Futuristic Motorcycle – Motorcycle w/Airplane Engine

This is the TMC DUMONT, which is a concept art motorcycle, designed and built by Retired F1 driver and designer Tarso Marques. This ultra sleek, hubless wheel, motorcycle, is powered by an actual 300 hp, six-cylinder, Rolls-Royce Continental Aircraft Engine from 1960.

Futuristic Motorcycle

The TMC Dumont made its debut at the Daytona Bike Week in 2018, the most important customization event in the world, and won best in show out of 100 competing bikes. The bike may be impractical for everyday use, but if we only ever create things that are practical, what’s the point of having an imagination and following a dream.

Sure it’s not an everyday bike, it’s a rideable show bike that shows the imagination and creativity of the builder. It certainly looks awesome! The wheels look so crazy. The engine looks freaking sweet! A stunning work of rideable art and a very cool ride for sure!!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES ★★★

1) What is the point of building a bike like that, it’s a waste of time & money – He is a professional motorbike designer & builder, and this bike won Best of Show at the biggest motorbike event, so he will now get loads of free marketing of his bike (like this video) and heaps of new business, as many more people will know of him and what he can make. So even if he spent $100k on building that bike, he could make that back ten fold, through new business.

2) Does the bike have any kind of suspension or is it a hardtail – The bike does have suspension. Notice at 2:10 there are small air bags for the front and rear swing arms.

3) The bike cannot turn corners – Of course it can, he rides it to Bike Shows, he does not show it in the footage, but of course it can turn, the front wheel has 2 pivot points to turn the front wheel.
