Carroll Shelby Teams With Rucker Performance To Build Ultimate American Performance Motorcycle
May 2007 - Drag Specialties:
One of the highlights of the recently held V-Twin Expo at Cincinnati was the unveiling of the all-new Shelby motorcycle. The limited edition high performance motorcycle was developed in partnership with Rucker Performance and famed automobile designer Carroll Shelby.
"It's no secret that stuffing a powerful American motor into a lightweight chassis has been my formula for success," noted Carroll Shelby, CEO of Shelby Automobiles. "Working with Bill Rucker and his team, we've taken this same approach on the new Shelby motorcycle. My team at Shelby Automobiles has worked closely with Rucker Performance to create a motorcycle that offers the same thrill as driving my Cobra."
The heart of the powerhouse is a new S&S X-Wedge 128 cu. in. engine with closed loop VFI fuel injection that will reportedly churn out 150 horsepower. Production is scheduled to begin soon and will include up to 25 motorcycles available for purchase by the third quarter of 2007. a second batch is scheduled to be produced in the fall.
