To gather ideas and inspiration for shapes and lines that I could use on my design I have looked at motorcycles.The Light Cycle from the movie Tron has an interesting extremely fluid shape and illuminated sections; I see the illuminated area style as inspiration for my design because it looks awesome and would help improve visibility.
IMME 1200 concept from BMW is mainly exposed; it doesn’t have a skin that completely covers it like other bikes. I find being able to see the working mechanisms attractive and enjoy the balance between covered and exposed parts
Hondas V4 concept utilises hub less wheels and makes a feature of the empty space where the rims would be by putting mock spokes in, I enjoy the front focused look this bike has because it creates an unbalanced dramatic aesthetic.
The CB750 concept by Honda Is the design out of this group I enjoy the most. The angular styling is different from the curve focused designs other bikes have. It achieves a stealthy, robotic look which is emphasised by its headlights. The black and white colour scheme is set off by the red rims and an interesting grey scale effect is created by the angular panels.
On the Ghost concept I find the curved form attractive, however I don’t think the motor cover is broken up enough, it is too flat and the surface appears too large because of this.
I don’t enjoy the look of the Super Bike Board; however I find it interesting in that it is similar to my idea because you stand on it.
