What happens when two Formula 1 designers take a look at racing motorcycles to see what could be done differently? You get something that looks like the Ecosse Spirit ES1, a very fresh set of ideas all put together for the purpose of going faster but with some concepts that could be transfered to many other types of motorcycles. They began by examining rider position as a … [Read more...]
Alfa Romeo 4 Cylinder Boxer Powered Motorcycle
Alfa Romeo engines must be a more popular transplant than I thought. Here's another motorcycle which looks quite finished and ready to ride. The engine is a 4 cylinder Alfa Romeo boxer but I can't tell you much else. The photos were taken in Belgium and there are a few notes by the images.

Richard Hatfield and Todd Kollin had other ideas for the tired track day ride and pulled out all of the usual drive components like the engine, transmission, clutch, exhaust and radiator and in their place are 28 90 … [Read more...]
Harley Davidson Leaning Trike Patent Application
Here's something a bit different from the Motor Company, it's a patent application from Harley Davidson for a leaning trike. It's looks like a cross between the Can-Am Spyder and the Brudeli 625 but it is distinctively Harley with the big twin power plant in there. Whether they are thinking of producing this or something similar, they probably wanted to get the paperwork in to … [Read more...]
