(NON-SEVEN) NEW BLOOD: ROLAND SANDS KRV5 TRACKER

Ben Corley | June 1, 2007

Usually only found in the garages of top MotoGP teams, a MotoGP engine is an awfully expensive piece of machinery. For “King” Kenny Roberts to hand one over to someone, it becomes motorcycle lore.

NEW BLOOD is the story of the KRV5 Tracker. The world’s first and only MotoGP powered custom bike.

TEAM ROBERTS delivered one of their KRV5 motors to Roland Sands, and the cameras started rolling. If you’ve ever wanted to see a concept bike go from paper to a running prototype, buy “New Blood“, a documentary on the concept, build-up and running of this wonderful motorcycle, which will hopefully inspire us even further in our Seven hobby!

If you like MotoGP racing, Kenny Roberts or Nicky Hayden, buy New Blood. If you like custom motorcycles and the history of racing, buy New Blood. If you like RSD, buy New Blood. Check out the New Blood teaser … you might learn something.

Roland Sands, for those of you who don’t know is an ex AMA Champion and now a custom bike builder. What if …we built custom Sevens the way he builds his bikes? Or what if Roland Sands built a Seven!?

NOTE: Here’s a new section I’ve started. It’s Non-Seven but don’t be alarmed, it won’t dilute the Seven news which will keep on coming, but if there’s something inspirational out there which I believe will drive us on in our quest to build the finest Lotus & Caterham Sevens, let it be seen here first!
