It’s hard to reinvent something as rooted into pop culture as Harley Davidson, but this independent vision of the future gives it a shot anyway.
Jever is known for organizing and sponsoring various Harley Davidson-themed events and this mix between a customized chopper and a futuristic bobber took second place in the German beer brand’s customizing contest in 2013 that challenged talented designers to create their own Harleys.
The brainchild of designer Ion Turcan, it is based on a 2012 Softail and is powered by Harley’s twin-cam 103 cu (1,690 cc) engine. Its streamlined body is composed of two main elements that perfectly integrate each major component, from the double exhausts to the slim fuel tank. The raked and low fork may look uncomfortable at first, but it’s beautifully masked by the overall form, almost embedding the handle-bars into the body.
If you’re wondering how the twin-cylinder is getting the much-needed air in order to breathe, the designer has added air vents for cooling under the headlight. The bike also has a “surface-integrated” digital gauge that displays the speedometer, tachometer, odometer and other useful information. It also doubles as a fuel gauge, GPS, and navigation system.
