Unique ONES Did you know the motorcycle engine configurations are not only limited to one-cylinder inline, two-cylinders inline, V-twin, L-twin, radial engines, etc. Turn out there are many other unique engines that you may not have known about before. There's one thing could be said also to be the determinant of the success of an engine is its placement position, at least that's what an Italian motorcycle manufacturer named Nembo Motorciclette believes.
The Nembo Super 32 Rovescio has a quite unique upside-down position engine, which is an air-cooled three-cylinder engine with a single overhead cam and two valves per cylinder. (Picture from: OddBike)
The company itself was a small Italian company run by Danielle Sabatini, in which all motorcycle manufacturing process done by hand skills, and also using modern manufacturing tools for machine casting, CNC processing and turning machine parts. One of the unique machines made by the Italian motorcycle manufacturer is a prototype motorcycle named Nembo Super 32 Rovescio, the name means 3 cylinder, 2 liter, reversed.
It was further stated that an upside-down machine installation like this
is believed to be able to concentrate the pay load in the center of
gravity. (Picture from: OddBike)
Although the motorbike name was a quite unique, and maybe it's the first time you've known about. So far the Nembo Super 32 has been built on request only and two prototypes have been built. Two of the first prototypes were built with 1,814 cc engines and had debuted in January 2011. After that the motorcycle maker will start producing a small range of this unique Nembo Super 32 motorcycle equipped with an upside-down 2,000 cc engine.

Unmatigated, this Nembo motorcycle even applying a quite fantastic engine, which is an air-cooled three-cylinder engine with a single overhead cam and two valves per cylinder. This powertrain has been upgraded from 1,850 cc to 2,100 cc, and of course you can already guess how fast this bike is. Then what's made the machine is unique due to it's installed in an upside-down position.
And according to the motorbike maker, the position of the engine like this is inspired by the old airplane engine. It was further stated that an upside-down machine installation like this is believed to be able to concentrate the pay load in the center of gravity.

The cockpit area is minimalist and the headlamps are in a Katana style. (Picture from: GridOto)
Next to the front, there is a motorcycle built-in tank which has been replaced with a quick action CNC model from Slingshot Racing. Then the cockpit is made simple with LSL clip-on handlebars, Nissin brake masters, and Motogadget parts. Don't forget to replace the headlights with a box-shaped LED model with a shell that resembles the face of the Suzuki Katana.
While the legs sector gets some light changes by Rusty Wrench Motorcycles. (Picture from: GridOto)
Shifting to the legs, the Rusty Wrench Motorcycles crew did not change much for this Suzuki GSX-R1100. For the front fork, it seems that it still relies on the original default, but the rear suspension has been replaced with a YSS pretentious. Both wheels are also standard but are now provided with Continental Sport Attacks tires and EBC disc brakes.
