Motorcycles typically have a simple and recognizable core body plan. But this hasn't stopped creative attempts to redefine them, and some are strange indeed.

The corner-carving scalpel has turned into a straight-line speedster
London-based product designer Mehmet Doruk Erdem is well-known for bringing out some of the most outrageously creative imaginations to life in visual form. One of his creations is the Phantom, a custom BMW S 1000 RR land-speed racer concept.
The precise corner carver has undergone a massive metamorphosis into a straight-line machine built to smash speed records. The extremely low-slung design is complemented by an equally aggressive seating posture. The rider triangle clearly shows this machine is meant only to ride for a few (hair-raising) minutes. But if you slap on a pair of miniguns on the sides, give it a gyroscope-enhanced self-balancing function and a high-speed collision-avoiding-enhanced processing chip, it’d look very much like the Moto-Terminator, don’t you think?
