Enigma 1050 Motorcycle Kit

Former British talkabout-journalist Jim Lindsay is behind one of the most intriguing motorcycle projects within the United kingdom at this time. Working in the listing of contacts he’s made since the motorcycle industry, Lindsay and the crew are building the Enigma 1050, a Triumph Speed Triple-powered custom sport bike.

Working together using the minds that bring us Tigcraft, K-Tech Suspension, Promach , and Dymag, the pedigree behind the Engima 1050 has already been an encouraging one, but what intrigues us probably the most would be that the Enigma crew is thinking about providing the bike like a package build, additionally to some finished ready-to-ride motorcycle.

Like Legos for grown-ups (you could reason that you won’t ever out-grow Legos), a package-built Enigma 1050 seems like the best Christmas gift for the motorcycle enthusiast inside your household. Regrettably however, it will not maintain time for Christmas 2011, because the Enigma team continues to be finalizing the look and parts for that Enigma 1050. Lately finishing the 8kg(!) frame, and beginning focus on the swingarm, it’s wished the first Enigma 1050 is going to be performed by April 2012, where it’ll begin testing.

The ultimate aesthetic from the Enigma 1050 continues to be up in mid-air, though we love to what we’re seeing here already in the team. When the Enigma 1050 is really a success, we would likely see more models out of this rag-tag crew of motorcycle producers. But small steps first, it’ll be interesting to look at this bike unfold.
