Customs motorcycle make over

💡

That tradition is alive and well, and this custom-built machine destined for small-run production is the latest example.

The ‘Engrich ART’ motorcycle is powered a fully balanced, 1200cc 360° parallel twin. It’s the only engine of its type in the world, we’re told, and uses a ‘reciprocating tungsten balance system’.

Gets a make over from the Austrian shop NCT. Plus news of a Ducati Scrambler design contest, and a bespoke luxury roadster from New Zealand.

The project started 20 years ago, and after sustained engine and chassis development, the first complete motorcycle was built last year.

The chassis has over 200 anodized and CNC-machined components, uses 6061 aluminum, and is hooked up to Öhlins suspension. The fuel tank is machined from billet aluminum, and 3D printed nylon is used for the air box body, air intake, tank cowlings and rear seat cowl assembly.

They  a lare has long tradition of bike building and engineering ingenuity, and uses a aluminum.


No pricing has been announced yet, but the parts are all top shelf—from PVM forged wheels to Brembo brakes, plus Motec electronics and Rizoma ancillaries.

The market for this kind of machine is obviously limited, but the appeal is strong. If it performs as well as the specs suggest, it’ll be a very exclusive alternative to bikes like the Triumph Speed Triple or Ducati Monster 1200

If you know the name Glenn Curtiss, you’ll probably remember him for his aviation exploits before World War I. Flying his own planes, he trounced established names such as the Wright brothers in competitions. And despite being American, he was awarded the #2 official French pilot’s license—after Louis Bleriot, who flew the English Channel in 1909. But Curtiss’ first interest was motorcycles rather than airplanes. He not only set the motorcycle land speed record, but also beat the mighty Indian Motorcycle Company in endurance races.
