The KR GT-1 Prototype is the brainchild of Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger, they began collaborating on a custom bike for Keanu back in 2007 and over time it evolved from a one-off design to a whole new motorcycle company now called – The Arch Motorcycle Company.

I was happy to learn last week that Norton Motorcycles have begun customer deliveries of the new Norton Commando 961 model.
