Motorcyclists first of all

But a motorcycle can also represent a person who wants a product tailored to suit their needs and / or passions, as in the case of cafe racers and choppers “, he says. Francesco Iannuzzi.
While the other: “An important moment is the driving experience. Reach the bike, get on it, start the engine and the experience you feel is intoxicating for the sensation of freedom and for the adrenaline unleashed by the innate danger that characterizes a two-wheeled vehicle. The riding experience is something necessary for every bike. While designing it can be improved in terms of performance but we have simply decided to keep it enjoyable. The aesthetic aspect, on the other hand, is a completely different story ”, he concludes Francesco Iannuzzi.
What lies beneath Snow White
Let’s start from Honda CX500the mechanics are basic, the exhausts are cut and without terminals, the intake is direct with filters mounted on the carburetors, last but not least all carefully covered by the black paint.
The engine is a 497cc, 50hp, liquid-cooled vintage twin, capable of reaching 176km / h. Another peculiarity is the retractable saddle. This is positioned under a mobile tail, which raises and retracts by means of a pantograph hinge. So the seat in fine Alcantara is retractable. Snow White: “It wants to be a sculpture when parked but give a smooth driving experience when needed. You open it. You get on it. Drive it ”, he concludes Gianluca Bartolini.
