MO2OR - Bike manufacturer to build bikers dream bikes

Jayy · Mr. Ponzi Joined: 08 Jun 2009 Karma :

These guys are going to let bikers vote for their dream bike specifications and eventually build the one with the most votes and put it into production.

Quite a unique concept, there's a form on their site that you can pick out the specs you'd like...

What would you build?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Fail. You can't pick the drive type, nor cooling, nor how the valves are driven.

There is more chance of me building my own dream bike than these jokers.

In fact, I'd love to build a better chassis in which to house my YPVS engine...

1300cc
V4 2 Stroke
Injection + Turbo
Twin exhausts?? Closest available choice.
Trellis frame, double sided swinger.
Fully adjustable rearsets, digi dash, clip ons.
Hub centre steered, adjustable mono-shock.
Part faired, single seat.

Why would anyone NOT choose fully adjustable rear sets?... "No, that's disgusting, I only want my rearsets PART adjustable!"

Obviously they can just manipulate the figures to build the bike THEY want, or at least not the v5 1300 'charged 2 stroke everyone else might want, but will be silly expensive.
So they'll basically end up with a Jap engine in a custom frame - aka many 'specials', often seen in Streetfighters. Doesn't have to cost a silly amount of money.

This car was built along similar grounds (well, actually using a creative commons licence, I think!), but with a better buisness model, I suspect:

And yes it is a 'real car' and yes I would like one please Praying

(Oh and a desert to use it in too Smile

This thread actually inspired me to look for a frame kit for my RD350. The usual suspects like Spondon are around, but I've heard rumours that a 350 spondon frame kit costs £8000. Then there is Silverback engineering that will make me a bespoke alloy frame for £5000 including frame, swinging arm, tank, rear shock and spindles.

Then there is a guy in Australia who makes an alloy beam frame kit which costs AUS$5000 which is about three and a half grand in £ sterling.

All too expensive. What I really want is a Steel Trellis of Ducati Monster style. There is a guy on the internet who has built this:

Which is the closest I've seen. I'd so love to do that, but I don't have the time or skill to carry it out. Mind you, if I could find someone who could do the whole job for (a lot) less than £3500 I might consider it!

You never know, they might come back with something amazing.

Just look at what happened with SWAP.avi.
