Lotus Motorcycles C-01 bike revealed!!!

Following two years of development Lotus Motorcycles revealed the C-01, a licensed by Lotus motorbike built by Kodewa Performance Motorcycles in only 100 units. The C-01 motorcycle is not designed, engineered or produced by Group Lotus plc but is the result of a collaboration between motorsport veterans under the leadership of Kodewa, lead by Dr Colin Kolles. The development on the C-01 was carried out with the support of Holzer Group (co-owners of Kalex) and design guru Daniel Simon. Drawing on their wealth of motorsport experience, the team of engineers has designed a unique high performance superbike.

The engine of the new Lotus C01 is a a 1195cc V-twin from KTM's RC8R superbike with a claimed 200bhp and dry weight of 180kg. The C-01 will be available in a range of liveries some of which pay homage to Lotus' sporting pedigree. A customisation service is also available.
