What's going on with that front end? Looks some kind of weird cross between regular forks and duolever.

That would be the Honda NM4, and yes they've explicitly stated that it's inspired by the bike from Akira. Personally I think it would look much less dumb if it wasn't tiny as gently caress. The lines aren't bad* but they belong on a much bigger bike. (*definitely different, but not bad. Full disclosure though I think the Civic is a good looking car, for what it is at least) Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Dec 14, 2014 |

Small fuel tanks look good*, far-back seats are desirable, and obviously you can't fill the gap with more seat because it has to be* a discrete saddle type. *the opinions expressed in this post are not those of the poster Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Dec 24, 2014 |

I'm sorry, your iron horse has rickets. e/ Even if they're completely non-functional*, they're still more aesthetically varied and interesting (like a train wreck, but still) than artistic dead-ends like wubstep. *post title ought to be "four years to master the art-nouveau Harley: a bike you couldn't do more than rev up in your driveway even if you wanted to" Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Dec 28, 2014 |

Are those knee level pods under the nose secondary headlights? Cool if so, I've always thought it'd be neat to see whether wider spaced body-mounted headlights could work as a look for bikes.

It might be confirmation bias but it feels like UK crash videos embody a higher quality of "you loving wazzock". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUt57VtfU24 (he also would have made it if he'd committed to going straight over the inner circle or completely avoiding it) Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Apr 3, 2015 |

NeuralSpark posted:I love how he starts saying "poo poo" even though he has the room to brake and possibly avoid the whole thing. Based on the type of road, he's doing at least 60mph, possibly as much as 80; the first time he says "poo poo" (having noticed that the trucks have pretty much stopped) he's 80 yards away at best and only just starting to hit the brakes. Not defending the guy, just pointing out that by the time he's noticed the situation he's put himself in there's pretty much no getting out of it without crashing. e/ have a [nearly] twofer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8J4bev-JOk&t=92s Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Apr 4, 2015 |

It's just a fancy dustbin racer?  Their main crime is pretending like this is some amazing fresh outside the box concept. The fairing is a bit fat but overall it doesn't look horrible. e/ here's something that's actually irredeemable: a lovely car that transforms into two lovely bikes.

Ola posted:I don't know about your drawing man. The shock is visible in that photo, you haven't really accounted for it in the linkage. The knee ahead of the wheel hub is also just decorative in your design, I think there is a suspension linkage in there. What? No. You can see the twin wishbones in the video that was posted, see them going up and down even. It's a straightforward girder fork, the reason that little dogleg is in at the bottom is to keep the trail short so that the thing doesn't handle like a raked out chopper. It sounds like you think it's trailing link with a bunch of plastic over the top, which is... a weird idea, at best. e/ here's a picture [of the same kind of thing] with the skin off:

Hossack always did love to bang on about how easy it was to tune his design to have good lateral flex but still be longitudinally stiff, since it's just a solid piece of metal that can be arbitrarily shaped instead of needing to be cylindrical. I seem to recall some people experimenting with having two sets of thinner telescopic forks (so, four sliders total) in order to get similar behaviour (and also that the things had a bad habit of binding under stress due to reduced surface area), but since I can't find any pics of that let's dash off on a tangent: funny front ends are great and all, but how do you feel about Chinese funny front ends?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sK3lVJEkos

Do you really imagine that the sort of person dumb enough to wear sandals on a cruiser is going to have the wherewithal to put their foot in the right place to minimise work/lateral forces going through their ankle?
