Arch Motorcycles debuts three new models at EICMA 2017
Milano, Lombardia, Italy
Arch Motorcycles, a brand co-founded by the Hollywood superstar Keanu Reeves has released three new motorcycles at EICMA 2017. While one among them, the ARCH METHOD 143 will be a limited production model with only 23 planned, the other two will be full production motorcycles.
A sportier KRGT-1, that is what the 1S is essentially.
The 2018 KRGT-1
The first bike in production guise is the KRGT-1, which expands on the original model released in 2015. The new model features a number of ergonomic changes along with new suspension hardware. The 2018 motorcycle will feature Ohlins FGRT forks and a self branded rear mono shock unit. The models are Euro-IV compliant and feature an upgraded braking system that adds ABS to the mix along with 5 spoke BST carbon wheels.
The engine is a 2032cc V-Twin unit that is mounted to a steel frame. The overall ergonomics are that of a sporty cruiser, with an empathizes on its ability to be ridden hard. The bike can be customized extensively, to meet the needs of the rider. The bike is a stunning piece of machinery and will be quite a rare sight.
The KRGT-1 is a powerful cruiser that can also be quite sharp and sporty.
The 2018 Arch 1S
For those of you out there looking for a sportier machine, Arch also has the 1S. It's based on the Arch KRGT-1, with some tweak to make if a quicker and sharper handling motorcycle with more machined and carbon bits, and a clear focus on handling. The Arch 1S has an improved, committed riding stance and is the first in the range to feature a single sided swing arm.
A radical looking bike, this will surely turn a lot of heads.
The Method 143 will have a limited production run of only 23 bikes
Last, but not least we have the Method 143, a unique and rare motorcycle with a limited production run of just 23. It features a 2343cc engine mounted on to a unique Carbon Fibre mono-cell chassis. The bodywork is machined out of aluminium and the seats are made of the kind of leather found in designer wear. There's also a touch screen dash and an asymmetric headlight cluster lending to the bikes character.

@alex Yeah, it looks long and low, and I have feeling that the ground clearance is going to be a luxury this bike can't afford much of.
