This bike looks like a cross between a scooter & a superbike! Shocked

Not sure if this has been posted already. I saw a picture in a magazine and thought is was pretty unusual.

They have some pretty cool bikes..... Razz

That sort of design isn't actually that new or revolutionary and has been seen quite a bit by quite a few quasi-futuristic designers.

However, I can't see the sports end ever utilising that sort of thing as at the moment the basic current designs have been fairly static for a while as they've found what works and are keeping to it.

And... Don't you mean they have some pretty cool snowmobiles Razz.
I never worked out why the company who produces a 600cc 2 stroke performance snow mobile decided to make a cruiser bike (apart from them being american, of course Smile).

I don't think this looks like a snow mobile! Razz

I'd rather ride this than a Harley....actually now that I think about it , I would rather ride a moped than a Harley. Laughing

The concept looks like a "muscle" sort of bike. Like the bike version of the muscle cars.

Very ugly.

That concept bike is fugly in the extreme IMO...

Although if I was ever to get a cruiser (which is highly unlikely) I'd be tempted towards the Victory cruisers. I think they look a lot better, and obviously nowhere near as common as a Harley

Slightly off-topic but Bombardier also make snow mobiles and bikes.
They've come up with this

Details here.

AFAIK the R1 engine is a popular choice in jet skis as well Shocked

Thumbs Up
