Harley-Davidson names Keith E. Wandell President

Keith Wandell has been named Harley-Davidson's new President and CEO, taking the place of James Ziemer. Wendell joins The Motor Company by way of fellow Milwaukee-based automotive supplier Johnson Controls, where he'll remain in his current role as President and COO until the end of April. Financial news institutions seem generally pleased with the appointment, which is good since H-D's currently experiencing some of the worst market conditions in its 106-year history. Somewhat shockingly, Wandell does not currently own a motorcycle, a fact we're certain will be quickly rectified.


Also starting on May 1 will be Enrico D'Onofrio, who will take the reigns at MV Agusta, the Italian motorcycle maker that was recently purchased by Harley-Davidson. D'Onofrio had previously held the role of CFO at cross-town rival Ducati - which definitely sounds promising - and will take over for Matthew Levatich, who will now serve as COO at H-D. Quite the management shake-up, no? Mind-numbingly boring press release after the break.

Concept Honda CBR600RR Repsol Carbon

He is one of the most beautiful concept and better realised what he has ever seen on the last times. It is about a concept Honda CBR600RR Repsol Carbon published by TheUncle on deviantART.


In the photographic gallery you find also two versions, in blue and white (Suzuki?) and one instead in green and black (? Kawasaki) you think one perhaps before the definitive version Repsol Carbon.

Apart from the small dome and part of the previous bottom similar to the KTM RC8 I find her really "bad".
