The motorcycle has undergone over three years of development and is being widely acknowledged as one of the finest examples of two-wheeled design ever produced.
Born at the Bienville Studios in New Orleans, Louisiana, the JT Nesbitt-designed Legacy is said to advance motorcycle design with patented suspension leveraging one composite leaf-spring with the engine mounted at its centre.Carbon-composite blades allow for rake and trail adjustment for the first time on a production motorcycle.
Three concept models have been produced to-date, establishing an interesting bill of materials in titanium, carbon fibre, leather, and mahogany.
Powered by the American-made 1,650cc Motus V4 engine, production models will be supercharged and will provide up to 300bhp.
As tradition dictates, the Legacy will be ridden up the iconic 1.87km Goodwood Festival of Speed Hillclimb by Jim Jacoby and Scott Miller, who both founded the the American Design and Master-Craft Initiative (ADMCi) Foundation that supported the Legacy project from its inception.
