The incredible Japanese…
The story goes something like this: Snake Motors built a vintage looking board tracker powered by a small 50cc engine for Mr.Kitano, and present it in the magazing “Setagaya” Vol.18 under the name DAYTONA No245 (complicated, but bare with us). The small cc masterpiece became a big hit and people started inquiring. What we see in front of us is the replica of the Mr. Kitano’s bike named the K-16. Snake Motors can build you one – the exact same replica – but you would need to wait for a while.
Now for the part that got our attention: the bike is light almost as a bicycle, the engine consumption is minimal while the gas tank is huge! Can we say “potentially” 120mpg and 600 miles autonomy!?!? We would so love to commute on the motorcycle like this. The production model is in the making, with the necessary headlight and tail light, in order to be street legal. The cut muffler need to go as well.
