Concept type 3

The drag strip served as the inspiration for the T3, with styling aimed toward a more performance-based machine rather than a pure cruiser.

Note the tubular steel frame, flawless hand-formed aluminum body pieces, and air scoops on each side, in keeping with the drag bike look.

With a raked front end, bold pipes and short fenders, the T3 takes on a very businesslike appearance.

The sweeping fan-shaped arrays of triple exhausts on each side tickle the eyes and tease the ears; with six-into-six pipes, what would this bike sound like at full chat?!

Drag-style handlebar and an upright speedometer lend a functional air to the T3's treatment, one that is capped off by the gigantic 230/60-16 rear tire. The conversion to chain final drive is most appropriate.

The front wheel presents a beguiling look; the brake discs bolt up directly to the wheel's five spokes rather than through central disc carriers, creating an unusually open and airy appearance.

The T3's rear fender offers a nicely integrated, organic style treatment as it flows curvaceously forward and downward into the seat and "side panel" area.
