Australia’s Salt Motorcycles Develops 1,200cc Hydrogen-Powered V8

Brisbane, Australia-based Salt Motorcycles currently offers just one model. The made-to-order Salt Twostroke strips down a stock KTM 300 EXC TPI and dresses it up in café racer clothing. Customers may have to shell out $39,990 AUD ($27,600 USD) for the lightweight roadster, but there’s certainly nothing else on the road quite like it.

Apparently, Salt Motorcycles embraces that level of notoriety, as the firm continues to develop its 1,200cc V8 engine. The brand originally revealed its V8 powerplant in October, 2021. At that point, the engineers were testing bore and stroke sizes to optimize performance while also maintaining the mill’s 350-millimeter (13.8-inch) width and a 48-kg (105.8-pound) fighting weight.
