Keanu Reeves’ Arch Motorcycle Unveils Sleek and Sexy Method 143
Keanu Reeves has been known for many of his roles in films like The Matrix and The Devil’s Advocate, but recently, he has been making a name for himself in the motorcycling industry. Vocal about his passion and interest in riding motorcycles, he co-founded Arch Motorcycle Company that builds and sells custom motorcycles.
Arch Motorcycle’s custom creations have evolved from a standard off-the-shelf- custom Harley into an individualistic limited edition Method 143 power cruiser. Described to be ‘the first concept production motorcycle featuring a carbon fiber mono-cell chassis’, the limited edition bike is limited indeed to only 23 units.
The newly minted bike comes with a carbon fiber frame with the upper bodywork and seat made from fine leather, carbon fiber, and CNC machined aluminum. Its motor is a huge 2400cc S7S V-twin engine and an integrated fuel tank, with a built-in smartphone dock.
With racing quality brakes, it has ISR six-piston monobloc radial mount calipers at the front and similar four-piston calipers at the rear. Front and rear suspension, meanwhile, is by Ohlins with the tuning specified by Arch.
