ProjectVF: The Recumbent
Motorcycle Gallery
The recumbents below were some of
the inspirations for building my own. Beneath that are various recumbents
I've found over the years. Each is unique in it's own way. For links to a
variety of recumbent and motorcycle pages, click

This recumbent grabbed my
attention more than any other. It's an absolutely wild concept from the
design studio of noted vehicle visionary Sbarro. It appears more like a
spaceship than a motorcycle. However, a closer look reveals just how
impractical it would be in the real world: virtually no ground
clearance, no room for a suspension, no side protection from elements or
road debris, so low it would be invisible to other drivers and no room for
a conventional engine or an electric motor and batteries. Despite all that,
it looks hot. I think it would look great parked in a corner of my living
room. Talk about a conversation starter!
I first saw Roadog when I was a
kid. I didn't know anything about it, but thought it was pretty cool.
