Fritz W. Egli, born (June 30 1937 in Zurich) is a former Swiss motorcycle racer. He is known as a motorcycle frame specialist, and engine tuner. Egli founded his motorcycle speed shop in 1965 and one of his first vehicles included a Vincent Black Shadow,[1] with what was to become his signature large diameter central tube which won a 1968 motorcycle hill climb championship. He went on to become famous for his frame designs for the large Japanese motorcycle engines of the 1970 years, especially the Honda CB750 Four and the first big four-stroke motorcycles of Kawasaki. Today, he builds frame for the Yamaha V-Max and others. One of his most legendary motorcycles, the MRD1, was based on the Kawasaki Z900, powered by turbocharging and nitrous oxide injection with a power of over 180 hp and a top speed of 297 mph. He went on to develop a 1,360 Kawasaki turbo-charge engined motorcycles capable of over 400 mph.
Egli took the Japanese engines, enhanced them and increased their power, then he built them into their own frame designs.[4] The main backbone pipe of his designs are about 12 cm in diameter and they use straight pipes exclusively, a design taken from the Vincent motorcycle. Egli motorcycles have a devoted community that come together at annual meetings./borrowed from wiki/

Egli MRD1
This is the 1986 World Record Version of the MRD 1 with a 300hp engine.
The fairing was designed by Luigi Colani, but not used since the engine
had "breathing" and overheating problems.

This Vmax is not just another tuned Vmax. This one was made by Fritz W. Egli
in Bettwil, Switzerland.
He worked the steering and swingarm bearings, put in his own "Racing Fork"
and 320mm rotors with Brembos. The engine is fed by a two wing
Roots-Supercharger (belt-driven) and a 44 mm Weber double carburetor.
It puts out some unbelievable 204hp and more than 160 Nm between 4500 and
9150 rpm. Cosworth pistons and hardened Carillo piston rods keep the
engine steady.
