Is the Julian Silva motorbike real, or is it just a very big toy? OK, it’s just a concept right now, but will any man or woman take what looks to be a LEGO-pieced two wheeler seriously? Let’s see what this concept might mean for the motorcycle community.
The Julian Silva motorbike hopes to revolutionize the weight, and therefore overall performance, of the traditional motorcycle. By introducing an aluminum framework, covered with carbon fiber panels to store all the mechanics, it could radically reduce the weight of motorcycles as we know them today. Both performance and stability will be improved as well.
