Estonia is not a country known for motorcycles, but the reemergence of a pre-WW2 motorcycle brandname could change all that.

The bike's carbon-fiber and Kevlar monocoque chassis weighs just 11 kg and incorporates the airbox and fuel tank while the metal components other than the Moto Guzzi 1200cc Quattrovalvole v-twin engine are all CNC milled from a solid aircraft quality aluminium.
