FALKOR
Our first motorcycle was officially completed in February 2019.
Its conception took more than 2 years, from the original idea to the final release, and about 500 hours of work.
This project was born in Charles’ mind, back when he lived and worked in Munich, Germany, as an innovation consultant.
There, he had this 1977 Yamaha XS 360 for his personal use and started working on it. After a few necessary improvements, he decided to push it further and rebuild the bike his own way.
Despite very little afterwork time, a limited budget and friends constantly teasing him on how long it would take to finally finish the motorcycle, Charles never gave up.
And the outcome was worth it : perfect lines, a clean design and subtle details, turning the XS 360 into a collectible motorcycle.
After these 2 years of hard work, there was only one final step left to complete the bike : give it a name.
It came as an evidence : “Falkor”, after the white dragon from The Never-ending Story.
