Arch Method 143

This is the bodacious and most triumphant (millennials might need to google that) Arch Motorcycle, the brainchild of lifelong bikers Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger. Anyone who's been following the motorcycling press over the last couple of years will have heard about this project and finally, it's here - literally. There are just two bikes in the UK, and we have one of them in residence here at 384 Old Street.

Gently does it. There ain't no replacement for displacement!! Below is the press release packed with specs and the outline differences between the three models. We have the just over 2 litre ARCH KRGT-1 version currently on a bench in our restaurant. If you haven't seen one up close please feel free to pop down for an ogle. And if you've just shorted Apple stocks and have some spare loot, give the guys Future Moto a shout - here There's also an interesting article on Petrolicious about the relationship between Keanu and Gard - click here for that. Until we get a go on the thing and can give it a thorough test, here's the bumph from Arch.
