The Cyclone brand is well known to enthusiasts: founded more than 100 years ago in the United States, Cyclone developed the most advanced engine technology of the time and created the myth of the "Yellow Speed Demon", so much so that last February, at an auction in Las Vegas, the American V-Twin fetched a record bid of more than $1.3 million, making it the most expensive motorbike auctioned.
