The Yamaha XSR700 gets the looks to match its performance, Paton releases a street legal version of Michael Dunlop’s IoM TT bike, and a Yamaha MT-03 scrambler that channels the Dakar-winning XT500.

The street-legal Paton S1-R If you watched the Isle of Man TT this year, you were undoubtedly blown away by 120.601 mph average speed that Michael Dunlop recorded on his Paton S1-R. It was a blisteringly fast run around the mountain course on a unique machine. And now, you can buy one from Paton to have a go yourself?with signals and all.
Released to celebrate Paton?s 60th anniversary, the S1-R is a street-legal replica of Dunlop?s race winner. Powered by a tweaked version of Kawasaki?s 650 twin, the S1-R develops 80 hp thanks to high-compression pistons, clever head work and a Power Commander. Suspension is top notch, fully adjustable stuff from Öhlins, and braking is tackled by Brembo.
Beneath that gorgeous bodywork lies a tubular steel trellis frame that delivers an extremely stable and communicative chassis. And because it was competing in the lightweight class, this green beastie tips the scales at a scant 158 kg (348 lbs).
Pricing is a touch high at $34,000, but for those dollars you?re getting a proven race winner?and easily one of the prettiest crotch rockets on the market today. [More]
