Some bikes we are working on

Besides selling kits, currently we are focusing more on selling complete bikes. The main advantage is that in this way we have more control of the quality and the aesthetics of our bikes.
Although it is also true that lately we have seen some really cool XR1s that our customers are building out there. I think we will have some photos to show very soon.

In the next photo you can see some of the bikes we are working on right now in our workshop.


Bottpower workshop
The black XR1 (carbon fiber) in the background is a XR1 for Bottpower. We want it to test some stuff (like the titanium frame, for example) and also to use it as a show-bike (for shows, events, etc). It will be a bike a little bit more racing than the previous ones. It will have data acquisition and it will be a little bit a laboratory bike. We still must find a name for it, maybe XR1R or XR1 LAB.
We built this bike using this Buell Ulysses as a donor bike:

The next one (you can see only the engine) is the first cafe racer prototype, that now is completely disassembled to install the 1250 cc kit and another titanium frame. This bike will be really special because it has many top notch components, special electronics, etc.

The next bike on the workshop photo is the first XR1 we built. We are preparing it to make it street legal in Spain. We are quite delayed on this, mainly due to the “everyday work”: attending customers, fabricating parts and kits and working on new projects like the titanium frame or the new electronics.

The black bike in the foreground is another cafe racer that will go to Belgium. In this case the donor bike is this Buell XB12SS 2009 that Peter (its owner) shipped to us from Belgium:

One of the advantages of using a 2009 model is that it already has the 8 pistons caliper, and also the fork and the engine are black. I think this will add a nice touch to the final bike, which will keep the original Buell suspensions, wheels, brakes, electronics, etc.

  1. nice, really curious how peter from Belgium makes sure that he’s getting the paperwork done in Belgium.
    I’m from holland myself and by our government no one can tell me if this bike configuration can become streetlegal….
