Title: MAC Motorcycles - cool concept bike that is not by Oberdan Bezzi
Post by: Travman on May 28, 2009, 08:55:32 PM
I dig the look and concept of a light weight single with a cafe look that isn't overly retro.  Ducati could make this bike.

I saw those earlier today on another board.
I like them a lot, pity about the Buell motor and the price

Those look absolutely incredible.

Love 'em both, but especially the last one pictured.

seems like street singles are trying to stage a comeback?  or is it my inexperience showing?

I'd love to have one of those formula 450 singles kitted out for street riding, but that bike above would be wicked as well.

I like them.

How much were they?  I looked on the site, but couldn't find a price.

Motorcycle Daily said "around $10,000".  That's alot of money for a bike with the Blast! motor.  I'm not sure why they used the Blast! motor.  Maybe because Buell can't give them away?  Even the staunchest Buell lovers have nothing positive to say about that bike/engine.

Why not use a Rotax like just about every other custom air-cooled single bike of the past two decades?  I'd love to see them find a way to stuff that big Maico 2-stroke that ATK is putting in the Dominator.  Good luck getting that through the EPA..

Speaking of  which, if any version of the bike makes it to production, I hope they find a good way to hide the emissions shit on a road legal version, otherwise a lot of those pretty lines and spaces will be compromised by a bunch of hoses and canisters.
