We've seen that before on the slip-on pipe. |

Hi Richard, congratulations for the Ronin bike. We are many riders from several countries that are astonish by you bike.
I have several questions.
1. Did you place only one front water radiator? Did you find engine temperatures problems on your track test?
2. Did you place battery and other electrical parts (ecm?) above the exhaust?
3. Will you sell some or all parts as a kit?
4. Finally, more pics please!  |

1. I very much dig the tail / tail light.
2. Could the link fork have an effect of negating the problem 'possibly' caused by the radiator weight out front.
3. Brilliant! |

What does racing have to do with it? One would not race a show bike version of the 1125 either? Anyway, Anonymous said Please, please do not ride it not Please, please do not RACE it. However, I would agree with not racing it. Not ride it though, hell no! I'd ride that damned thing all over town.
Well in that case you can hang a refrigerator on the front forks. I was never much for show. Might as well shove some 20 inch rims under it. |

To all at Magpul - congratulations.
You have built a unique if not odd machine that appears to work.
I'm interested to hear the qualities of the Girder front-end.
Just because it looks weird doesn't alone make it a bad idea.
Seems to me it can't react as fast or be as solid/square as the unit it replaces.
Definitely an eye-catcher.

Wow this is and old thread but I have news! The Ronin lives in production form and they are for sale.
September 30, 2014 –For immediate Release
First 12 Ronin Motorcycles released for sale
Denver, CO – After several years in development, Ronin Motor Works announced today that it is releasing the first 12 bikes of their limited run of 47 motorcycles via their website http://www.the47.com
These limited production motorcycles are designed at the Ronin Motor Works factory in Denver, Colorado, using the latest in engineering software and design techniques. The Ronin motorcycles are produced to strict tolerances, and yet each motorcycle is crafted with honest, time-tested manufacturing principles.
Each production Ronin features 11 cast aluminum parts, all poured and heat-treated within a short drive of the Ronin Motor Works factory. Castings are hand-sanded over countless hours before being painted and assembled onto bikes. Other components including the hand-stitched seat, carbon fiber air box cover and fenders, sheet metal parts, and wiring harness are all designed in-house and then sourced locally.
The Ronin's design is as unique as its manufacturing process. The brake and clutch master cylinders and steering nacelle are all one integrated assembly ending with small bar end mirrors and LED turn signals. To achieve a light, clean aesthetic, cables, wiring, and fluid lines are routed inside the castings and under the air box cover and seat. Traditional motorcycle components are combined into unitized parts to save space and weight, such as the battery box that incorporates the rider’s foot pegs and the belt drive tensioner.
Other advance design features of the Ronin Motorcycle include, RFID ignition key and solid-state rely module, custom-tuned ECU, high-efficiency stator and a newly designed high-flow exhaust system.
A 30 second trailer has been released showing manufacturing, assembly, and test track footage of the motorcycles:
The first 12 bikes released will be in the classic Silver & Black color of the original Magpul concept bike. At $38,000 (USD) each, these bikes will be the most affordable of all the Ronin motorcycles released (and priced below the cost to produce them). The initial release of 12 will be followed by 10 all-black versions at an increased price. After that, there will be a release of 8, then 6, then 4, and then 2; each group will have different color schemes and features. The remaining 5 bikes will be one-off designs. Every bike is named after one of the 47 Ronin warriors from Japanese folklore, and each warrior's name is engraved on the bike and on the owner's toolkit.
