The Hurakàn Harley Café Racer, the motorcycle you're going to want to test-ride

No, you won’t find it on the market, but we’re sure you’ll want it no matter what. This is a custom build created to celebrate the acquisition of MV Agusta by Harley Davidson, assembled by FMW Motorcycles and handmade entirely, using parts and components from both brands that come together to create a one-off motorcycle that looks this good and hides many surprises.

The foundation of this motorcycle is a 1968 Harley Davidson Shovel, which offered its frame so that the various elements shaping the model could be installed on it. At the front, a Showa fork from the MV F4 has been fitted, which gives it its eye-catching look. The brakes chosen are two Nissin calipers, six-piston at the front and a Performance Machine caliper at the rear.

The bodywork was hand-formed, using 3 mm aluminium as the material, so that it can comfortably withstand engine vibrations. Other elements such as the tank and tail have been designed to effectively conceal all the wiring for the electronic components that form part of this special model, which, although it has a vintage look, hides a lot of current technology.

All the information the rider needs is available thanks to a Motogadgets Motoscope Pro instrument cluster, which provides everything needed to read speed and other essential data. The exhaust is another element that draws attention: two 45 mm collectors and a custom-made silencer.

The front headlight comes from the MV Brutale, while the wheels were taken from Harley with steel spokes and Morad finishes. As for the engine, this motorcycle, which required six months of craftsmanship, uses an S&S twin-cylinder block with 1,600 cc. The transmission consists of a BDL belt and chain, while the gearbox comes from a Softail from the 1990s, modified to deliver all the performance this unique model needs.
