#Tech #Moto #Vanguard you're looking a bike that makes a statement, this new company has what you're looking for. Link :https://m.facebook.com/story.php?stor... Brooklyn-based #Vanguard #Moto, Inc. recently unveiled a of its first model, according to the Robb Report. Vanguard’s stated #goal is to “#redefine the #premium #motorcycle #proto type” with #advanced #design and a new #approach to #engineering and #manufacturing. #Vanguard’s first bike is the Roadster. It’s built on a frameless structural engine, meaning the engine itself is a major frame component, rather than being fit into an otherwise complete frame. The Roadster is powered by a modified S&S Cycle 117 cubic inch X-wedge-based air-cooled V-twin designed to pull 110 foot-pounds of torque. There is no mention of #horsepower, though the #torque rating pretty much says what many customers will want to know — if it pulls that hard, it’s hard enough for a 500-#pound bike. #More: All dressed up and ready to ride: Touring motorcycles for long hauls in comfort The bike is shaft driven and has a six-speed transmission.Vanguard says the Roadster, which has Ohlin front and rear suspension, #Brembo brakes, and #Metzeler tires, will be available in 2018 with a $30,000 “#target #price.” After Roadster production beings, Vanguard intends to use the same platform for two more models, the Cruiser and the Racer. In addition to the structural engine, other notable Roadster features include a unitized crankcase, an integrated exhaust system, and a digital dashboard that looks not unlike a tablet and in addition to other information and functions, can show what is behind the bike via a rear-view #camera. Other notable specifics include the Roadster’s 5.5-#gallon gas tank, 32-inch seat #height, and a ‘target’ weight of 550 #pounds. To put that weight in perspective, a 2017 #Harley-#Davidson Sportster XL 1200C with a 73 cubic-inch engine weighs 559 pounds. #Vanguard’s co-founders were formerly involved with Confederate Motorcycles. Edward Jacobs with the lead designer and Francois-Xavier Terny was a board member. Launching a new motorcycle company is a tricky proposal because unlike cars, nobody has to buy a motorcycle. You must make clear from the get-go what your bikes and company stand for, how they will be unique, and why customers should invest their funds in a bike from a company without a proven record. With the Roadster Vanguard’s co-founders are making a statement, the market will decide if it’s a statement they want to support.
