It's a rotary motorcycle and reincarnation of the first production wankel motorcycle the Hercules W-2000. For portfolio purposes though it will be called the Phantom R-300. On to the renderings and maybe later the physical model!
    Phantom R-300 tags instead of Hercules W-2000  Thanks for looking! |

interesting design & rendering but seriously, the black one is useless, its so dark we can't see anything.
By rotary motorcycle you mean there a Wankel engine? sweet. Just one small important detail, own do you steer the bike? Both wheel seem fixed. another thing. The way you design the seat/handle part make my brain go "argg" Maybe it me but if you go on a road that a bit bumpy the thing would react like a spring Funny ride indeed. -------------------- |

No steering bars
 Looks like the whole front light/handlebar section would fall off if I sat on it. Scary design but nice first render.

nice render but I'm left questioning the design somewhat. Its certaining eye catching and innovative but as mentioned above, it leaves you in the dark about how to actually use the thing! Does it steer? If so how? It gets rid of the easy-to-understand front forks without giving any visual indication of what has replaced them. I can see from your render how the cooling system works, the brakes work and where the engine is and where I sit, but without being sure it would turn when I told it to I'd never get on the thing!
Similarly you said one of the most interesting features of the bike is its rotary engine. Could that not be clearer? If i've bought this bike for its revolutionary engine I don't want to have to explain that to my mates. I want them to know the moment they look at it. That said, it is an inspired design nice one -------------------- Tassle (Adam GC)

The throw back take on the 70's Hercules wankle bike is certainly a cool one but, I would agree that psychologically its a little trippy. Tell me how to steer the thing and I'll take it for a spin.
