Harley Davidson Circa 2020
Somebody pass me a helmut and a time travel ship because if this is what Harley bikes look like in 10 years, I’m so there. Designer Miguel Cotto pays homage to the big road hogs by keeping the large 883cc engine, complete with high revs and roars. The similarities end there. The design is almost tron-like in execution. Check out the wheel hubs. They’re actually giant bearings. I do see glimpses of Harley DNA in the center chassis but seriously, can you image any road warriors riding this?
Designer: Miguel Cotto

Someone needs to practice more rendering and modeling! This looks like a 2h tutorial i maya..
looseroots says
Its funny…..you can always tell when somebody who is not familiar with the product that they are designing. So in the future safety and comfortability are a thing of the past? hmmm……can’t wait!
Myth says
“Comfortability” isnt a word Moron.
english says
“Moron” shouldn’t be capitalized, idiot.
Myth says
It’s capitalized because of such emphasis I am putting on the word “Moron.” Almost as if it were his name. Besides, I would think that people critiquing someone elses designs would want to use “real” words that make sense. Showing they know what they are talking about. Instead of making words up to bring down the piece being reviewed. When they themselves dont give any solid ground as to what they are saying.

Star Wars Podracer?
No thanks, future looks awful..
Artful Dodger says
LOL! This looks like something of iRobot. Looks pretty sexy though ^^, really futuristic. It looks really wierd and I can’t imagine driving 200-300 miles with it without getting a tummy ache or something but then again, it will be extremly fast I’m guessing?
Harry says
Very futuristic, that I think it’s still impossible in so many ways. But we can still dream.
Daniel says
You folks need to let go of reality and just look at it for what it is; Wicked. I’m sure it can inspire someone to try something new. I think it would evolve into something a younger generation would want, rather than the old guard.
Leandro says
Tron Legacy’s motorcycle is much better…
Klappstuhl says
SON OF A… I’M WORKING ON SOMETHING WAY TOO SIMILIAR!!!
Confucius says
Lets see it! It wont be too hard to beat this one. The overall concept isn’t that hard to drum up, so you must have been anticipating it.
Klappstuhl says
I’m not in the concept stage anymore. The parts are already in my garage.
Canastrophy says
Wait, Miguel Cotto? Like the Boxer?
SuiDepPhaStu says
Hollow wheels: check. Utter lack of engineering know-how: check. Co-opting a brand that would never consider such a radical departure from their established aesthetic, much less one so shitty: check indeed.
This is a generic third-rate set of renders, and this is a designer I would expect is starving, given the stark lack of quality in his work.
Lex says
Speaking as a motorcyclist, I’m not entirely convinced it would ride well at all. The ergos look they’d be torturous for a real rider. I suspect the handling would be awful, too.
As for H-D’s motors? No thanks. They don’t have a good track record when it comes to engineering. And their 883cc engine (that they put in their smallest bike, the Sportster) can’t compete with several 600cc engines from other manufacturers when it comes to performance and power to the wheel.
Chad Engle says
I agree with you. I am a rider as well and it looks like your chin would get owned by the gas tank. Also, why not the 1200 from HD instead of the wussy 883. Def not very comfy.
CITguy says
Sorry to say, but it’s already been done.

weshwesh says
yeah and done much better than this one…
Canastrophy says
The new Star Trek movie had a bike with hollow wheels too.
SpeedCretin says
Complete lack of functionality aside – but am I missing something here – were did Miguel hide the ‘high revving’ monster of a 883 motor? It’s an ancient aircooled twin with a huge primary & tranny (not to mention a carburetor and exhaust). Please – someone take the trial copy of Rhino away from this man before he hurts somebody. Stick to unusable furniture Migueland leave garbage motorcycle design to the Teutuls.
void says
That’s TRON’s lightcycle’s copy…
And Tron’s cycles are much stylish! ;P

Arre says
exactly what i thought too
manuel ruiz says
future can be sexy , without becoming a bad executed copy of a scifi movie. this “design” doesn´t even use the formal language of the brand.
nice try smart…
sorry for the awful english…
Sheri Fresonke Haroer says
Hidden engine?
arnel says
wow a relly cool design would like to see a maya tutorial on this
gr8pixel says
looks like someone has watched Tron Legacy! LOL
tommyjj says
I like! Very cool… though, given that Harley Davidson aren’t famed for being the most contemporary bunch, the year should be more like 2120.
Morgana DAlmeida says
This ain’t no Harley..
Nah, bad concept for it.
