Keanu Reeves Starring Cyberpunk 2077 To Feature Arch Method 143

Cyberpunk arch

Cyberpunk 2077, an upcoming open-world role-playing video game is highly awaited for all the right reasons. Movie enthusiasts would be glad to know that our beloved Keanu Reeves stars in the game. Discerning motorcycle aficionados would also be aware that Keanu has his own high-end, bespoke motorcycle brand, Arch Motorcycle Company. In a perfect marriage of the virtual world and the pursuit of custom motorcycling, one of the brand’s bikes, the Arch Method 143, will be featured in the game, albeit in a tastefully done futuristic form. In fact, Keanu and his partner-designer Gard Hollinger have been working on capturing the essence of the bike for players to enjoy in the game. Drool over this behind the scenes video:

The makers of Cyberpunk 2077 (Poland-based CD Projekt Red) have taken inspiration from the Method 143 and added a creative futuristic twist to the game. It gets a rather compact yet presumably powerful powerplant with a twin exhaust system, solid wheels, and an authentic, raw V-twin engine note as Keanu puts it “...the source will be pure!” They have even gone to the extent of creating a detailed first person view of the cockpit, complete with a functional fully digital instrument cluster.

The bike in real life is powered by a massive 2,343cc S&S air-cooled V-twin engine that’s good for 172PS of power and about 200Nm of torque. It nestles inside America’s first production carbon-fibre mono-cell motorcycle chassis linked to an inverted front fork and a rear monoshock mounted on a single-sided swingarm, both from Ohlins and fully adjustable.

It features several performance enhancing bits with painful attention to detail like the machined aluminium fuel tank, tail section, billet aluminium headlamp cowl, carbon-fibre fork aero-foils, front and rear fender, and even a set of turbine-style carbon-fibre wheels. And oh, the dual MotoGP-inspired exhaust by SC Project is made from a combination of titanium, carbon fibre and billet aluminium. Of course, all the cool engineering commands exclusivity. It takes 90 days to build a bike and production is limited to just 23 units.

Method game

The details of how to unlock/acquire the motorcycle will be revealed when the game releases on November 19, 2020. We hope this game will be well worth its salt. After all, it’s made by CD Projekt Red that has won many accolades, particularly for The Witcher series, for its incredible storyline and lore, soulful character development as well as addictive gameplay.

Also read: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC: First Ride Review   While every other bike manufacturer seems to be coming up with its own vision of what a neo-retro scrambler should look like, the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC has stuck to its guns by staying as close to the original British scramblers of yore as possible. Also read:  Family Feud: Triumph Scrambler 1200 XC vs Tiger 800 XCx   The minimalist design means that there is little to no bodywork to damage. Off-road crash protection is limited to just an aluminium bash-plate, so you might want to invest in knuckle protectors, engine guards and the usual protection kit.   Modern bits come in the form of Triumph’s second-gen colour TFT screen. It has two themes and relays a

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike.  For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed
