus, solitude, mechanics, noise, and physical skill. Forget that Starbucks in the cup holder. Forget fiddling with your phone. Your journey demands your senses every second - your life supported by two tiny patches of rubber connecting you to the road. It’s the unbridled power that captivated Steve McQueen and Marlon Brando. And now, that same power has been redesigned in an innovative new way.

MOTORELIC YAMAHA XV500 This Steampunk-inspired copper-coated custom is one beautiful beast. MotoRelic is a custom-bike builder from Virginia, who turned a a completely stock 1983 Yamaha Virago XV500 into the masterpiece you see here. And in case you’re wondering: The custom-built seat, with its beautiful distressed leather, also hides the 210cca battery and the fuse block. And the Velocity stacks? They run through the tank to the air filter. Genius. And now you want one? Well, give the guys at MotoRelic a call, and they’ll get you on your dream ride and off on your next adventure.
