The Bonneville salt flats are the scene of many a strange, speed beating creation and in this case we get a new project for a motorcycle land speed record from Laurent “Zen” Dutruel.
On building a new Harley fit for Bonneville, the project is called Hagakure and involves a workshop-built bike based on racing concepts from a century ago, in a special version Bonneville racer that has no suspension and virtually no brakes.
So you’d have to be mad, right? The bike in the video is certainly beautiful, but some of its components look awfully flimsy to be doing more than 200 km/hr on (for those of us worried about our own mortality, that is).
There’s not a lot of info available, but the bike apparently has no springs and no clutch (and the previously mentioned minimal brake set-up), and it could be the perfect machine for Zen Motorcycles’ third speed record attempt.
In which case, it would also be one of the most beautiful bikes to take on the salt flat as far as we’re concerned.
