With turbo V2
Langen Lightspeed 1200: fastest bike in the world
Turbo technology only had a brief heyday in motorcycle construction. A small company from England wants to change that.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Langen, a young manufacturer of exclusive motorcycles from England, wants to build the fastest production motorcycle in the world. The basis is the Lightspeed 1200 model presented in 2023 with a 185 hp Rotax V2. This is boosted to up to 300 hp with turbo assistance.
In contrast to the turbocharged motorcycles of the 1980s, the LS12 Turbo will no longer suffer from turbo lag and a power delivery that is difficult to control. Engine management and physical control systems should ensure that the rider always has the horsepower under control.
In "Road" driving mode, the power output remains limited to around 250 hp. The manufacturer intends to announce exact key data at a later date.
Langen intends to start series production of the Lightspeed 1200 before the end of this year. Exactly when the first turbo bikes will be available remains to be seen. Prices are likely to be well over 50,000 euros - plus VAT in Austria.
Langen presented its first model in 2020 with the naked bike Two Stroke, which is limited to 250 units and is not yet sold out.
