Further Development

Diagram showing how Rider and passenger would be seated on my concept bike,
Feel as though the front forks are a bit to upright: 18 degrees, will try pulling them back further and reassess the riding position.
The seat position is low enough to the ground that it will provide confidence for the user, being able to have both feet firmly planted if necessary, the back is large enough for a passenger to fit comfortably, yet still be stable and balanced.




Development of the front head of the bike, utilising symbolism and motifs of a hawk head
-Circle inside geometrical tapered shape 
Development of framework and body.
-Squeezing the front fuel cell, higher and skinner, to allow for the seat to drop a few more cm, almost being perpendicular with the top of the wheels.. is this to low? considering that the wheels will be larger in size.
-Red frame is my favourite thus far, combination of sweeping bottom curve and triangular cross frame is quite appealing, also the red colour adds to the effect of 'safety'. The motor pops out through one of the triangular frames.   
-Is it getting to aggressive in form? perhaps seeing this in 3D will help me better judge flaws of this concept.
-Further detail development sketches of footpegs, light, storage and dash to come..
