ECOSSE Moto Works built a custom all-titanium series motorcycle with a custom
BRM timepiece for the Robb Report, a magazine about luxury which features big
ticket items. The BRM timepiece on this unique motorcycle series is an
automatic chronograph with a brushed titanium bezel and a 48mm hexagonal face
that reveals the watch's mechanics.
Titanium Series Motorcycle with K&N Air Filter
Only ten of the $275,000 ultimate street bikes will be available for purchase
and all ten will be equipped with an over-sized K&N XStream Top High-Flow Air
Filter (
RX-4130-1). Besides the titanium chassis, BST carbon fiber wheels,
Ohlins gas forks and TTX shock, there is a 2150cc supercharged, inter-cooled
electronic fuel injected powerplant engine.
“Everything on this ECOSSE Titanium Series motorcycle has best of class
components,” said Wendy Atchinson co-founder of ECOSSE Moto Works. “K&N, in our
opinion, is the best.”
It took 11 months to create the first one. “It is very difficult to get titanium
and to work with it,” said Atchinson. “Fortunately, we have very skilled welders
who are able to purge the oxygen while working with titanium. Everything was
done by hand.”
Donald Atchinson is the mechanical engineer and co-founder of ECOSSE Moto
Works. “He designs all the motorcycles and I handle the business side,” said
Wendy Atchinson. “The titanium bike was his vision and its power to weight ratio
is phenomenal. It gets more than 200 horsepower at the rear wheel and more than 210 ft. lbs. of torque.
It weighs in at 440 pounds.”
Every motorcycle in the series of ten will have “Titanium Series RR Limited
Edition” and the serial number engraved on the handlebar clamp and VIN plate.
The boutique French watchmaker, BRM has incorporated the lines of the ECOSSE
into a matching timepiece and both the bike and watch share the same color
scheme. The watches will also be engraved with the same serial number as its
motorcycle.
