Midual
Midual was a proposed motorcycle that debuted in October 1999 at the World Show of Two-Wheeled Vehicles in Paris.〔(NJOU-Online )〕 It was created by the brothers Olivier and François Midy and was to be built in Angers, France. The motorcycle was a roadster featuring a flat-twin liquid-cooled engine of 875cc mounted in line with the frame in the fashion of Douglas. The engine was inclined downwards 25° to make room for the transmission under the rear cylinder and the radiator above the front cylinder.〔(Midual engine )〕 The unique engine design was chosen to give the bike a distinct personality and differentiate it from any other motorcycle on the market.〔(Midual Roadster 900: Something Old/Something New )〕 The design of the bike was by motorcycle designer Glynn Kerr. The Midys had hoped to market the bike as a Douglas, but could not secure the worldwide rights to the name and used the name Midual instead. A non-running prototype was built, but sufficient funding could not be found and the project was abandoned.〔(Midual on Glynn Kerr's website )〕
In August 2014, it was announced the Midual would go into limited production with a 1036cc engine for "a price approaching $200,000 per unit."〔(Midual Resurfaces in Carmel With Unique Flat Twin Design )〕
