article FFE 350 experimental motorcycle

The document summarizes an experimental sport bike called the FFE 350 built by Julian Farnam. It has a Yamaha RZ 350 powered engine and a unique front-end design with no front forks. It uses a single-sided front swingarm and redundant linkage to connect the front wheel to the handlebars. After early testing showed promise, Farnam continued developing the brakes, suspension, and refining the design. Further track testing demonstrated good handling and stability at speed, with some room for improvement in reducing harshness and brake feedback. The project helped prove the viability of the novel front-end design concept.
