Honda CB400F world record price highlights UK motorcycle sales

Motorcycle Sale

In the middle of the motorcycle adornment presented by Silverstone’s The very first self-driving motorcycle auction was what could easily have been overlooked as a relatively ordinary vintage motorcycle, a 1978 Honda CB400F.

But it was a Honda with a difference. The 400cc 4 cylinder motorcycle has never been used, presented as 100% complete and original, and with only one mile on the odometer.

As such, it sold for a whopping £15,975 ($21,604), an impressive result that broke the world record for this model sold at auction.

The 1936 Brough Superior was the top seller

Silverstone Auction’s sale of 120 motorcycles took place at the Carol Nash MCN Motorcycle Show at ExCel in London, where it achieved sales of £767,000 ($1,037,760) and a sell-through rate of 75%.

The top-selling motorcycle in the auction was a “superbly presented” 1936 Brough Superior SS80 982cc, which sold for £61,875 ($8,3717).

Another historically significant motorcycle was a 1927 Triumph Works TT 489cc racing motorcycle, believed to be one of six works riders entered by Triumph in the Isle of Man TT races in 1927, and which sold £41,625 ($56,319).

Starting the auction was a special appearance by TT motorcycle racing legend Maria Costello MBE, who is an ambassador for the motorcycle brand, as she reviewed some of the special motorcycle offers on sale, including the record-breaking Honda.

Silverstone’s next motorcycle auction will take place during the MCN Motorcycle Festival at the East of England Arena, Peterborough on May 15. For the full results of the London auction, visit the Silverstone website.

Buy a bike, g… | The motorcycle brand launches with NFTs

Motorcycle Brand

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the news online over the past few months, you’ll have seen a lot of talk about the ‘metaverse’, NFTs and the shift to digital spaces. A British motorcycle startup is hoping to jump on the trend – Neo, with the One motorcycle.

It’s a very Matrix name for this electric motorcycle, and with wildly optimistic numbers floating around the website – a top speed of 120 mph, 120 lb-ft of torque, a quick 30-minute charge time and a 200 mile range – there’s something a little more interesting (for some) going on.

The world of NFTs. If you’re not sure what an NFT is, don’t worry because you’re in the majority. To give a quick overview, an NFT is a ‘non-fungible token’, a form of data stored on a digital ledger certifying that a digital asset is unique and can therefore be owned by ‘the original’.

Kind of like how there’s only one Mona Lisa, but tons of photos and prints. There is an owner of the Mona Lisa, but everyone can always “access it”. Confuses? Yeah. The NFT market is thought to be worth around $40 billion, so there’s a lot of money here.

And that’s what Neo is trying to exploit. Promising a digital collectible (which they’ll print for you, if you wish) alongside the physical 1 in 250, Neo is also looking to create a Discord community and various “levels” to “join the movement.”

To the untrained eye, it looks like a bubble waiting to burst, and lots of glitz and glamor to re-hash an existing concept – homeowners clubs do exist, and once upon a time you’d get things for being part of them . Maybe access to a Facebook group, access to events (outings and meetings), maybe even a badge.

This is what is often mentioned as the purpose of NFTs, namely that they can serve as a “membership token” to gain access to exclusive clubs and groups. A way to give value to something that might otherwise be worth as much as the Pokémon cards of my childhood in the back of the drawer.

Neo motorcycle brand hopes to enter the NFT market

On their dedicated NFT page, Neo has created a ‘Race Director – Holographic 1 of 1’ level, a ‘Crew Chief – Rainbow 1 of 5’ level, and on… you have to admire the idea, and it might just be something more established manufacturers are considering in the future.

After all, it’s a way to pique the interest of a modern crowd, it doesn’t cost Neo much to create all of this, and if all goes well, they could make an NFT worth millions. That’s right, some NFT coins sell for over $5 million, the highest recorded NFT coin was sold for $91.8 million (a coin called “The Merge”).

Maybe we should do a Visordown NFT, Discord chat and investment opportunities…jokingly. Half fun.

Harley-Davidson Livewire will be the first American electric motorcycle brand to go public

Motorcycle Brand

ABIC will merge with LiveWire (the e-bike division of Harley-Davidson) to build a new publicly traded company. This common stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under “LVW”. This new coalition will make Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire the first publicly traded electric motorcycle company in the United States.

Harley-Davidson expects the net profit from the transaction to be $545 million. The brand will use these reserves to accelerate the future of its first model, generate new products and improve global production and distribution. This IPO is accompanied by an increase in wealth in the form of a PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity), the Taiwanese manufacturer of two-wheelers Kymco, already a partner of LiveWire, implanting 100 million dollars. The transaction will be funded by ABIC’s $400 million held in trust and a $100 million investment from Harley-Davidson.

What does this mean for the future of Harley-Davidson Livewire?

Via: Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson will be the majority shareholder (74%) of the company following the closing of the transaction. ABIC shareholders will own 17%, while ABIC and Kymco founders will own 4% of LiveWire. Jochen Zeitz (Chairman, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson) will be the director of LiveWire and will serve as CEO for the first two years following the closing of the transaction. Harley-Davidson expects the joining forces to have an industry value of approximately $1.77 billion when it goes public.

Via: Harley-Davidson

Jochen Zeitz, President, President and CEO of Harley-Davidson, said: “Today’s announcement is a historic milestone, with LiveWire poised to become the first publicly traded electric motorcycle company in the United States. Building on Harley-Davidson’s 118-year lineage, LiveWire’s mission is to be the world’s most desirable electric motorcycle brand, leading the electrification of the sport.” He explained, “This transaction will give LiveWire the freedom to fund new product development and accelerate its time-to-market model, LiveWire will be able to operate as an agile, innovative public company while benefiting from the large-scale manufacturing and distribution capabilities of its strategic partners. , Harley-Davidson and Kymco.

For reference, in February 2021, Harley-Davidson unveiled its goals to build an electric motorcycle business as part of its five-year “Hardwire” approach. The brand’s first model is the LiveWire One, a relaunched version of the popular LiveWire e-bike at a much lower price. In May, the LiveWire model name was changed to a proper brand name. The US launch of the new LiveWire One initially took place in California, New York and Texas. Beyond the United States, the LiveWire One will be available from 2022.

The LiveWire One is now in production. The next product plan will be the launch of LiveWire S2 Del Mar, named after the California town of the same name. This bike, smaller and lighter than the original LiveWire One model, will be a mid-weight offering. It is obviously based on the Arrow platform. The S2 range will be accompanied, logically, by the S3 range. LiveWire envisions these models to be scaled-down versions of the Arrow architecture with smaller batteries and motors, so they can fit into the “lightweight market.”

Via: Harley-Davidson

ARROW, a modular and scalable EV system integrating a motor and battery with an on-board charger, is the basis of the future product line. Zeitz said Harley designed the EV systems to meet the needs of the motorcycle market. He also said that spatial constraints and the impact of battery weight on handling were therefore of major importance.

Jochen explained that Harley LiveWire can innovate faster by controlling the IP of motor, battery and power electronics. This allows them to avoid the limitations imposed by third-party options. They can quickly expand vertically and horizontally with the ease of an EV-powered powertrain and the benefits of a modular, scalable architecture. Harley-Davidson can bring new models to market faster with less R&D.

Via: Harley-Davidson

LifeWire’s latest statement on IPO plans says it will focus on applications for urban electric motorcycles. It will first establish a brand presence in North America and Europe, and then expand into other markets, including Asia. LiveWire says it will expand its product line while focusing on the rapidly evolving future of electric vehicles. This will ensure that core Harley-Davidson elements are protected by future technology.

SPAC mergers are a popular way for electric two-wheeled vehicle makers to quickly enter the US stock market. Gogoro is taking a similar route with a SPAC, which will take him to NASDAQ.

Via: Harley-Davidson

LiveWire’s claim to be the first publicly traded electric motorcycle company may need a little explanation. Although Gogoro’s electric two-wheelers can travel over 80 km/h (50 mph), they were considered scooters rather than motorcycles. Arcimoto’s publicly traded three-wheeled fun utility vehicles, legal in most US states, are honestly motorcycles. However, Arcimoto does not refer to its vehicles as bicycles, so it will not protect this label. HD’s LiveWire is sure to be the number one electric motorcycle company on Wall Street, compared to the others.

Electric motorcycle brand Voxan tests the new Wattman

Motorcycle Brand

Electric motorcycle brand Voxan, owned by high-performance electric vehicle specialist Venturi, presents the new Wattman. With world champion Max Biaggi at the helm, the brand sets out to conquer even more speed world records.

Click here to read more

The Voxan Wattman was initially supposed to make its attempts on a Bolivian saline in July 2020, but the pandemic made travel impossible, and it was therefore on the track at Châteauroux airfield in France that the team broke 11 records of the speed world a year ago. .

Asphalt has turned out to be an interesting surface, so the Wattman – modified accordingly – will continue its program on another strip. This time, the site will be the Space Florida launch and landing facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where, starting Monday, November 15, the first ultra-high-speed tests will begin.

The Wattman now weighs less than 300 kilos, which allows it to compete in this category. The difference in weight is mainly due to a new Voxan-Saft battery design, both mechanical and electrical. Saft, the French subsidiary of TotalEnergies, is particularly specialized in high performance, very high power batteries. The pocket cells used make it possible to increase the power of the batteries by nearly 80 times, compared to around 10 times for standard products on the market. They are assembled in modules, allowing cooling to be managed with a recently patented process, resulting in an ultra-compact construction.

voxan-ksc-2021-3

The bike continues to rely on the Mercedes EQ Formula E powertrain, which delivers 320 kilowatts of power (compared to 270 kilowatts for the previous version) and offers 1360 Newton meters of torque.

Other notable differences from the previous Wattman include the dimensions of the motorcycle: to improve stability and air penetration, the wheelbase has been increased to 1,957 millimeters (from 1,800 millimeters previously) and the height of the saddle is now 685 millimeters (instead of 610 millimeters). In the event of a strong crosswind, the team will now have the option of adding a fairing that reduces wind resistance.

As for tires, Michelin, a long-time partner, has worked on designs specifically adapted to this challenge. The 120 / 70-17 front is a tire from the MICHELIN Power GP range, which has been modified to tolerate extremely high speeds. For the rear 190 / 55-17, Michelin has relied on technology which has been proven in MotoGP to develop a tire with better grip. The challenge was to channel all of the extraordinary torque provided by Wattman’s electric motor, allowing the bike to accelerate as quickly as possible without skidding.

Lamborghini family resurrects ISO motorcycle brand for 2021 EICMA

Motorcycle Brand

 

Hang on to your cold brews, because they’re pretty gossip.

Apparently a member of the third generation of the Lamborghini (Ferruccio Lamborghini) has relaunched a historic motorcycle brand just in time for the EICMA of tomorrow.

The report of EINPresswire tells us that Lamborghini jr. has raced at a Moto2 skill level for years now, with his passion for restoring the griffin’s logo. , sustainability and Italian heritage. ‘

257101093_124651696649993_1330551490988651602_n

“To accomplish this mission, the owner of the Ferruccio Lamborghini brand has brought together complementary know-how to establish a new trend in electric vehicles with international partners Giken Mobility, a Singapore-based subsidiary of integrated contract maker Giken Sakata, and Kinetic Green, member of the famous Kinetic group in India, owned by the Firodia family â€, comments on the report.

258759546_125697733212056_8372266542399319441_n

Feruccio himself is also thrilled with the anticipation of tomorrow’s festivities at EICMA:

“I am really excited to take on the challenges of a fast growing, cutting edge industry. This project perfectly combines my desire and my intention to build something new from the history of a great Italian company.

“Since my family bought the Iso brand, I have been looking for strong, industry-leading partners with whom to achieve the highest standards in quality, performance and design.

“I had planned to launch the project in Italy, and more precisely, during this special edition of EICMA, to underline the Italian tradition of the brand, because this is where Iso has its roots, and it is where we will start.

ferruccio-lamborghini

The project in question – a series of electric vehicles equipped with both motorcycles and golf carts – will include the Iso Uno-X electric motorcycle, featuring “cutting edge design inspired by racing technology”, as well as a stripped-down chassis architecture, a low center of gravity, a direct belt drive (protecting the mid-engine from vibrations on any topography), and a liquid cooling system that can operate for a range of 130 km per charge, with a maximum speed of 115 km / hour.

The interesting part, however, is in the electronics.

iso-uno-x

Giken Mobility’s intelligent ecosystem allows riders to download an app, where they can “control the motorcycle, check its condition in real time, plan trips, calculate distances traveled and view trip history”.

“At the same time, the app enables real-time data collection for research and development purposes, so that engineers can continuously work on improving the design and function of the bike.â€

Let us know what you think of this beast, if you ever wanted to ride a Lamborghini bike … and don’t forget to check out other machines that will be showcased at EICMA as well.

Super Soco to unveil premium electric motorcycle brand for US and European market

Motorcycle Brand

Super Soco electric motorcycles are known to be light, affordable, and plentiful. But now the company hopes to add the word “premium” to the list by launching a new brand of premium electric motorcycles for the US and European markets.

Super Soco is the primary brand offered by the Vmoto Soco Group, an Australia-based motorcycle and electric scooter company made in Asia.

We’ve seen many interesting Super Soco two-wheeler debuts over the past few years, from retro-inspired electric motorcycles to fast electric scooters bordering on maxiscooter territory.

The next big unveiling is set to take place at the Milan EICMA Motorcycle Show later this month, where Electrek will wait in front and in the center.

Although we do not yet know what kind of electric motorcycle we will see, we have a first word on the name of the new brand: Vmoto. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Now available in Canada (CNW Group / Motorino Electric Cycles)

Super Soco will continue to exist to primarily serve the Asian market, while the US and European markets will be targeted with the higher-end electric motorcycles from the Vmoto brand.

This decision follows Super Soco’s recent entry into the North American market.

Vmoto’s new high-end electric motorcycles will likely find the market ripe for new entries. Two large companies dominate the electric motorcycle market in the United States: Zero Motorcycles and Harley-Davidson.

Energica has also expanded its operations in the United States with a growing number of dealers, although the company’s sales figures remain low compared to Zero and HD. All three offer flagship models priced at or above $ 20,000.

Zero is the only company out of the three to offer fairly affordable entry-level models. Prices for its FXE start at $ 11,795, while the Zero S starts at $ 11,195. Federal and state incentives can help bring these prices closer to $ 10,000.

But Vmoto could enter the market with lower prices than Zero, although it remains to be seen if the quality could be comparable.

Other Asian electric motorcycles are now entering the North American market at affordable prices. Kollter has recently entered the US and Canadian markets, with prices starting just north of $ 6,000.

We’ll be sure to bring you all the news and updates straight from Vmoto’s debut at EICMA Milan later this month.
