Computer generated images or CGI according to wikipedia: “is the application of the field of computer graphics (or more specifically, 3D computer graphics) to special effects in films, television programs, commercials, simulators and simulation generally, and printed media.” It allows for the creation of realistic images and animations which are so realistic they fool the […]
In the photo you can see the size differences between the original Honda CBR 954 chassis and the new trellis built for the Bott 1000 Morlaco. One of our objectives in the design stage was to achieve a smaller and narrower bike than the original one, mainly in the area that the rider embraces with

En la imagen se aprecia claramente la diferencia de tamaño que existe entre el chasis original de la Honda CBR 954 y el chasis de la Bott 1000 Morlaco. Uno de nuestros objetivos en la etapa de diseño fue conseguir una moto más pequeña y más estrecha que la Honda original, sobre todo en la

In the photo you can see the fueltank model mounted on the bike. One advantage about building the fueltank using composites is that it is possible to create more complex shapes than using aluminium, for example (building an aluminium fueltank with this shape would be very complex). This allows to take more profit of the

My good friend Jose Garcia is a true rendering artist, normally I give him the 3D models and he generates images as nice as this one, which I add to the bottpower flickr gallery. I must give him new virtual parts, because in the real motorbike, some things changed regarding what you can see in

Leo en Cycleworld un artículo sobre una monocilíndrica 450 4T creada por Rolland Sands. Lo interesante de esta moto de carreras es que además del motor, el chasis y el basculante provienen de una moto de cross (una Honda CRF 450). Una forma inteligente de crear una moto de carreras efectiva, sencilla y económica. Según comentan podría dar

En la foto podéis ver el modelo del depósito de gasolina colocado en la moto. Una ventaja de construir el depósito con materiales compuestos es que podemos crear formas más complejas que usando aluminio, por ejemplo. Esto permite aprovechar mejor el espacio disponible, aumentando así la capacidad del depósito. [tags]bottpower, morlaco, deposito, gasolina, construccion[/tags]

For the fueltank construction, I thought about 3 possibilities: steel, aluminum and composites (carbon fiber, fiberglass, kevlar). Taking into account my limited means and knowledge I choosed the last option. The technical FIM rules explain in a quite precise way (in this document) the requirements that a composite fueltank must fulfill in order to be

A parte de la Morlaco de carreras, pensé en desarrollar una variante de calle que fuera más o menos una “concept bike”. Mi idea para esta variante de la Morlaco es que fuera una moto que se comunicara con el piloto. Os preguntaréis que cómo. Siempre me ha fascinado el hecho de que la técnica

Besides the Morlaco race bike, I wanted to develop a street variant which was more or less a concept bike. The idea for this Morlaco variant was a bike which communicated with the rider. How?, I hear you ask. I’m always fascinated by technique which is shown to the world like for instance this Suzuki
