MotoCzysz approaches record pace at LVMS

2008-03-18

During their latest and ultimately most successful test to date, MotoCzysz lapped LVMS at a blistering pace. “We felt the bike could have achieved record lap times today” said Czysz. The event was to be a typical test to evaluate all the new parts on the latest C1 and MotoCzysz followed a very specific testing matrix. However, on Tuesday night after reviewing the data from the previous day Czysz asked his engineers for a new strategy and series of algorithms for the fly by wire throttles and engine management system. Working late into the evening, MotoCzysz engineers reconfigured several pages of code and Czysz estimated over 100 data points. By the 3rd outing the following morning the bike had been transformed. All the strides the team had made in increasing combustion efficiency and reducing friction back at the shop in Portland along with the trackside improved software elevated the MotoCzysz C1 into a bike that circulated the track like a motorcycle that could have been engineered in Japan, a motorcycle that could have been designed in Italy - but sounded like a motorcycle that could have only been made in America.
