In a fashion conscious market what does it take to stand out from the crowd and attract a new breed of rider? Say hello to the new wave in motorcycle design .
Somewhere out there is a new breed of rider. Let's call him Justin. Justin wants a bike. Well, he (or she, this is an adrogynous, sexually non-specific Justin) thinks he does anyway. Now here is the catch. Justin isn't a young rider right off a 125cc bike, he hasn't spent his for...

Talk of twins and it's a fair bet you'll be imagining a Ducati 999 or Aprilia Factory. But what are the 'alternative' two-pot choices?
