Starting a business these days seems almost like an impossible task. You've got onerous governmental regulations, small business loans drying up, and just the general hardship of seeing your vision executed has left many to abandon their dreams. Combining all that with attempting to build a rideable machine only furthers those challenges. Just ask Damon Motorcycles.
So it's not hard to understand why many startups these days are looking outside the normal avenues of starting a business on the right foot.
There are a few different pathways to do so, i.e. venture capital, personal loans, crime...But the folks over at Langen Motorcycles out of the United Kingdom, the motorcycle shop that's planning to build a 300 horsepower turbocharged naked superbike, are aiming to use crowdfunding to get its business off the ground and consumers listening to the sweet, sweet sound of a squirrelly wastegate.
