Strange at first, but something very cool about this concept. Take a look...

BTW, just landed here after running from the banner infested "new" DML....this place is a breath of fresh air.

Wow!!! i would get that to put in my living room. ;D looks like a coffee table.
Methinks it would be interesting on a windy day . Would be easy to keep clean, nice flat panels .
Can I get one in Tricolore?
QuoteWhy motorcycles mirror ferocious animals from the wild?
Ooh motorcycles are scary. I'll drive a non threatening refrigerator box instead. Somehow I don't think this will take off.
The top of the tank looks like a modern toilet. [laugh]

I get the impression that it's supposed to make me feel warm an IZ_. It doesn't.
Me neither.
In fact
I hate it.
;D
and I though the 696 was ugly :o
now this phone thing from that site looks cool http://nonobjectbook.com/Tarati/
totally useless, but cool
oh yea - and the spoon thing, I'd buy the spoon http://www.nonobjectbook.com/1001/
That's ummm interesting... not in a good way...
Interesting web site. Glad you managed to find us. As for the bike it's intrigueing, you'd have to lift the skirts a little higher though. THat thing would have less cornering clearence than a HD as is. That doesn't make it city friendly for commuting through tight areas to me. It is a interesting concept though! [thumbsup]

Can you say "Dangerous and Impractical" design nightmare? Ever try to hold a 4X8 sheet of plywood up in a 70mph headwind?
There is a reason that "motorcycles mirror ferocious animals from the wild" and not sailboats !! Someone please shoot these new-earth designer types for me. [roll]
Why I'd even take a 696 over that. ;D
No thanks.
But that phone does look pretty f'in sweet.
I would list it on ebay, and let the highest bidder put their logo on the side of it for a month. Then.... I would go to walmart and cruise for hot chicks.
**ahem**....
huh?? ??? ??? ???
It looks like you're riding a wall down the street....
Well, they made sure to show that the bars can move, but what about the shifter and the rear brake pedal?

Why would you need to do that? ???

It probably runs on a big electric-hybrid motor, has no transmission and uses regenerative braking. [roll]
wow [roll]
Products for hypocrites that want to be anti-mainstream, anti-consumerists so they can emulate the eclectic elite... While the designs certainly are unique looking, there is a good reason that so much capital has been poured into evolving the designs of the more traditional products that are currently on the market.
Fugly [bang]
this sums up that entire company

Fixed it for you [cheeky]
Right angles. Comfortable! Design should first serve a purpose. That purpose should never be "to look awesome." Fail. It is not even that interesting to look at.
I'd paint up the sides like bricks and then park it next to a brick wall just for fun.
I'd own it. I'd ride it but it would have to be (as they quote) around town because freeway speeds would be flat-out scary should you encounter a side-wind!
Nice that some designer is thinking outside the (wait for it) box, but it's appearant the designer DOESN'T ride a motorcycle. At all. At any time. Ever.
At the bottom of the page they state that they're looking for investors. I bet people are just chomping at the bit to invest in that wonderful idea.
I'd love to see what happens when a good sidewind gust hits you. Actually I'd hate to see that.

the same type of twat designed the super miracle building i work in. it's a make the beast with two backsing nightmare. retard graduates with nice drafting skills need to play with 3D items before getting shit like parking lots and workspaces built.. or motorcycles.
it's going to cost us over 30K to change the lights in a 7 story stairwell, because, although fully glass and delightfully lit during the day the stairwell is dead dark at night now that half the bulbs have burned out. the bulbs burned out, you say? but aren't they the super-eco-nifty small fluorescents? why yes they are, however they were never spec'd to go 24/7 with the heat of the sun and their own heat pent up in the spiffy little tiny niche under-stair pots they're in. they have to go 24/7 because they're in a stairwell which is a main emergency egress. there's no way to reach them, easily, because the designers were SURE the bulbs would go for 10 years. state of california says "NO LADDERS ON STAIRS" so we can't sneak them out one-by-one, even. more than half are out, we're contemplating the work order for the scaffolds, and running string lamps down four floors to provide emergency illumination.
RAHR, make the beast with two backsing ARCHITECHTS!
