This is in reference to another posting several months ago which you can read here:
This article is dedicated to all the bike lovers & thrill chasers
out there!! We love these machines for their extreme designs, the smell
of burnt rubber tyres, the pleasure of being on the edge and most of all
the adrenaline pumping rush. To many, motorcycles are their first love
and they are ready to go over the edge to own them. However for a few
bike aficionados, they love to design and create these machines from
scratch so that they can be the probable bikes of tomorrow. These bikes
are a blend of style, technology, and functionality that defies all
traditional concepts of bike designs. Concept bikes have become a huge
craze with the manufacturers all over the world, Honda, Ferrari, Dodge,
to name a few, they are all vying for a spot in top ten. Check out the
potential contenders.
1) Honda V4
‘Honda’, the name is enough to put this concept model in the league of
best concept bikes. Revealed at the Intermot motorcycle show, Germany in
2009, the Honda V4 has aroused the curiosity of its audience that what
in God’s name is this bike. The creators have only revealed the V4
engine in the bike and nothing more. This bike looks quite rebellious, a
devil in disguise and the world agrees.
2) Harley Davidson Circa 2020
Designer Miguel Cotto presents to the world not just a concept bike but a
time travel machine. If you take a look at the design, you will think
one has leapt across 10 bike generations. It cannot get more futuristic
than this. Hubless wheels is what will strike you first, but a closer
look reveals the 883cc engine, handle bars attached to the front wheel
and not the gas tank. The concept is magnificent but too farfetched.
3) Ostoure Concept
Ostoure means ‘legend’ in Persian. Iranian designer, Mohammed Reza
Shojaie has combined the primeval and the future into one package deal.
He draws his inspirations from the ancient Persian engraving of
Persepolis. The muscular bike boasts of a two wheel drive, Bluetooth
helmet support, HUD indicators, and an air conditioning system for god
only knows what. If our future sings cutting edge technology then this
is the concept to look out for on the streets.
4) Zero Moto
The Zero Moto is destined to be the ruler on streets in the year 2050
and beyond. Conceptualised by Wes Rhoad, for Zero Motorcycles
(acknowledged for their Eco Drives) Zero Moto is a high speed electric
bike, that will be second to none in the future when Eco Concepts will
be the core of modernization. Zero Moto is an all-wheel drive with
electric motors placed in the front and rear wheels and on-board
processor for the control of torque. The hubs and wheels have a
revolutionary design, wherein the front and rear wheel can turn in
opposite direction to allow a small turning radius. A concept so
brilliant that it will make heads turn.
5) Wrath 2083
Designed by Alexander Barnard, the Wrath 2083 is what the future may
look like precisely. It is fully controlled by electronics and computer.
The concept is what they call ‘think out of the box’, a complete revamp
for the chopper bikes. Too bad our generation may not witness the
revolution this bike will set in motion when it’s out on the roads.
6) Suzuki G-Strider
The Suzuki G Strider concept may look radical comapred to the
traditional bike concepts, but is based on the designd of Burgman 650cc.
The designer has taken features of a scooter and a motorcycle and put
them together to conceptualise the G Strider. The super cool and super
stylish bike provides comfort and power, what else could you wish for in
a super bike. The bike’s features include feet forward riding position,
a lower seat which gives the comfort of riding a scooter, handle bars,
footrest, backrests all electrically adjustable when the bike is in
motion, a 916 cc engine . It’s an out an out hero of concept bikes.
7) Suzuki Biplanes
The phrase “speed thrills but kills” is quite apt for this badass beast.
This concept bike was revealed at 2007 Tokyo Motor Show and just as it
is named, the concept is inspired by Biplanes. The Suzuki Biplane
concept uses a semi-exposed V4 engine for power, and a girder-type front
end which is common in many concept bikes. The cylinder heads and
exhaust headers are on the rear sides which are inspired by the
biplanes.
