Hello everyone! We have with my friend a track motorcycle project here in Finland. It's about building as fast as possible track motorcycle from scratch. We have started writing a blog about it at Profoundly About Track Motorcycle.

Here's a pic of the bike:

Go check it out!

Uups, I meant motorcycle that is as fast as possible, sorry.

Interesting. What have you gotten the curb-weight down to?

We have not measured it yet, but we have calculated that it is about 135 kg (297,6 lbs).

It's a cool project, at least what I could learn from the English section of your blog.

Did you make that frame? The I-4 engine choice was predictable, but certainly makes sense. I like the venting system you installed in the seat.

Thanks, yes we have designed and welded the frame ourselves.
