And throw in an Icare as well. When I become a billionaire, Mr Worf, I'll be

 We love to show you the latest cool 
 rideshttp://coolmaterial.com/cool/rides/ available,
 but if you’ve been wondering what kind of awesome motorcycles may be on the
 horizon then check out these cool concept bikes. Some are functional, but
 not practical yet for mass production, while others really push the envelope
 in terms of creative design.

 Mach Ness

 Motorcycle manufacturer Arlen Ness crafted this metal monster powered by a
 gas-turbine helicopter engine. The aluminum outer shell with noticeably
 large rivets gives it a sort of steam punk edge that you just won’t get from
 carbon fiber and plastic. The body has been shaped entirely by hand, which
 lends to why it’s not being mass produced.

 Icare Bike Concept

 If we had access to all the possible concept designs for Batman’s
 motorcycle the Icare Bike Concept would certainly be on the list. We could
 just imagine the Dark Knight leaning into a tight turn on this sleek black
 bike. Icare isn’t just a cool concept, but a real working design. It’s
 powered by a six-cylinder 1.8 liter Honda engine with dual exhaust. Right
 now it’s still up in the air whether or not it will go into production, but
 keep you fingers crossed.

 Swordfish Motorcycle Concept

 Any concept bike you’ve ever thought of as sleek has nothing on the
 Swordfish. The Swordfish Motorcycle concept by Alexander Kotlyarevsky sports
 an aggressive futuristic design and hubless wheels. The overall look has
 interesting mix between curves and sharp angles that earn this bike its
 name.Sourcehttp://gizmodo.com/5155563/swordfish-motorcycle-concept-imagines-our-hubless-wheeled-future

 Halbo Future Duo-Wheel BMW

 If you’re looking for an incredibly small and fast motorcycle and could
 care less about your personal safety then we’ve got a bike for you. Designer
 Pierre Yohanes designed the Halbo for eco-minded people who want something
 compact and electric powered. The front wheel is stationary and the back
 tail turns, so it’s kind of like riding a motorboat.

 Jaguar M-Cycle

 This isn’t one of those concept bikes with a name like Jaguar that’s meant
 to represent it’s speed. Its name is pretty literal in this case. The Jaguar
 concept by M-Cycles draws inspiration from the Jaguar car manufacturer logo.
 The bike measures 8 feet in length and features ebony lacquered fiberglass
 over stainless steel. Source http://m-cycles.com/

 Scarab Motorcycle

 While the Scarab sounds like a bike you’d likely drive around in the desert
 it’s actually designed with urban situations in mind. The bike can adapt to
 sit completely upright while parked so it takes up as little space as
 possible in a crowded city parking lot. In fact you and 3 of your friends
 using scarabs can fit your motorcycles in a standard sized space for a car.
 Designer David Miguel Moreira Gonçalves envisions the Scarab to be used as a
 rental vehicle as a convenient and eco-friendly transpiration solution.

 Dodge Tomahawk Motorcycle

 The Dodge Tomahawk Motorcycle may be the only motorcycle listed here that
 technically isn’t actually a motorcycle. Based on a Viper V-10 bike, it’s
 got a beefy 500 horsepower engine and 4 wheels. According to the National
 Highway Traffic and Safety Administration anything with more than 3 wheels
 on the ground doesn’t qualify as a motorcycle. That probably has something
 to do with why this beast of a bike never made it into mass production.
 Shame because this awesome machine is basically just an engine and some
 wheels that provide raw speed and power between your 
 legs.Sourcehttp://www.allpar.com/cars/concepts/tomahawk.html

 Since we discovered that technically anything with 3 wheels or less
 qualifies as a motorcycle then technically the ENERGYA Motorcycle fits the
 bill. With two wheels in the front and two full seats it almost looks like a
 racecar, but it only has one rear wheel. The designer Higgins-Aubé
