The Triple bike of F84 Engineering It is not simply an artisanal motorcycle: it is an experiment with a soul, a bridge between the past of motorcycling and the current passion for unique preparations. Represents the same mixture of ingenuity, recklessness and madness of which he spoke George Fitch In 1916, demonstrating that, more than a hundred years later, the motorcycle remains a territory where the dreamers dare to reinvent the impossible.
Florian He is not a newcomer to this world. At age 14, improvised motorcycles with engines already mounted, and the 15 tuned cyclomotor until reaching prohibited speeds, coming to see 120 km/h on the scoreboard. Today one drives APRILIA RSV4one of the most advanced superbikes on the planet, and keeps a 700 cc minimoto in its garage that already talks about its inclination towards the extreme.
But nothing compares to the Triple bikeyour most ambitious project to date. It is not about modifying an existing motorcycle, but about conceiving it from scratch: chassis, motor and key components. It is, in the words of the own Floriana “Total construction”
Triple bike secrets
The spark arose when seeing a small cyclomotor Mobylette with tricycylindrical engine. There the obsession was born: to build its own two two -stroke cylinders, a format that almost does not exist in the history of light motorcycles.
Convinced that the character of a two times is above the coldness of many four times (except the V12, admits with a smile), Florian He decided to launch a monumental challenge: to manufacture each piece from scratch. To achieve this, he invested his savings in his own workshop and acquired a lathe, a milling machine and the punctual help of a friend with a five -axis CNC.
The result was a 255 cc propeller and just 18 kg of weight, assembled with components designed at the millimeter: crankshaft, clocks, transmission, connecting rods, supports, chassis reinforcements and even parts of the escape. All thought and modeling in CAD software, discipline that, by the way, Florian He learned on his own during the process.
Although the full motorcycle has not yet weighed, lightness is one of its presentation letters. Florian assures that Triple bike It behaves better than many small monocylindrical, with surprising agility and a docile character in everyday use.
It is not intended to be a record machine. It is neither excessively rapid nor uncontrollable, but a motorcycle that allows you to enjoy stress without stress. In a way, he recovers that philosophy of the first motorcycles: pure fun on two wheels, without the need for stratospheric figures.
His ambition does not stop here. He says he is working on an even more ambitious project, which could become “One of the most extreme motorcycles in history”Major words, but coming from someone who has already created a two -stroke triple from scratch, the expectation is more than justified.
