Going Huge: What it Takes to Design a Concept Bike

Even though we normally feature physical motorcycles that can be touched and ridden, this is a remarkable and unusually intriguing concept. So we squeezed Bill for a full look at it, and a glimpse into Huge Moto’s thought processes.
What’s the idea behind MONO RACR"
A retro-modern design aesthetic, combining the latest race bike tech with track-proven frame geometry, component setup and aerodynamics.
What was your frame of reference when designing the chassis"
We started with the idea of a futuristic carbon fiber frame and swingarm, which matched much of the track-proven hard point dimensions on race and sport bikes. We focused on the relationship of the frame to the motor and other significant components.
We tried as much as possible to learn from existing bikes and not re-invent the wheel on every component. Once we had a frame design we liked, we started laying out everything as efficiently and intelligently as possible?knowing we wanted to end up with a very clean, curvature continuous outer fairing design that would hug the hard bits.
We don?t like all the crazy, over-designed elements that seem to get more pronounced year to year with the current crop of sport bikes. So we needed a bold, simple design element that could be a flexible theme that could pull the whole bike together visually.
So we came up with this idea of an angled vector line. The side view of the bike is comprised of these repeated design lines from front to back. This styl...
