  • WELCOME to the WORLD of IMAGINATION! Designers Have Had Practically from the Very Beginning, Enough, and Almost Endless, Space T
    WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF IMAGINATION! Designers have had practically from the very beginning, enough, and almost endless, space to let their creative spirit together with their own sense of freedom and independence which this vehicle inspires, so they found a fantastic working field to let their imagination fly. If we go through the history of the two wheels vehicles, in many instances we find plenty of cases of unique and singular units, in some cases they were produced looking for a real specific need, even though it could go against its versatility, or just simply for the pleasure of creating something really different as well as extraordinary. In this new temporary exhibition at the Motorcycle Museum, you will find prototypes that they were never mass produced, even certain models especially focused for sports disciplines only practiced by a minority of fans in very few countries around the world and some of the most brilliant, extraordinary and original ideas ever AREA1. AUTENTHIC SHOW There are times when designers can enjoy complete freedom. It is just when function and shape not necessarily have to go together and perhaps, they don’t even have a reason to be made. Imagination taken to an extreme! 1 MOTO RUEDA MICHELIN 2, 250cc, 1998 Michelin entrusted this project to a renowned engineering company as an exhibition model to highlight the importance that tyres have within the motorcycling world. The main mechanism originates from a 250cc Honda scooter which by means of a friction system pushes the spectacular 2,30 metres diameter wheel. Motorcycle lent by: MICHELIN DRAGSTER OBSESSION, 1100cc, 1996 Handicraft produced, it is one of the very few Dragster available in Spain and it materialises the “obsession” of the author to create a machine of these features so popular in the USA.

It’s a perfect describer of Suzuki’s first-generation GSX-Rs. Because if ever there was a ‘radically new’ motorcycle, or one that was ‘beyond established principles,’ it was Suzuki’s 1985 GSX-R750 – and the GSX-R1100 that followed in ’86. As one motorcycle journalist wrote in 1985, “Sportbikes will soon be divided into two categories: before the GSX-R, and after.” Nicely put. The instant it debuted in late 1984 at Germany’s Cologne show, the GSX-R750 electrified the motorcycle world. Few in attendance, or those who read about the bike in motorcycle magazines in later months, could fully absorb the bike’s radical full-fairing look, its astounding dry weight, or the idea that careful and conservative Suzuki had built – and planned to sell! – what was basically a road racer with lights. It certainly looked the part. With its clip- ons, dual headlights, ultra-lithe aluminum chassis and purposeful, business-only stance, the GSX-R appeared as if it might have rolled into the viewing hall after an hour-long endurance-race session at LeMans or Suzuka.

    Honda Motor Europe España Motorcycle Division 08 octubre 2018 La Montesa Cota cumple 50 años 1.- INICIOS MONTESA (1945-1967) Montesa es la fábrica activa decana del mundo del motor (automóviles y motocicletas) en España. El origen de la marca Montesa toma su nombre de la orden de caballería fundada por el rey Jaime II de Aragón (Orden de Santa María de Montesa y San Jorge de Alfama), asociando los nuevos ‘jinetes’ motorizados a los por aquel entonces jinetes medievales. El primer escudo Montesa adopta la forma de un “sello de lacre” mostrando una “M” medieval, y en su parte inferior aparecen las iniciales B y P, de Francisco (Bultó) y Pedro (Permanyer). Su fundador fue Pedro Permanyer Puigjaner, que inició su carrera profesional creando, tras la Guerra Civil española, Construcciones Mecánicas, una empresa dedicada a la instalación de gasógenos para vehículos de cuatro ruedas (un combustible que se obtenía tras la quema de cáscaras de almendra). Vitales fueron sus conocimientos sobre combustibles vegetales mediante el negocio de carbones de su abuelo. En 1944, la creciente competencia en el negocio y la perspectiva de que cesaran las restricciones de suministro de gasolina, llevan a Permanyer a explorar nuevas alternativas industriales en un momento en el que las secuelas de la Guerra Civil aún estaban presentes, al mismo tiempo que el país empezaba a dinamizarse y a mostrar una creciente necesidad en medios de transporte de corte económico. Así es como decide, al principio, fabricar motores auxiliares para bicicletas. Eran los duros años de posguerra en España. Los combustibles escaseaban y había restricciones, pero Permanyer supo ver que en 1944, ya con la II Guerra Mundial a punto de finalizar, la normalización en el acceso a los carburantes estaba cerca, y comienza a valorar la posibilidad de reorientar su negocio de gasógeno hacia la producción de motores de 2 tiempos para motocicletas.

    POLE POSITION RACEWAY Have you ever thought about how much fun it Millsaps, Kurt Caselli, Grant Langston, Nathan would be to race against James Stewart? You Ramsey, and Ricky Johnson are just a few that know, go the same speed as the multi-time come to mind. Heck we even had a bunch of champ, and maybe, just maybe, have a shot at Team Green riders show up one day for a little passing the young superstar? Odds are you have race action with Final Lap magazine. We had 12 dreamed about it, but instantly realized that it’s mini riders spend about three hours here one probably not going to happen on a Motocross or morning, and a lot of them even said it taught Supercross track. them a lot about momentum and cornering.” “I’m really surprised at how fast the karts are,” said James Stewart. “I wasn’t sure about the whole electric thing, but they are the fastest karts I’ve ever driven at any indoor track. Plus, the whole thing is just cool. There’s really a lot of interesting stuff to look at.” Although Williams and Faught created the company, they are not the only ones involved. They approached a bunch of their friends to help out with the project, and that’s what really gave Pole Position Raceway its elite status.” “Jeremy McGrath, Mike Metzger, Steve Hatch, Greg Albertyn, Trevor Vines, Dick Burleson, Jeff Fox (Parts Unlimited), Eric Phipps (Works Connection) and Paul Thede (Race Tech) are all involved with our project,” added Williams.
