In the mid 80s SuperBike magazine ran a contest for their reader to designed the bodywork for a Tony Foale designed motorcycle, the Quantum 2 (Q2). The winning bodywork design would be used for the bike. I think the style that won was fantastic. As you can see with Dans Q2 above, it looks just right. If you want more info go to the Tony Foale site, click on articles and you will find a fair bit of info on the Q2.
I am not sure how many were built or have survived and that's a question Dan is trying to find out, if you know of any leave a message on Dans site, click title to go to his blog.

I remember that bike from a magazine article. Certainly looks like something from "THX 1138". Also reminds me of a Craig Vetter project, "The Mystery Ship"...? Kawa based future bike looking thing. HL
ReplyDeleteYes the "Mystery Ship", think there were ten built of the Kawasaki Z1000 based bikes, might be a story of them coming to a blog near you.... sometime
