This exclusive
modified Honda single cylinder niche motorcycle has a look unique to
anything on the road. It has a very low center of gravity. Unlike
other motorcycles, the rider sits below the top of the tires with
the feet in a forward position. The fuel tank is mounted below the
seat and behind the engine. Gurney originally moved in this design
direction because he is tall and many bikes made him feel as if he
were pitching forward when going downhill. The Alligator is this
concept taken to its logical extreme. What works so well for tall
people works equally well for people with shorter legs. They do not
have any trouble getting on or off the bike, and are no longer
worried about falling over at a standstill. Being closer to the
ground, they feel much more comfortable and safe. This low CG
concept has been developed and refined over the years into something
quite extraordinary: A motorcycle with a comfortable riding
position, an overall safer, confidence-inspiring riding feel,
obvious and significant aerodynamic benefits, and most important of
all, a fun factor to match.
