The Embrio

2009-01-30T05:02:00.000-08:00

Designer: Canadian multinational BombardierEngine : Complex hydrogen fuel cellStatus : PrototypeCredibility: Single wheeled, emits only water vaporThe Embrio from Bombraider is a prototype, which could become avirtual reality somewhere around 2025 for this technology is too ultramodern considering the present generation bikes. It sports a single wheel and is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, which creates power by mixing hydrogen and oxygen, creating only water as a by-product.

The Renovatio

2009-01-30T05:00:00.000-08:00

Designer : Ed JacobsEngine: 135 hp, V-twin engine, specially designed by KatechStatus : Pre –ProductionCredibility: Easy to upgrade and reconfigureConfederate Motorcycles lead designer Ed Jacobs designed this drastic bike concept with large attachment points easily available on the engine ensuring improvements and assorted configurations at ease. Powered by a V-Twin engine, it produces 135 hp at 125ft/lbs of torque. Confederate is confident about this unique concept it has developed and it plans to produce it some time this year.

The V-Rex

2009-01-30T04:59:00.000-08:00

Designer : Tim CameronEngine: Harley Davidson Revolution V-Twin engineStatus : Being Mass-ProducedCredibility : It took a leap from the computer screen to metal and rubberFor Tim Cameron, the Australian designer of this bike, it was a mere ‘dream bike’ for he thought dreams were the only place where he would ride it, but as they say destiny drives us all, this bike had to become a reality. Tim Cameron’s dream were given realistic proportions by the 200mph ‘Y2K’ jet turbine-powered bike fame Christian Travert and now the experts dub it as the most startling motorcycle design ever seen .

The Hyanide

2009-01-30T04:57:00.000-08:00

Designer : Oliver Keller and Tillman SchlootzEngine: 60hp, 500cc liquid-cooled single-cylinderStatus : One fifth of a scale model / currently not going into productionCredibility : Potent for any terrain, courtesy of its flexible rubber treadsDesigned for last years Michelin Design Challenge, the Hyanide impressed on and all with its amazing ability to conquer any terrain. Its flexible rubber treads could pull the machine through, even if its slightest part is touching the ground. We have had no news of it since then but we are just hoping that the Germans decide to send it to the production floor.

Detonator V4 6.0

2009-01-30T04:56:00.000-08:00

Designer : Daniel SimonEngine: 6 liter, 4 CylinderStatus: Concept/SculptureCredibility: Bears no semblance to any existing conceptsThe, ‘too hot to handle’, Detonator V4 6.0, is a mere sculpture with no intention of being a functional bike. This machine looks like a crossover between a chopper and an automotive soldered android and hmmm! It reminds me of those big pizza cutters.

The Dacoit

2009-01-30T04:53:00.000-08:00

Designer: Nitin KhosaStatus: Concept bikeCredibility: Devil PersonifiedNitin Khosa designed this amazing concept to satiate a thirty plus individual who was looking to redeem his attitude and youth with a stunning, aggressive, and evil looking bike. Khosa answered his cause by creating the Dacoit (a class of robbers in India who act in gangs and are usually armed and dangerous). The face of the bike depicts an evil figure whose eyes/headlights are peeping from underneath the hood.

BMW IMME 1200

2009-01-30T04:52:00.000-08:00

Designer : Nicolas Bubar and Yves Dufeutrelle from ISDStatus: PrototypeEngine : A 150 hp engine based on the BMW 1200 BoxerCredibility: A startling concept evolved by two rookie designersNicolas Bubar (22) and Yves Dufeutrelle (24) are design students at the international school of design and they thought that a sports bike based on the BMW 1200 boxer would be good idea. Tell you what folks; it definitely was a good idea for the IMME 1200 would now be presented at the next Munich Motorcycle Show at BMW stands.

Peraves Monotracer

2009-01-30T04:50:00.001-08:00

Designer: Swiss Manufacturer PeravesStatus : Being limitedly produced (100 units each year)Engine: BMW 1200 CC, 130 hpCredibility: Combines the aptitude of a car and a bikeThe Peraves Monotracer combines the features of a sports bike and a sports car and if any of you doubt it, just as a substantiation, it took Peraves some 90 prototypes and 12 million kilometers to be sure that they live up to the rumored repute . When the driver dives into a corner a retractable stabilizer wheel is positioned in less than a half a second, enabling the bike to lean up to 52 degrees more, than most sport bikes in their lifetime.

Chrysler Tomahawk

2009-01-30T04:46:00.000-08:00

Designer: Daimler ChryslerStatus: Production readyEngine: V 10Credibility: A sculpture that can be riddenChrysler Tomahawk for me is the ‘Big Daddy’ of all motorcycles. You ask me a reason and I have one many; for a V10 engine, which makes it capable of producing 500 horses powers it, is the foremost of them all. With a capacity of 8.3 liters and a ten-cylinder engine, it can literally fly at 400 mph. Hats off to Daimler Chrysler for making this bike reach the production floor !

TOP 10-6 BIKES

2009-01-30T04:44:00.000-08:00

Designer: Paul Yang and Larry NagelStatus : Project MotorcycleCredibility: It was a first time project, which only took seven months for completionPaul Yang wasn’t a designer by profession and he merely fluked it to join hands with the famous Larry Nagel but the amateur status of Paul did not prove to be a hindrance by any means. Indeed, a first time project bike conventionally takes 18 to 24 months for completion and these two managed to produce a moving guzzler mere seven months which talks highly about the efficiency and dedication of this Duo .

The Fastest Production Motorcycles In The World

2009-01-30T04:31:00.000-08:00

The philosophy behind the Superbike category, which was created half-way through the 1970s, was to race bikes that were very powerful but were in any case similar to production models on sale to the general public. The possibility for the general public to identify themselves with the bikes in this championship that were so close to production models has been the basis for the success of the Superbike category.These are some of the most powerful and fastest Superbikes available in the market ranked by its maximum speed:

MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K 227 mph (365 km/h)
