Beautiful Non-production Motorcycles

akima · November 25th, 2011, 04:10 AM

I was thinking of starting this thread when I found a really beautiful custom Harley. I noticed Andy has just made a 'Best looking bikes' thread but he only wants production bikes in there (which this Harley is not!). So this thread is for non-production bikes.

Here's the Harley I like:

harley-softail-4.jpg

Details about it here.

It looks kinda steam-punk. Love the nickel plating.

Although it's nice to look at, I wouldn't want to ride it.

I'm not a Harley man at all, but thats not half bad!

I'm not a Harley fan either, but I like that one!

This is the iRobot bike from OCC.

I would own/ride it in a heartbeat. I think the lines are stunning.

csmith12 · November 25th, 2011, 06:43 AM

its also tough to put fairings on a harley and it still look good, this one is a pretty good example

akima · November 25th, 2011, 06:46 AM

^ I like the look of back wheel; how it's only attached to the bike on one side of it.

Not sure what that thing jutting out the front of the bike underneath the radiator is for though?

You see that black cover on top of the front end? That's the weapons bay where they are hidden until armed.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder cause quite frankly some of these bikes could be in the ugly thread and some of those could be here. It's 100% personal taste.

He he: I think I like that fantasy too.

Personally I'd love to wake up one day to find the city I live in completely empty. I'd have so much fun! Ok... maybe a few people... to race and to cuddle: I get to choose which ones perform which task

That bike looks a bit like it's transformer that is halfway through it's transformation process. I'm waiting for the legs to pop out

Ok fine. There can be kitties in my city too... which also means I need people to be kittie handlers. That's it though!! I'll want all the kitties kitted out with tracking devices on their collars and I'll also want a heads-up-display in my helmet that shows a little red dot on a radar like display when a kittie is near... that's just so I don't ride over them.

Yamaha Y125 Moegi Concept

^ I'd rock that.

I'm guessing it would quickly loose its looks if you didn't keep it clean.

akima · February 21st, 2012, 12:43 PM

A custom 250CC Honda Rebel. More details here.

Looks really good. Love the white wall tyres, mmmm.

This has given me some inspiration! Thank you!

I have an old 1985 Rebel 250 sitting in the garage that I paid a whopping $300 bucks for. Didn't run so I cleaned the carbs, cleaned it all up, put a new speedo cable and battery on it and it runs like a champ (smokes a little, but that's probably a valve adjustment issue). Actually hadn't started it in 1.5 years, but it fired right up last weekend while cleaning up the garage.

Maybe this will be a fall/winter project next year! If nothing else, it'd up the resale value on it tremendously!

And not everyone has the same tastes. There are some in the ugly thread that others don't think are ugly. So there is going to be some here that won't be beautiful to all.

bkh2 · February 22nd, 2012, 09:38 PM

Beauty is more than looks to me, so the fact that it's a fuel cell prototype that actually functions is really cool. But I do understand how they're not the most physically attractive bikes.

Does it function? It looks to me like it's a 3d model of a motorcycle super imposed on a photo.

If you take a good look at the second BMW photo you'll see that the whole thing is CGI. It's just a concept bike atm and hasn't been built yet.
