2015 Yacouba Feline

YACOUBA has just revealed this 'FELINE One' concept bike. According to a release, the bike uses an 801cc three-cylinder engine making 170hp through a six-speed gearbox. It features a titanium exhaust and carbon fibre wheels with a 120/70 tyre at the front and a 200-section tyre at the rear. Carbon fibre is also used to make the swingarm, fairings, girder forks and part of the frame. The Feline One has a claimed dry weight of 155kg and a leather seat that sits 808mm off the ground. Yacouba Galle, designer of the Feline One, said: ‘For 10 years I tested the best machines around the world and my conclusion has been to make a synthesis of two worlds : the best that I encountered and my vision of the motorbike of the future, FELINE was born!' Yacouba says the Feline is planned for release in 2016 in limited numbers with prices starting at $280,000. (visordown)
