The Bulgarian tuning house Vilner has ventured into motorcycles with their latest Aprilia Tuono project they are calling the Stingray.

Vilner Ducati Monster 1100 EVO

Check out this Ducati Monster 1100 EVO that has been tuned by Vilner. While we don’t cover motorcycles often, we are going to add a new bike section for all the motorcycle tuning enthusiasts. This project comes shortly after the BMW F800 R motorcycle received a tune from Vilner. Similar to that project, this Ducati features new aluminum on the front end, a new headlamp and a shortened rear end to go along with the custom paint.

Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept

While Kawasaki is known for great motorcycle designs, Dutch designer Sabino Leerentveld drew up this unique super car concept called the Kawasaki ZX-770R. It was inspired by the KTM X-BOW, which is a four wheel car also made by popular motorcycle manufacturer ABT. This Kawasaki super car would be extremely light, weighing in at only 500 kg or 1,100 pounds. Power would come from a plentiful V6 turbocharged powerplant, which is said to develop a whopping 770 horsepower. This is more than enough for a car this size, and has us questioning if the wheels would even be able to stick to the pavement.

Mansory Zapico

February 27, 2011 | CATEGORIES: Motorcycles

We don’t often review motorcycles, however the famous car tuners at Mansory have put together a custom build called the Zapico. Featuring more carbon fiber than a typical tuned car, the Mansory Zapico is one unique bike. Partnering with motorcycle specialist Thomas M. George, the project includes carbon fiber inserts literally from end-to-end, along with odd side mirrors and a luxe leather seat. Some aftermarket parts not made of carbon are the fuel tank, spoiler, and rear fender made of aluminum. Not only does this motorcyle look amazing, but it is pretty quick as well. At the track, the Mansory Zapico motorcycle can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds. This power comes from the 2.0-liter V2 engine producing 160 PS or 158 horsepower. The engine was supplied by the American company S&S, while the bike also received a new set of rims measuring 18×3.5 in the front, and 18×10 at the rear.

Motorcycle Tuning

Harley tuning

I’ve written a lot of articles about cars but after i’ve seen a great motorcycle discussion i’ve decided to add motorcycle tuning news and articles to this website. Custom motorbikes are really great and they could match any modified car. You can tune a motorcycle’s performances using several tuning kits and there are a lot of companies that could improve your bike. I remember i’ve seen a lot of episodes of American Chopper on Discovery and i always wanted a bike like that but maybe my dreams will come true in the future. If you’ll install a new turbocharger kit your motorcycle will gain more power and you’ll certainly see the difference when you’ll accelerate. But don’t tune it’s performances too much because riding a motorcycle is pretty risky. Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda or even the great Harley Davidson bikes could be modified to create a unique, custom made bike as you desire. Motorcycle tuning involves changing the paint color, installing tuning kits, modifying the look of several parts and changing rims. As i’ve seen on this harley forum there are a lot of passionate internet users that love Harleys so i’ll just post a couple of pictures with modified Harleys and i’ll let you enjoy them.
