We would probably run out of room and into some arguments if we tried listing off all the sources of inspiration that influenced the Honda Chopper, we happen to think it mixes a healthy splash of anime with a futuristic eighties flair, but only designer Peter Norris would be able to settle that dispute for sure.
What we can say with a certainty — is that this sleek and futuristic concept is impressive and saddens us simply because it is just that, a concept. Otherwise this sexy piece of futuristic machinery features a strikingly long suspension, an unorthodox feet-forward position, and brilliant LED lighting along its front and rear. Add to the design two electric motors placed into each wheel hub making it easy on the eyes as well as the environment, and you have a dazzling concept that leaves us begging for a time machine so we could travel into the future and buy one.
If any of you dorks had EVER actually ridden a motorcycle, you’ld know that this thing might look neato, but its not really a ridable design.
oh hi, nice engineering degree you’ve got thar.
Nice spelling degree.
Clearly, you don’t know internet speak. Do you know how to internet? I am think you don’t. lulz
BS. This isn’t your granddaddy’s 14″ over Triumph or your daddy’s Harley, it’s a work of fine engineering.
…that can’t be ridden.
Anyone else looking for the cord to the NES? The ultimate geek bike!
wow!
Couldn’t agree with you more — we get to see a lot of cool concepts, but this is one of those that has us begging it was real!
I ordered 10, they will be here shortly.
So much want, not enough have.
