As for now it is just a graphic concept designed around the gritty engine of KTM LC8, but by the look of it we are somewhat drooling already.
It comes from England and is the brainchild of Kent-based custom motorcycle company ‘Spirit of the Seventies‘, a company that made a name for itself with a series of special bikes based on different machines and with pretty different styles: cafe racer, scrambler, flat tracker, you name it.
However, the obvious common denominator is that every bike has to be loyal to the company name.
Kevin Taggart and Tim Rogers are the men behind the project.
The two friends and co-owners of the British workshop share the same passion for motorcycles and design and also for that peculiar that vibe that only the bikes from the past can provide.
They always owned contemporary bikes, but at a certain point they decided to give in to that fascination and started to build vintage-flavored special bikes on the base of technically modern motorcycles such as the Daytona 675, Scrambler and Bonneville from Triumph, the 749R, Hypermotard 1100 GT and Sport Classic from Ducati and also the Kawasaki W800.
However, they didn’t disdain working on older models too, like Yamaha’s XS650 and SR 400, the Honda CB and VT500 and the Kawasaki Z1000 and Z750.
Apparently, the outstanding machine we can admire here in the images published by derestricted.
com is their next, upcoming project.
Mr.
Taggart himself has owned a few KTMs in his time, including a 950 SMR, 990 SM and a 990 SDR so he surely nows his way around an Austrian engine, and for this concept he picked the fierce 1000 cc 75° V-twin liquid-cooled unit of the LC8.
Once again, we think it’s just awesome (especially the ones with orange tubolar frame) and we really hope to see one ‘in the metal’ as soon as possible.
