Motorcycle Design 2- Things That Make A Bike More Than A Toy.

Haro Bmx Bike Image

Motorcycles are a very cool and economical form of transportation, whether for fun or work. One thing missing from most bikes is storage. Unlike a car, there is no trunk or rear cargo space to stash your stuff whether heading off to work or on a road trip. When I first saw the Rune, that was something I noticed right off the bat.

The one manufacturer who made a lot of custom stuff (Corbin) was supposedly not interested — not enough Runes on the street to make it worth their while. So I set out to design a set of hard bags that complimented the lines and shape of the bike.

Now, almost six years later, Mirraco continues to offer a wide variety of expertly spec'd complete bikes, including the top of the line park model, The Mirraco Canvas.

Along with Dave came former Haro president and CEO Jim Ford, and Mirraco was created. 5 head tube, 70 degree seat tube and 13.
