Revival Cycles “Fuse” Ducati | Jay Leno's Garage

[@motosagela]

I love your motorcycle content, Jay. Please do more. Beautiful bike.

[@lewdards1127]

yes i love that jay is into cars and bike equally

[@baconsarny-geddon8298]

Yeah, more bikes. Especially custom bikes, and more rare/hard-to-find/oddball stuff. I've had my fingers crossed for Leno turning up with a Crocker, for years. It'd be perfect for his collection, with all the Vincent's and Brough Superiors and Velocettes

[@superregera799]

One day, Jay will finally get too old to ride crazy bikes like this, but that day isn't today and I'm thankful for it.

[@michaelfraser5723]

ageism ?

[@machobunny1]

It is a piece of art, no question. And I figure most of us would not be able to even walk after riding for half an hour. There is nothing about that thing that says "I'm comfortable."

[@xprettylightsx]

I laughed at this… great comment:)

[@dumyjobby]

Usually when jay guests speak and show their work i look at them, during this video no matter who spoke i looked at the motorcycle. What a stunning, beautiful gorgeous piece of art.

[@michaelfraser5723]

that's what the sales guy told us

[@patrickmathews1646]

The design of this bike is beautiful. To me, what makes it amazing is that its design can be placed into the 20's, 30's, 50's, 60's, up until the present and still work. That is not an easy feat to accomplish. Adding to the fact that it is more than just rideable, that it performs adds even more to the power of its design. Form and function well balanced.

[@rotorhead5826]

"It works when it looks like it wasn't much work at all." As a machinist, that statement alone holds so much meaning.

[@valengreymoon5623]

That has to be the best looking bike I've seen in years. Beautiful work.

[@goodgoat3096]

This is the most beautiful bike that I have ever seen, and you can actually ride it! Love the Ducati rumble too.

[@966396631]

Genius. Remarkable discipline, vision, and dedication to the art.

[@TerribleTimes]

I like how the little Rizoma Mirror appeared when Jay took it for a spin :)

[@michaelfraser5723]

[@williamwintemberg]

I could spend an entire day looking at this bike from every conceivable angle! Just Breathtaking!

[@douglasr.c.5622]

You need to get out more often 😀.

[@williamwintemberg]

@@douglasr.c.5622 Interesting choice of words! Not really. This phrase is most commonly used by trolls towards someone with an opinion. One might expect someone that presents as getting out often would know this and think of something more original. Nice Try. You got my attention so I'm guessing I have made your day. You won't get any more.

[@douglasr.c.5622]

@@williamwintemberg I stick by my statement.

[@douglasr.c.5622]

You have to be kidding. If you could spend a DAY staring at a motorcycle, something is wrong.

[@bingbangboom9614]

Good for them! I used to get parts from them about 12 years ago when I lived down the street… great guys! Amazing shop!

[@bullettube9863]

Absolutely beautiful looking motorcycle and it can actually be ridden? Now that is something else again!

[@costafilh0]

I would have two! One for rinding and a second one just as an art piece!

[@mclarenscca]

The only word I can think for this bike, is stunning! What a beautiful piece of artwork!

[@gregsoucie]

Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful bike. Yes, it's scary expensive. But gorgeous.

[@rwburdett]

Good Lord! What a stunning bike. Amazing.

[@shelby.daytona6890]

It is a beautiful design...hands down one of THE most beautiful motorcycles I have ever seen...

[@brucebelitz3451]

I don't like the riding position myself, lots of back problems. But the design is outstanding, your eye dosen't stop looking at the lines! Thanks to all involved for sharing!

[@mrpicky1868]

its not for actual riding))

[@paulbuffington6706]

That is the most beautiful bike I’ve ever seen!

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

The welding on the exhaust alone is an undertaking in itself!

[@michaelfraser5723]

Let us pray the undertaker isn't needed

[@jimtrucksis1505]

That bike is gorgeous and will a significant piece of art in the cycle world for the foreseeable future. It even looks better at speed as the spokes disappear. Hats off to Ed and Revival for pushing Engineering and fabrication to the limits. ps- The Modulus for stainless is quite high so it will not see any fatigue issues. Great question though by Jay

[@hagestad]

now Just wait for VW to sue them for putting a logo on the bike that isn't really Ducati. Mercedes and Ferrari do this all the time

[@pashakdescilly7517]

There is tubing for bicycle frames in very thin stainless steel. Reynolds 953 for example

[@andyharman3022]

Modulus of Elasticity for stainless steel is not much different than regular low-alloy steel. Actually it's a little bit less.

[@SGspecial84]

Oh its cool, just not $500k cool. $150k, now they'd be on to something. They don't need a stainless chassis. That just seems unnecessary.

[@bigfilsing]

@@pashakdescilly7517 Which are brazed together NOT welded. Theres a reason for that

[@waqarghulam3548]

This kind of machine is really why I watch jay leno garage every Monday

[@markzieg3593]

Don’t gitme wrong. I love Ducati’s. 916 il Monstere being my all time favorite-the bike that made me drive by the Ducati dealership a couple nights a week, even tho it wasn’t on the way home. But thisun doesn’t do a thing for me. Stainless steel under load, such as standing rigging on a sailboat has about a 10-year service life. It doesn’t give you much warning before it fails. For this reason I would choose cro-moly steel. Sounds right, tho. Thanks for yet another great JLG! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lonnieraimer9531]

I agree looks like a chopper in sport bike guise

[@44amanaplanacanalpanama44]

Agreed. There's a reason nobody else is making chassis out of stainless.

[@mcrowley8460]

me either

[@chaddsteinberg3758]

Could you copy this bike for a lot less now they put all the effort/money into design

[@michaelfraser5723]

how many hands gave you got, man?

[@phil4986]

So much work and you can see it too. Just beautifully done and yes,it is artwork. Jay was clearly impressed with all the challenges the guys faced with all the material challenges they had to deal with. That triple clamp area just looks insane. The whole bike looks gorgeous.

[@sickjohnson]

Mega cool Jay...seen many this bike's pictures, now I know the story behind it!

[@brianellison3525]

You knock choppers, but mine hasbeen back and forth from Ann Arbor Michigan to Bremerton WA. a couple times. It was built for me by me. It fits me. It's comfy to ride. I had the 920 Monster. I loved that bike. This thing is gorgeous, But not my look. A little to sanitary. Love the exposed cam belt. Hope everyone has an awesome day. 👍

[@oliverattwell8013]

But they look gay

[@John_Redcorn_]

I think he was referring to the super long ridiculously stretched ones. Maybe ok for highway driving but jay lives where theres lots of city riding and windy hills. Same way here in WV. Lots of hills and windy 2-lane roads. Choppers are not the best in that respect.

[@leandrocastelli6316]

This is the most beautiful bike i have ever seen. Congratulations on this piece of art. Thank you so much for showing this to us!

[@wileecoyote5749]

Its horrendous

[@leedufour]

Thanks Alan, Ed and Jay!

[@goldtutch]

wow jay what a piece of art ! never seen anything like it

[@richdavidson8554]

Jay, thanks for asking the questions I would have - not being afraid to question things. This thing's amazing.

[@GameAssetsGarden]

I'm late to the game, but I started binge watching your videos about a week ago. Great content, Jay!

[@shelleyking8450]

This thing is gorgeous! It's so hard to make simple lines look so flowing and relevant, this is like rideable minimalist art.

[@paulbacon517]

Pick my jaw up off the floor another mind blowing vid from Jay

[@CanadianMapleleaf]

Every piece is amazing and a work of art as a whole, beautiful. I can no longer keep my head in that racer position, just not comfortable

[@Houthiandtheblowfish]

golden era of design in everything from areoplanes to automotive to motorcycle and furniture etc

[@chrisbryant267]

Knocked out of the park with this build. Everything about it is just perfection!❤

[@marklewis35]

Absolutely stunning looking bike!!

[@tamralistan]

Gorgeous bike!! Thanks Jay!

[@kaspetto]

love this bike. i love the single seat cafe racers. This will go down as one of the most beautiful of it's kind in my mind. cheers to the builders and designers, and thanks Jay for more great no nonsense motorcycle content. cheers!

[@epicmotorcyclechannel307]

I saw this in person at the Hand Built show in Austin TX and got to chat with Alan about it a bit. I have a video of that on my channel. This is an absolute stunner of a bike!

[@gustavofigueiredo1798]

Gorgeous. Cool to hear about the design process.

[@adrianpancaldi8646]

Simply as a piece of art, I understand, not to my taste, but that’s o.k, beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. As a practical riding bike, it makes very little sense to me, apart from riding it around the corner to your local cafe, uncomfortable seat etc. Though I am most concerned about the stainless frame, high usage would have me constantly scanning for cracks.

[@bigredc222]

Jay questioned them several times about the stainless and they kept saying it was extra thick tubing. I don't think it will ever get ridden enough for it to be an issue.

[@dogphlap6749]

This bike is all about aesthetics. I get the feeling that Jay prefers more functional design (as do I). No denying that it is a stunning bike though. Each to his own.

[@michaelfraser5723]

certainly stuns the bank manager

[@Firestorm637]

Thx Jay and Alan and of course, the Dell master

[@tysoncott7402]

Love the car stuff but really enjoy the motorcycle content, motorcycles are true art, and more of “man and machine” Please do more mc content.

[@jamesantonacci888]

Love the motorcycle content. Not my cup of tea with this bike but i can appreciate the time and money put into a one off build.

[@A.J.1656]

I've always loved motorcycles that are beautiful because their form follows function, not the other way around.

[@aderiley6592]

2nd best looking Virago I've ever seen (after my own) 😂 Absolutely stunning bike ❤️‍🔥

[@ivannarvaez367]

I’m not a bike guy, but damn that’s gorgeous. Glad to see Jay still enjoying motorcycles.

Much respect to Revival! Like the guys, like their KZbin channel, like their stuff, like their bikes. Nuff said, thanks, but 500k, for that bike, nahhhhh gimme a Singer 911 instead thanks :)

[@richardcrighton8079]

they got it right when they said it would spend its life being adored rather than actually ridden. but as motorcycle art goes, it's a goddess.

[@sladeb6036]

Beautiful. Reminds me of the motorcycle from Incredibles 2.

[@lordbogus1985]

Absolutely stunning! There has been no compromises to the design, everythibg is like it should be... maybe it could have been a bit lower?

[@toomanyhobbies2011]

"well, it tracks nice and true", means that it's a show bike that can be ridden. "functional, kinetic art work"... That's a LOT of money for ego. Mr. Leno spends a LOT of money on his hobby, but what's great about him is that he's humble and his toys all run well and are useable.

8:22 "Blow a seal" brings to mind that joke about the penguin whose car breaks down in a small town. After having the car towed to a local garage, the penguin walks to a nearby soft-serve ice cream place and buys a vanilla cone . . .

[@wesleycardinal8869]

Beautiful looking thing. Reminds me mostly of the Godet Vincent that Jay also has.

[@ursinegrubby916]

It's a beauty to be sure. That exhaust destroys the elegant lines. That rear smooth chrome swing arm needs to be uncovered/seen not hidden by that reptilan cartoonish trumpet.

[@vinuezaer]

Proud to have them in Austin.

[@russbellew6378]

Jay's skepticism regarding the use of stainless steel for the frame tubes is astute. This bike's function follows form.

[@duroxkilo]

they make some bmx and other 'jump bikes' custom frames out of stainless... apparently they don't last that much longer under stress compared to the regular steel ones, although the material itself is way more rigid.

[@brunonjezic6208]

Incredible design. Im usually not loving motorcycles accept old BMW's but really impressive

[@Andy.H.H.]

Beautiful bike even with THE MIRROR that you added for your ride Jay! 😂

[@MarcS4R]

[@brandonobaza8610]

Good art is polarizing, so here I go 😁 I hate when tubes are made out of welded together "calamari" sections. It's a styling touch that too closely resembles incompetence with a tubing bender. It's like me plumbing your entire house with nothing but pipe fittings -- no pipe -- installed outside of your walls for your viewing pleasure.

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

He should have used PEX

[@rcpmac]

Some people don't get it... That's fine, so don't get it

[@brandonobaza8610]

@@rcpmac It's been said, "there's no accounting for taste" I respect all the effort that went into just that one part. It must have been a huge time sink, and when you look at the rest of the bike, to let the exhaust just be plain _pipes_ would be negligence. I tend to have a pendulous ambivalence as to where the beauty lies in a machine -- form is always fighting function in my mind.

[@CalvinHikes]

With everything else being so clean it does... Feel like a separate design. Obviously that's intentional to create the contrast but contrast but... While I would like a smoother pipe, I don't have a 1/2 a million dollars to disagree.

[@christopherbrown6697]

The pipes look very much like custom expansion chambers on tuned two-strokes. That segmenting technique makes sense when the diameter changes substantially, but it's an odd choice for a four stroke. I don't hate them, but they're my least favorite part of the bike.
