"Imitation is the most overt form of flattery," said Charles Caleb Colton, and the new BMW R nineT Scrambler certainly nods to that. It is the conceptual twin of Ducati's Scrambler, a motorcycle that takes the rider anywhere for less than $10,000. Information that borders on science fiction in the motorcycling world. However, the BMW R nineT Scrambler is somewhat more exclusive.

Husqvarna returns to the road with the Vitpilen 701 motorcycle concept, which hints at where the world's largest manufacturer of motorized outdoor equipment is headed in the future. It is a modern urban motorcycle that is bathed in carbon fiber and details.
Rossi doesn't really have a serious challenger in Lorenzo, but a humanoid robot from Yamaha. At least that's what we can conclude from what Yamaha has prepared for us at the Tokyo Moto Show 2015, where there are tons of unusual projects, but the Motobot, which drives a 1000cc Yamaha R1M, certainly beats them all. His ride on the abandoned airport closely mimics the ride of a motorcyclist, and it seems that in the future man will no longer be the one who can make the best and fastest turns.
Would you like to give your motorcycle a street, "streetfighter" look? Thanks to the equipment made by Huge Design, you can now convert your Honda CBR1000RR (year 2008 or younger) into a streetfighter and do it yourself. Strip it of excess armor and put on special handles, headlights, rear, etc., for the look of a modern street machine that would not be ashamed of James Bond movies, The Fast and the Furious or Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible.
Despite the name, we don't expect you to actually take the handcrafted Confederate G2 P51 Combat Fighter motorcycle into battle. Well, despite that, the Confederate P51 Combat Fighter of the second generation resembles something from the future, or at least taken from the movie Iron Sky. The body is made of 6061 aluminum, including the fuel tank, and under it is the signature of the American company Confederate Motors, which has been operating since 1990 and surpasses Harley-Davidson in terms of prestige.
Among the flood of electric bicycles, which all serve the same purpose and differ from each other in the same way that smartphones differ from each other in terms of appearance (so practically nothing) - of course there are bright exceptions - the Ubco 2x2 multifunctional electric bicycle stands out from the competition. This 174-kilogram two-wheeler not only looks different, but also behaves differently from the others. It is an all-terrain bike and a true multi-tasker, as you can use it to transport heavy loads in the morning, and chase off-road trails in the afternoon.
The electric motor segment is a fertile field for motorcycle designers. Instead of arranging complex internal combustion engines, they are dealing with an extremely simple and compact engine and a flexible battery pack. Plus, no one has really mapped out what an e-bike should look like, so they can experiment with ideas that would never hold water in the octane world. A typical example: the Expemotion e-raw motorcycle with a wooden seat and an iPhone for the dashboard.
Do you remember when you were a child, a teenager or even a student when you stood up on the trunk of a bicycle? Something similar is also offered by the Moto concept motorcycle, which resembles a sports motorcycle, but with a much shorter seat. The lack of a seat comes at the expense of not two, but as many as four pedals for passengers. Amir Elias' concept Moto allows the transport of as many as three people at the same time, except that none of the passengers sit, but both stand while driving.
Motorcycle concepts The BMW Urban Racer Concept is a mix of old and new. The 3D modeler from London Jans Slapins, who also has a modified Ford and Lamborghini in his portfolio, signed up for the study, and lastly he presented the aforementioned elegant two-wheeler with a white and blue propeller.
The Bond stuntman, a contemporary of Evel Knievel and holder of many records, has taken his incredible antics on a motorcycle to a whole new level. Because if Jesus walked across the Sea of Galilee, Knievel's reincarnation, Robbie Maddison, rode the waves off the coast of Tahiti on a motorcycle! Don't believe it? Check it out for yourself!
Folding bikes are nothing new, but a folding scooter is probably a bit more difficult to imagine, at least in terms of the "bulkness" that a scooter has compared to a bicycle. A Moveo is an environmentally friendly portable electric scooter that folds into a travel case and is therefore no less a scooter than classic scooters. It can take you 35 kilometers on a charge that takes just one hour, and even further with an additional battery.
The ZecOO is a modern twist on the low rider motorcycle. It is powered by an electric motor. Its physiognomy was signed by designer Kota Nezu of Znug Design, and it was handcrafted in Japan by ZecOO Motorcycles.
