This is MotoMorphic's first prototype motorcycle, the JaFM#1, which we found on Oliepeil. MotoMorphic founder, Jim Davis wanted to make bikes that were a bit special, and it looks like the JaFM#1 fits the bill.

Details on the bike are scant, but it seems the MotoMorphic JaFM#1 is based on an Aprilia Falco. With, of course, extensive modifications. The chassis is made of 6061-T6 tubing and CNC machined billet 6061, the swingarm is custom-made, the front fork is an Ohlins item, the rear shock is Penske and the brakes are Brembo units.

We think the bike looks pretty interesting. Will post more pics and details as they become available.

I like it because it's different......probably rides like a brick though.

Words cannot express how much I actually detest that monstrosity.

I really dont care for the WIDE front tire, but honestly, its certainly nice to see people thinking outside the box. betcha you CANT lock that front tire up no matter how hard you try.

Somebody got an A in CAD!:whistle:

I like and probably because it goes against what everyone would call normal.

I like the ram air duct on it and I think it looks relatively normal with two matching big tires.

[marko138]

What are you supposed to do with that?


I mean, it looks cool...but the handling gotta be a little...'slow'.

[jeeps84]

I would normally say it would handle like a brick but with bars that wide. Might not be to bad. Dont see it ever winning any AMA championships tho.

What about the position of those bars. Grip looks a bit odd.

[jeeps84]

Mountain bike bars. It would be fine. Bike reminds my of the Fat Cats for off road.

Bet you can. Looks like a POS Avon rear tire, which you could probably easily lock up.

I imagine it would turn HORRIBLE! What if you get in a tight situation and have to lean more? Not happening. Waste of the Ohlins, Penske and Brembos. He shoulda called it the "Anti-Lean".

looks like a not as radical bat mobile, with the riding position and grips.

[PhiSig1071]

Hell he probably doesn't even need a kick stand.

Thats the first thing I thought of. Bet that where he got the idea.

With the steering angle it might steer pretty well. Steep!

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
