I'm thinking of trying to 'shop this into the right colors...

Delicious!

Looks like something I'd see in Mighty Lord Akira, the Steampunk version of the seminal classic..

Hey - maybe Skuld convinces Doug to go with some changes to the original bike after all? 

I mean, this one is even in her colors! ^_^

(And yeah... DROOL....)

Maybe she installed a third position on the rocker switch that changes the bike's colours...?

What does it say if my first though is not "How cool is that?" but "How does that work?"

Front wheel looks like it might be hydraulic drive. Is that a petrol engine, a wankel, or a turbine? How badly does that thing go around corners?

I don't know about that particular bike, but Doug's bike is a turbine...

Y'know, this is almost the sort of bike I could see as the end result of a Gatchaman-style superhero morph.

FWIW, it's a render, not an actual Steel-and-chrome bike

I don't think I'd want to ride that for very long, with those short rear shocks directly bolted to the seat, and the long rake on those front forks means it will handle well...right up until you make your first attempt to turn off a straight line. Those forks are also gging to be really heavy, so the short handlebar will make the turning problem worse.
Sorry, I've been riding for...twenty-five years, if I'm doing the math right, and you wouldn't get me on that thing on a bet. Smile That 1930 Henderson that was posted the last time, though? Oh, yeah.

I know it's rendered... but I just can't help myself figuring out the mechanics of it.

And in fairness, it'll probably handle better than most Harleys anyway Tongue
