Arch KRGT-1 (2020) Review | Bennetts BikeSocial.co.uk

[@andrewd7586]

This is Keanu Reeves business isn’t it?... Bloody awesome design as was the first model. He has such a passion for bikes!!!

[@abduljabbaralhayyan7791]

Kudos for Bennet not mentioning the elephant in the room, the bike speaks for itself

[@irvan36mm]

Yes,it is Keanu Reeves’ company. Unfortunately, it is $78000 too expensive for me. I’ll stick to my 2019 Harley Iron 883.

[@andrewd7586]

irvan36mm And that’s US dollars. I’ve gotta convert it to Aussie dollars... $1 BILLION AU!!!🤣

[@42XX10]

5 times the bike that Cheap Ass 883 is

[@JOA-S]

@@irvan36mm bought one after watching Blockhead? ;)

[@Lowlander119]

You can tell the company is really coming together and standing on it's own merits when they don't mention Keanu Reeves for once lol

[@tuttle6763]

modern times the difference is that Elon is the master mind behind Tesla, he designs the product. Although Reeves helps determine the final product, he is not involved with Arch like Elon is involved with Tesla. Elon also gained most of his fame through Tesla and later Space X, whereas Reeves fame came previously from his acting career. So I think Elon and Reeves are incomparable in regards to the original comment.

[@WilliamTravisIto]

@@tuttle6763 Elon is a very capable business but is not the engineering mastermind. Reeves and Musk are exactly the same. Some of the conversations from Musk demonstrates his entry-level understanding of the products he stands behind. The more you listen to Musk speak publicly, the more you realize he's just a showman. A great businessman who knows where to invest his money in, mind you, but very comparable to Reeves.

[@trolltheburrito5123]

Tuttle Elon Musk doesn’t even have an engineering degree, he bought Tesla and markets Tesla

[@mayuravirus6134]

@@tuttle6763 Actually the master mind as in the the one that came up with Tesla is martin everhard and marc tarpening yea those guys Elon just came in and helped because of Elon's history of Paypal

[@IncognitoSprax]

@@tuttle6763 Elon IS NOT the mastermind behind it. It was not his idea at all. He's the one that came along with money, and then kicked the creator out of the company.

[@RobertPaulson87]

Like everyone else has said, if money wasn't an issue, I'd love to buy one of these pieces of art!

[@kencohagen4967]

Robert Paulson I so with youM it's a gorgeous bike!

[@phillbradshaw7190]

Spot on !!

[@kiwiabroad8390]

Don’t be haters. Well done Arch for having a vision and not being afraid to have a go.

[@marremane]

how can anyone hate it?

[@mathunit1]

@@marremane I don't know, stupid Keanu haters maybe. *Shrug*

[@SvenTviking]

@@marremane Easily. They are charging stupid money. Ok, it’s all hand fabricated, like the tank. But the Morgan 3 wheeler car uses the same engine, is hand built and costs less than half as much.

[@oczhaal]

@@SvenTviking but it's not linked to keanu reeves... haha/... That price tag is ridiculous. You must be stupid to buy a bike that costs that much.

[@roguepoops23]

[@UncleWally3]

The well sculptured “seamless” tank screams quality. Well done!

[@danilocapellan1316]

If I had the money, definitely a masterpiece of motorcycle. 👍🏼

[@canyonforkash731]

The level of care and delicacy taken into manufacturing each part and crevice of this bike is just astounding. Shows this company and mr. reeves truly care and have a passion for motorcycles.

[@nobodyhere4860]

Im blown away by the level of one off billit parts used for these bikes. First response is wow its exspensive! Then you realize its not overpriced at all, this level of custom craftsmanship simply costs what it costs... The truth is they're most likely not turning huge profits. It's more for the passion of motorcycles and the love of high end mechanics. Great stuff guys at ARCH MOTORCYCLES! 👍

[@stevecade857]

I am surprised by such a positive review. I was also expecting a rather lackluster performance but am glad it lives up to its sport cruiser role. I would love an Arch but the size of my wallet says they're overpriced. Hand built custom bikes with such attention to detail will always cost to much for me unless my numbers come up. Just hope they have a UK showroom to go and appreciate their work.

[@todxbranko]

Don't be surprised, positive reviews cost money Keanu can deliver. I'll wait for an unbiased opinion smh

[@溺黎]

no wonders keanu is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer frikin will! this is PERFECTION!

[@Heavywall70]

I’ve literally never heard of this bike Which is a damn shame ! I want that ! Ok edit; Hit pause Did a tiny lil search I now have a new financial issue and a possible divorce on the horizon

[@42XX10]

HEAVYWALL 70 Same Here

[@gur262]

It's not a bike for people that, when riding this and perhaps a street triple r, would even consider the price a factor in their purchase. Yamaha mt 01 or perhaps buells (very mixed reviews) are closest to this but for civilians

[@boomerhgt]

Divorce just makes your poorer and all you can afford is a C90

[@papatruss]

I'm already divorced and own three bikes. But this is way out of my price range, guess I'll have to make do with what I have until I win the lottery:-) Looking at the video I would say my XDiavel is the closes I have to this beautiful machine.

[@moto_ronto]

the CNC machining of the parts is mind boggling

[@sharilintner2080]

Great detailed review ! It is amazing to me how much time and effort is put into each bike when it is created for theirl clients. The engineering of the bike and the design are really unmatched by other companies. It is the hands on approach, with so much focus on detail, that sets these stunning motorcycles far above the others made today. There is so much done by hand. Congratulations to the owners and entire design and engineering teams!! Another leap forward in style and performance. They are really beautiful and handle the road really well. A safer, smoother ride for any client with a passion for riding. Well done! God Bless You!

[@charl12]

It's great that in a world of compromise that a machine like this exists. I would ride it everyday given the chance.

[@Dakjoy]

As everything Keanu is involved in, it's shear perfection!

[@zacharyharris438]

@@city__lights lmao. I ain't wasting my scratch on that lame ass movie.

[@robertoterriquez2132]

These are awesome bikes no doubt but, for the price of one of these you can get a Ducati Panigale V4, Diavel, Multistrada, and Hypomotard. You can own one Arch bike with one riding style or, you can own 4 Ducatis with different riding styles of each other. Arch is not for the budgets of reasonable middle class people.

[@troll2637]

It's for rich people. Like a rolls royce. Can't you see that?

[@Kurz_Weber]

Yeah we know... it's not trying to be. Its not punched out of a mass-production machine shop in Thailand. Its hand built by an artisan.

[@vermilion6667]

No shit, Sherlock

[@garrywhitelaw8723]

I can't believe I have watched so many reviews but not an Arch review.. here we go

[@Death656]

I absolutely love this bike I think the geometry is spot on like a upright sport bike and then a big torque thumping Harley style engine. Amazing bike

[@twowheelseatingmeals-motoj8080]

People shouldn't be bashing Keanu, there's countless interviews where he has thanked Gard and reiterates that he is the real mind behind everything.

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

The fit and finish on those bikes are amazing, and all the machining is awesome. If I had the money to afford one of those I'd leave it in bare aluminum, and bare carbon fiber for other parts.

[@cpuuk]

They let you loose on one of their bikes- you lucky boys.

[@maxjenicscw]

Loose.

[@skyworks1621]

If I would have that money that would for sure be on my list. Love to see how everything is done by hand.

[@Banditmanuk]

Some lovely work gone into that bike. Keanu Reeves (who is a massive bike enthusiast) and co have produced something special. Great vid.

[@alfredosalazar526]

It’s so cool that arch is working with the v-twin!

[@AlvinCornelius]

Breathtaking bikes

[@Marco-cl9pb]

No, you're breathtaking!

[@dayleashleynolasco5765]

I love everything about the Arch Motorcycle is doing. The bikes are truly done with heart. Although, the only problem I see here is the classic round shape of the headlight. It could have been look fiercer if they chose a vertical diamond shape that matches the shape of the dashboard cover. Aside from that its perfect. 👌

[@sgtliles30]

Never been into street bikes or cruisers. But i bilieve i found a street bike i like in design and ideas. Keanu and his friends have done well..

[@azznnj]

Its rear-wheel kinda reminds me of Cloud's bike in FF7 Advent Children. Since then I've started to have that passion for motorcycles.

[@kingkaboodles3817]

All the hand work done reminds me of the old Rolls Royce.. No wonder these bikes cost a premium

[@nacona5114]

Art in motion, this is one beautiful bike and its performance is so impressive, I would actually give up my H-D for one of these.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

I had one of these... Actually I had a Yamaha MT-01 for a couple of years when it had just turned 10 years old. If ever there was an underrated bike destroyed by the press (because they couldn’t pigeon hole it back in the day) and wonderfully overpriced by Yamaha the MT-01 was it. It was beautiful to look at, fun to ride without being terrifying, a possessor of a superb soundtrack and stunningly finished. Everything that dear Mr Reeves bike is but years earlier and so much cheaper....

[@Booster_Golden_Cobra]

The jacket is a Roland Sands Clash CE Leather Jacket in oxblood colour. For those of us looking for it.

[@AverageCitizen333]

Riding one of these would be a dream come true, but owning one would be a highlight in my life right under my wife and kids. These are so beautiful, and I love that they use a v twin!

[@davidghost2913]

Pretty Awesome,Love my Harleys,to me is like a time machine when they came to life with Willie g.in a garage in 03 🤣1903 that is.And in our time with Arch..Dreams come thru.Thank you Kneau and Gard .I'm curious on how you come up with naming those beautiful machines.

If it's good enough for Keanu, it's certainly good enough for me. Fantastic looking bike.

Thats the one that caught my eye ...Mr Reeves see I love you

[@charlie-tangomotors2516]

I would love to own an Arch bike. Fantastic design.

[@MrBlueberrypie44]

I enjoyed this review. I would never be in the market for one of these. But I love to see a diversity of Bikes. Never seen an 'independent' review of one of these. Great work. Would have liked to see more riding and comments on it's ridability. My bike cost me $3000 AUD. That's about 1600 pounds. One of these would cost be $125000 AUD. In other words... tell me this bike is 40x better than mine.. In any case, it's not about that. Keep up the good work

What type of motorcycle you want? Sports? Cruise? Cafe? Keanu: I want it all.

[@patricksandeberg8184]

[@daneshmaximus3707]

it's really a art of bike making huge amount of aluminum is grinded. instead of grinding they could cast aluminum which could save a huge time and will reduce recycle of it.

[@melloman5517]

Man o man.... can not afford, but can dream tonight after watching this!

[@odinssonsgamingalcoholicbiker]

Now this is a bike I can ride comfortably

[@stevenkoski228]

The custom milled bits are nice, the H-D engine is cumbersome & doesn’t work in an intended class of being a Superbike, this is merely underperforming custom fodder. Any Euro or Japanese 1L bike would shame it badly. In this segment Bimota is the top pick for the money.

[@blcksheepMUSIC101]

It literally looks so comfortable to ride 💯

[@martynlaverick3405]

[@peterryan7827]

I would love to know how much these stunning-looking bikes are , they just look so very different from the norm.

[@pkphilips2]

While I understand the hyper around hand made parts, it makes zero sense to spend so much time on building a fuel tank. Also, why would it take 90 days to build the bike if the all of the parts are already available on the shelves?

[@cliffcox7643]

How safe do you think parking this bike is? I mean i live in LA and a friend had his sports bike literally taken by guys in a truck.

[@aloamabrighton1089]

What a beauty!! I agree - I could look at this all day (and much rather ride it!!) instead of watching TV!!

[@Nightboat]

It's always cool to see what can be done if money is no object but these machines are then of course priced well beyond the range of what most average Joe's can afford. What good is any machine if no one can afford to own/ride it?

[@JohnBraman413]

these bikes are custom built to fit you. wish more bike companies did that.

[@ram64man]

I just don’t get the motor factors trend for just one seat, sure we often ride alone but it’s always handy for a plus 1 for the g/f /wife or drop a friend off who may have had one to many

what would you compare it to, Ducati diavel? Triumph rocket?. be good to have a shoot out.
