In any case, it is yet another attempt to bring to life a French motorcycle that Italian designer Oberdan Bezzi dreamed of and put down on paper.
It would have been born from a collaboration between the glorious MATRA brand (Mécanique Aviation TRaction), dusted off for the occasion, which was famous in the 70s for its racing cars both in Formula 1 and in Prototypes where it won several times. the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Voxan brand, which shone in the early 2000s but went bankrupt, due to a lack of a French market receptive to its 2° 72cc V1000, yet very compact, balanced and torquey, with machines with a design that barely ages.
The motorcycle should present itself as an "Innovative Classic", in which shapes identifiable with a conventional roadster would merge innovative technical solutions such as part of the carbon fiber frame, as well as the spoke rims or the strange location of the exhaust, like a Buell.
Therefore, looking for a very alternative niche for those who love particular motorcycles and are fascinated by the combination of technology and shapes, even those that are not contemporary.
We must hope that this Etendard 1200 gives ideas to lovers of mechanics to enter production!
