Awesome Alien - Predator Themed Motorcycle !

Image
What if an Alien and a Predator decided to put aside their differences and have a baby? It sounds crazy, I know, but I’m guessing that’s what Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn had in mind when he built this mad-looking motorcycle. Roongrojna is a Bangkok-based artist who creates all kinds of awesome metal sculptures, based on popular monsters, using discarded parts from cars, motorcycles and bicycles. The 54-year-old owns four shops across Thailand, called Ko Art Shop, and exports his works of art all over the world. You’ve probably seen more impressive Hollywood movie props, but unlike those, this impressive piece of metal work is actually rideable. I have no idea what bike this was initially, or how fast it is, but who needs speed when you’re riding a metal masterpiece like this, right? It’s hard to believe it was made exclusively from discarded metal parts… sourse:odditycentral.com

Audi RB-1200 S Performance Bike Concept by Gavin Harvey

Image
Audi motorcycle designs have come and gone without fruition. Nonetheless, Gavin Harvey has come up with a performance bike concept dubbed the Audi RB-1200 S that absorbs details from Audi cars like the R8. According to StayOnTheBlack, Harvey’s Audi RB-1200 S has R8 lights. In fact, the Audi R8 standard headlights are comprised entirely of light-emitting diodes or LED. Meanwhile, the front brakes of the RB-1200 S will get the Audi red color with the Audi logo engraved into the metal. Harvey envisions leather seats for the sport bike with carbon fiber detail as well as the four rings Audi logo etched into the material. Further, the rear of the RB-1200 S is to have a twin exhaust, located under the seat under the rear lights. However, performance details of the concept bike were not mentioned. If Audi ever forays into the motorcycle line of production, Gavin Harvey’s design seems to be a possible idea for the venture. via stayontheblack

RK Concepts custom motorcycles look ready for Rod Serling

Image
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension – a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... the SEMA Zone. With apologies to fans of The Twilight Zone, we couldn't help but recite those iconic opening lines when we happened upon these RK Concepts custom motorcycles here at the SEMA Show. The fact that these crazy two- and three-wheeled machines sit in a prominent position right outside the main auditorium certainly doesn't hurt the impression they make on showgoers. There are five concepts above: The RK S, RK Spring Frame, RK Chain, RK Thing and one more that doesn't seem to have a name but features a frame that's almost completely round. We don't really have words to describe them, other than to say that the designer, Rafik Kaissi, swears each of them can indeed be ridden. Check them all out in

Twin Trax: A low, long and mean looking beast

Image
The German Motorcycle Authority has a bike in its arsenal that makes you go ‘wow’. Low, long and very mean looking, the Twin Trax seems to be a cross between a cruiser and something more sporty, so long that you could virtually lie flat. This offering from the custom makers is powerful too, featuring two 80 hp 1.35-liter Harley Davidson S&S Evolution engines. Built and owned by Christoph Madaus in Cologne, Germany, the motorcycle has a wheelbase of 2060mm with an overall length of 2710mm and a height of 990mm. There’s no word on just how fast this baby goes or even how much torque it generates. But considering its powerful engines are mated to a 5-speed H-D with Andrew gears, we figure it’ll give others some pretty decent competition.front and rear wheels are Metzeler ME880 tires while the front pegs, mirrors, fenders and oil cooler are Twintrax aluminum. The rugged and dull paint color was conceptualized by Madaus himself while the actual job was undertaken by Nicolay/ Bernd Bolte

Dark Knight Rises Batpod motorcycle

Image
The latest Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" is currently in production and a series of spy photos of Anne Hathaway who is playing Cat Woman in the movie have emerged with her atop her own silver version of Batman's motorcycle, the Batpod.The Batpod first appeared in Batman "The Dark Knight" and was the creation of director Christopher Nolan and production designer Nathan Crowley. The Batpod uses 20 inch wheels from the Tumbler (Batmans avant-garde cubism car) and is powered by the water-cooled single from a Honda CRF450R trail bike. Aside from it's crazy appearance and strange riding position (I think Catwoman would find the ride much more comfortable than Batman!) the Batpod has some very interesting design features.Firstly you may notice the bike doesn't have any exhausts, this is due to the fact that exhaust gases have been routed through the aluminium and magnesium tubular frame. Steering the Batpod is done using shoulder movement rather than wit

Paul Sr designs awesome gold chopper for Donald Trump

Image
One of the few channels that offer real-time interesting facts and shows is the Discovery Channel. Besides survival and nature-related broadcastings, the American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior is one of most visualized shows. One special episode of their TV-show involves fabricating a custom-made chopper for Donald Trump, the American real estate tycoon. His hunger for bling and expensive materials has become legendary, thus this chopper is a great addition to his personal collection. Besides his personal 757 luxury jet that features golden interiors, he’s now the proud owner of a noisy 24-carat gold-plated custom-made chopper, created by the team under Paul Teutul Senior’s lead. The bike features Trump’s name, making it one of the most recognizable motorbikes in the world. source: luxatic.com

Lazareth’s Unique FZR Compressor Prototype

Image
This futuristic bike was designed and built for Mathhieu Kasovitz’s “Babylon A.D.” movie, released in 2008, with Vin Diesel as protagonist. The sci-fi screenplay needed an out-of-the-ordinary vehicle to be driven by Diesel, thus the Yamaha FZR Compressor Prototype was born. Lazareth took care of designing the motorcycle, using a Yamaha FZR 1000 as blueprint. The original bike got almost completely modified. The suspension and the whole frame were lowered, and among the many additions it now features a single arm to the rear. source: luxatic.com

Fat Attack AG Harley Davidson “The ONE”

Image
The bike is still powered by a Harley Davidson engine which is able to produce 110 HP but thanks to the stripped weight it will be a lot faster than the standard Harley. The price for this beauty? “The One” is priced at $145,000 but if you’re looking for a bike with perfect balance between beauty and performances, this might actually be the one.

American Chopper Cadillac CTS-V motorcycles

Image
The American Chopper TV Series is well known all over the world right now and two of the main guys behind the success of the show and of the company as well are Paul Teutul Sr. and Paul Teutul Jr. who have become famous for their custom-tuned bikes for high profile companies and personalities. The newest project for American Choppers was a collaboration with Cadillac in which both Pauls, father and son, were given the task to design and build their own Cadillac CTS-V inspired custom bike. Junior’s bike is a monster with a metallic black finish and full with chrome accents to get a unique and imposing modern look and even incorporated the tail lights from the CTS-V into his bike’s fender. Teutul Senior on the other site kept a classic chopper look to his bike and pushed the power angle with a monstrous V-twin engine and even an extra shot of power thanks to a hidden shot of nitrous. Both bikes will be auctioned off to benefit the Cure Duchenne charity. source: luxatic.com

The Mansory Zapico Carbon fiber Bike

Image
The Mansory Zapico bike was designed by the renowned tuning company together with motorcycle specialist Thomas M. George using quite a lot of carbon fiber to make it ultra light and really attractive in the same time. It features a carbon front mask, seat module, primary shield and silencer, bug spoiler and also carbon fiber trim on the fuel tank, frame, fork, wheel rims and airbox as well. This custom bike from Mansory is powered by a 124cc V2 engine which is made by S&S. It might seem small but this engine delivers 160 HP which is just enough to take this ultra light bike from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. The bike’s wheels measure 3.5×18″ up front and 10×18″ in the rear and come wrapped in high performance tires. source: luxatic.com
