Ronin 47 Motorcycle Project Was Based by Buell 1125 from Harley Davidson

When Harley Davidson announced the elimination of Buell brand, founders of Ronin Motor Works were disappointed. They have always respected Buell motorcycle philosophy that is challenging Status Quo, the Buell 1125 series with a liquid cooled engine looked like the start of interesting times in motorcycle world. Since the production of this cool vehicle was ceased, Magpul Industries Corp managed to get 2 Buell 1125Rs which are used as design exercise to explore what kind of bike can be built around this revolutionary engine and frame. The result is Ronin 47 Motorcycle.

This cool design is based on 1125 where the front end features a linkage fork designed for better handling characteristic of stock Buell chassis. Just in case you haven’t noticed, the axle moves along the same path as a conventional set of telescopic forks. The increased trail by 13mm over stock allows this bike steers lightly yet can be handled confidently. The benefit of this design over a telescopic fork is that you can have easily tunable suspension through the Penske mono-shock for finer adjustment of rider’s weight and any road environments.
