    Adding a small capacity machine their lineup, BMW Motorrad is pulling out all the stops to try and get younger riders onto two wheels. And the new BMW G310R should offer a pretty convincing argument – but what if BMW unveiled three more models alongside the G310R?   Sadly, these are not ‘official’ concepts. They’re…

    Yamaha has shown this funky modern/retro scooter at the Ajang Vietnam Motor Show. The Yamaha Glorious 155 Concept – what a name! – might ‘just’ a concept at the moment but, to be honest, it’s a pretty standard chassis, engine etc under the swish bodywork so this scooter would be pretty straightforward to take from…

    Now, this is only a concept (well, it’s a bit of animation by some students… concept seems to be pushing this a bit far) but it’s worth a moment of your time. The footage comes from four digital design students at ISD Valenciennes in France. We know no more than that it took them ten…
