It seems like everywhere you look there's a really cool motorbike cruising by revving
the engine.
I'm Reacher.
In this video, we're going to show everything from a Jaguar to a Rhino as we bring you 10
of the coolest and craziest bikes found on the internet!
Number Ten - Dc Shoes Surfing Bike
We have featured boats that drive on land but, what about a motocross bike riding the
waves in Tahiti?
That's what DC Shoes and pro stunt rider Robbie Maddison did when he turned his pipe dream
into a reality.
With thousands of hours spent tweaking the bike's design to ensure optimal buoyancy,
and dozens of test rides, his dream was finally realized.
By placing a plastic ski for durability, and an inflatable bag to prevent the bike from
going under, the historic ride could finally take place.
Once perfected, Madison stated he felt like a child on an amusement park ride and was
having the time of his life.
Number Nine - Self-Riding Honda
With the increasing popularity of self-driving vehicles, it's no wonder why a car company
would dive into other arenas, such as autonomous motorcycles.
Honda did just that and created its amazing riding assist motorcycle to aid riders in
balancing and speeds under three miles per hour.
Using their riding assist technology from Honda's UNICUB personal mobility device, the
bike opens up endless possibilities for drivers.
It makes tasks such as summoning the bike a reality that can soon be actualized.
Number Eight - Jaguar Motorcycle Night shadow
How did one Jaguar automobile fan pay homage to the brand?
By building a Jaguar inspired motorcycle, of course.
The completely street-legal Knight Shadow has a frame made of 4130 stainless steel,
finished with an ebony lacquer gloss.
Powered by a thunderbolt v-twin-engine, this moving masterpiece can reach top speeds of
50 miles per hour.
The company was so impressed with the bike that they are talking about incorporating it for
marketing opportunities.
In fact, if you wish to acquire the Night Shadow for your own, it will cost you a pretty
penny coming in at around five hundred and sixty-seven thousand dollars.
Number Seven - BMW Alpha
Some concepts never see the light of day,
while others like this Alpha BMW become revolutionary
pieces of machinery.
Machinist Mark Atkinson turned this concept into something you'd see in the next Captain
America movie.
A beautifully designed, futuristic yet functional vehicle.
The Alpha is based around a shaft driven k75 triple along with a few engine mods.
He then made pieces such as the chassis and hand machined linkage from scratch.
Number Six - The Roaddog
At the National Motorcycle Museum in Iowa, you can find your number six, the Road Dog.
Created by an electrical engineer known as Wild Bill in 1965, the Road Dog was way ahead
of its time.
As a bike enthusiast, Bill wanted to create a custom bike to fit his needs and personal
style.
This motorcycle could cruise at 90 miles per hour indefinitely.
Using a four-cylinder Chevy engine Powerglide transmission, modified Chevy differential,
and Corvette disc brakes, the engineer accomplished his goal.
The result was a badass bike Bill is said to have ridden over 20,000 miles in its first year.
Number Five - The Transforming Uno
The Transforming Uno by BPG motors is the world's first real transformer.
Performing like a unicycle at low speeds while shifting to a motorcycle at high speeds, this
machine functions to do it all.
The unique design of the Uno allows it to compact into a vehicle adept for weaving through
traffic, parking, and bringing inside the home.
At high speeds, the vehicle turns into a full functioning motorcycle that would convince
any bike aficionado to give the scooter a second glance.
And did we mention that this die cycle is also electric able to be charged in just three
to four hours?
The Uno has a range of around 35 miles, with the top speeds clocking in around 30 miles
per hour in motorcycle mode.
For around five to seven grand, you can call this baby yours.
Though you may want to check your local license regulations as the Uno still classifies as
a scooter.
Number Four - Ryno Bike
The Rhino bike is for those who want to save some gas money but don't necessarily want
to opt for the typical scooter or hybrid.
Based in Portland,
the Rhino was created to meet the needs of people with short
commutes to work who don't want to deal with traffic.
The Rhino has a traditional bike acceleration and brake setup with a built-in automatic
balancing system to protect riders when exceeding speed limits.
Using a bike control design, users can ride either sitting or standing and prop their
feet on the ground when wanting to stop.
The one-wheeled scooter has a max speed of 20 miles per hour
with a range of about 30 miles.
Number Three - The BMW Motorrad Vision Next 100
Our next bike looks like it came straight out of a scene from Tron.
The Next 100 is BMWs interpretation of the next 30 years in motorcycle design.
Featured is an opposed-twin engine with a mission list drive that performs like a BMW
boxer.
Self-balancing eliminates the chance of the bike tilting over, making it more agile for
advanced riders and smoother for beginners.
Designers also featured smart glasses, which they indicate will replace helmets in the
future.
The glasses alert users only when a hazard arises or when the user requests certain information.
Otherwise inconspicuous, the glasses along with the other features of the bike, intend
to make the overall riding experience feel very liberating.
Number Two - Kawasaki 48-Cylinder
This Kawasaki 48 cylinder is an interesting custom build, to say the least.
Using 16 Kawasaki KH 250 engines that have been reorganized into three stacks of cylinders,
this bike weighs in at a hefty 1,000 pounds.
Tinkertoy, as the bike is fondly named, runs off six Jaguar e-type distributors and relies
on a 75 cc pit bike engine to start.
Number One - Hemi Powered Big Wheel
As part of a contest from Chrysler that asked inventors to show what they can Hemi, The
Hemi powered trike was born.
Marcus Brown of Vancouver, Canada won the coveted grand prize by installing a reverse
mounted v8 Hemi engine into a giant custom four-foot big wheel tricycle.
The trike comes stock with Goodyear tires to withstand the heavy acceleration, hot rod
style headers on each of the engines eight cylinders, and double-wishbone suspension.
He stated that he had such great memories of the tricycle from his childhood that he
decided to build an adult version.
Thanks, Marcus your Hemi powered big wheel made for a pretty sweet number one on our
list of 10 of the coolest and craziest motorbikes that you can see on the internet.
