I promise you that I’m trying to be better about featuring cheaper motorcycles that normal people can actually snap up, but I still thought this post from BikeEXIF was worth sharing. We live in a world where the average rider can’t utilize even 80% of the performance from a modern supersport like a BMW S1000RR on public roads, yet exotic bike companies keep pushing out bikes that push the performance envelope. Why not a “luxury” sportbike? French engineer Olivier Midy has tried to take that on with the Midual Type, a motorcycle less focused on lap times and more on…giving you instrumentation on the gas tank, I guess.
It’s definitely worth a closer look, so check out this write-up from BikeEXIF for more details, or go straight to the Midual website. Better bring that wallet, though – estimated MSRP will be $185,000.
