EICMA2017: THE BATTLE OF THE FOUR V4 ARMIES

'I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. And through the air. I am he that walks unseen. I am the clue-finder, the web-cutter, the stinging fly. I was chosen for the lucky number. I am he that buries his friends alive and drowns them and draws them alive again from the water. I came from the end of a bag, but no bag went over me. I am the friend of bears and the guest of eagles. I am Ringwinner and Luckwearer, and I am Barrel-rider.'



The journey continues.
Alone. But I've got you with me, Fellas!
The booth. Huge showcases that guard treasures that maybe only a few of us will have the pleasure to own, to ride, to play with. Or maybe no one.
But they give us a possibility.
The possibility to dream. 
To imagine to ride amazing bikes, and to take an endless travel or to run an impossible time attack on the track.
To hit the apex and visit impossible landscape. 
Or maybe to stand in a bar to admire monster bikes able to have limitless performance.
Illogical and irrational performance.
But damn...
Are the dreams logical and rational?

Aaah( like a whisper), imagination. Thaks God it's free.


BROUGH  SUPERIOR 





Revival, nostalgia. Whatever you want. It's simply a WORK of ART.
Useless? Anachronistic?
Damn. I don't give a sit (yes I know, censors).






Exclusivity means for the few.
But I think I really need it (could be also your thought while watching all the collection).


No worry, I think it's normal.


PATON


One of best examples of Italiangenius : from the 60’s the amazing remake Paton500bic500  8valves one of 50 bikes that they will made, ceriani forks, all bikes will be signed by #mrPattoni Remember Mr.Pattoni? Check on Misano Classic Weekend
Won the latest TT 2017 Lightweight class.
The base? From the Ez 6 Kawasaki engine, Mr. Pattoni made a magick.
A race bike with a democratic price: the PATON S1R-Lightweight RE (race edition) 35000€.


ALEX ALASSIO CR480


Ribi fork Andre Malherbe replica.  472cc 5 speed 51hp at 6400rpm. The engine will give all the power right now, right now right now! For only 103 kg. Like a modern 250twostroke? Yes, but in 1982. Without all of these sophistications. And no disc brakes for you: only a drum break to slow down this rocket. Little thought of, and about, unlucky rider: ANDRE MALHERBE. 
RIP Mate.


Neo was just far from me, from us.
See ya Mr.Anderson.
When I arrived, and you now with me, in the Olympus of the Motorbikes.
A name that is synonymous with victories, histories, and luxury.

MV AGUSTA
No brand new bikes here.
But from Schiranna they brought the heavy war armaments.
All the bikes were replicated in the RC (Reparto Corsa) style.
Ready to race, ready to give you a lot of satisfaction.
Maybe no 4inline engine, but damn, take a look: the quality is very close to perfection.
And if you look better.. I could see beauty in this booth ;).
Capable to make the difference on the road.
And also to be extremely effective on track.






Time is running out.
Come on, you have to see everything.
Motion.
Constant motion spelled by previews and shows.

Fast, my Fellas. Fast.
There is a battle which is looming on the horizon.
And I want that you will be ready when will rise a scream: "fire in the hole"!

Take your time Fellas.
I will stop the time for you. Not for long.
But now go out, get lost. 
And remember.
We will meet halfway.
Wich way?
Ok, I will call you back. OK?
And now go!

HARLEY DAVIDSON



HONDA 

CB4 Interceptor



Take a 4inline engine, a total black dress, carbon fiber rims. Bring it all in the 70's and back.
Interceptor. Maybe one day on our Fury Roads. 
Hypnotic suggestions..

CB 1000 R



Natual heir of the Interceptor, 145hp, 4inline engine, post classic design with complete electric equipment.
Awesome.

Honda Cub Cubed



EZ90 CUB3CUBED
90x90x90=729000.
XADV=745
E=MC2
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,
IT
COULD
WORK!
The Honda X-ADV, so sophisticated, powerful studded scooter brought the 1990’s to mind when another Honda scooter wowed with its freshness and lines. This too was studded and out of the ordinary: the Cub EZ 90. In some ways, it was almost a toy, and so DEUS ITALIA decided to “play” too, creating the Deus Cub3: a Cub cubed. 



Creating the structure which faithfully copies the original lines but in XXL format, took hundreds of hours of hard work, beginning with the construction of a model from which the moulds for the carbon fiber fairings were made. 
Collaboration ? With the best in the business: excellent partners took part in the development. Kaos Design helped with the definition of the model as well as the finishing touches and fairing color schemes; Pirelli developed a new size of the excellent Scorpion Rally STR knobbed tires; SC Project created the small and lighter exhaust which gives the bike a racing feel.
I know you want to try it. To own it. To play with.
And you have the possibility to know the price.
And remember #equilibrium : A heavy cost. I pay it gladly.

Monkey Concept


MSX engine, 125cc, less than 10hp, but with a lot of charm!


MOTO GUZZI

V85



850cc, around 80hp.
Maybe next year...?
Only a pure concept.. Or soon available?
Time will give us an answer, but now: what da hell!
It's sexy!
New V-twin engine and an interesting design!





OUR ROOTS GO DEEP INTO THE PAST. 
These words, like Echoes from the other world, turn horizons into endless ever present. 
(Thank you Klaxons )  
To forget this old saw it's like to build a house from the roof. 
Not impossible, but incorrect.
It's a moment, and when you look back at the Diapason Brand, this words seems light years away...

YAMAHA
Well, you won't fool the children of the revolution!

NIKEN




From Japanese word, and means "TWO SWORDS". Not one sword, but two like two are the front wheels, that adopt the Leaning Multi-Wheel tech.
A revolution?
For sure! 
Also like the design, an earthquake in motorcycle panorama.
4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul. And so far, it's all clear.
But three?
Half n half?
Engine? MT09 three cylinder Crossplane, 847cc with 105hp.
Is this what the childer of the Revolution want?



TENERE'



PEEWEE


Start them young..

What? 
Wait, I'm coming!
Ok, tell me!
Damn Editor, you told us that will be very soon a battle!
All in good times, my Fellas.
Why don't you Fellas take two minutes more...?

In The Land of Joy..
I hope you will have joy while riding these work of art.

DUCATI FLAT TRACKER 750

FLAT KAWASAKI


Fellas!
Fellas, here!
Time has come.
Are you ready?
Sure?
Ok, let's go.
The world of Race Replica bikes had a fast development, a positive development. And in less than ten years.
Only a few years and words like Traction control, Electronic Suspension Adjustment or Skyhook, IMU, Engine Maps (MAP8 for everybody), Electronic shifts were a sole prerogative of the MotoGP or WSBK. 
Prototype born with only one aim: to win races.
And the electric news is now the best talking point.
But, we like the noise.
We love the smell of gasoline.
We need power.
And this is the field where the battle will take place.
Cause, my Fellas, these rivals, these HP Armies, got tons of power.
Like 2005/2007 MotoGP.
The Battle will be epic.

Now more than ever before the best Factories use a common base for their lethal weapon:
The mythological V4 Engine.

LADIES
GENTLEMEN
...
FELLAS
HERE FOR YOUR OWN PLEASURE.

THE BATTLE OF THE FOUR V4 ARMIES.

They come from all over the World.

One Factory believed in this solution since 80's, winning WSBK championship first, and a lot of MotoGP Titles. 

One Factory tried to challenge in the MotoGP championship against the first one, without a real frame, cause Ing.Preziosi used a chassis with load-bearing engine and a lot of HP.

One Factory won for the first time the WSBK with this new solution. Applied to the MotoGP, even in this time the development doesn't stop.

One Factory, after the TT, decided to explore a new way and to produce in-house the new engine. 


APRILIA RSV4 RS

999,6cc V4 engine
201hp @ 13000 rpm
115Nm @ 10500 rpm
180Kg




The highest expression of the sportsmanships from Noale. 
It gets better every year. 
Pain in the neck of the most modern hyperbike.



HONDA RC213V-S

999cc, V4 engine
159hp street legal @ 11000rpm
212hp in Ghost Rider mode @ 13000rpm
170Kg



Non plus ultra of MotoGP technology applied on a street legal bike.
Only one word to describe this bike made in 2015, and part of this EICMA.
EXTREME.
Feelings, top speed, accelerations, brake. Everything in this bike's made with only one aim.
To Ride a MotoGP on our streets and tracks. 
And to Feel the same emotions of Marc Marquez.




NORTON V4RR

1200cc, V4 engine
200hp @12000rpm 
130Nm @ 10000rpm
179kg





???
Seriously, I don't know what to expect from this Bike.
But remember...
From Wolverhampton arrived in the 50's a pure racer bike called Manx...
Let's see in the next months what will happen..



DUCATI PANIGALE V4 SPECIALE

1103cc V4 desmo.
226hp if equipped withe the Akra @ 13000rpm
135Nm @ 10000rpm
173Kg





Remember the Desmosedici RR? Homologated race bike made in limited edition in 2007?
It's not the same, but very close.


But the price will be lower than RR.
The power? Moore power!
A good diet, and all the SBK tech equipments!
Sexy, compact, angry, but also hungry.
She wants to move..




Look at them.
Admire them.
They live thanks to our wishes, our awes and wonderments.
They feed on emotions we feel, and also high octane fuel.
But don't be deceived.
These are not all the same bikes.
There is a single factor that affects all this: 
The engine scheme.
That's where connections end.
Frame no frame (the Desmo), Aluminium twin tube shotgun chassis (the UK), Aluminium dual beam chassis with pressed and cast sheet elements (The Aprilia) and diamond frame (for the Japanese)
As sophisticated as the USS ENTERPRISE, if you want you can stroll with them even you name it's not Tiberius Clark: but remember always one thing. 

In case you plan to taste the speed, beady. They will bring you in another state of mind: something similar to the warp speed.
Enjoy the jump to hyperspace!




This is what I saw.
These Bikes are what I want to share with you, my Fella.
No winners.
No loosers.
Every Brand has an own story behinde.
Every Brand decides what to show.

I saw them, I touched them.
New feelings with a lot a great people there. With me.
I played in my mind, felt motion stood by and watchin.
This is our passion.
THIS IS EICMA2017

AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.
AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY. 

END.
