Production of the first half of the Limited Edition Gurney ALLIGATOR Motorcycle is nearing completion. This production run has sold out and most of the motorcycles have been delivered to riders and collectors around the country. The second half of production will start in the coming weeks.

Since its introduction about a year ago, the ALLIGATOR has received worldwide attention. This unique, some call it revolutionary, motorcycle has been the subject of feature articles in major motorcycle/car publications here and abroad and has been extensively profiled in various television shows. The response from journalists and clients alike:

GURNEY BUILT ONE FASCINATING MACHINE !

AUTOWEEK, May 2002

"Gurney’s Gator is not just another motorcycle. Startling in both appearance and specification, it features a radically low solo seating position. Idiosyncratic? Sure, its inventor did not become famous for his orthodoxy."


MOTORCYCLE CRUISER, August 2002

"A Motorcycle that is part cruiser, part sportbike, part Formula One car. When you corner aggressively, you are not going over the top of the bike or even countering movement with controlled use of your bodyweight. Instead, you are an integral part of the chassis and the slightest shift - what feels like a mere thought - affects steering in the most wonderfully smooth and predictable way. The fact that the ALLIGATOR isn’t exactly orthodox is its real challenge. Can you see outside the box? We are curious to see how many of us can?"


CYCLE WORLD, Nov. 2002

"The A-6 sprinted from a stop to 30mph in just 1.1 seconds, quicker than any other street bike CW has ever tested. Nothing with a comparable power-to-weight ratio has come close. Similarly, the braking performance of the ALLIGATOR was outstanding. The low seat height also dramatically reduces frontal area, producing desirable aerodynamic results. That explains how it is also the fastest street going Single that we have seen. The ALLIGATOR can be flicked from side to side readily and quickly. You’ll find yourself adjusting to the riding position in the first few miles.


On the street, the ALLIGATOR accelerates hard and feels noticeably torquey and strong, there is no production Single that runs anywhere near as well.

We have yet to talk to anyone who has ridden an ALLIGATOR and not come away impressed by its handling ease and predictability. "


MOTOR TREND, February 2003

"Get the Alligator to a twisty road, and the ergonomic philosophy becomes brilliant. The low cg creates a pendulum effect that makes fast cornering feel effortless, predictable, and utterly holliganish."


BIKE MAGAZINE, England, February 2003

"Quality of the carbon fiber bodywork, made in house by AAR, is stunning, the quality of the welding on the chromoly tubular chassis is exquisite, the carbon fiber bodywork is flawless. Up close and in the flesh the bike is smaller than it looks in pictures. It’s a masterpiece of compact packaging. Framework is a joy. The steering is beautifully neutral and stunningly accurate… just lean and then lean some more."


MOTORCYCLIST, April 2003

"After riding it, we can say that it is outrageous, unexpected and completely original. The low center of mass encourages you to flick the bike back and forth in transitions with the same abandon you feel in a small sports car. If the modern sportbike were introduced today, after a century of riding ALLIGATORS, it might not go over well at all. It’s really, truly amazing that after more than a century of motorcycles, somebody can design something that is so different, so unique and which works so well, right out of the box. OK, after 20-plus years of hard work, but you get the idea."


CYCLE WORLD, July 2003

"In an ideal world, this is the kind of machine that a major manufacturer would initiate, develop and bring to market."

The ALLIGATOR will appear for the first time in Europe during the upcoming Festival of Speed at Goodwood July 11-12-13. Dan himself will don his leathers and ride the Gator up the hill, which promises to be a historic and unique moment.

Accompanying the Gurney ALLIGATOR motorcycle will be the newly restored GTP Toyota Eagle MKIII. 10 years after winning the GTP IMSA Sports Car Championship for the second time, with 21 victories to its credit including the 24-Hours of Daytona and the 12-Hours of Sebring (twice), this awesome racing car will finally make its European debut. GTP Champion Juan Manuel Fangio II will be coming to England from his home in Argentina to be reunited with his machine, his former boss and also his Crew Chief Gary Martin who restored the car in the last few months. Fangio will drive the car up the famous Goodwood Hill to give the British fans a taste of what GTP racing was like once upon a time in America.
