For a single with a Chinese copy of an old Husky engine 
That's even more expensive than the Spitfire started at isn't it?

Re: Mac Motorcycles
I wonder if they sell a big one....

Re: Mac Motorcycles
Difficult to know their business plan and how many units they need to shift to make this profitable, but I can't help but think they'll hang around for a couple of years and then go bust?
Whilst they look good and I'm guessing there's a load of work gone into them, I'm not sure many people will be throwing £15k at them. Hopefully I'm wrong though?

Re: Mac Motorcycles
I'll be impressed if they sell ANY ! I'm happy to accept 'special' builds, but they do need to have something special about them.

Re: Mac Motorcycles
Clever way to disguise all the empty space in the frame - put another motorcycle behind the first one.
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

Re: Mac Motorcycles
The article seems to suggest they are hoping to sell a couple of hundred bikes a year, I think they'd be lucky to get anywhere close to that.Nordboy wrote: Thu Jun 04, 2026 10:22 am Difficult to know their business plan and how many units they need to shift to make this profitable

Re: Mac Motorcycles
The red one looks particularly nasty, both horrible. Everything else out there is probably better looking.

Re: Mac Motorcycles
They were in one of Richard Hammond's smallest cog episodes. He does the paintwork for them. It's two blokes in a shed.
Good luck to them but I'm not seeing anything special about the bike. CCM couldn't sell enough bespoke small single cylinder bikes to survive, this doesn't look a lot different.
If they'd sourced a mid sized twin I think they'd have had a better chance.
