Naming the bike KR GT-1 might indeed seem less than imaginative and totally not at all appealing. But as the Kr comes from Keanu Reeves and we're talking about a prototype bike he and Gard Hollinger of Arch Motorcycle have created, things start to move in the right direction, don't they?
First of all, we're talking about a bike which has evolved along several years. It's Keanu's 2005 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide, which started modifying in 2007, together with Hollinger. Over time, the bike had gotten a completely new identity and a a new company was born: Arch Motorcycle.
The KR GT-1 is so dramatically different from the original Wide Glide than it would rather take a Harley expert to tell it, at least form afar. Basically everything has been modified, save for the engine.
The frame is a remarkable proof of Gard's magic touch: it's not quite easy to turn a chopper into a streetfighter that still performs well and boasts a killer look. The floating swingarm is coupled to an all-new CNC aluminium subframe. The tail of the KR GT-1 is short, fighter-style and the overall metallic shine of the bike looks awesome, in a beautiful contrast with the golden usd fork.
