Next Shelby to be Two-Wheeler

Famed auto racer and builder Carroll Shelby is finally turning his attention to motorcycles.

According to Gizmag the 84 year-old tuner showed off a new bike at the Cincinnati V-Twin Expo. The project is a joint effort of Carroll Shelby International and Rucker Performance. Plans call for a production model to be available later this year offering riders 128 cubic inches pumping out 150 horses. The formula is classic Shelby, huge motor stuffed in a lightweight frame.

Rucker Performance would build the bikes at their facility in Fort Worth, Texas.

"You see things vacationing on a motorcycle in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame."
