Posted
by
Last week, we brought you bike designer Oberdan Bezzi’s concept art for the new BSA (we’ve put that at the bottom of the article here so that you can see it again). This week there’s another ‘fantasy’ – we think it’s pretty accurate in terms of what we will see heading out to the emerging…

Posted
by

As popular as the Bonneville range has been, what Triumph could really do with was a smaller capacity machine, one that’s suitable for new riders, even those on restricted licences. So, the T100 was a no-brainer really: take the 900cc engine from the Street Twin,…

Designer Bezzi’s BSA 355 sketch is proper tasty! We like this – but it’s proper pie-in-the-sky stuff. This is a ‘concept’ design sketch (a bit of wishful thinking, in other words) by motorcycle designer and pretty darn good scribbler, Oberdan Bezzi.

Taking the prize for some of the whackiest-looking motorcycles you’ll get close to at the show, the Svartpilen and Vitpilen from Husqvarna are pretty much a must-check-out at the NEC.
