With only 23 units produced, the Method 143 exemplifies the spirit of Arch Motorcycles, merging artistry with high-performance engineering to create a bike that commands attention on the road and the showroom floor. At the heart of the Method 143 is a formidable V2, four-stroke engine boasting a displacement of 2343cc (142.97 cubic inches).

The Method 143 is crafted with an innovative carbon fiber monocell chassis, which integrates the fuel cell for a lightweight yet robust structure. This design contributes to its dynamic handling and agility, amplified by the Ohlins/Arch proprietary suspension setup. The fully adjustable FGRT series front fork and the rear shock with hydraulic pre-load adjustment allow riders to fine-tune their ride to perfection, accommodating both spirited cornering and comfortable cruising. Coupled with powerful braking systems featuring double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear, the Method 143 ensures that performance is matched by safety and control. **
