Futuristic Honda motorcycle

Awesome futuristic motorcycle 3d concept by artist Pete Norris.

Inspiration for this came from a number of sources, the clean functional lines of medical machinery, 70’s and 80’s marker drawings and manga.

As a kid my favourite vehicle from any film was the speeder bike from Return of the Jedi, so I guess there maybe some influence from that too.

I wanted to design a bike that was a purpose-built chopper, long front suspension, feet forward seating position and a large footprint.

The downward facing handlebars and central headlight (positioned under a scowling brow) add some attitude.

Biofuel engine & 2 small electric motors in each wheel hub

Power would come from a biofuel engine, but also 2 small electric motors, one built into each wheel hub.

Honda was chosen as the marque as it has a similar aesthetic to their Asimo robot.

What I really want, is a vehicle can look “far-out” and “futuristic”, but actually work today, using current tech.I did take a bit of artistic licence with the glows in the exhausts though!

Our Take:

 Very original & futuristic
 Very good 3d modelling & renderings skills
 Looks a lot like Asimo robot (made by Honda)
 Clean hybrid engine (biofuel & electric)
 Chance it will be build in the next 20 years – very slim
 Front looks bit too heavy and bulky
 Missing wind deflector & headlights too small
