100% Electric Motorcycle : Brammo Empulse and Enertia Home. 1. July 2008. ROYAL ENFIELD " Custom Line " Il mondo della motocicletta come sappiamo bene è assai strano e variopinto.
Ci sono gli assatanati della pura prestazione, gli amanti della bella meccanica, i fuoristradisti, i modaioli,i viaggiatori tritakilometri per non parlare dei "fanatici" di marca e altri ancora. Eppoi ci sono quelli innamorati di una motocicletta "antica", tutta di ferro, nata in Inghilterra molti e molti anni fa, poi emigrata in India dove è rimasta uguale a se stessa, anacronistica e sorpassata e quindi più snob e anglosassone che mai. La ROYAL ENFIELD costruisce ,oggi, moto che non erano moderne nemmeno quando sono nate, monocilindriche 350 e 500 di potenza terribilmente modesta, telaio in tubi di concezione non proprio "racing"e sospensioni .......... si vabbè. Eppure a guardarle ci si può invaghire di questi vecchi attrezzi metallici. Questa prima "infornata", prevede una configurazione estetica da Dirt Track, con tanto di tabelle portanumero e scarico alto. MotArt: Motorcycle.

Classified Moto have already shown the way, and here’s another terrific example—this time from Greg Hageman of Doc’s Chops. It’s a 1982 Yamaha XV750, and it was built for Season Two of Discovery Channel’s Cafe Racer TV show. Hageman built a new subframe to support the lovely, wasp-like seat unit, and lowered the forks by two inches to improve the stance. There’s a Tarozzi fork brace to tighten the handling, along with Tarozzi rearsets and clip-ons for a better riding position. At the back is an adjustable, air-assisted shock and a simple Acewell unit has replaced the standard instruments. The engine internals have been left alone, but the stock Hitachi carbs have been rejetted, fitted with K&N filters and matched to a free-flowing Mac Performance exhaust.
