Arch Motorcycles' bikes have a presence that's just unmatched. They're low, the engine sits proudly at the center, and they almost appear to have been carved from a solid piece of aluminum. There's a heft to them that's unmistakable. Yet, the prototype motorcycle that Arch's Gard Hollinger and Keanu Reeves took racing in MotoAmerica's Super Hooligan class last season doesn't exactly follow that ethos.
Racing isn't just about power, it's about weight and agility, and as cool as Arch's normal motorcycles are, they aren't built for the track. But Hollinger and Reeves wanted to go racing, and Roland Sands' Superhooligan class on the MotoAmerica racing calendar, proved to perfect a chance to pass up, as it's basically a run-what-you-brung series where almost anyone can compete.
