Englishman Paul Smart’s historic Imola 200 victory in 1972 on the 750 Imola Desmo marked the beginning of the modern Ducati racing era and the emergence of the big-bore twin, sport bike dynasty. The new Paul Smart Limited Edition is a tribute to Smart’s victory and the timeless styling of his silver racer.

The donor bike for this project was a bone stock 2007 Ducati Sport1000S. Ducati Performance 'lowers' along with all the stock bodywork was stripped, taped and painted in beautiful detail to match the historic Mille MHR and Mille S2 produced in limited numbers from 1984 to 1986. Headers will be heat wrapped and joined to Termignoni mufflers replicating MHR megs of the day. We will also clean up the rear end with the very cool FLEDA lights and new license bracket.

Go Go GO for a lot LESS dough!
That's right, BMW has realigned their pricing so the 2007 K1200S is now significantly LOWER—$1,380 lower than just 2 weeks ago.
That means a nicely equipped K1200S* is now only $16,845,
lowered from $18,225.
To ride the fastest BMW ever, get down to Cliff's and take advantage of this amazing opportunity right now!

All motorcycles, vintage and new, American and import, are welcome at this mega-festival with trophied motorcycle shows sponsored by American Iron Magazine and RoadBike to kick up the fall season. Join us at this open-air show to celebrate the culture of the motorcycle. Meet racing aces and enjoy delicious Italian food. Visitors will have a chance to meet the 2006 Bonneville land speed record holder, Roosevelt "Rosey" Lackey, and get his autograph, while the bike itself will be on display in the Museum building. New Canaan's own motocross champ, Wilson Fleming, winner of the 88 cc junior division at the 2006 New England Regional Championships, will also be on hand, showing the sport's multigenerational appeal. Stamford native Buzz Kanter, AMA Hall of Famer and motorcycle magazine publisher will attend and display some of his vintage motorcycles. Bring your cameras as there will be photo opps with bikes and leather jackets, free activities and crafts for kids, and a safety demonstration. The live auction of a ca. 1954 MV Agusta 125 TR (Turismo Rapido) will take place at 2 pm. Awards for the motorcycle shows will be presented by the staff of American Iron Magazine and RoadBike at 3:30pm.

In the public eye, MV has transformed from being a tale of Italian motorcycling legends to become synonymous with beauty, sophistication and technical exclusivity.

The thirty-five “Motorcycle of the Year” awards MV have received since 1999 says it all. The specialist judges have also taken into consideration the progress in terms of performance that is in the DNA of all MVr machines. One simple example explains everything: since 1999 MV has increased the power of their four-cylinder engine by 50HP while at the same time constantly improved reliability and reduced emissions.

The same applies in the frame department that, while retaining the basic concept of a tubular frame and single rear swinging arm, has continuously worked closely alongside firms like Marzocchi, Sachs and Brembo to create the highest possible specification components exclusively for MV's use. The results of this technological evolution are all brought together in the newest creation from MV Agusta: F4-1000R.

Now you can take full advantage of a spectacular bike at special savings. Come in to ride one and see what we mean!
