Fed up with race reps? What about this?

YOU'RE LOOKING at a stunning six-litre V8 concept motorcycle designed by Daniel Simon.

The machine, which Simon has aptly named the Detonator, features a complex front suspension system, hubless two-wheel drive, along with a raft of futuristic innovations.

The man behind the project says the concept will never become a production reality, although two running prototypes have been built.

Concept design lessons:

  1. Get 2 wheels
  2. Throw a load of stuff in the middle
  3. Cover all the crap in some sort of plastic
  4. Hey presto a "futuristic bike"

Anybody fancy having a go?
