BMW is no stranger to motorcycle concepts. The BMW Titan motorcycle is a futuristic motorcycle concept conceived by Mehmet Doruk Erdem and not built in Batman's lair but BMW's factory, although it looks like it was commissioned for Batman.

You've probably never seen a motorcyclist dressed in full combat (read motorcycle) gear on a scooter. The scooter demands this from the driver. But that's exactly what happened at the qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix in Assen in the royal class, when the Spaniard Marc Marquez crashed on one of the corners. Because of the time scissors of the qualifications, water was running down his throat, he sprinted off the track and tried to find the fastest way to make his way back to the pits and pick up a new motorcycle. The scooter of the Italian photographer Tino Martin happened to be there, which Mark "borrowed" without thinking.
Japan's Yamaha presented the concept of an unusual electric scooter 04GEN at the Vietnam Motorcycle Fair in Ho Chi Minh City. It is unusual mainly in that it has wings and the appearance of a swan. It is the latest child of Yamaha's RUN (Revolutionary, Unique, Noble) philosophy, which allows its engineers to pour their boldest ideas into a concept and experiment with futuristic materials and technologies.
Who is faster? Formula 1 or motorcycle? A question that baffles many an octane enthusiast, even though the answer is crystal clear. That's why former British Formula 1 driver David Coulthard and English motorcyclist Guy Martin spice up the bet a bit. Who are you putting your money on? A racing classic not to be missed!
With spring, motorcyclists also take a peek at the plan. Motorcycles of all kinds start buzzing on the streets and roads. When we think of a touring motorcycle, a scooter is the last type of motorcycle that comes to mind, and with the Bufalino Camping Scooter, that will change. It is a touring scooter born for camping enthusiasts, as it has everything that campers have. Well, almost everything and admittedly in a slightly smaller form, but enough to provide comfortable accommodation wherever you stop.
It must be admitted that the appearance of the Lazareth LM847 Quad motorcycle excites, because it is not every day that a motorcycle has as many as four wheels and an engine with as many as 8 cylinders.
Zero Scooter Bel & Bel is a two-wheeled electric scooter with the mask of a classic Vespa on a "Segway" platform, as it can keep its balance on its own. Like the Segway, it is designed according to the principle of the cochlea, the human center for balance. It is the first scooter of its kind in the world that uses NineBot technology for operation.
Cars that can move on land and on water are nothing new, motorcycles of this type are. The Biski is a powerful motorcycle on the one hand, and a powerful jet ski on the other. The two-wheeled amphibious vehicle is powered by a two-stroke gasoline engine capable of an enviable 55 horsepower.
"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.
