Jason Britton's Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14

Stunt rider and TV personality Jason Britton likes his bikes wild, so Custom Sportbike Concepts tricked out this ZX-14 with an extra dose of attitude. Its sea green and silver color palette may look sedate, but that's countered with a custom, single-sided swingarm, …hlins suspension and a navigation system that features a rearview camera—perfect for stargazing while you pop a stoppie.

2009 Honda DN-01

File Honda's latest bike in the "question mark" bin. Honda's DN-01 looks like a stretched-out cruiser heavily influenced by the popularity of scooters. It combines a surprisingly upright seating position with a pair of accommodating floorboards. Most curious (or convenient, depending on your take), is its "Human-Friendly" transmission that's mated to a 680cc V-twin: The gearbox is a fully automatic unit that can also be shifted using a push button on the left grip.

Suzuki Burgman 400 Sport Concept

This slammed concept looks like the love child of a "Gixxer" sportbike and scooter. The offspring of Suzuki's product planning department, this 400 Sport Concept wears B-King handlebars, a GSX-R600 exhaust and a whole lot of street-smart styling cues. Though Suzuki has no immediate plans to produce this curious hybrid, we're hoping they seriously consider giving it a go.

2009 Ducati Streetfighter

This 170-hp beast is essentially a naked version of the potent 1098 superbike, with an eight-level adjustable traction control system offering a safety net for speed nuts. With its chiseled carbon-fiber bits and completely exposed trellis frame, the Streetfighter offers a degree of hard-core hooliganism that Ducati's Monster just can't touch.

Aprilia Shiver SL 750

Think of the Aprilia Shiver as a 7/8th scale Touno—Aprilia’s original naked standard bike. It’s the perfect city bike, and if you get it with the gold-covered handlebars, trellis frame and brakes, well, you may just find your inner Elvis. The 90-degree V twin gives a generous 95 hp, and its sculpted, sporty tank, seat and tail unit emphasize its peanut-sized dimensions. The engine and frame sweetly merge with the overall design, and the under-seat exhaust system follows the bike’s aggressive lines.

Star V-Max

The brand-new Star V-Max cruiser delivers a mule-kick performance from its all-new 65-degree, four-valves-per-cylinder, 1679cc V4 powerplant. The V-Max is one of the baddest bikes on the market this year. Its luminescent multi-function display is techy-cool and its combo of black and gray paint lends it a particularly angry, menacing street look.

Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra

Purists say a bike with three wheels just isn’t a bike. Well even the hardcore amongst us might make an exception for the Tri Glide Ultra. Inspired by the Servi-car models built from 1932 to 1973, this 2009 model is decidedly a softer ride than its predecessor, and comes with a lot of cool retro accessories. Harley says it also gets great mileage (appx. 46 mpg), especially given its whopping 1174-pound weight.

The Scarface Special

Every bike show has a few wacky customs, but this tricked-out 2006 Suzuki Hayabusa, owned by Steve LeBron and customized by Dennis Vasquez, is a particularly well-done tribute to Tony Manero of “Scarface.” It’s got a (fake) .32 pistol and bullets mounted under fiberglass in the gas tank. There’s a protruding arm holding a (fake) gun that shoots nitrous oxide jutting from its right front cladding. Oh and don’t forget about the machine-gun cylinder in the rear that spins when the bike’s in motion.

Vectrix VX-1

This good-looking all-electric scooter is motorcycle-sized and motorcycle-heavy at 515 pounds, with a 60-inch wheelbase and 30-inch seat height. The VX-1 is highway legal, though you won’t be passing any Vettes or Vipers—the top speed is just 62-mph. Still, it can accelerate to that speed in 7.5 seconds. And that’s not too shabby. Though it’s rather large—similar in size to the Suzuki Burgman—Vectrix plans include a lower, narrower seat for smaller riders.

Can-Am Spyder

Though this trike is officially classified as a motorcycle, it's really a combination of bike, ATV and snowmobile—with all the fun of those rides and far less physical peril. You see, since it’s a trike, the rider doesn’t have to balance, like one does on a two-wheeler. It’s powered by an 1125-cc, Rotax V-Twin dual overhead cam engine making 107 hp and 77 lb.-ft. of torque. For 2009, the Spyder SE5 model features a new automatic gearbox, too.

Victory Street Vision Anniversary

The Street Vision is, plainly speaking, an enormous bike. Even the front foot rests look as though they could accommodate Shaq’s sneakers with room to spare. With its predatory triangular face, ant-segment-like gas tank and 106-cubic-inch Freedom V-twin coupled with a skinny seat, this bike announces your presence on the road like few others. They’re rare, too; Victory’s only turning out 100 of these anniversary machines.

2009 Honda Fury

The Fury is a gorgeous, sporty offering from the normally meat-and-potatoes Honda. This bike resembles a customized chopper, but, in this case, Honda’s mass production and warranty covers stuff that Joe’s Custom Bike Shop might not be able to, or want to handle as the miles roll on. Its 1312 cc, liquid-cooled 52 degree V-twin make it a fiery ride, and a wide 200-series rear tire is coupled with a skinny 21-inch front wheel—for that all-important custom stance.

Ducati Street Fighter and Street Fighter S

Unlike the other bikes Ducati has been making for years, this Italian motorcycle manufacturer is now producing some rides that don’t require a spine of steel and titanium wrists to enjoy. And that’s largely because most of their buyers are, yes, getting older and don’t go for hardcore street bikes like they did when they were a bit more spry. To that end, the mighty Streetfighter and Streetfighter S position the rider upright. And these bikes are feather-light at 370 or so pounds. This pair also feature “DTC”---Ducati Traction Control---the better to keep you perpendicular
