New British Motorcycle Brand: 'Mac Motorcycles' Unveils Plans for a Range of new Motorcycles. A collaboration between one of the UK's leading motorcycle design studios, Xenophya Design and Ellis Pitt has led to the launch of a new British motorcycle company called 'Mac Motorcycles'.
Ellis has collaborated with the team at Xenophya for the past 9 months to design a small range of lightweight, air-cooled singles using the 500cc Buell 'Blast' motor in a tubular backbone frame.
Ellis explains "Between us we'd designed, modified, built and ridden all sorts of motorcycles over the last 30 years and thought it was time to produce a motorcycle that reflected our philosophy. Our influences have been diverse and we've made unusual connections between genres of motorcycles such as choppers, Italian singles from the 1950s, flat-trackers and competition specials. What underpins Mac Motorcycles' philosophy though is the belief that the riding experience and the stories that go with motorcycle journeys seem to have been hijacked by technology and plastic."
There are 4 different models ; 'Spud', for dossing about on, 'Ruby', the motorcycle equivalent of 'the girl-next-door', 'Peashooter', for squirting to your favourite pub and gassing with your mates and the 'Roarer', a modern-day dinosaur-chaser! The company initially plans to produce a few hundred bikes in small batches increasing production as appropriate.

They look awesome. It’s a shame they’re only single-cylinder bikes and not v-twin. Single cylinders are my 2nd favorite type of engine, though.
