If you’re into very expensive and very exlusive Italian made motorcycles, and who wouldn’t be if you had a lot of greenbacks or euros just laying around, then NCR’s latest models, the NCR M4 and NCR M4 One Shot are for you.
Unveiled at the 7th annual Barber Vintage Festival last Saturday, these mouthwatering new lightweight (286 lbs and 278 lbs for the M4 and M4 One Shot) street legal motorcycles that can go from street to race trim in just five minutes, comes with two very hefty price tags $49,900 and $69,900, but what the hell if you want exotic and exclusiveness you’ve got to pay for it.
The NCR M4 has an air-cooled 1100cc Ducati EVO engine and produces 107 hp at 7,500 rpm, torque of 84 ft-lbs (115 Nm) while the One Shot has a NCR Ducati 1200 air-cooled EVO motor complete with billet stroker crank, titanium connecting rods, titanium hardware throughout and NCR-EVR slipper clutch.
The NCR M4 One Shot produces 132 hp at 8,700 rpm, torque of 105 ft-lbs of torque (143 Nm).
“It is difficult to describe what a 278 lbs, 1200cc street bike feels like because it is not like anything you have tried before.
After riding a NCR M4, it is difficult to enjoy riding a motorcycle weighing 100 to 150 lbs more, regardless of the amount of horsepower it may have,” said NCR M4 designer and NCR C.
