http://www.synergymotorsports.com/ Among the many new bikes at the recent Intermot bikes show in Cologne Germany was a British-designed Supermoto called the Q450. Bizarrely, the bike's creator is called Eric English and he has spent years of his life designing and building the carbon-framed Supermoto machine. It is now ready to go into production with Taiwanese quad builder Cectek ready for the 2007 season as purely a competition machine, but the aim is to produce a road legal version as quickly as possible. The bike is very light weighing in at just 102 kg (225 lbs) and is based on the idea of mass centralization; hence the fuel is carried under the seat. This also keeps the bike very slim in appearance. Ohlins suspension and AP racing brakes are used to keep the bike in the exclusive bracket. It is powered by a 450cc single-cylinder motor with fuel injection currently giving a whopping 60-bhp and putting it well in front of anything similar on the market. This was developed by a British company involved in F1 car racing so it should stand up to the rigours of motorcycle competition! No prices have been given yet

I think in the right hands and set up well, this could be very potent :bow Gawarrior 11-28-2006, 07:44 AM very interesting! Only thing I find strange is where are you going to hang on with your legs is there is no gas tank.... GPD270 11-28-2006, 03:32 PM Bike looks sweet...... how much?
