Here's a couple of exotic bikes you're not likely to see
down at your local dealers.
Firstly the Matchless name has been resurrected
with the Model X Reloaded. The bike uses a 1,900cc S&S V twin engine. Its
produced by the Malenotti family who are notable for making the Belstaff brand
fashionable - a feat I'd have though impossible. The original Model X was
produced in the 1930's, also with a V twin engine.

Over to New Orleans for the Bienville Legacy. This crazy
looking creation is possibly the ugliest bike I've ever seen but is interesting
in that it uses the V four 1,650cc Motus engine from the long awaited MST
sports tourer. In the Legecy it has been supercharge to produce over 300 bhp!
The front & rear suspension consists of a single composite material leaf
spring.
Radical would be an understatement!
