French designer Bako claims the futuristic sports bike design of the E-TX Urban will have a maximum top speed of 240 km or 149.14 mph produced through the Roadson Etronic 16 generator.  My thoughts are that the E-TX Urban Electric Concept Sportbike design seems to be inspired by BMW bikes in part.  The length of the bike is 2040 mm or 80.3 inches with a designed seat height 760 mm or 29.9 which is about the same as a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic touring motorcycle.  This will become very interesting when KTM develops a sports motorcycle to the next level since they debuted the KTM Freeride zero emissions at the Tokyo International Motorcycle Show March 26.

“As an innovative and market leading company, KTM must also take up the task of testing out and developing new engine formats for our sports motorcycles. The concept of the zero emission motorcycle combines the well known KTM competence with new and highly interesting motor technology. With an emission free motorcycle we see a big opportunity to make Enduro sport available to a broader and completely new target group in the medium and long term by giving them access to a completely new sporting trend. The KTM Zero Emission Motorcycle will allow for riding in more areas, even densely populated areas, without coming into conflict with existing restrictions. Testing with the first prototype already reveals the big potential of this cooperative development project with arsenal research.” DI Harald Plöckinger, KTM Power Sports AG

With “Freeride” KTM will introduce to the world two new series prototypes at the 2010 Tokyo Motorcycle Show.  They will unveil their Ready To Race Battery Electric Motor (BEM) motorcycles and within the year will have these leading-edge motorcycles riding away into the 21st century.  As the world’s leading producer of off road motorcycles, KTM and its motorcycles engineering team clearly illustrate that you can have fun while riding and have environmental sustainability combined all on one motorcycle with the latest development of their zero emission motorcycle.

This light, sporty and powerful zero emission motorcycle complies with the KTM sport-oriented, racing philosophy while ensuring a zero emission and practically noise free bike with its Battery Electric Motor (BEM).  Development of the highly integrated Battery Electric Motor (BEM) was made possible through the expertise of KTM’s consulting research engineers at Arsenal.  The bike was built due to the facts that KTM is the innovative leader in the off-road motorcycle industry all the while finding solutions that align the core business of KTM to important world-wide situations regarding topics such as the environment, energy consumption, and mobility.

The KTM zero emission motorcycle embodies the typical KTM “Ready to Race” philosophy and features the most modern construction characteristics throughout the motorcycle with the highest quality components which have been a standard on KTM motorcycles since the beginning.  With its first zero emission motorcycle, the world’s leading producer of off road motorcycles has developed an electrically driven sports motorcycle that proves that riding fun and environmental sustainability need not be in conflict with one another.  Be sure to see both models at the 2010 Tokyo Motorcycle Show (yes there is an English version).  KTM, founded in 1953, is the second largest European motorcycle manufacturer specializing in “Ready to Race” on and off road motorcycles and ATVs.  Proven successes in worldwide competition are embodied into the design and function of each KTM race machine. KTM has built a reputation for high-quality premium race ready machines suitable for on and off road race competition and recreation.  With more than 150 World Championships and counting, the technology, design and performance of KTM continues to race past the competition time and again.

Harley Davidson News Has Announced That One Lucky Sweepstakes Winner and Three Friends Will Fly to L.A. to Meet Wellness Expert Jillian Michaels and Learn to Ride

How about this, female motorcyclists have been the fastest growing demographic in the motorcycle industry since 1990, that is when women represented just three percent of riders.  However, today, women represent 23 percent of all motorcyclists while continuing to grow, and in an effort to encourage this growing trend of women hitting the open road, Harley-Davidson is celebrating National Garage Party Month by hosting nearly 400 Garage Party events at dealerships across the country in March.  Click here to find the Garage Party Locations and Dates near you.

“Garage Party events have encouraged thousands of women to learn to ride over the past few years,” said Leslie Prevish, women’s outreach manager for Harley-Davidson Motor Company. “The events help educate and build confidence for new female riders, and March kicks off the beginning of riding season, so it’s the perfect time to get women involved.”

As part of National Garage Party Month, the Motor Company has kicked  off a sweepstakes that runs March 1 – 31, 2010, whereas one lucky woman and three of her friends will be rewarded with a spa retreat weekend in Los Angeles to learn to ride through the Rider’s Edge® New Rider Course.   This lucky women will also meet TV wellness expert Jillian Michaels, and get some tips on leading a healthier life.  Jillian Michaels, an avid Harley-Davidson rider and life-long motorcycle enthusiast, recently forged  her partnership with the Motor Company to encourage more women to participate in the sport of motorcycling.  Women riders can enter these sweepstakes by attending a Garage Party event or online by visiting Harley Davidson Garage Party.

Garage Party events, hosted by Harley-Davidson dealers since 2005, have been developed specifically for women, creating an intimidation-free zone and an opportunity for female riders in local communities to connect with one another.  These free events are designed to be both fun and educational – covering topics such as a review of the basic motorcycle controls, how to customize a motorcycle’s style and ergonomics, and how to gear up for a ride. During Garage Party events, the attendees are organized into small groups, getting their first taste of the camaraderie that goes along with riding.

Groups visit four informational seminars throughout the event, including:
•    Motorcycle Orientation: learn the basics of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle model families.
•    MotorClothes®: discover the differences between riding and non-riding gear.
•    Customization: learn how to customize a motorcycle to reflect a rider’s personal style and fit any body type using the H-D® Fit Shop™ at participating dealers. The H-D® Fit Shop™ experience illustrates the benefits of tailoring a motorcycle to the rider.
•    How to Pick-up a Motorcycle: find out how to handle the weight of a motorcycle, including an interactive experience demonstrating how to pick up a dropped motorcycle – for those who are interested in trying it out.
