Motorcycle Apex

Renevatio’s heart beats 90 degree water cooler GM based engine architecture. The machine is an entirely fresh modern direction consistent with past brand experience and the structure of our enterprise as extrapolated from our vision and value system.

Conceived by the leader of conceptual design team, Mr. Ed Jacobs, the motorcycle is at once primitive, bohemian, and yet highly technical. She is skeletal, i.e. she showcases human crafts work. The machine is minimal; using the fewest pieces, moving parts and systems to accomplish her dynamic mission. She is uncompromised, light weight, possesses enormous torque, is capable of extreme performance, yet has maximum real world streetable active safety. She is graceful in motion, yet potentially brutal. She exudes inner beauty through absolute follow through of truth of concept. She has great proportions, holistic brand gestalt, is original, impactful, alluring and elegant. The Driving concept was the creation of a conceptually flexible foundation to allow a place for growth and further iteration;  a utilitarian modular flexible foundation.

This Confederate team interpretation of American industrial and mechanical design rebirth is first and foremost supremely confident and, therefore, demure, sophisticated, eclectic and open.

The first prototype released in 1994, the T-REX is a pioneer in the rapidly expanding world of modern 3-wheeled transport. This revised model offers refreshing new lines and added new assets. Overall, the beauty of this design imparts elegance and refinement worthy of the best sports vehicle.

5. MonoTracer Sexy Cabin Motorycle with Low Emissions

Motorcycle design with cabin is not something new, but MonoTracer has jaw-dropping looks. From the side, this motorcycle looks like inspired by the shape of egg and the result is a very sexy motorcycle. MonoTracer has minimal weight, skilful design and extremely low drag, this revolutionary new production vehicle offers superior drive performance coupled with greatly reduced space requirements and sensationally low CO2 exhaust emissions.

EV06, the concept bike from Honda made a splash at the 40^th Tokyo Auto Show in Japan. Mootably one of the most exciting looking concept bikes from Honda, there are rumors flying around that it is derived from the Honda’s Goldwing concept. With its simple, sleek and modern looks, it appears like a fun bike to ride on.

Powered by a monstrous and torque-rich six-cylinder, this beast has a massive 1800cc-plus engine that takes your breath away. And certainly expect more than the Gold Wing’s 118 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. With the snarling headlight and very well integrated radiator complimenting its looks, EV06 is certainly a work of art.

With one of the sexiest pair of exhaust pipes available in market and ever to grace a Honda, it also has a mono-shock rear suspension. It has a single sided swing arm with a naked tire in the back. Apart from these features, it is also equipped with individual exhaust headers, and has reversed tube forks up front. This souped version of the Goldwing’s B6 engine (as they say) will certainly go for a homerun, if brought into production.
