Awesome concept bikes

1. Honda CB750: This 2015 Honda CB 750 is a predecessor to the 1970s-80s CB. The frame and body is a unibody contstruction combining carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium. The concept is designed independantly from Honda by a talented 'Igor Chak'. This eco-ride is powered with a four-cylinder liquid hydrogen engine and has a six-speed dual-clutch transmission with electronic lurch and traction control. We might see the bike in production albeit with a Honda Petrol engine.





2. Yamaha Tesseract: Displayed at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show, This bike actually has four wheels excluding it from the list of motorcycles even though its purely one. Recent patent filings indicate that Yamaha may actually intend to build something like this for production. Powered by an electric hybrid liquid-cooled V-twin, the Tesseract promises ample torque and a top speed that will be theoretical everywhere but a racetrack, and when at rest, the machine will remain upright without the need for a stand via a dual arm-lock system.



3. Moto Guzzi De Guisti: Hailing from the Olevano Romano, east of Rome, Italy, Paulo De Giusti has designed some of the most striking Moto Guzzi concept motorcycles that we've ever seen. Inspired by the old Moto Guzzi productions single cylinder bikes’ style, designer Paolo De Giusti has designed three Naked bikes that flaunt their extra good looks and green credentials. Designed to be romantic is the “900 SD Big Mono Naked” that uses diesel/electric engines and comes in the red and the black models. It uses a single cylinder 903 cc with direct injection and turbo diesel engine that makes it ideal for fast riding. This would be placed in a carbon fiber and aluminum frame that uses the motor and fuel tank as stressed members.


4.  Subaru Kickboxer: Subaru knows how the car industry is crowded and the company might be looking into alternatives including two wheelers.Designer Ian McElroy has envisioned a Subaru motorcycle that runs a horizontally-opposed boxer engine, something only few motorcycles currently run.  The Subaru Kickboxer Motorcycle Concept is a street beast with muscles on muscles, thanks to its uniquely set 4 cam, 16 valve engine.  The front and rear wheels feature single-side swingarms, giving the chassis a floating effect from the vehicle’s left side.  The design itself is futuristic, chromed to the nines and appearing like nothing else on the road today.  This Kickboxer looks more like a weapon than a motorcycle. The engine for the layman is sourced from Subaru's WRX series.


5. Kawasaki ZX-10R Vannesson Concept: If it aint raw and green, it ain't a Kawasaki. Imagined and illustrated by Jérôme Vannesson from MotoRevue, the bike is pure motorcycle design nirvana. The Kawasaki ZX-10 impression attached with the tail of a hornet, traces of an RC8 or YZF-M gives the bike an angular racer look that is very eye-catching.


6. KTM Stunt/ Race 125 : With a controlling stake owned by Bajaj Auto, A lot has begun to happen at KTM. The KTM 125 Project is said to be the start of a full series of new small-bore machines targeted at young riders. So far, KTM has introduced prototypes of a naked bike in Stunt and Race versions. KTM continues to expand its street lineup with attractive models for young riders – a smart move for creating life-long customers.





7.  Bimota SB9: The daredevil amongst all companies, Bimota has literally put out concepts on sale from time to time. The Tesi and 500V-due are the prime examples. But since emerging from Bankruptcy the company has not had that wild edge it was once known for. Here comes the SB9 motorcycle. It is ok to scream oohs!! and aahs!! coz Bimota is more of a boutique biker maker than a manufacturer. They source their parts from major bike companies around Europe.


8. Husqvarna Mille 3:  With that takeover by the guys at BMW, Husqvarna has got wings to fly high. This is proven with the Husqvarna Mille 3. The Mille 3 Concept is powered by a fuel-injected 933cc V-3 engine with the cylinders and heads taken from the Husky’s off-road bikes.The steel chassis brings back the classic Husqvarna central "tubone" design, a single-piece tubular form. The double rear beam with aluminium stays is fitted to the outside of the chassis uprights



9. Aprilia FV2 1200: Just like Husqvarna, Aprilia has also increased their level of daring. The Aprilia FV2 1200 is just proof enough. The heart of the FV2 1200 is Aprilia's mighty, 1200 cc, 90° V twin, a power plant that confirms Aprilia's determination to develop high capacity, high technology engines using in-house skills and competence. The minimalist bodywork of the FV2 1200 creates a stunning preponderance of volume towards the front of the bike. The result is a revolutionary, courageous and futuristic look that is destined to form the solid basis for the evolution of Aprilia motorcycle styling.


10 CR&S DUU: The CR&S DUU is a unique model around the world’s motorcycle context. For the first time two motorcyclist excellences are gathered: Italian sporty rolling chassis and design powered by a muscular American big-twin. The American big displacement engine’s attraction, and particularly its muscular torque, doesn’t have any equivalent at all. And for a lot of motorcycles fans, the air cooling system and the pushrod distribution are elements issued from a rich historical past. But it is not a model born only for the huge American open roads. The chassis and its handling performances are much more evolved than what can be thought. These parts have been engineered and designed to warrant a complete riding satisfaction on every kind of  routes, even on fast bends or mountain’s narrow roads. The DUU is an innovative motorcycle, "modular and muscular", with durable materials and components, equipped with a powerful, rugged and reliable engine.
