Motoczysz to enter TTXGP?
A rather cryptic message has appeared on the website for Motoczysz, the fledgling would-be motorcycle manufacturer that's been hard at work developing an American-made, race-ready two-wheeler. It's been months since the last update, which, according to The Kneeslider, is apparently due to an accident that badly damaged the firm's prototype.
Under the title TTXGP, a quote that seems to be attributed to Michael Czysz indicates that the company may enter a zero-emission vehicle in the upcoming time trial:
"It became very apparent to me that I was working to catch up in an era coming to an end – maybe I should set off and try to lead in an era arriving." -MCOur guess would be that Motoczysz has shifted its efforts towards the development of a fully-electric or hybrid motorcycle, but that's currently just speculation. We'll know more soon, as April 8th is the day that the TTXGP plans to spill the beans on all 20-25 teams that are taking part in the event. Stay tuned.

Wow, a good looking american made sport bike! I didn't think it was possible. Looks a whole better than the only other US sport bike: Buell.

I've sat on it, once, and its beautiful. They designed it from the ground up in 9 months, and spent the rest of the time fine tuning it.... Its really a piece of art. Michael and his team did a great job putting that thing together.
I can't wait to see what they're working on now.... they're just up the road from me... not only america, but from Portland too!

Wow that's cool. See if you can't sneak in a test ride of their EV motorcycle and give us a review :)

What a superbike !! MotoCzysz is a Portland, Oregon, based motorcycle company that intends to compete in the MotoGP. The C1 prototype has an engine with perfect balance that did not need to make use of a balance shaft. Some of the patented innovations include a slipper clutch with twin clutches, a unique front suspension, and many others. - Used Car Dealers.

Yes! I saw the Motoczysz at the Laguna MotoGP in 2005. It looked incredible, but I could only think to myself - "paper tiger". If Kenny Roberts couldn't make the KR work with all of his connections, how would Michael Czysz?
I hope this is the direction they are going. Maybe Michael Czysz will be the John Britten of electric motorcycles. I would love to see them at TTXGP.
