In 2017, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Arch Motorcycle Method 143, a motorcycle part of the Arch Motorcycle range, alongside the KRGT-1 and 1S models. The bike was characterized as a performance cruiser, with cruiser comfort and sports bike performance.
The bike was the product of Arch Motorcycle Company, founded in 2011 by the famous actor Keanu Reeves and the custom motorcycle builder Gard Hollinger. The company is based in Hawthorne, California, USA.
It all started in 2007, when Keanu Reeves, a well-known man for his motorcycle passion, met custom motorcycle builder Gard Hollinger by giving him a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to customize.
The actor received the finished product well and proposed to Hollinger to start a custom motorcycle manufacturing company. At first, Hollinger refused, but after some time and persistence from Keanu Reeves, Hollinger accepted, saying they could leave something beautiful behind as a legacy.
In 2017, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Arch Motorcycle Method 143, a motorcycle with a sportier, more aggressive riding position compared to the other models. The bike was described as a concept due to its unusual appearance, similar to concept automobiles.
In addition, the Arch Motorcycle Method 143 appeared in the Grand Theft Auto Online game and Cyberpunk 2077. Also, the bike was limited to 23 units worldwide and delivered 151 Nm (112 lb-ft) torque.
