Concepts

Popular motorcycle accessory maker Puig has taken the wraps off of their new concept motorcycle, dubbed Diablo.

While the concept takes shape from a Yamaha MT-09 SP, there’s no shortage of game-changing elements here, all aimed at one thing and one thing only – redefining aerodynamics.

The GeeRideCase from Japan is an electric motorised scooter built into a suitcase which completely misses the point of scooters and suitcases!

Unicycles are quite unique, but they fail to make little to no sense for the daily grind, which is why they have mostly been confined to circuses. Creative Science, a YouTuber from India though, wants to change that notion and he has thus created a self-balancing one-wheeled EV.

Super73, an electric bike (or cycle) company, has taken the wraps off its first electric motorcycle in Los Angeles. Dubbed the C1X, it will be the company’s flagship product and it boasts numbers to match this claim.

Royal Enfields are popular with custom bikemakers and from scramblers to cafe racers, we’ve seen them all. But TNT Motorcycles, based out of India has taken the road less traveled and has come up with a one-off custom bagger motorcycle based on a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

Dubbed the Neelkantha, which translates to blue neck (this explains the color), the project was sponsored by Royal Enfield themselves. The whole project costs north of $26,000 and comprises loads of custom parts made by TNT Motorcycles.

Let’s take a closer look at this chopper.

Portuguese firm Axiis Engineering, which specializes in aftermarket CNC parts for ICE off-road motorcycles, has gone the EV route and has unveiled its first electric motorcycle, called the Liion.

This is a prototype, though, and is currently still in the latter stages of testing. Nevertheless, judging from what’s claimed, this is possibly the most bonkers electric motorcycle you’ve come across. Why you may ask? Well, that’s exactly what I’m going to touch upon.

The Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 is a striking motorcycle as it is and rarely do we see any custom builds based on it. This, however, is one of those rare times.

Meet the ‘Yellow Arrow’ by Slovenia-based Gas & Retro customs which is a souped-up Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 with numerous bolt-on parts and a very special mechanical upgrade. More on the latter in a bit.

With over 100 Million built, it was inevitable that Honda’s immortal Super Cub would find its fair share of supporters, but did anyone ever think it was going to be a custom-builders dream?

The Ténéré 700 has been a huge success for Yamaha. When the company showed a Rally Raid concept, no-one was sure if it would make production but now new patent applications confirm it will.

British-built Honda Cub scrambler proves that big isn’t always better.

Tesla has made huge waves in the auto manufacturing world but is it about to do the same in the motorcycle world?

The Honda Hornet (called the 599 in the U.S. and CB600F in the UK) was a much-loved middleweight naked sports bike. A recent reveal at the EICMA show in Italy confirms that the name - and the bike concept - is set to make a return.

Design concept shows possible new direction for Royal Enfield, radically different to where they are now!

We recently reported on the Segway Hydrogen-Electric Hybrid concept, but now it seems as if it’s not so much of a concept, but a production-ready motorcycle.

Pierre Terblanche is credited with giving Ducati as design language that can be traced from the 1990s through to today. One bike, the Supermono, was built in very small numbers for a one-make race series and its design influenced that of iconic Ducatis such as the 916. Now Terblanche is working on a replacement and we should be very excited!

NASA has sent men to the moon and provided them with a lunar car to drive around in but never a bike, which would be lighter and smaller but there are problems. It hasn’t stopped one company coming up with a concept, however.

Suzuki has been playing around with a parallel twin replacement for its ageing 650cc v-twin for some years now with nothing ever reaching production. New patent applications show that the concept isn’t dead yet.

This utterly gorgeous motorcycle might be space-age on the outside and uses weapon’s grade aluminium, but it is powered by a humble Triumph parallel twin engine. When it looks this good, do you care?

First seen in 2013, Kawasaki’s Concept J took motorcycle design to the next level, with three wheel layout, shape shifting riding position and electric power. New details are emerging about the futuristic technology.

The problem of making motorcycle riding gear both protective and comfortable has long been a thorn in clothing manufacturers sides: if it has all the protection, it’s rarely comfortable and to achieve comfort often means compromising on safety. This new product could change all that.

Triumph recently teased a new variation of the Speed Triple 1200RS. While the short video tried its best not to show us anything, it was apparent that it will have a fairing. Now, a Triumph Fans’ FB page has published these pictures, allegedly showing the new model in full.

Until the advent of the G310, BMW was sorely lacking in beginner-enticing models and even that model hasn’t quite hit the spot with young buyers. Now BMW has revealed the CE02 Concept, which is an electric bike aimed squarely at the youth market. It even comes with a built-in skateboard!

Hot on the heels of the Trident 660, comes news of a new Tiger Sport 660 model. Rather than waiting for grainy spy shots to emerge on the internet, however, Triumph itself has chosen to reveal the prototype in all its camouflaged glory, obviously trying to ramp up anticipation.
