The number of motorcycle concepts coming into the market are on the rise with the Orion Streamliner being one of the more sculptural out there. Designed after the aesthetic or a bird of prey, the Orion Streamliner motorcycle is impossibly low to the ground, which leads one to believe it's mostly intended for recreational use.
Designed by Mehmet Doruk Erdem, the Orion Streamliner is equipped with a turbo-charged engine that allows it to reach high speeds without disturbing the rider's experience. The carbon fiber body of the Orion Streamliner allows it to be powerful, strong yet surprisingly lightweight.
As the demand for more flexible transportation options rise, we could see more similar motorcycle concepts entering the market to help influence mainstream brands.
