Bike Garage - Leggero Special

The Leggero serial of Walt Siegl is nada novel for the Rocketgarage pages, but the consider is the concept are together with then good done that the alone alter some details are a thing for y'all to revisit this beautiful bike.
The trouble harmonious together with proportionate dificcilmente tired the occho that looks together with tin non respect fault.

The Leggero is handmade to client specifications, acre essential elements similar frame together with bodywork are fixed units. The frame is built in-house alongside 4130 chrome moly steel tubing together with weighs merely xv lbs. The bodywork is made inwards kevlar. The engines are Bruce Meyers Performance rebuilt together with blueprinted two-valve Ducati units fitted alongside Keihins FCRs or fuel injection systems. There is a half-fairing selection equally well. 

“The Leggeros are built around two-valve, air-cooled Ducati engines. It’s that ninety degree, two-valve, Desmo engine that won together with then many hearts, including mine. There is no engine out in that place alongside the same characteristics. It’s a bright performer that tin travel hammered on the racetrack or ridden to the café. No, it won’t convey 200 horsepower, but that was never actually what owning a Ducati was all about. People bought Ducatis because they evoked a sure feeling that other manufacturers were never able to capture. They made y'all autumn inwards love. No thing what engine size, travel it a 650 or an 1100, y'all convey enough of grunt out of corners: You dip the cycle in, together with equally before long equally y'all clip the apex y'all feed the bound inwards together with it makes y'all grinning stupid. It’s how these engines brand ability that is together with then much fun. And at the cease of the 24-hour interval your jacket smells similar spent fuel. The novel motor technology merely doesn’t give y'all that anymore.

Ducati is notwithstanding edifice outstanding, see throb bikes, but they’re based on something else. They convey traction control, ABS, automatic electronic intermission adjustments together with more.  It all doesn’t necessarily become inwards a amend product, together with it for sure doesn’t become inwards a safer product. It merely makes it a to a greater extent than complicated product. And it doesn’t add together to the fun factor.

With the Leggeros, I’m using classic sport designing elements that are clearly recognizable equally such. That includes almost all aspects of the build, from exhaust to frame design. And alongside today’s brakes, modern intermission components together with fuel injection systems, I’m able to create a genuinely contemporary motorcycle. I’m getting the best out of the actually peachy characteristics that Ducati has engineered into their bikes, acre making everything lighter together with stronger. With the two-valve engine I ask less components, together with then the designing is much cleaner.”  — Walt Siegl
