We here at Asphalt & Rubber are big fans of the work that Bottpower is churning out, and whether your particular poison is the Bottpower M211 Moto2 race bike, the Bottpower BOTT 1000 Morlaco street bike, or Bottpower XR1 street tracker, the small Spanish company has a little something for everyone. Next up for Bottpower is a cafe racer, which is based off the company’s latest creation, the XR1. Though the first iteration is almost ready for a customer, so far Bottpower has only given us some renders of the rolling chassis for public consumption. Like the XR1, a donor Buell XB is used for its engine, brakes, and suspension (the first XC1 will use only a Buell motor however), which makes this machine more of a do-it-yourself kit for the mechanically inclined.
