$18K for base custom model and $30K for 68hp track racer.
Not high quantities built, but it is still being built.
Basically, its an ultimate custom bike.

There is still hope. And a third of those prices are Euro currency markup.

A standard custom model below:

no offense, but for 18k, why would anyone buy that? Maybe it's just me, but I would rather have an RSV/RXV550

 

What kind of sillyazz concept is a sidecar that can't carry your wife, girlfriend, or dog? Only goods!?! Interesting paint scheme though.

 

goob (Yjacket),

When will you be ordering yours?

 

It looks like an oversized mini - or maybe an undersized naked street fighter (Watch the video with the rider onboard).
A single front brake rotor leans toward the pleasure side of riding (Most sport bikes have dual front brake rotors). so its performance is in question.
Besides, anyone can already create their own bike - it is called AFTERMARKET.
Nice find at any rate!

REALLY? Dual brake rotors on the front??

How is that on the bikes? One on each side? or do the rotors look like car rotors?

I just think would would look cool. Pretty much anything dual looks cool.

 

Supermoto trend is to have one larger diameter disc brake vs two standard front brake discs, due to weight savings. That is a 300 lb bike, which is quite light and a significant performance/weight ratio.

If you like doing stopees, dual front disc would be the ticket. But you would rather learn on a $7K bike than an $18K bike, because good chance you are going to wreck learning how.

 

Yes, dual rotors are one on each side of the wheel.
The reasoning is for better stopping power with no gyroscopic effect (i.e., it doesn't pull the wheel toward the brake side when slowing quickly).

I've owned both (single and dual front rotor streetbikes) and I could barely notice the difference - but then again, I do not even come close to pushing the envelope on braking while cornering - like a racer would.

 

You have inertia fighting friction. The inertia is on the axis of rotation at the center of mass and the friction is less than an inch offset. It would take a well tuned set of senses to notice the imbalance. Now if you only had one brake and it was offset by 2 feet from the center of mass, like only one front brake on a quad.........you would have to be dead not to notice the imbalance.
