It’s a long, long way from the Confederate Wraith \u2013 the bike that together with some tidying-up of the Hellcat established JT Nesbitt’s design credentials on the world stage \u2013 and if I’m totally honest, I’m still getting my head round it, but the Bienville Legacy using a Motus ‘Baby Block’ V4 motor has taken him into a whole new realm. And it’s coming to Goodwood, to the Festival of Speed on 25-28th June 2015, to take on the hill climb.<\/p>\n

“Born from Bienville Studios in New Orleans, Louisiana, the JT Nesbitt-designed Legacy has been in development for over three years and is widely acknowledged as one of the finest examples of two-wheeled design ever produced.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The Legacy advances motorcycle design with patented suspension leveraging one composite leaf-spring with the engine mounted at its centre. Carbon-composite blades allow for rake and trail adjustment for the first time on a production motorcycle.<\/em><\/p>\n

“Three concept models have been produced to-date, establishing an exquisite bill of materials in titanium, carbon fibre, leather, and mahogany. Powered by the American-made 1650cc Motus V4 engine, production models will be supercharged and provide up to 300bhp.<\/em><\/p>\n

You will possibly recognise the composite Girder fork up front, but the rest is typically JT pushing the boundaries as he did with the Wraith, where he re-imagined motorcycle technology coming from aircraft roots rather than a bicycle with an engine in the middle. Make of it what you will, but the imagination and the quality of the execution is staggering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
