New Shoei RF-1100 Helmet Shoei pulls out all the stops for its latest generation lid. The mid-line RF-1000 model has been Shoei's best-selling helmet since its inception back in '03, and for good reason. When you combine excellent function with superb quality at a reasonable price, the customers will follow. So it was logical to expect that the RF-1000's successor would be a sensible evolution of its solid and refined design. Why mess with success?

Electric and Hybrid Motorcycles - Going Green Your Bike Could Someday Run On Beer! Lately there's been quite a stir about electric bikes in the media. Several small-scale manufacturers are offering on- and off-road production models for sale. The Isle of Man hosted the TTXGP, a one-lap race for electric and hybrid motorcycles.

Not only are they less expensive than the larger displacement bikes, they are also cheaper to insure, maintain and even though they don't have the same horsepower or torque as the 750cc or 1000cc bikes, they are plenty fast. During the '90s, the 600s were cranking out 85-90 horsepower and running very low 11-second quarter mile times.
