I feel those changes will make the bike look like the monster which would have been a killer but sadly its more unconventional than the monstertour-master on exile -

Well not entirely. It would make it look like the old KTM Duke 2 .Originally posted by satyenpoojary View PostDoing those changes would make it look like this!

the old dukes look awkward even the SMT for that matter... but what the heck.. they are purpose built.
Any more suggestions?
How about a cafe racer look with the appropriate tank and headlamp?Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

I have feeling that if the front shocks are smaller , the mojo 300 will look much better!
Even compared to Malaguti MR250 from which it is based , this thing has a longer front shock.( similar to those american choppers!)
The long shocks tend to give the impression that the visual center of attraction is towards rear and the mass is situated at the rear like a cruiser whereas in the Malaguti MR250 visual center of attraction is towards center and the mass is situated at the center thus giving the impression of a naked street bike .Right now it seems confused between a cruiser and naked bike with those long shocks!Last edited by amulu10; 10-01-2010, 03:00 AM.Comment

Hi guys,
This is really nice thread. Well, I'm also a motorcycle design enthusiast and keep sketching all the time.... (even while I'm in meeting at office )
Will upload the sketches very soon...but for now, one of my creations:

Your comments welcome

@Smashing - My 2 cents of observation, could be wrong though...
I feel the rider's seating position & footrest are not comfortable. Reason being that, the design looks almost like Ducati SF; but if you look at it, the footrest seems to be forward control position, while the handle bars are lying low, so as the rider could lean. Unless the footrest is in the back of seating position, the rider cannot lean which means, the seating position is little awkward.

@aargee: completely agree while working on that, I didn't consider ergonomics at all... But yes, the handlebar should have more height.

Well, if you would only consider my tone a little positive, try changing the design completely, it should be something new; but not like MojoOriginally posted by smashing View Post@aargee: completely agree while working on that, I didn't consider ergonomics at all...

(its still good though). This also helps improve your creativity. I'm no expert here, but still, would like to see some new design rather than most people copying Duc's. Just a little thought though.

@aargee: I welcome and appreciate your comments. But I've designed this bike almost one and half years ago and without referring to any model
I've some new concepts as well, will upload it very soon. I've just finished couple of designs last weekend, so will upload those.Comment

Ok, no issues, I'll keep waiting to see your post on this. I'm glad you took it positively.
Here're some more points on the previous post, may be you want to keep them when you design the next ones
1. The gas tank occupies more than half of the motorcycle & the rider has to sit almost after 60% behind the front. Ideally in a motorcycle, the rider sits in the middle between both the wheels.
2. There's a large gap between the V-Twins which shows its a air cooled engines. However there's a large fairing in the front that seems to be like a radiator for liquid cooling. But in a liquid cooled engine, the cylinders or the engine is quite tightly packed.
3. Missing RVM's

@aargee: those are very very valid points, I must say. Thanks a bunch, I'll consider these for my next design.
BTW, here is one more that I've designed last year, it still needs lot of improvements (its kind of work in progress, but see the style)
I've kept 180cc segment in mind and wanted to design something like old CBZ/Hunk i.e. a sports commuter you can say.
So here is the sketch:

Note: Engine and rear shock is not designed by me, its taken from some other bike(s).

Thanks for the consideration
But don't get disappointed my friend, this design is another typical look. Apart from it, the ride look very tall, is it an intentional one?
See there're large gaps between the engine area, you may want to do some creativity here that is also technical.
The alloys looks puny
Overall, I feel I've seen this type of motorcycle on the road. This isn't a fresh design to me. One good thing that I liked is the design of the rear seat especially for the pillion, appears flat so that they don't need to lean on the rider; may be some youth don't prefer this
However I appreciate your effort.
How about trying something between the cross over of a retro & fairing? Sounds weird, but give a try & we can take it up from there. To give you an example of retro, Ducati GT1000, Triumph Bonneville, RE; fairings would be Kwacker 250, 650, R1, Monster & so on.

sure, lets do that.... I'll start it today only...
regarding this, I already mentioned it was like 150-180cc bike for India, of course nothing like out-of-the-box design. But yes, I agree that I haven't considered any technical thing.
