Noticias ALEJANDRO Posted March 22, 2024 Posted March 22, 2024 The craftsman makes his living working as a designer with 3D CAD programs, so before touching the first screw he spent countless hours digitally studying every detail of the project: chassis, wheels, front suspension... Rick assures that the motorcycle is going for the best. version 28, that is, since he began this work in 2007 he has made almost 30 different digital versions. The most incredible thing is that several of the digital projects were later built down to the last screw and then started again from scratch. “I'm ashamed to admit it but it took me almost 13 years to have a motorcycle capable of riding on the road. It's easy to get obsessed with changing this and that during the design, but there comes a time when you have to stop and start making the bike,” Rick Denoon confessed to our colleagues at bikeexif.com. “The rear suspension was designed using Tony Foale's software so that the shock absorber from a Honda CBR600RR could be used. The software allows you to know the vectors and forces that affect the rear wheel through the swingarm,” explained the craftsman. Adding a turbo meant having to use electronic injection in the inline four-cylinder of the Honda CB400F. The result was that the power measured at the crankshaft went from 37 HP to 65 HP. “It works as if it were a modern motorcycle due to the suspensions, brakes and geometry. I can guarantee it because in the last four years I have done about 28,000 km with it,” concluded Rick Denoon. Click
