This just in from Riccardo Chiosi, Fantic Motorcycles designer and long-term Sideburn reader (whose Gilera, The American, was in Sideburn #15).
This bike just debuted at EICMA. Above is the flat track, below is the dual sport, on knobblies. How cool are these?!
Take a look at our last toys - Caballero
three displacement : single 4-stroke 125-250-500.
Two version : dual (17"-19") and flat track (19"-19" omologated!!!)
I'll keep you updated!!!
Ciao
Riccardo
I've heard the name Fantic before but quite a few years ago. I can't seem to find a whole lot of technical info on these bikes. Mainly, do they build their own engines from scratch or use another manufacturers?
