Suzuki Biplane Concept
The Suzuki Biplane motorcycle that was
on display at the Tokyo Auto Show was inspired design-wise by the classic Wright
Brothers biplane, but I personally think it looks more like that red mean
machine that Akira rode in the groundbreaking anime by Katsuhiro Otomo. Will
there be secret wings hidden inside this beast? Probably not, but chances are
you'll be able to fly in this thing and put just about any other vehicle on the
road to shame with your speed.
Feel the joy of riding motorcycle! Look at this motorcycle! This concept model
"The Biplane" communicates the joy of two-wheel mobility through a design that
was uniquely inspired by the feeling of flying or piloting an aeroplane, which
gives motorcyclists a similarity feeling while riding bikes. Despite being a
modern machine, it gives a great feeling of openness-thanks to a shape that has
a biplane - no canopy - motif, which was always giving softer, human-friendly
and warm feeling to us. It's powered by a V4 engine.
