MotoGP rider McWilliams Rides the C1!!



Jeremy McWilliams, easily the most experienced test rider in the industry, rode the MotoCzysz 07 C1-990 for the first time in a private test at the Miller Motorsports Park in Tooelle, UT June 20, 2007. McWilliams test and development experience includes the Aprilia cube MotoGP bike, both KR 3 cylinder 2-stroke and 5 cylinder 4-stroke machines, BMW’s 990 and 800 MotoGP prototypes and the Buell XB9RR. Currently McWilliams is under contracted by Ilmor to develop and race their 800cc MotoGP machine; Jeremy’s experience is very relevant. So when Jeremy says a bike does this or that he is comparing it to the best motorcycles in the world. Even more importantly, Jeremy can gage progress and potential better than all, most, or any other as he has first hand experience with world class bikes in different stages of development. In fact it was the time-frame and money spent to date on the C1 that actually impressed McWilliams nearly as much - or more - than the handling of the motorcycle itself.



Though the MotoCzysz first broke cover January 05, that was with a proof of concept machine utilizing many “borrowed” parts, the clean sheet design for the 07 C1- 990 prototype that Jeremy rode at Miller started December 05. That is nearly 2,000 parts designed, engineered and specified or manufactured in 20 months and MotoCzysz owns these parts, we have “borrowed” nothing from an existing motorcycle manufacturer.

Jeremy told a journalist after his ride that the C1 was “the best turning bike ever”.



MotoCzysz has become increasingly confident that Czysz’s theories were actually resulting in a better handling motorcycle. “We can now consider the design frozen for the first model and focus entirely on the final stage of engine development and prepare for production. Listening to Jeremy talk about how easy it was to turn and transition our bike in comparison with everything he has ridden was simply one of the best things I have ever heard” said Michael Czysz.

“Not only do we expect to meet our goals for this new engine, we might exceed them” Michael Czysz

The Magic Ride- Review of 06 Testing
_{January 12th, 2007}



To kick off the new year, we want to share this video compilation of footage from our 06 track tests of the 07 C1 990. From the first cautious lap, each session marked improvements in handling and speed. The bikes have exceeded our expectations, and with 2006 behind us and new components ready for the track, we anxiously await putting the hammer down at our next test only weeks away.
