The latest creation from Keanu Reeves/Gard Hollinger’s Arch Motorcycle, the Method 143, is really badass. After the successful KRGT-1 and S models, the Method 143 continues Arch’s commitment to limited production, excellent design and engineering high-dollar price motorcycles. Add multiple customizing options. The Method 143 features a revolutionary carbon fiber mono-cell chassis, maybe the first of this type ever used by a motorcycle manufacturer. To it is attached a CNC machined billet aluminum swingarm.
Method 143 uses the extremely powerful, high torque 143 cubic-inch from S&S Cycles paired to a MotoGP-inspired titanium exhaust with a carbon fiber skin around its muffler. Fuel cell is integrated inside the frame. Front suspension is a set of Ohlins FGRT forks with an Arch Motorcycle proprietary setup. Rear suspension uses a pair of Ohlins rear shocks. If you have to ask for the price you probably can’t afford one… But I bet that the 23 units that Arch Motorcycle is building are going to find owners very fast.
Love this thing. The Carbon Fiber mono-cell frame I need to see it in person.
These guys are definitely getting better in the style department.
Like John Wick, this is 1 Bad Ass bike.
Boss Hawg
The Confederate Wraith was the first production mono-cell chassis and was also oil in the backbone well over ten years ago.
Looks cool. Is it just the camera angle, or is that thing as long as a school bus?
Looks about a foot too long for a sportbike, so maybe it’s like a Busa with drag swingarm…a wachacallit.
I just hope the people that can afford this know how to ride a M/C with this kind of power.
And ya I’m jealous I can’t afford one.
Very cool. Looks a bit like something from BOTT.
I’ll take two
Okay – this ain’t half bad. In fact, it is more than half decent, it is fully f^%k!ng AWE-some.
I just hope the 23 $$$$-infused, who shares an address with Method 143, can actually RIDE it…
Gorgeous, I want one. I bet I am about $150k too short.
look nice hanging on some rich #$8#*$ wall!
once my bitcoin comes good I’ll have one thanks.
This is cool IF it’s technological development that finds its way into an affordable product. If it’s just rich man’s garage art…meh.
A sound-video would be a nice experience.
nice work not my cup of tea but good craftsmanship from the pics at least
We need to coin a word for bikes like these.
Unobtainamotorrad?
„… paired to a MotoGP-inspired titanium exhaust with a carbon fiber skin around its muffler.“
MotoGP-inspired …
carbon fiber skin …
I really love these guys from the ad-department
I like it, even though it’s well out of my price range. I’m a bit jealous of the lucky 23 buyers.
@ Xenu…Unobtainamotorrad …That’s a great description.
je préfère l’ancienne version, plus sobre.
If the character John Wick had an expensive movie bike, what would it actually look like? Would it be totally black, black and grey, and, have a lot of hi-tech billet and carbon fiber pieces? It would be interesting if Gard and Keanu were to ever create a John Wick Special bike for a future Arch model?
This bike is straight sexy!!!!! peace
That is one awseome build.
Hey Bob, triumph had oil in the backbone long before that.
this bike isn’t for everyone.. Ive seem it carve Greenwood and pull wheel in second gear in malibu, its legit.
Sweet!
Interested to learn what “Method 143” is all about. . .
Hey cool man. Looks like the kind of thing that Bruce, Keanu, and Bryson Smythe would tool around in. Maybe make good time between the Hampton estate and Palm Beach. Too good for the undeserving.
Why don’t you let the comments go through without moderation? It’s a pain in the a$$ to keep checking back to see if I made it. And how about a like and a reply button?
Cool bike.
I can describe this bike in three words… Not road legal. Lots of money for something you can’t ride on the street.
We were the first to do a carbon frame for a v-twin. Still have a patent on it. If you recall we did it back in 2002.
I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and without a
doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something which too few folks are
speaking intelligently about.
