Thumbs up The bike that's about to change racing history

And yes, it's made in the USA.

Following it's mass production you could own one for no more than the cost of a Ducati 999R.

Don't even mention the "B" word in the presense of this machine, it's an insult to say the least.

"about to" ????? Well, what's the story????

As far as I know, that's the "C1", a "proof of concept"
machine that has been shelved for the all new machine,
the "C2" - There's been no news lately...

The media is a year old, as you know that's all we have to go on for now...I think this calls for a road trip to his place!

Road trip to Oregon?!?! - That's a little far for me...

According to the website, MotoCzysz will be manufacturing
their front fork design as an aftermarket upgrade for other
motorcycles. - First up - The Honda 600RR...interesting.

And watch CycleWorld for another article from Kevin Cameron.

Many other great features as well.

Forks: Fork leg lowers are thin and rigid with aerodynamics in mind and designed to act as a suspension in flexing to absorb any vertical forces applied as the bike's leaned over in the turns. The upper portion of the forks use roller bearings to ensure smooth and even movement while the center mounted shock handles all of the compression, rebound, and preload.

Radiator: Is custom molded and mounted to the undertail to ensure maximum cooling while keeping the wheelbase short and the bike's width to a minimum.

Body: The body work is designed with pure aerodynamics in mind. Providing efficient airflow to the motor while minimizing turbulence and drag towards the rear of the bike.
