While most of us are psyched to see the Bat-bike in The Dark Knight, there's also the scary reality that even trained stuntmen couldn't ride the thing without falling off. But it's no problem because there are some suitable replacements.
Inspired by the lightcycles from TRON, France-based Enzyme Design has created the Icare concept. The good news is that Enzyme's last concept actually went into production (the Atomo V1000), so the Icare has a shot of making it to the marketplace. Of course, that doesn't mean you can actually afford it if they do produce the bike.
After one look at the Indian-branded "Speed Racer" motorcycle concept bike by Dan Bailey, it is easy to see how he incorporated the main characters in the Aliens movie franchise into the aesthetics. Using the specs on the Kawasaki Ninja as his framework, Bailey sought to design a bike that was rugged but maintained a sleek look — mission accomplished. It's uncertain if the Speed Racer will ever go into production, but the bigger question is how do you sit on it?
