Opening of the exhibition of Inspirium motorcycle in Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute

On November 19, the KPI Library will open a stand with the Inspirium motorcycle, which set a world speed record in the vintage motorcycle class. We invite you to see the legend, take pictures and win interesting gifts!

The Inspirium motorcycle, which began its life as a 1953 IZH-49, after being modernized by the Kharkiv-based Iron Custom Motors team of engineers, won the Bonneville Speed Week 2017 race. It also set a world speed record in the class of custom-built vintage motorcycles.

Thanks to engine upgrades, the specialists managed to increase its power from 11 to 40 horsepower. Two years later, the Inspirium amazed the world by reaching 99.764 miles per hour and breaking the previous speed record of 86 mph.

Since returning to Ukraine, the motorcycle has visited Kharkiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Vinnytsia – and now, with the support of Sigma Software, it has come to Kyiv!

You can visit the exhibition and see the Inspirium motorcycle with your own eyes in the lobby of the KPI Library from November 19, 2024 to May 1, 2025.
