Concept bike from Yamaha

Don't you wish big companies would put some of their concept vehicles into production?



This lovely mechanical creature is called the "Tesseract". It sports not two, but four wheels for additional stability and two engines: one for conventional fossil fuel while the other is electric. Rumour has it they are coordinated for extra-low ecological impact with improved performance pretty much like hybrid cars.

So I keep pondering two things:
* What do we need Sci Fi for when we've got Japan?
* Will it transform into an Autobot or a Decepticon?

The Rotorbike

Although I'm not a connoisseur of high speed motorcycles, I feel obligued to share this picture with you:





A custom motorbike with an 8 cylinder power plant arranged in radial fashion that reminds me a lot of propeller engines for airplanes. Unfortunately, I don't have the specs for this machine.

Beautiful, ain't it?
