AMERICAN MADE : Arch Motorcycles

AMERICAN MADE

The year is 2011, the official beginning of Arch Motorcycles. When you have an idea and the money to back it up one reward can be the KRGT-1 motorcycle, the first production bike of the newly formed company. The author of this company is Keanu Reeves, a wellknown Hollywood actor. In real-life, as they say, he is just a guy with a bike and an idea for a better bike. Mr. Reeves enjoyed riding motorcycles, getting a taste of what was available and how different models and brands rode and performed. Then he wanted to make one of his own and discovered there were talented folks who could fabricate his ideas. One man in particular was Gard Hollinger. It took some convincing, but Mr. Reeves was able to share his vision and Mr. Hollinger agreed to try to execute his ideas. Success!!

Arch motorcycles can be spoken in the same breath with Robin Leach and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. There is nothing common about this bike. Every unit made by Arch is a custom product. When you are looking at a base price of $85,000.00 this bike needs to be built to fit the bottom that is going to sit on it with any custom feature that will make the buyer comfortable. Each component of each unit is fabricated with the highest quality material and craftsmanship. Arch also offers continued follow-up care and servicing on an individual personal level.

The KRGT-1 design grew out of a need, a need to do something splendid, just because Keanu Reeves wanted to. This bike is sleek and clean, large but not massive, happiest on the challenging twisty roads where its elegant noise can echo off canyon walls or disappear across the open land. You won’t acquire a KRGT-1 off a showroom floor, you will make an appointment and meet with the designers to personally fashion your bike. Then you will wait while they build it for you, piece by fabulous piece meticulously formed and fitted together to breathtaking perfection. Then you can forget how much it cost and just be grateful for your good fortune.
