It is always interesting to see what motorcycle engineers work on in their spare time. Sometimes its motorcycle related, and sometimes their inspiration goes down a completely different path. Luckily for us, in the case of Bottpower’s David Sánchez, the Spanish engineer’s very limited free time stayed within the two-wheeled realm.

A project spanning 11 years, Sánchez started his design with a Honda CBR954RR engine as the centerpiece, and built from there. Employing a Hossack-style trellis for the front-end, and a matching steal trellis chassis (in orange, naturally), Sánchez has picked up the nearly complete project once again, after recently finishing the BOTT XR1 project, and has some renders to show for the final design.

Going from fully faired sport bike to naked street bike, the BOTT 1000 Morlaco has that same outside-of-the-box feel that you get when looking at the work of Italian house Vyrus. Using Bottpower’s CR2 electronics package that Gabor Talmacsi will race with in World Superbike this season, the Morlaco isn’t just a pretty face, there’s a brain up there too…and Sánchez highlights it with a prominent mounting point at the airbox cover.

Sans fairings, covers, or really any bodywork to speak of, you could say that the BOTT 1000 Morlaco is process in function over form, but then agin, the pictures tell a different story. Check them out after the jump, and follow the build on Bottpower’s website.
