Yamaha MT-04 250 FT 250cc Flat Track Concept

What would a Yamaha MT-04 250cc flat tracker look like? Oberdan Bezzi, who keeps turning out loads of very cool sketches, thought it might be an opportunity for Yamaha to open up a segment of the market with something other than a scooter or the usual small displacement motorcycles you see throughout much of the world. He thought if Yamaha built a V-Twin like this it might appeal to the riders looking for something that stands out from the crowd.

He has a more standard sketch for his MT-04 idea but this flat track concept, aimed at the U.S., caught my eye. Think about the large base of new riders looking for a way to get comfortable on a motorcycle but having a problem finding a small displacement bike that looks good. In my mind, this would solve that problem quite nicely. In fact, something this nice might do away with the need to move up too quickly because the rider wanted to get off of his “beginner bike” and give him or her an opportunity to really learn how to ride. Nice idea!

Motorcycle concep: A3W Motiv Trike Concept

A3W Motiv Trike Concept, We had beforehand accounting about Nick Dagostino’s three-wheeled Hayabusa (which is not a approved trike…) here, and now here’s French artist Julien Rondino’s three-wheeled motorcycle abstraction – the A3W Motiv.

We’ve accounting to Julien, allurement him for added capacity on the bike. But for now, what we apperceive is that the bike has been advised about KTM’s 999cc LC8 v-twin. A3W Motiv Trike Concept, The anatomy seems to be a mix of casting aluminium and animate tube sections and the bike is arranged with absorbing $.25 – hub-centre steering, adjustable ergonomics and Buell-style ambit brakes.

Motorcycle concep: Harley Davidson Circa 2020

Harley Davidson Circa 2020, Designer Miguel Cotto’s Harley Davidson abstraction looks like it came beeline out of sci-fi. The affected abstraction is anachronous for 2020, and has an 883cc agent for ability and the accustomed barrage of the Harley. Then there’s the glassy design, hubless auto and the all-embracing look, all indicators to a motorcycle of the future. The architecture is about tron-like in execution. Check out the caster hubs. They’re in actuality huge bearings. So with all those accepted being about present, all you charge now is your affected helmet and affected getup.Somebody canyon me a helmut and a time biking address because if this is what Harley bikes attending like in 10 years, I’m so there. Designer Miguel Cotto pays admiration to the big alley hogs by befitting the ample 883cc engine, complete with aerial revs and roars. The similarities end there. The architecture is about tron-like in execution. Check out the caster hubs. They’re absolutely behemothic bearings. Harley Davidson Circa 2020 I do see glimpses of Harley DNA in the centermost anatomy but seriously, can you angel any alley warriors benumbed this?

CR&S DUU motorcycle concept

Those of you who had the abdomen to sit through Terminator Salvation with your eyes accessible will bethink the mototerminators that launched themselves from the legs of the behemothic collectors. Those were absolutely based on Ducatis, but if you absurd the attending of them, again Italian bike architect CR&S has article appealing close.

Called the DUU Concept, the naked ride is a aggregate of "a adventurous European rolling anatomy powered by a able-bodied American big-twin." The agent is a 1.9-liter (117 cu. in.) X-Wedge supplied by S&S. Wrapped about that powerplant is a anatomy that CR&S says can be tailored by the chump – although they don't announce how above presenting the best of distinct or two-seater versions.

But back anniversary DUU will be fabricated by hand, one-at-a-time, we brainstorm they'll be blessed to do annihilation your wallet will allow. The DUU Concept is actuality apparent November 10 at the Milan International Bike Show. CR&S said it has affairs to body them from abutting year, at €20,000 ($30,000 U.S.) apiece. Check it out in the arcade of high-res images below.

«DUU» on the Milan dialect means “two” and characterizes the complete set of 2-liter 2-cylinder engine, as well as the connection may be one of two “cultures” moto structure. Conceived live you will see very soon on the EICMA 2009 passing from 10 to 15 November.

Speaking about the cultures of moto-structure of compounds in this motorcycle, implying the existence of a European sports chassis and a large, traditionally-unit type of the American V-Twin. The engine will have a capacity 1.926ss, but data on the power and weight of the motorcycle is not yet known. Design DUU swift and aggressive, though, unwittingly, an association with Ducati Streetfighter, if that was designed Harley-Davidson, with the use of design elements from musclebike Yamaha VMax and MT-01.

The company CR&S plans to begin selling «Duu» in Europe by 2011 at a price which starts from 20 000 Euro (29 500). Each year, will be made by hand, only a few motorcycles.

Until I saw images of the Yamaha Tesseract, the vehicle I’d been most looking forward to seeing at the Tokyo Motor Show was Toyota’s i-REAL but now Yamaha’s intriguing hybrid four-wheeled motorcycle really has wrested my attention amidst a plethora of other interesting exhibits. Not a great deal of information has been released about the machine, so we’ll have to speculate a little about just what it might be like to ride, and how nimble it might be. It’s really a four-wheel version of the Vespa, Piaggio and Vectrix three-wheelers except the tilting mechanisms (Yamaha has dubbed them “dual-scythe suspension”) are at both ends, so it’s a carving four-wheeler with both front wheels and both rear wheels very close together and although I’m enthralled by the concept in three-wheel form, there’s something about four wheels which makes me think that the transition will be slow when getting out of one corner and into another but that might just be an aging mind - what really does hold promise is two fat and sticky tyres at each end and the G-forces that might be generated with this machine under cornering. One also wonders just how far the tilting mechanism will allow it to tilt? Given that more than 50 degrees of lean is possible on two wheels with tyres these days, my brain cell is really struggling to picture what will happen when you run out of lean angle. http://yamaha--vixion.blogspot.com/. t’s probably some variation along the four-wheel drift theme and although there looks to be lots of traction available, thinking about the possibilities of getting it rubber-side-up looks frightfully expensive. Look at all those suspension components to bend. Modern motorcycles can be so expensive to crash and this one might be doubly so or worse.

There’s no power output mentioned for the liquid-cooled V-twin and its electric hybrid mate, but the Raptor-like visuals of the bike indicate a performance machine and a big V-twin with electric booster will mean more than enough torque to leave big black marks on the tarmac and a top speed that will be theoretical everywhere but a racetrack.

There is also a dual arm-lock system that keeps the machine upright when at rest without a stand.

Of course we’re being critical here because we’re still coming to grips with what is really a new class of four-wheel machine. On the surface it offers motorcycle performance, maneuverability and frugality with a machine width roughly equivalent to that of a two-wheeler but four wheels worth of traction and road-holding. Bonus - this is a new and potent form of recreational machine and we cannot wait!

VICTORY CORE CONCEPS 2010

A new abstraction motorcycle called Victory CORE abstraction has been credible by Victory Motorcycle Co. Friday at the 28th anniversary Cycle World International motorcycle Show in New York City. The Core is an agreement to authenticate the abeyant that can be accomplished by a achievement cruiser as able-bodied as an agent to bolster the cast of Victory Motorcycles.Victory CORE abstraction is artlessly to apperceive by its name. This abstraction bike abide of alone the best raw and capital elements of a motorcycle, an engine, frame, auto and advanced suspension.

“Core is authentic motorcycle, we capital to band aggregate not analytical and body a motorcycle that uses some of the assembly technologies we accept congenital into the Victory Vision”, said Lead Industrial Designer of Victory Motorcyle, Michael Song.

Victory CORE abstraction with its affected minimalism architectonics is powered by a Victory Freedom 106/6 Stage 2 powerplant that churns out 97 hp and 113 ft-lbs of torque.Victory CORE Abstraction is congenital to accomplish article unique. As Song himself states, “The anatomy and agent architectonics of the Victory Vision was our inspiration, but we capital to accomplish a account above ‘custom’ and actualize article absolutely unique.”The bent attractive bike is elementary not alone in design, but in execution. There is a affair of minimalism that is agitated out beyond the absolute bike giving the consequence that is it all business. The sleek, no-frill architectonics is evocative of the BMW Lo Rider or alike the Confederate Wraith, but with longer, cleaner abounding lines.Victory abstraction bike is artlessly a architectonics abstraction and not a commencement to a assembly motorcycle as antecedence that showed by the abridgement of rear abeyance and credible abridgement of bench comfort. While elements of its architectonics may be apparent in approaching bikes, the Core will never see production, according to sources at Victory.

YAMAHA-BRANDED WEARABLE MOTORCYCLE CONCEPT

YAMAHA-BRANDED WEARABLE MOTORCYCLE CONCEPTmotorcyle like robot

Challenged to rethink motorcycle transportation, Art Center College of Design student Jake Loniak decided the idea of a machine as an extension of the body should be taken literally. Inspired by Biomechatronics and called the Deus Ex Machina, Loniak’s concept is an electric vertically parking motorcycle controlled by 36 pneumatic muscles with 2 linear actuators.

The Deus Ex Machina remains in the concept stage, but it’s expected to go from zero to 60 in three seconds and achieve a top speed of 75mph. It has an incorporated helmet, but no storage space. The single motor is contained in the central wheel and, fortunate for the environment, runs off of nano-phosphate batteries similar to those in hybrid cars.

FERRARI MOTORCYCLE DRAWING CONCEPS

The latest Ferrari motorcycle is still in the concept drawing stage and most likely, that is as far as it will ever get, but from an appearance and technology standpoint, it certainly looks like something the Ferrari factory could get behind.

UPDATE: A comment below by Mark notes Ferrari does not want their name attached to this motorcycle concept and told Amir to take it down from his site so I guess we’ll just call this a motorcycle concept based on an unknown company of Italian origin.Past “Ferrari Motorcycles” were usually theme choppers painted red with a Ferrari logo on the tank, though, Andreas Georgeades built at least one and according to some reports as many as three, actual motorcycles with engines from a Ferrari 308, making for an interesting bike and quite an eyeful with the transverse engine and exposed cam drive.

But what we have here, are concept drawings by Amir Glinik, who started with some Italian V12 pared down to V4 configuration and then slowly built up into the finished design. A lot of thought went into every aspect, including the multifunction hand controls modeled after the F16 throttle quadrant. Those controls, though, would have to be learned much like an F16 pilot learns to use his controls without thinking about it. Pausing to figure out what button or switch does what would be less than ideal.

Air intakes on the sides of the bodywork are active, varying the fin position to regulate and accelerate air flow as needed and even momentarily closing when high speed braking makes use of the extra drag.

The touch screen and information center on top of the motorcycle displays everything the rider needs to know as well as controlling suspension and drive modes, GPS and anti theft system.

Individual components were designed with cues from some Italian automobiles and the overall design is certainly unique.

This is a very impressive design concept that would look great if it was ever actually built. I love the look of the engine and how everything grows from it, sort of like a motorcycle seed.

Be sure to visit the website where all of Glinik’s drawings are displayed. He has multiple color variations and a lot of detail throughout. Nice work!

Thanks for the pointer, Bob!
