2007 Norge 1200 Moto Guzzi, That's Amore

One of my favorite writers, Susan Carpenter, the "throttle jockey" who writes for the LA Times, has delivered a review of the 2007 Norge 1200 Moto Guzzi sport-tourer motorcycle that might have you running to your dealer with dollars in your pocket. The Italian luxury bike is named as a tribute to the 3,700-mile trip Giuseppi Guzzi took to the Arctic Circle almost 80 years ago. It has a powerful air-cooled, four-stroke, 90-degree V twin engine and at 542 pounds is a substantial and sturdy bike. Carpenter took the bike for a spin in Malibu's Decker Canyon and found it a breeze on the twisting roads. The base price is $14,990.

Cyclepod

We have had quite a few posts about bicycles and bike accessories recently on Luxist. Though the bikes themselves may verge on luxury, surely there is nothing glamorous about keeping one chained in your garage, right? That is where the Cyclepod comes in. This revolutionary cycle storage system lets you store up to eight bicycles in a space that is only 2-meters in diameter. The way it works is by locking the bikes into place in a vertical position, which alone looks much more appealing than the old fashioned "toast rack style" units. It is made out of 100% recycled aluminum. The Cyclepod could, of course, be used commercially, but it would also be a good piece for the avid bicycle enthusiast to store his/her gear. The canopy ($1,495) is optional. Cyclepod alone price: $8,995.
