Some people say that motorcycle design is simpler than car design. Isn't it just a frame, two wheels and a place to sit? In fact, the simpler it is, the less likely it is to shine. Leaving an impressive design on a simple structure is the place to test the designer's skill.
This time, I recommend ten motorcycles with different characteristics to you, and see which design suits your appetite best!
NXT？ Anger? Electric? motorcycle
Whether you like it or not, the era of electric motorcycles, like electric cars, has arrived. With zero emission and huge torque, it can be "filled with oil" at home. In short, its advantages may be more suitable for personal use than electric vehicles. Moreover, due to the arrival of electric system, the design of motorcycle can be more streamlined and compact than the traditional internal combustion engine, which will also bring revolutionary changes to motorcycle in the future.
Pure electric motorcycle brands Zero and Energica are expanding their territory on new roads, and traditional old brands have followed suit. This is NXT from Holland. It looks simple and flexible, road sports car style, pure black appearance, very cool. It uses a carbon fiber single frame and a 7-inch display screen. It is said that you can book it now and deliver it in the summer of 2020.
BST？ HyperTEK？ Electric? motorcycle
Blackstone? Tek？ (BST) is a world-renowned manufacturer of carbon fiber motorcycles, but before mentioning this HyperTEK, there may be a name worthy of your attention: Pierre? Terblanche. He is the former design director of Ducati. Thanks to BST's exquisite carbon fiber processing technology, this electric motorcycle adopts all-carbon fiber material on the core bracket, so it can make the whole vehicle more compact and firm. This is also in line with the pursuit of motorcycle designers, how to streamline motorcycles? ? If it can be smaller, why design it bigger?
80 kW power, 120 Nm torque, which belongs to DHX? The power brought by Hawk water-cooled PMS electric engine, especially HyperTEK driving 205 kg, must be careful, it can fly in minutes. With a cruising range of 300 kilometers, it is absolutely suitable for urban commuting. It can also choose a 30-minute DC fast charge. Other functions include integrating the instrument display into the head of Japan Cross Company? Up? In the display helmet; Through the built-in sound generator, it can emit the roar of a traditional engine. It is said that it costs 80 thousand dollars, which is really not cheap.
Death? Machine? Yes? London? Kenzo
If you think the first two products are a little "small and fresh", then this one from London's Death Machine Company (Death? Machine? Yes? London) exudes a strong smell of male hormones, just like a hardcore "iron rider" designed for medieval knights. Since the establishment of 20 16, they have won many awards, and they are definitely upstarts among the upstarts. The key is that they are very good at customizing personalized products for customers, just like Rolls Royce in motorcycles. This product is customized for Kenzo, and borrowed from the old Honda of 1977. Gold? Wing? Design of GL 1000 motorcycle. The metal overlapping body design is inspired by the early Japanese samurai armor, but it uses smooth curves and sharp edges, and is painted with a unique car paint called "Titanium Warrior", which is even more chivalrous.
And the most interesting thing is that Kenzo's customized models are full of oriental details. For example, the speedometer in death machine was designed with dragons in Japanese jewelry boxes in the18th century. Under the displacement of 1000cc, the top speed can reach 150mph. But to be honest, the slower you drive, the more you turn around! Considering that it is a custom model of Kenzo, it seems a bit unkind to recommend it to everyone here ... don't hit me!
Aston? Martin? AMB？ 00 1? motorcycle
This is Bond's car! Aston martin, the son of England, inserted his flying wing on this motorcycle for the first time, so its significance is even more grand than performance and design. But it is undeniable that the design of this motorcycle is still sexy and wonderful. This AMB? 00 1 with Brough? Excellent cooperation, limited to 100 sets, using variable geometry turbocharger and DOHC? 997cc？ V-type twin engine, 6-speed transmission with APTC clutch, so you don't have to worry about performance at all. AMB？ The chassis of 00 1 has carbon fiber rear subframe and titanium alloy material, each of which is lightweight, and even the hub is all-aluminum alloy forgings. Motorcycle seats are hand-made leather cushions, which don't look too thick. It is best to wear motorcycle pants. Other than that, there is nothing to be picky about.
NMoto？ Nostalgia? motorcycle
Do you think I'm joking? Isn't this 1934 BMW? R7？ How to introduce you now! ? No kidding, because of the nostalgia in Miami, USA, this ancient classic was revived and rebuilt.
As early as 1934, BMW developed a concept motorcycle, namely R7, which is unprecedented in design and extremely beautiful. Unfortunately, this concept was shelved and never put into production. In 2005, BMW actually modified this car, but it was said that the price could reach one million dollars, so … you know, basically, few people paid the bill.
Therefore, many people were moved when this $50,000 replica version of Nostalgia came out. Air-cooled 1 170cc transverse engine, power 1 10 horsepower, with six-speed gearbox. In addition, body color matching, seat decoration and other parts can be customized. Anyway, it will definitely make you feel that you bought an old car, or the kind of $654.38+00,000 auction. Worth it!
Curtis? Hawk? motorcycle
This is another shocking work, from Curtis company in the United States. Since 1990s, they have been good at inserting V-type engines into strange modeling structures. After all, this is an American preference. The key point is that the name Curtis was the first inventor to use a V-engine on a motorcycle. They named the company after it as a tribute to their predecessors. The design of this hawk Hawk allows people to travel through the movie Crazy Max in minutes, which belongs to the style of that decadent industrial era. Both the chassis and the rear swing arm are made of aluminum alloy, with a top speed of 165 mph and a price as high as 165438+2000 yuan. Unfortunately, it may have been snapped up, because this is the last traditional fuel model of Curtis, and then he started to make electric motorcycles. Goodbye, an era!
Arc? Vector? motorcycle

This motorcycle, limited to 9 in the world, is based on the Harley-Davidson revolution? Based on the X engine, it is pure bright black and shiny, much like darth vader's mount in Star Wars, including its name. Darkness? The side is hand-made by Bandit9. This customized small company often does the opposite and never follows the rules.

Free delivery worldwide, but 3 of 9 sets have buyers. You better hurry. What is the price? $? 32,000。
Cakesa？ Simplified version? Electric? motorcycle
At the sight of this name, the Cake "cake", I guess it's Nordic style, so cute! Indeed, this is a Swedish company, and their car is as famous as its name. They are cute, beautiful and full of minimalist style, but you wouldn't think that their products are always off-road and functional, because Swedes are going camping in the suburbs on weekends. This one? Sa? Simplified version? Electric? Motorcycle pure electric products have certain off-road functions.

In addition, other parts are modern parts, carbon fiber body, automobile dashboard and so on. A car with 97 horsepower 170 kilograms should still run very briskly.
Because the use environment of motorcycles, including the policy level, is not particularly ideal, China naturally lacks many such wonderful flowers. But beautiful designs are all connected, stimulating people's desires and arousing your curiosity. And once it becomes the era of pure electric, is it possible for our electric donkeys running all over the street to have a moment of rejuvenation? After all, the design of our electric donkey is really unbearable at present. The only interesting thing is the calf, right? There's always hope anyway.
