Wouldn’t those arches obstruct the rider’s view?

I don’t think like that.

The frame will protect the rider.

If keeping the rider on the bike during an incident protects him. (It doesn’t.)

That’s an aweful idea. In an accident the rider will be trapped inside the frame apart from his legs, arms and neck which be wrapped around the frame! Not safe at all.

Looks unsafe, like the others said.

Also, difficult to steer, with the handlebars fixed to the frame like that…

There is a lot of thought put in to this concept, and I praise the designer for that, but much of it was not thought through correctly/enough.
Try to extend the parameters of your focus and envisage scenarios using your design in the real-world. This project would have benefited greatly from that, as the design weaknesses would’ve manifested themselves.

I think this bike don’t have any proportion for a race bike. Looking this, I guess she weights 1000kg!

A big tyre in the front whell don’t steering very well. And become more difficult with this fixed handlebars.

These frames are dangerous, in a colision he doesn’t protect the driver. But the opposit, he difficults the rescue.

The designer obviously has never been on a motorcycle before. This is the worse design you can ever have for a motorcycle. Let’s forget the obstruction of view with the bars. Lets forget if the rider low or high-sides he’ll be pinned under the frame and die a fiery death. Let’s forget that the wide tires makes for the worse handling. A Harley will handle better than that design. Let’s forget the cause of him crashing is the non steerable handlebars affixed to the frame.

What I want know is why is the rider wearing Suzuki leathers on a Hyundai?

So the frame acts like a human muscle flexing it to steer the bike, hey?
The line between futurism and sci-fi is once again confused by this designer.

Beyond the GLARING design flaws, it just looks uncomfortable to ride.

Also how are you supposed to get on/in it?

Look at those wheels. Can anybody say Tron Legacy lightcycle?

Give the designer a break will you, if you read the title, it mentions “CONCEPT” – a concept does not mean a completed design, it means it’s an idea, something the designer thought of, in this case I would think primarily because it looks very cool. There’s no point in ripping apart a person’s idea…

Nice concept Min Seong Kim

Maybe the handlebars could steer electrically, if they had a ball joint on each handle.

It’s a bad idea and concept any way you look at it. I have an idea, let’s defecate on a piece of paper and sell it as gourmet sandwiches. Not all ideas are good. Anyone riding this would die. It’s a safety issue. The only way it would be a good idea is if it transformed into Kate Beckinsale and shot gold out of the exhaust.

Terrible concept Min Seong Kim. Please keep to kitchen appliances. Those are awesome.

John, we are actually helping him to find out more about ergonomics – to steer away from plain non-sense styling. In design school, teachers ripped me apart everytime I did something stupid or was not well thought out. They did me a favor by embarrassing me in front of the class. It made me dig deeper and mature into a designer….and yes we know its an idea worth ripping apart. Min Seong will be fine for this.

I know this of course, but I’m sure he knew himself that this concept is extremely unrealistic when he submitted it to Yanko Design for a feature.

It just seems that people prefer to shake his confidence by ripping him apart as you say – rather than simply pointing out flaws in the design that he is more than likely already aware of.

I see that the guy who designed a kitchen sink drain plug and a locking kitchen knife block is uniquely qualified to design a motorcycle. Clearly he doesnt ride.

OK, there’s the obvious sight obstruction, or the fact that in a frontal crash, those nifty bars are going to break the riders shoulders as he flies through the front opening.

Not to mention the stretchy body and steering system is just plain silly.

Still not the right time to publish

Very interesting design…

This designer has never ridden a motorcycle ever
Because
That nonsense design visibility of the rider is not at all
Paying as much as in the corner in front of the frame blocks the view
Use Google translator says.
Dog shit is the same design.

Fair play – criticising concepts for being a bit out there is unnecessary especially when they only fail because of their reliance on futuristic unachievable materials or processes. If we don’t look to the future then we will keep designing the same things over and over.

But when the idea is fundamentally flawed it is totally legitimate to criticise it.

There are concepts and there is fantasy art – this falls into the latter and should probably be on sites like deviant art instead of a design site.

@ john mcgowan

I do agree that we should give people a break but if something is poorly considered why should we hold back and say, “awwww, he tried really hard so give him credit”. This is how people are deluded enough to go onto talent shows like xfactor and humiliate themselves – because no one had the courage to tell them that they are crap.

Sorry Min Seong Kim , I don’t think you are crap – but maybe you should look at the core principals of your design. P.s. your other stuff is pretty cool.

pointless design!

this website said “The whole body is made up of materials that stretch and contract just like your muscles do and enables steering without any kind of assistive apparatus.”

It’s very well thought out.

The rider on SUZUKI GSX-R1000 is copied.

If we were to react this way to every rendering with the word “Concept” tacked in front of it, we would still be in the dark ages. Leonardo da Vinci was an excetional renderer but didn’t waste time creating amazing renders of “Concepts” that he though might be cool. He sketched the “Concept” roughly in an attempt to envision how it could work and if it wasn’t feasible, it didn’t get more thought than that. What this designer should take from this exposure and subsequent grilling is that it’s a waste of time to make really nice renders of something if you haven’t thought about its manufacture or use cycle.

the frame will kill the rider in a serious crash… the only chance to survive is to fall off the motorcycle and roll, if the rider hits the cage instead of getting off the bike he will fly together with the bike and probably gets squashed by it.

concept:: something conceived in the mind : thought, notion an abstract or generic idea generalized from particular instances,nuff said how many of you cool riders took math and science classes……and one more thing try not crashing keep the bike upright…i love peeps always wantin to lay a bike down to avoid trouble.stay up and drive out of it

this is very very beutiful
