Some bikes are the previews of production bikes while some have authentically become production bikes, we can take the example of R nineT Scrambler which was revealed by BMW as Concept Path 22, and the B-king which came out as a supercharged concept. We are still waiting for Recursion by Suzuki to appear. So, here is the list of Top Ten Weird Bike Concepts of All Times.
Top Ten Weird Bike Concepts of All Times – Top Rated
10. Sbarro concept
The Sbarro concept made by boutique Swiss sports makes us claustrophobic. It was revealed at the Paris show in 2008 with hub-less wheels and mannequin on the seat. It’s more like a wheelbarrow and not a motorcycle.
9. Honda Dream Kids Dokitto
It had a 31cc engine, and the Meccano style kit to make one’s vehicle was probably a good or a bad idea. The do it Honda introduced yourself kit in 1997 as a prototype. It was powered by a small displacement engine that was designed modularly. The Dream kids “Dokitto” or “Wakuccho” karts can be created by these engines and make the child’s imagination bigger.
8. Yamaha Morpho 2
The 1991 Yamaha Morpho has active suspension, riding position, and wheeling stare. It was a shape-shifting concept of 1989 Morpho and came out in 1991 as a debut. Yamaha claimed that it gives significant improvements in performance with its 1000cc engine. But the TDM850 was the only hint that came into being.
7. Yamaha Maxam 3000
The American yachts of the 1950s inspired the creation of Maxam 3000, and the handling suggests that it’s made to be on the water.
It was 3 meters long when introduced in 2005 and had ’3000’ in its name. It would’ve turned head if made into production.
6. Suzuki XF425 Ugly Duck
The goody colors of 1990 now seem to be forgotten. The 1991 exhibit A is known as Suzuki Ugly Duck. It had two-stroke engine and two wheels, and the name brings a concept to Mind which isn’t very positive.
5. Morbidelli V8
The 200kg V8 is the reason for stress for people who’d lift it. It was revealed in 1994 as a sports tourer by defunct Italian Morque Morbidelli with the highest price of £90,000 which was too expensive to produce, so it never received the PR.
4. Porsche concept
From mud and water, the 1979 Porsche car maker concept focused on safety, comfort, and protection instead of speed which is usual. The shielded running gears and wheels by streamlined fairings were created to keep the rider clean and removing the need for unique clothes. It has adjustable and heated handlebars and seats which were a good idea for that time. The integrated knee pads are the things that we’re looking forward to due to the claim of designers.
3. Suzuki Falcorustyco
The bike created in 1985 was an excellent future technology prediction related to the active suspension. However, it had red herrings with electromagnetic waves and a hydraulic two-wheel drive. The name is Latin for Gyrfalcon as stated by Suzukicycles.com which is a bird in Hayabusa, Japan. So the bike is some form that did reach production with the Suzuki Hayabusa name. However, you should never add rusty to a bike’s name.
2. The Magic Trike
The trike and bike were created by Seyyed Javad Ghaffarian, an Iranian designer. The three wheels are there to act as an aid of stability. The three wheels rotate 90 degrees; it also has seats and cabin with a broader profile. He won the 2008 Car design news contest for his designs.
1. nUCLEAS concept
The name suggests that this bike is unconventional. This electric motorcycle allows us to reconsider the California based studio it has in the back. The firm says that the motorcycle industry has been sent a shockwave with this design, and the heavyweight industry said that such bikes are impossible to be done. It’s still a pre-prototype stage even after nine years so this does prove the point of heavyweights industry.

Conclusion
These are a couple of bikes that were not produced, but their ideas were kind enough to make it to this list. If these were manufactured, then undoubtedly the bikes would’ve proved to make everyone’s head turn.
