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.
