There Are Some Pretty Futuristic Bikes Out There,

but this has to be one of the more way out ones,

 if for no other reason than it sports a 26" front wheel, which with tire makes for 30" it is the biggest front wheel I have ever heard of on a motorbike,

the bike took Igor Akrapovi? about 800 hours to make, he is an ex-racer and current exhaust systems specialist builder who collaborated with Slovenian Dreamachine Motorcycles, the eye-popping Full Moon Concept Motorcycle made its public debut before a stunned crowd at the Bad Salzuflen Custombike Show in Germany, the bike is powered by a S&S Knucklehead 1,524-cc engine and two modified custom-made Akrapovi? exhausts and here is the neat bit, it has no side or kick stand to keep it upright when parked!, because the Full Moon's hydraulic suspension allows the bike to stand upright when parked, seemingly defying the force of gravity, also in the neat tricks department it has completely automated steering that negates the need for any visible cables, nice, no indication about the price or indeed if the bike is for sale as the builders have said that it is priceless, but what a head turner!
