Interesting take on the Quota

The guys at Moto Studio have been busy. A lot of thought went into this creation.

 Let the hazing begin.

As a Quota guy ...it's a great effort. I would assume the panels in the tank is where the the battery, fuel pump and ecm go. The ecm is still needed for the ignition since the bike has carbs.I saw a Quota that removed the air filter box to place an aux fuel tank in it's place.This may have given additional room. Since the Quota is very thirsty. The reduction in fuel capacity is going in the wrong direction.

Now that IS an unlikely candidate for customization!  Interesting.

I've put a few miles on a Quota and I like the Quota.

(I wonder how they come up with these names.)

You should have seen that bike w/he started on it, was purchased from the shop in Marietta,GA. It was nasty! He said he had a customer that wanted a scrambler. Took all year to make, got it this spring.

I still wonder all the time effort energy money goes into something like this and they stick !@#$ing delorto's on it. Sure your been a retro hipster but there are carbs that work soo much better than delorto that are readily available. Pesonally I would of stuck with the fuel injection but that just me.

I guess you never rode a Quota with FI. I'm still trying  to address my issues. You never want to be a rider behind a Quota in traffic.

I've actually ridden both the 1000 and the 1100 quota's.

Well, the intake trumpets look pretty!  :grin:

I'd rather spend time sorting FI than jetting carbs myself, regardless of the reputed issues - I just seem to understand the logic of them better (even though all my racing was on bikes and in cars with carbs).

My quota runs flawlessly. I've removed the top of the airbox W/ K&N, installed a mistral midpipe and muffler, and has a powercomander IV, and was dyno tuned. I believe the dyno tuning made the biggest difference.

This Quota is kinda homely, but I bet it's fun to ride.
