The Cromo edition of Ducati's hit Diavel has the same 162-hp Desmoquattro engine as the ordinary version, but is wrapped a stunning black-and-chrome color scheme and has the old-school Ducati logo on the tank.

The heart of the Panigale is the 195-hp Superquadro four-valve engine. Ducati lovers might not like the wet clutch, but they'll love the Ohlins shocks and steering damper, and the electronic development over the 1198, which is huge. The Panigale has ABS, traction control, full ride-by-wire, and a host of other trickery. It's gone on a diet, too, weighing just 361 lbs dry.

  1928 Harley Davidson 8-Valve Board Track Racer 
This racing Harley has no exhaust system whatsoever, and was the last, most advanced bike in a series of factory racing bikes based on the "F" series production engine. It was a 1000cc four-stroke with four valves per cylinder. It cost an astounding $1500 back then, and somewhere between 10 and 50 were produced. The gray bike in the background is a 1910 Harley Single.
