Pretty cool, Bryan.

Looking forward to seeing the final render.

Have a good week!

Thanks Ken.

Testing seat styles. I think they were too angular. Trying for a more curvy look.

Moving in the right direction, those thrusters could almost be magnetic types so intakes would be less of an issue, perhaps there could be an effect of different polarity 'rings' on the thruster housings?

Some kind of anti gravity something or other.

No "jet" thrust of any kind. Pure sci fi.

A bit of design inspiration for you mate!

While I appreciate the intent, and that is one damn cool looking bike, I actually find it a bit overwhelming.

Bryan K · 15 Oct 2014, 21:52

O.K. maybe not so overwhelming after all. (I looked up other views of this bike)

Look for a major update this weekend.

Thanks Anton! Still working on it.

Updated seat. What a pain that was! Minor change in the top cowling. Detail added to foot pegs.

Bryan K · 20 Oct 2014, 07:12

Reworked the tail and started roughing in the handlebars.

Bryan K · 20 Oct 2014, 08:23

Meh. Hate it.

@Richard
the small wheels is for beginner, like the training wheels?

Turn it into a render challenge then and who knows you may love the results.

Mike Amos · 20 Oct 2014, 16:13

Second that, nothing wrong with the design imho.
