Czech Republic isn’t much famous for a lot of things. It's only real contribution to the world has been sugar cubes – which were invented in this castle-land in 1843. The most important motoring contribution has been Skoda, that’s it really. That goes to show the level of excitement in this country. So it’s only stupid to think about anything mad and crazy coming out from a country that celebrates something weird called Josef Name Day as a national holiday – why, because Josef was once one of the most popular Czech names – talk about heights of stupidity!

But, well, looks like some hot-headed chaps in Czech Republic got pissed-drunk, shouted aloud, and decided to vent their anger out over all the criticism and mocking, and did something rather strange and brave. The world has woken up to Czech Republic, since.

It looks like hell on Earth. But it isn’t. What it really is, is a result of combined madness of a Czech based 125cc GP team and an aspiring bike manufacturer, FGR. So, if you thought that the Ducati Diavel (featured in our Feb ’11 issue) was a bit too tame for you and the Kwacker ZX-14 wouldn’t really float your boat, welcome then, to one of the maddest and meanest motorcycles ever to grace the tarmac – FGR Midalu.

In 2004, Miroslav Felgr, had merely a thought putting together a motorcycle fixed with a big engine. Six years on, that thought has taken shape of a striking two-wheeled monster, with some real good deal of help from Oldrich Kreuz. Smirnoff must’ve supplied barrels-full of Vodka to these guys because this is something that couldn’t have been created with a sane head, and physics. When you see and hear about the engineering wonder they’ve produced, you’ll gape in disbelief! Kreuz, by 2008, was ready with an engine for the bike – a mammoth 2442cc, liquid-cooled, 90-degree V6 one at that. Yes, I know that sounds like a real big engine, but wait till you hear about the power it has – 240 bhp, and more than 200Nm of torque. That surreal. That’s insanity right in front of you, draped in elegant white skin.

The project has taken nearly six years to complete and has been funded and backed largely by grants from the Czech ministry of industry. FGR will now spend the remainder of this year testing out and developing the steroid bred motorcycle to prep it for assembly production.

Given the bike’s massive size and a fat-ass engine, it still only weighs 270kg, which is relatively light. This is primarily due to the large self-supporting carbon-fibre seat unit and a carbon-fibre fuel tank. However, the chassis uses a straightforward trellis-stye design. If the bike goes as well as it sounds on paper – sorry Hayabusa, game over.

It is obvious that production would be quite limited, because according to the privileged – and extremely ballsy – individuals who have tested the machine, FGR is planning to sell only six of the bikes in 2012.
