Method 143 by Arch Motorcycles is The Ultimate Motorcycle - TheArsenale

Looking for the ARCH Method 143 for sale? The Method 143 is the ultimate custom motorcycle from ARCH Motorcycles, the brand co-founded by actor Keanu Reeves and engineer Gard Hollinger. Hand built to each owner's preferences around a carbon mono-shell frame and a massive V-twin engine, it sits at the very top of the ARCH line-up and is produced in extremely limited numbers, which is exactly why finding one available is so rare.

 

What is the ARCH Method 143?

ARCH Motorcycles is the brainchild of actor Keanu Reeves and engineer Gard Hollinger. One of Reeves' passions is motorcycle building, even though most people know him for his films. Unveiled at EICMA in Milan, the Method 143 is the ultimate custom motorcycle coming out of the ARCH shop: its flagship offering and the top of the line-up. As with every ARCH, the motorcycles are entirely hand made and customized to each owner's preferences, using a carbon mono-shell frame and bodywork crafted from exclusive materials like CNC machined aluminium, leather and carbon fiber. According to ARCH Motorcycle, the Method 143 is produced in a strictly limited run, underlining its status as a true collector machine.

What engine and specs does the Method 143 have?

One of the most impressive facts about the motorcycle is its 2433cc engine. The single sided swingarm is designed by ARCH and manufactured by Suter Industries, CNC machined out of a solid block of aluminum and covered by a carbon fiber panel. Most interestingly, the leather seat is integrated directly into the CNC machined bodywork. Instead of a traditional dashboard, a mobile inspired display designed by ARCH Motorcycles is installed. The front fork is an Ohlins FGRT with a carbon fiber air-foil, and the exhaust system is full titanium and carbon fiber, inspired by MotoGP racing motorcycles. Up front, the headlight has been designed in house by ARCH to match the incredible design. As The Drive reported from its EICMA debut, the Method 143 marked a major step for the brand's ambitions as a serious motorcycle manufacturer.

Can you buy the ARCH Method 143?

The Method 143 is one of the most attractive motorcycles built to date, and like every ARCH it is made to order in tiny numbers, which makes availability extremely limited. If you are hunting for a Method 143 for sale, the realistic path is the wider world of premium custom and limited-run motorcycles, where similarly handcrafted machines come up for collectors.
