Vehicle: An Utopic Ducati

[Neo85]

eheh good work but it like a scooter...and the system of grip handles aren't good because i can't break when i try to accelerate or not?
eheh sorry for my bad english and expression ^^

Very nice model well done. That is one heck of a Fuel tank though it looks like a bit of an uncomfortable ride. I think a better enironment map would improved the image too, there are large areas of flat colour across the bike.

Very nice image.

Nice work, everything seems to be well balenced and stuff. I would make the nose a little longer though.

it looks great dude, may i sudgest you add a fender to the front wheel... it looks a tad bare without it.

also i agree with frank maybe shave that tank down a bit, perhaps you could contour it to accept the riders chin or helmet if they were sitting on the bike.

here's a crappy pic (sorry) of a bike that yamaha made a few years ago, it uses "hub center steering" like your bike, although i know nothing about how it works, i've seen a few bikes with this type of setup, and the front swingarm is usually a bit heavier duty and bigger to hold all the steering linkages and brake lines...just a thought.

the seat also seems a little too low to the ground for a sport bike, most sport bike seats sit pretty high up like the tail of an airplane

i hope this helps, i'd really like to see it when you finish it (as my 2nd passion next to computer animation is motorcycles)

cheers

Thanks ww! I knew i had seen the monofork system somewhere. Just couldn´t remember the make and model. I will definitely change the system more towards that yamaha´s approach..

Looking at the front fender of that Yamaha it also seems a good idea, hmmm, lets see..

What comes to the size of the fueltank, here´s an earlier test pic of a zygote on it. Maybe not comfortable but at least virtually drivable.. :rolleyes:

Thanks to all of you for very constructive crit!

Use a single side arm on the back wheel too!!! That's one of the coolest things about Ducati style!

I love looking at concepts, this one is very cool on that the bike rider would have to squeeze into that baby.

I like the paint material, very glossy lookin

Thanks, mates!

I will definitely do something with them forks, though not sure what yet.
