Vanguard Unveils The Roadster Prototype Bike
Vanguard in a new new American motorcycle manufacturer with its roots in New York city and they are all set to launch their first exotic offering
A WORKING PROTOTYPE WILL DEBUT AT THE INTERNATIONAL MOTORCYCLE SHOW IN NEW YORK THIS MONTH
Vanguard in a new new American motorcycle manufacturer with its roots in New York city and they are all set to launch their first exotic offering dubbed the the 'Vanguard Roadster'. The roadster has quite an unusual design which marries old world charm with space edge styling. The engine is a stressed member of the minimalist frame that features an integrated exhaust. The body is completely made of metal featuring billet parts with the exception of a carbon fibre fuel tank. The motor is an exotic all-American S&S Cycle, the company that makes high-performance parts for V-twin engines and has a history in drag racing and Bonneville land speed records.
This engine powering the Vanguard is a 1917cc S&S V-twin motor that makes 98.9PS and 149.7Nm of torque.
The cycle parts too are an exotic affair. Front and rear suspension is courtesy Ohlins, brakes are from Brembo while tyres come from Metzeler. Features include LED lights and LCD instrumentation which has a rear view camera so you dont need mirrors.
There will be three models of which the Roadster is the first. A cruiser and a racer will follow soon. Prices will start at $ 29,995 (around the Rs 20 lakh mark) putting it in the range of custom choppers. While the model pictured above is just a prototype, a working prototype is all-set to debut in New York at the International Motorcycle Show on the 9th-10th. The production model will come out in 2018.
