The world is changing for the pits, but at least the people from the biking world can swank off a contrary notion. The concepts, which have evolved over the past few years, are heartwarming and since we people tend to forget, let us just rev up and see the stunning concepts that have made an impact and left a lasting impression.

The SAGA
Designer: Paul Yang and Larry Nagel Status: Project Motorcycle Credibility:
It was a first-time project, which only took seven months to complete. Dreamworks – Saga – video powered by Metacafe Paul 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 to complete and these two managed to produce a moving guzzler mere seven months which talks highly about the efficiency and dedication of this Duo. -
Chrysler Tomahawk Designer:
Daimler Chrysler Status: Production-ready Engine: V 10 Credibility: A sculpture that can be ridden Chrysler Tomahawk 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 fly at 400 mph. Hats off to Daimler Chrysler for making this bike reach the production floor!

Peraves Monotracer
Designer: Swiss Manufacturer Peraves Status: Being limitedly produced (100 units each year) Engine: BMW 1200 CC, 130 hp Credibility: Combines the aptitude of a car and a bike. The 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 12000000 KM 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 half a second, enabling the bike to lean up to 52 degrees more, than most sport bikes in their lifetime.

BMW IMME 1200 Designer:
Nicolas Bubar and Yves Dufeutrelle from ISD Status: Prototype Engine: A 150 hp engine based on the BMW 1200 Boxer Credibility: A startling concept evolved by two rookie designers. Nicolas 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 a good idea. Tell you what folks; it was a good idea for the IMME 1200 to be presented at the next Munich Motorcycle Show at BMW stands.

The Dacoit Designer:
Nitin Khosa Status: Concept bike Credibility: Devil Personified Nitin 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.

The Embryo
Designer: Canadian multinational Bombardier Engine: Complex hydrogen fuel cell Status: Prototype Credibility: Single wheeled, emits only water vapor.
The Embrio from Bombraider is a prototype, which could become a virtual 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 V-Rex
Designer: Tim Cameron Engine: Harley Davidson Revolution V-Twin engine Status: Being Mass-Produced Credibility: It took a leap from the computer screen to metal and rubber For 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 was 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.

Detonator V4 6.0
Designer: Daniel Simon Engine: 6 liters, 4 Cylinder Status: Concept/Sculpture Credibility: Bears no semblance to any existing concepts The, ‘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.
