This Montblanc-inspired motorcycle is the most luxurious crossover ever! - Yanko Design

Hither'southward what I absolutely love about the design profession. The Montblanc Motorcycle is clearly a concept. I imagine the luxury stationery and timepiece company isn't fifty-fifty interested in entering the automotive industry… but there's always the potential for a crossover, and there's always an indie designer who'south ready to realize that potential. Meet the Montblanc Motorbike, a fan-made conceptual 2-wheeler created by Huigyu Kim who felt that the pen and watch manufacturer'due south pattern DNA definitely had a quality that could be hands carried into bike-design.

The Montblanc Motorcycle comes with the aforementioned, uber-luxurious design language seen in the company'south pens. I'm talking clean surfaces, gloss black paint-task with the judicious employ of metallic accents. My favorite detail, however, has to exist the bike'due south headlamp, which directly borrows its design from Montblanc's pen-caps and watch crowns. The lamp comes with a rounded conical glass cover nether which sits Montblanc's famous star-shaped logo. The border of the headlamp sports a metallic rim too, with protrusions on the side that make way for the bike's indicators… features that straight resemble the crown seen on Montblanc's watches.

The bike comes in all black, with a relatively modern appeal. Chrome accents in but the right places brand the bike stand up out, while the black-on-blackness satin text on the bicycle's fork-guards helps highlight the company's branding without being too direct or obvious. The bike's handlebars and dashboard possess the ability to rise upward when the bike's powered on, allowing you to easily steer… and they lower back into the wheel's body when it'due south locked as well, adding a 2nd layer of security by preventing the handlebars from turning freely. Even the leg-rests autonomously fold inwards when non in use, and can fold out and slide forward or back based where you desire them. Overall, credit where it's due, the Montblanc Bike is an absolute masterpiece, looking just equally slick and loftier-end as the balance of Montblanc'south products. The use of black and chrome, and the clever reinterpretation of the Montblanc insignia as a headlight feels incredibly clever, and if the company were to always foray into transportation blueprint, I suggest they should definitely employ this fan-made concept equally their template!
