Says Achim of 51° Nord Custom Motorcycles:
FT stands for “Flat Track” – and that became our design principle: stripped of all unnecessary weight, ultra-agile, and retaining the technical DNA of the original. The result shows what Honda could have built back then: a street-legal Flat Tracker – far ahead of its time.
The experience: Nothing but joyful riding!
