Conservatism runs
strong in motorcycle design and anything that breaks the mould is sure to
garner its fair share of attention. You have
many opportunities for improvement at your disposal – you could redesign the
suspension (
FFE350,
Vyrus), the chassis (
Gurney Alligator) or you could fit an
unusual engine (
Van Veen OCR). The Super 32 Rovescio, built by tiny Roman manufacturer Nembo Motociclette, is just such an
iconoclastic machine. It is a motorcycle that literally turns engine design on its head –
because designer Daniele Sabatini decided he could build a better motor by flipping it
upside down.
