Say “hello” to the very attractive Vanguard Roadster, which is hitting the interwebs ahead of its official debut at the IMS New York show(9-11 Dec.) Presenting by Vanguard Motorcycles, a new motorcycle manufacturer in New York, founded by Edward Jacobs and Francois-Xavier Terny.
The machines uses the S&S X-Wedge v-twin engine platform. It has a 1,917cc engine at its core, which makes 110 lbs•ft of peak torque.
Other source bits include Brembo brakes, Öhlins suspension, and Metzler tires. Technological items include a single-sided swingarm, LED lights, and an LCD screen and rear-facing camera that substitute for mirrors.
From a design perspective, the carbon fiber fuel tank and full-metal body make for an intriguing image. Details from the handlebars, to the fluid reservoirs for the brakes and clutch, and how the big v-twin engine gets power to its rear disc-wheel are all very compelling.
You can probably spend more than a few minutes admiring Vanguard’s first creation. Available in 2018, Vanguard says that the Roadster will be selling for the modest price tag of $29,995
