If you prefer your motorcycles to look like something out of a futuristic bikers from hell story, the 2010 Triumph Rocket III Roadster ($TBA) is for you. Available in all of one color — we'll let you guess which one — the Rocket III boasts the line's most powerful engine yet, a 2.3 liter three-cylinder beast good for 146 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. Add in Brembo brakes with ABS, a set of 43-millimeter upside-down forks, twin Kayaba shocks, and traffic-stopping looks, and you've got one helluva ride.
SaveWith a race course heritage and catwalk-worthy looks, the new Ducati Hypermotard 796 ($TBA) is the perfect mix of performance and urban utility. It features an all-new Ducati 796 engine good for 81hp and incredible fuel mileage, an APTC "wet" clutch offering a slipper action to prevent rear-end destabilization during agressive down-shifting — perfect for stop-and-start driving — and either a matte black, matte white, or Ducati red finish.
SaveIf you've grown tired of the average American sportster or chopper, check out Wrench Monkees Custom Motorcycles ($20,500 and up). Custom-built in Copenhagen, Denmark, these unique bikes feature a streamlined yet rugged aesthetic that's unlike anything we've seen before, often made using rebuilt engines and a mix of off-the-shelf and custom parts to give them an excellent ride while maintaining their independent credibility.
SaveBlacked-out from fender to fender, the 2009 Harley-Davidson Iron 883 ($7,900) is an affordable, no-frills chopper that's begging to be customized. The latest Harley Dark Custom motocycle, the Iron 883 offers plenty of old-school, anti-plastic style, including front fork gaiters, a drag-style handlebar, side-mount license plate holder, a chopped rear fender, a straight cut shorty dual exhaust, and 13-spoke cast aluminum wheels (19-inch front, 16-inch rear) with a fat 150 mm rear tire. The bike is powered by the impressive Evolution 883cc V-Twin engine.
SaveWho hasn't wanted a sidecar motorcycle at one time in their life? Cruise the streets like a WWII gunner in the Ural T Sidecar Motorcycle ($10,000). Assembled in Russia with components from Brembo, Ducati Energia, Sachs, Herzog, Denso, Keihin and others, the bike is powered by a 750cc Boxer engine and has a 4-forward/1-reverse transmission. The military-esque beauty would sure make your boring commute a little more exciting this summer. The 11-year-old you would approve. [Thanks, Madina]
SaveLooking for the closest thing you can get to a street-legal racing bike? Check out the new BMW S 1000 RR ($TBA; 2010). This nasty new superbike features a water-cooled four-cylinder inline power plant good for 193 hp, factory ABS, an advanced traction control system, an HP Gearshift Assistant for full-power clutchless upshifts, all while weighing just 455.3 pounds with a full tank of gas. The result? The most horsepower and highest power-to-weight ratio of any bike in its class.

With all the attention going to hybrid cars these days, it's easy to overlook some of the other modes of transportation out there, and some of them are even more economical. The Zero S ($9,950) is a fully electric motorcycle with all of the speed and performance of a gas-powered bike. Designed to be both aggressive on the road and kind to the environment, the Zero S is highly responsive, built by hand from aircraft grade aluminum and powered by the Z-Force, a lithium ion battery that reaches a full charge in under 4 hours. Pushing 31 horses, this bike can go from 0-30 in under 2 seconds, similar to a 250cc gas powered motorcycle, but costs only $0.01/mile to operate. That's what we call efficiency.

If Patton had designed motorcycles, he'd have built the Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Millitary ($5,545). A favorite among military enthusiasts the world over, the Bullet 500 is an eye-catching ride. And although it looks like something that rolled out of World War II, it handles just like a modern bike and has all the modern amenities, like a highly-tuned engine that has 23 BHP at 5500 RPM. Recent updates include lower emissions and better fuel economy (75 mpg). [Thanks, Ryan]

Now that's what we're talking about. The just-unveiled Mission One Motorcycle ($69,000) is the world's fastest production electric sportbike. Designed by Yves Béhar, the Mission One is a zero emissions vehicle that has obviously brilliant styling. It's got a top speed of 150 MPH and an estimated range of 150 miles thanks to a proprietary high energy lithium ion battery pack. An electric drivetrain and no gear shifting means crazy torque and acceleration. The just-out-of-stealth-mode Mission Motors said the first 50 bikes will be limited edition and will ship in 2010. Watch for a cheaper model this summer.

We'd recommend ditching the all-black outfit of the rider above, however, lest you be attacked by a confused group of other bike-riding ninjas.

SaveShow your fang affiliation by stocking your fridge with Tru Blood ($16).

SaveFlapjack lovers, rejoice. Now you can make fresh, 97% fat-free pancakes in as little as 30 seconds using the ChefStack Automatic Pancake Machine ($3,500). This microwave-sized wonder uses no-mess batter pouches to crank out stack after stack of four- inch diameter pancakes, and doesn't even require supervision, letting you cook up breakfast for you and your crew while you get your other morning activities out of the way — like taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or downing a half-dozen mimosas.
SaveOne of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20). Milled in Vermont by some of the oldest soapstone workshops in the US, these stones chill quickly in the freezer, and won't impart any flavor to your favorite blend.
SaveWe love bacon, and we've seen everything from Canned Bacon to Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Floss — hell, even Bacon Lip Balm — so it was only a matter of time before we discovered Bacon Soap ($6). Made to both look and smell like frying bacon, this soap will get you clean while giving your appetite a jump-start on the day.

SaveTackle the great outdoors -- or just yard work -- in the coldest of weather in the Timberland Utility Jacket ($150). With straightforward looks, it's not exactly a flashy piece of outerwear, but it does the job, with a rugged cotton twill outer, nylon polin and polyester fleece lining, a front zipper with button flap cover for added wind protection, dual snap-close side pockets and two cargo-style chest pockets, slightly distressed details for a worn-in look, and stitched down shoulder epaulettes.

Terrorism. Murder. Blood. Bullets. Darkness. This is the G.I. Joe cartoon you've been waiting 25 years for. G.I. Joe: Resolute ($14) is a new animated mini-series featuring classic Joes and Cobra operatives that's sure to make the live action movie look even more like a turd. Aimed at older viewers, and garnering standing ovations at JoeCon Comic-Con, Resolute consists of 11 episodes (ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale) totaling 60 minutes. We won't tell you the plot, but let's just say Cobra Commander goes totally apocalyptic on Moscow. In the first four minutes. Can someone please start a petition to turn this into a regular weekly series? Oh, and don't forget the toys.
SaveWhat good is a portable hard drive if you're afraid to take it anywhere? With the Hitachi SimpleTough Hard Drive ($100-$135), you simply grab your data and go.

SaveHaving a big-ass tool set is all well and good, but when you can have the most popular sockets on hand in just one tool, why bother? The Black & Decker Ready Wrench ($30) offers exactly that, with 16 of the most popular sockets — in both standard and metric — on rotating heads on either end of the tool, ready to replace both one- and two-inch deep sockets. With a rubber grip for added comfort, it'll let you save the big tool set for those really tough jobs — like assembling Ikea furniture.

This awesome free service lets you choose from a range of applications, plug-ins, utilities, and other goodies that might normally take hours to download separately, with a "Get Installer" button at the bottom that will do all the heavy lifting for you, creating a simple, one-step app that will install all of the software you chose in one fell swoop. Good for Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
SaveWe've seen plenty of not-so-hot iPhone cases that have tried to tack wallets on as an afterthought, but this is the first time we know of it's been done the other way around. The Hard Graft Phone Card Wallet (€79; $120) is a slim, front-pocket style credit card wallet that's built with such strong elastic tape that it can also hold a phone inside for a decidedly less-slim solution. Other features include grey vegetable tan leather construction, seven card slots, and measurements that happen to hold an iPhone perfectly.
SaveIf you're into gadgets, and if you're reading this that's highly likely, then you no doubt have several SD and/or microSD cards laying around — so turn them into USB drives using the LaCie DataShare ($13). The DataShare breaks into two halves — red for SD and white for microSD — that fit together to form one solid, easily-portable storage solution.
SaveInfinity pools have been around for a while, so it only makes sense someone would apply the same idea to another home-sized water feature: the aquarium. ZeroEdge Aquariums ($600 and up) do exactly that, providing overflowing aquatic environments for all types of fish and sea creatures in a variety of styles and shapes, ensuring you can find one that's right for your home or office. Just remember: no edge equals no lid, so be sure to keep the Darla-types away. [Thanks, Brian]
SaveWe're quite used to seeing tons of tools crammed into a pocket knife-sized package, but it's not everyday you see the same thing done to an axe. The Brook & Hunter Mo-Tool Axe ($40) brings the handyman heat with a capable axe blade and hand-crafted red oak wood inlay handle, plus a hammer head, screwdrivers, knives, a can opener, wire cutter, file, pliers, and a wrench.
