Topic: Predator bike

[Inigo Montoya]

Obviously not for everyone but the body work is looks very good.

Body work is good and so is the concept.  I think the head on the front is too much though.  I think they could've used other things related to the Predator character, gotten a little more creative, instead of plastering it's head to the front of the bike.

Agreed.

I like the bloody skull and spine on the side, though.   Is that an "Alien" head on the front fender?

Ya, I like the Alien head idea.  I think they should of used a skull though instead, seeing as the Predator collects those.  I dig the skull and spine on the side as well.  I wonder if anyone has put together an Alien concept bike.  I think the curvilinear lines of the Alien would be better suited for this kind idea.

Here we go.    This think ain't movin obviously but it's a beautiful concept.  This is more what I'm talkin about.
Here's the link where I found this.  Scroll down and you'll find it.

In the same site I found this, such insane speeds!
Have you heard of Ghost Rider? Not the comic book character that was turned into a movie starring Nicolas Cage last year, the other Ghost Rider, Patrik Furstenhoff, Swedish motorcycle stuntman extraordinaire. The Ghost Rider video series features some of the most extreme motorcycle action that you will ever see. In part of the 2002 release, Ghost Rider: the Final Ride, the 70km from Stockholm to Uppsala is covered in 14 minutes 55 seconds. His bike of choice, you guessed it, a Suzuki Hayabusa. The bike used in the videos was heavily modified in order to average a speed of 276 km/h (168 mph) for the entire trip.

To get an idea of the speed and power that is involved; the 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 had an unlimited top speed of 315 km/h. The 2008 model is 1340cc and features 12% higher engine performance from its four stroke, four cylinder, liquid cooled engine. With a dry weight (no fuel) of 220 kg, this is a monster. This is the bike to drive if you want to leave a Ferrari in your rearview. A turbocharged version set the street bike speed record of 411.68km/h. Just remember, at over 300 km/h with no seatbelts, airbags, roll cage or vehicle body to protect you, your body is the crumple zone and inertia is not your friend. If you have the skills and the insurance to handle one of these, you are in for a wild, wild time.

That's roughly 256mph
You better be out on the salt flats where there's no one else around!  That's ridiculous speed.

Yeah, search Ghost Rider on YouTube. Dude was awesome!!! Took a LOT of chances and it eventually bit him in the ass. He used to take challenges via the internet. There is one of him going around the loop in Paris in less than 20min I think(been a while since I watched).

I will have a turbo'ed hayabusa someday... My goals are 225 on the street and 300 on the salt. Yeah, I am an idiot.

Concept bikes are cool to have as an ornament,
but for me, If you can't ride it, then the bike
is not really a bike, but a statue.

Ya, I think that's an understandable way to look at concept bikes.  On the other hand without concepts we wouldn't have bikes in the show rooms, or in our case the bikes in peoples yards and barns that we pick up and put back together
For myself I enjoy looking at concepts bikes because it makes me day dream a little.

that predator bike is crazy to say the least. I think they should have reworked the head on the front, but thats just my opinion. Ghost Rider is absolutely insane! I watched him on youtube and my God, he's an outstanding rider. The stunts and speeds that he pulls are amazing to me.
