"Birth of a Racer" - MotoCzysz on HDTHE right now
« on: March 25, 2008, 08:17:46 PM »
If anybody has the HD channel "HDTHE" (HD Theater), there's a documentary on right now (2300 - 0100 EDT) called "Birth of a Racer" about the company MotoCzysz and the development of their MotoGP bike.

It's channel 730 where I am (Cox Digital Cable in Cleveland)...

A buddy of mine toured the facility, he told me to keep my eye out for them.
I farted and made my son cry.

I was looking to see if they would have it on Discovery because their website mentioned it, but no such luck.

They put some cool new technology into their entirely in-house designed and essentially hand-built bike.

The engine was the most impressive bit.  Longitudinal with two counter-rotating cranks and the whole thing is only 6.5" wide.

Also an interesting front suspension with a center-mounted shock.

Revolutionary but also very viable concepts I think.  The test riders were raving about the bike because it handled so well and like nothing they'd ever ridden before.
