Super Green, Super Dangerous, Super Bike
via Yanko Design by Chris Burns on 7/2/09
So you�d like to have a tiny motorcycle. So you�d like to have a fast motorcycle. So you�d like to have a safe motorcycle. I am sorry you cannot have all three! What you�ve got here is a very fast, very dangerous vehicle. It�s called the Halbo, and it�s got a BMW stamp on it. It�s tiny and it�s got a front wheel motor combined with a sphere form rear wheel.
The target user for this vehicle is a �vibrant eco-minded young individual.� Speed on! It�s half the size of the �regular high end motorcycle,� and it�s full name is Halb Organismus.
Wild enough?
Also it�s electric powered. The front wheel is stationary, while the back� tail� turns left to right. It�s like flying an X-Wing! Or� like a motorboat! Or� anything with a stationary front end!

Mega Block Motorcyclin� on Down the Line
via�Yanko Design�by Chris Burns on 4/22/09
Lines. Lines and Lines and lines. With the front face looking like a Lego, or a mega-blok. It�s the �2015 Honda CB 750? by Igor Chak. The engine is powered by a four-cylinder liquid hydrogen engine. POW! A six-speed dual-clutch transmission with electronic lurch and traction control. Electronic tuning by the onboard computer. I�ve decided to call it �Frank�. Hello David, Frank, aka CB750, is here to take you over the canyon top.
This 2015 Honda CB 750 is a predecessor to the 1970s-80s CB (pictured below.) It�s basically exactly the same, as you can see, except it has some computers on it.
Computers! Controlling the tuning. Is that madness? What else we got here� frame and body is a unibody contstruction combining carbon fiber, aluminum, and titanium. Seat cowling is part of the frame, allowing it to carry heavy boys and gals: up to 300lbs.
Front and rear electro-magnetic suspension adjusted, you guessed it; electronically. Sensors show readouts updating every 1/10 a second and can adjust everything on-the-fly. ABS, airbag, and steering damper. Rims designed to be sleek and aerodynamic. Radar technology to �sense an upcoming head-on collision and will automatically slow the bike.� - most of these features can be manually disabled to suit the driver.
Now, the on board computer, which can be controlled through a 5� OLED multi-touch display positioned right on the fuel tank. This is the brains of the bike. There are 3 menus: GPS, Drive modes, diagnostics mode.
GPS mode is like your standard GPS that will give you directions and etc, but it will be connected to the internet through Wi-Fi and 3G. This will enable you to find information on the go and implement it to your rout.
Drive mode: economy, race and standard. All can be electronically tuned.
Diagnostic mode: lap times, gas consumption, top speed and etc.
Me bikey.
