This Yamaha-branded Deus Ex Machina concept motorcycle was dreamed up by Art Center Pasadena student Jake Loniak, and I must say it looks really mean. You get the best of exoskeletons and motorcycles crammed into a single vehicle, and being a concept Jake has certainly gone wild with its specifications. It will be powered by ultra-capacitors and doped nano-phoshpate batteries (same as those found in hybrid cars), where 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators set along a spine consisting of seven artificial vertebrae are what keeps it in control. Heck, even the helmet is pneumatically attached for superior ease-of-use. Jake also claims that this design can hit a top speed of 75mph, but I hope the wearer will be adequately protected in the event of an accident.

Deus Ex Machina

While it would be very cool stretched out reaching forward going down the highway, but would hate to be in that position when a small animal ran out in front of me, or debris from a vehicle in front suddenly came at meat 75 mph.

If they would put some sort of protection in front in would be more appealing to me.

Also, you'd have to already be in the laid out position if you wanted to accelerate hard.

Mike.

We’ve got a confession to make. While the 2009 VMax is really cool and we look forward to riding it, it’s not a bike we’d ever be interested in owning. At $17,990, it’s not one we could afford either. No, our tastes tend toward the lightweight, the responsive and the challenging; enter the RD350.
This design concept from Motosketches envisages a new model from Yamaha, one that takes a similar approach to the VMax in that it reinterprets a cult model with contemporary pace and parts. A simple, lightweight, high-specification, medium cost, naked two-stroke would satisfy enthusiasts left cold by the extreme competence of modern sportsbikes while still being capable of tackling a back road or a racetrack with aplomb. A steel tube framed, two-cylinder RD could compete on price and performance with something like an SV650 or FZ6, but offer much more involvement and reward to the experienced rider..

Love it if only Yamaha would put this on the road..Cool 2 stroke!! :bigsmile:
