Fueling competion in the Indian luxury motorcycle market, Vardenchi- Moto Morini, today unveiled Vardenchi T5- India's first ultra premium motorcycle at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo. The motorcycle is designed and developed at Vardenchi's state-of-the-art facility in Navi Mumbai, while the engine is from Moto Morini in Italy.
Type is the segmenting nomenclature at Vardenchi, so the fact that after a type 1,2,3 and 4 launching a type 5 (T5) its obviously revolutionary. The concept at Vardenchi has always been to create stunning, motorcycles which have the highest design at aesthetic value along with supreme ride quality. With the T5 the idea was to introduce a ride with a lot more brute force and muscle. The obvious choice for the power house was overseas and particularly Italy. Moto Morini's 1200 cc v12 engine is one of the most desirable source of power and performance that a motorcyclist can dream of.
Since the Moto Morini engine is built for sports scramblers and sports tourers a lot of work went into blending the typical trellis frame into on suited for Vardenchi, which is indeed of a lifestyle ride stance. Keeping the drive train chain driven rear tyre is a 200X17" while the front is 19" tyre. the first draft or a concept that we have created has spoke wheels to bring classic aura however thr production models will have custom alloys with the option of spoked wheels. twin exhaust one on each side of the under belly and trellis swing arm are some unique features that the T5 adorns. the T5 will have instrumentation and Brembo disk dual in front and single at rear. the rear shock will be an Ohlins the front is a Marzocchi upside down unit.
But feature aside what we tried to capture with this Vardenchi is the essence of a classic motorcycle in the body of modern beast.
