De notre côté de la channel, on pouvait trouver ça !

trademark: Koehler Escoffier
type: 1000 cc recordmachine
year of manufacture: 1935
country of origin: France
This motorcycle is known as one of the most beautiful French racing machines of all time. Only 13 of this type were built between 1927 and 1935.
The model in the picture is from the racing motorist Georges Monneret and is a unique sample.
The first model of 1927 produced 35 PK at 5500 rpm, and due to this power the owner had to put special glue on the rim to prevent slipping at the start. It was one of the most
modern motorcycles in that time which made unique performance. The Koehler Escoffier was tuned by Georges Monneret up to 78 HP when using alcohol as fuel.
Specifications: 4 stroke, 45 degrees V twin engine, air-cooled, 980 cc (79 x 100 mm), 78 HP at 6200
rpm (on alcohol), 2 x SOHC, 2 Amal RN carburators, magneto
ignition, 4 gears, drum brakes, front tyre 21", back tyre
19", mass about 180 kg, maximum speed 200 km/h.

Photo un peu petite, mais on peut quand même admirer la beauté mécanique.

Tu rigoles mais cette becane integrait deja de alliages a base d'alu et de magnesium dans la fabrication. 180kg pour l'epoque !
De plus, le carburant a base d'alcool avait une combustion ultra complete. La preuve, on y revient aujourd'hui avec les bio-carburant.
