When Victor Komunytsky and Jim davis decided to build the MotoMorphic JaFM, they had to sacrifice their small repair shop and their small business of selling motorcycles in order to put more time and effort into building their beauty. This prototype makes you think of a Respingo when you first see it. The monstrous 250 mm wheel is enough to make heads turn and bring you all the attention you ever wanted. An Aprilia Falco which was baptized as the hell’s pig was the guinea pig to test and try solutions as the tyre proved to be a problem. The next step was to build a multi tubular chassis and they chose an Ohlins fork, Brembo brakes and a couple of other things. The result was a beefy, all American, aggressive motorcycle that sure kept everyone at the motor shows gasping for breath.
The frame and swingarm are made of 6061-T6 tubing and
CNC machined billet 6061.
The lower spars are 5 inch, the uppers 4 inch,
and the frame head is 6 inch.
Gasoline is held in the frame, with a capacity of
approximately 6 1/2 US gallons.
The swingarm is 3 and 2 inch tubing and CNC subcomponents.
Ohlins forks, Penske shock, Brembo brake calipers and
rear mastercylinder, ISR front mastercylinder, Magura/PFM
clutch mastercylinder.
Stainless brake and clutch lines from Galfer.
Rotax V990 fuel injected one liter dual overhead cam
4 valve per cylinder liquid cooled V-twin engine with
a 6 speed transmission and dry oil sump.
The 4 inch diameter tank with hemispherical ends
on the left side of the bike is the oil tank.
First pass Dyno tune yielded 108 hp, 68 ft-lbs of torque.
Wheels and tires: Front 8 1/2 inch with a 250 tire, Rear
10 1/2 inch with a 300 tire; wheels 6061-T6 alloy drawn
and then CNC machined.
