Nucleus - Alternative Fuel Concept Motorcycle
9 May 2008This is what the designer, Branko Lukic, calls the nUCLEUS, an alternative fuel motorbike concept. He thinks motorcycles shouldn’t mimic one another but instead should do things differently.

Derbi DH 2.0 - Motorcycle Mountain Bike Concept
8 May 2008If you remember Project M85 Freeride, you’ll see the same idea in this new concept bike from Derbi, the Derbi DH 2.0, a mountain bike sized motorcycle with a small engine and very light weight.

Recumbent Motorcycle at Znug Design
10 November 2007This recumbent motorcycle looks like it has been strongly influenced by the Japanese movie Akira. These renderings are very cool but since I do not read Japanese I can’t tell you anything about it.
