Starting up the Langen 'Two Stroke'

Ah, the sound and smell of a 2-stroke. Delicious. New British motorcycle company, Langen, launched the Two Stroke this week at Salon Privé and owner, Christofer Ratcliffe, sent us this video of the bike being started at the show - it's never been seen before! Using a 249cc, 90º V-twin engine with a 14,500rpm red line and advanced fuel-and-oil injected unit developed by Vins Motors in Italy that produces 75bhp. The total weight of the bike is just 114kg (251lbs) and it's handmade in the UK in strictly limited numbers. Starting price is £28k + VAT The chassis is made by hand from large-diameter, laser cut aluminium tubing, with bonded and machined connection points. Light, Ohlins front forks and British K-Tech rear shocks control the nimble machine. The bodywork, including the fuel tank is made from hand-laid carbon fibre, as is the gold leaf detailing. The initial build will be limited to 100 individually numbered Two Strokes, which will be road legal in the UK. Production is targeted to begin in summer 2021. A further 150 motorcycles will be produced starting 2022, which will be available in homologated form for road use in other countries around the world (ABS, different indicators, slightly less noise and slightly less power with an option for a 'not for road use' upgrade). The total number of builds will be strictly limited to 250 bikes, each of them built to order.
