I remember stealing a magazine from my school library that had this bike on the cover. I couldn’t stop reading about it so I had to have the magazine and I still have it.
imagine them building this thing today....equipping it with a busa motor and all the latest electronics....yeah it would cost a bomb,but there are those out there that would pay the premium for such a unique bike.
I loved that bike when it first was displayed. I learned some more about it today so thanks for that. It's a pity that the swingarm front end didn't take on given its advantages.
This is amazing! The drive train, like a differential system, seems like ir could be inproved by having it get split in the transmission and use the axle housing to be a structural member to the fork & engine to then send it to the wheel through an suspension setup that allows for a axel to move with a pivoting connical gear or something that transfers the power to the front wheel. I like using this design for some of my concepta but its something that weighs a lot. So i figured i wpuld switch them to a independent link suspension bottom mount gear, like a 4x4 or awd torque vector differential of a regular car, to the transmission of the engine that has a vacuum & air - fluid shock spring vertical mount that is also a mono fork to the gas tank above. That way it weighs a lot less now and is structurally much stronger. Then the seat is basically the same thing but with a exhaust structure to help with stiffness & weight. Im glad one of my designs was also thought about by others, actual engineers with degrees i dont have.
The fact that this design can now never be reproduced in the future or can humanity draw more better lines is due to limitations in homologation motor vehicle laws...this implies on everything pre90s era on cars and bikes....we had a more artistic free hand to draw vision which would still make it to daily roads and not just tracks.....stunning breathtaking piece of history...
I NEVER seen (or knew) there was a rideable version of this! All I ever witnessed was simply photos from the TMS. Maybe its me, but I am perfectly fine with the looks. Just slap on on forks, and typical modern swingarm, and id be fine with it. The other bike I loved looking at, was the Yamaha Morpho. (Another "forkless" bike, that everything was adjustable, either by setting it yourself, and/or electrically powered. (The closest that bike came to be was the GTS 1000. Beautiful bike, but those that owned it said you cant feel the tire, and road. Due to its type of steering.)
You have to have the concept bike before you can have the production bike. It would have been a disaster in production, but marvelous as a testbed for new ideas. The most expensive motorcycles often debut the latest really expensive technology and as the price moves down, due to economies of scale, it can be found in everyday motorcycles. ABS, riding modes, IMUs, quickshifters.
well, suzuki 2004 and bellow is goodyear, after that year sellng point was drop for unclear reason even today, i remember in 2003, suzuki bring crazy future proof concept called G-Strider. yes they never release that bike, cause no money to develop to mass production and small market for exclusive bike. strangely, in 2014 honda release similar design, called nm4 vultus, isn't it wow 😂.

You ….! 🤭

Timeless design. Sill looks relevant in 2024. I want one!
This was my wallpaper for decades. I still want it.

It's still futuristic looking by today's standards.
remenber the gilera 125 cx or the yamaha morpho or the ES21 honda
also the 1993 yamaha gts 1000 quite special too
I once saw a CX advertised in Luxemburg for reasonable money. Almost too reasonable. Should have fetched it anyway.

Well, they can now certainly make it into production. They better do it
Fantastic! Not sure about it’s turning circle though.
I love this bike
Thats a cool looking bike!
Dream machine
Remember to Nuda your dog... :D :D

Pretty lackluster voice over job. Who doesn't know that "H" stands for "hour". goofy.
"PromoSM" 😀
