I kinda like the bulldog ngl

Loved the biplane and the falconrustyco, that style of bike looks awesome imo, very futuristic, dudes who hop on the highway in groups, highway racing, looks like something very fitting for that style of riding, long stable bikes but very powerful, would have to be light and handle decent though

I remember when the Falcorustyco came out - it was the most incredible thing you couldn't buy, a teenage boys dream bike!

I’d buy an Ugly Duck if it was available today. It’d be great for exploring tight trails in the woods!

I'd have to say that I would ride the 'Ugly duck". I used to ride motorcycles year round (NW Michigan). I used to wrap dog chains around my tires so I had a good bite while driving through snow and ice, so that 2 wheel drive with decent tires would have been incredibly nice.

I like the looks of Tesseract and Biplane, although probably wouldn't buy anything like that, so it seems their place in this list is deserved. Very interesting video, thank you.

That Bosscat 400 is crazy I can't stop looking at it. I'd never be able to justify spending money on one but if one fell into my lap I don't think I'd ever sell it

In regard to the "Ugly Duck" motorcycle, the creator of this bike was ultimately fired from his job. Suzuki fired him because he ended up being a real quack.

I like the headlight bracket/rack concept of the bulldog. I think it would have been even better with asymmetric headlight diameters.

Love the Honda Bosscat. I want one! The Tesseract no doubt died as, having 4 wheels, it would have been classed as a car in most jurisdictions with all the regulations on safety (seatbelts, crash tests), design, tax, license and insurance implications.

I'm kind of in love with the Ugly Duck. Maybe I'll get a Rokon one day and customize it to look like that just to spite some people.

10:34 - Cue the Banana Splits TV show music - la-lah-la, lah-lah-lahhhh 🎶🎶🎶

What are you smoking? The Bulldog is sick. I'd buy one tomorrow if they actually produced it.

Fantastically entertaining video! Well done - you keep coming up with great new themes for videos - loving it!

All that Honda Bulldog needed was some long travel suspension and a 21 & 18 inch wheel setup. The industry is crying out for a proper 500cc adventure bike.

If you've ever ridden a fat tire trail bike in the mud and rain, you'd know the Ugly Duck looks like loads of fun.

You have a STUPIDLY underrated channel bro. I don't even ride bikes and I watch your channel. For the love of God, keep it up

Quite enjoyable videos. Keep up the good work👏

The front brakes on that Biplane is an Eric Buell design from the XB line. Neat to see it on both sides of the front wheel.

I remember the Falco like it was yesterday! I had a magazine with it in it.Reading the specs,i was surprised to learn it had a hydraulic transmission much like a front end loader!!

Many Harley's are a bit random when you think about it. Those cruisers man! The storage.

I had never heard of the Honda Bulldog before now and kind of wish it had made it into production.

Love the biplane.

I would TOTALLY buy the Ugly Duck if I could! WOW, I've never seen it before

Hey great video love your work. Would also love to see the flip side of this video i.e. great concept motorcycles that sadly didn’t make it into production

I liked the Suzuki Biplane , but then again I ride a Suzuki . I have been riding from age 15 am 75 now started on Bridgestone bikes with the rotary transmission . My first ride was at 6 on a Harley tour glide .

Love the videos

By the way dude, rly nice channel. Subscribed 👍🏻

The Hayabusa was named after a Peregrine Falcon, which is known to prey upon the humble blackbird. The fastest motorcycle at the time was the Honda Blackbird...

Imagine the stopping power of the biplane. Same brake design as the buell, but this thing has 2 of em!!!

wish yamaha built that 4 wheeled masterpiece

Another awesome video! I kind of liked the Biplane!

In 1959 Santa brought me "Mister Machine". It was a wind-up toy robot that I could take apart and put back together. Mr Machine was fun, but I'd rather have had the Dokitto.

the FalconRustyCo looks aboslutely insane. it may be as crazy looking as it is unpleasant to ride, with those joysticks... but still, i'd have fun riding one. A super sci-fi/wierd flashy 80' outfit is mandatory.

I personally like motorcycles that are designed to be novel and different. I own a Honda Navi and there is nothing else like it on the road.

If the bulldog was smaller, and available in this frozen sharthole of a city, I would start motorbiking.

I think I’ll be having nightmares tonight.

I actually love almost all of these

The Dodge Tomahawk didn't make the list? 😲

Man, I’m not really even that interested in motorcycles but I dig the hell out of your videos!

That Suzuki Biplane is stunning to me. I'd maybe want it less "bling" to really capture the Dieselpunk look but otherwise I'd have it in a heartbeat.

Great vid. I think the bulldog looks awesome! Would own one of they released one

The green Ugly Duckling looks like a literal duck! Love it!

Hate to admit it but the BMW Futuro is right up my alley.

The Yamaha 4-wheeled scooter kinda did make it into production, look up a scooter named "Qooder".

I like some of those three wheel tilting scorpions. And have you seen those extreme long wheelbase almost vertical hill climbers? God!

That ugly duck would be an awesome cult-classic by now… And that J concept seems real innovative!

I started riding in 1977. My formative years were spent during the era of many of these bike's evolution. And...quite honestly, I can relate and appreciate nearly all of them. Put some "adventure bags" and some cheap graphics on the Bulldog and you've got a winner If the Biplane had been produced by a custom fab shop it would be draped in accolades. The 1980 Futuro is ugly by todays standards but fit the era...nothing wrong with it a few graphics wouldn't fix. OK...no hope for the Bosscut. It looks like a tree fell across a real bike. And no hope for the Rusty Falcon video game bike. The Kawi J-bike. Not enough information or images. "...debuted all the way back in 2013..." All the way back!!! Buddy, I got left overs in the back of the fridge older than that. Yami Tesseract...I'm looking at a hip replacement in the next 10 years. It looks pretty good to me. Tri(more)umf TS8-1: it didn't make it cuz it was a Triumph when no one was buying Triumphs. The 2 wheel drive Ugly Duck wrapped in camo would have been a hit and would be today. The Kiddie bike is just plain creepy.

The Biplane really put a smile on my face.

why thankfully? i would enjoy some of these... and its great for data collection in real world testing

Very cool video! I only knew of three of these(I’m 60yo and have a few Harleys, so kinda out of the metric bike world) and I liked the monologue you added too🍺👍🇺🇸

Hi Bart... The Suzuki "UglyDuck" must be the descendant of the Suzuki rv90 (1970-75) which was by the way a very good machine

Thanks Bart great vid, I have to admit I liked the Biplane, I would not buy one or ride one but I thought it loooked pretty cool.

Heya @bart - loving your channel and vids. I personally own a 2021 Zero SR/S Premium and as a Zero owner and fan I can't help but wonder why your various list videos etc, never mention Zero as an OEM? Afterall they're still in production and releasing new models (the DSR/X just came out for year 2023), they're one of the few true USA made brands left, they've been making bikes for over a decade, have many models spanning 3 very different generation of bike now too. You often reference electric motorcycles in your vids, you seem to perhaps even like them, or at least can appreciate their place in the marketplace and in the future of our hobby/sport. So just curious if you ever plan to make any videos about Zeros or include them in your "roundup / list" videos?

You should do an episode on the Dodge Tomahawk. I remember seeing it at the 2003 motorcycle show in Chicago (display, not operating). It claimed 300+mph possibility, but nobody that could hold on going that fast, supposedly.

Many of these are worthy concepts, possible developmental directions, excercises in design or test marketings! "Everyone said no one would buy it"... Every bike you've ever rode was a compromise.

The Kawasaki J concept was so cool. It would be pricy as fuck but probably the last bike you’d ever own.

I was actually hoping to buy the Bulldog as and when Honda produced it. It has storage in the tank area like the NC750X (which I have) but it's also rugged enough to cope with spills etc. I hate plastic bikes that cost a fortune to repair when they just fall off the centre stand. I also liked the mad max look but I did worry that the bike was going to be too small for me (6' 2"). I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The Bates Clipper fairing ... pleeeeeease do a story on that. I can't believe anyone thought that was good looking. Also wonder if it would disturb handling if you ever actually put any substantial amount of weight in the front trunk.

I want an ugly duck

Number 1 - Suzuki Tonkatoy!

That suzuki biplane and FalkoRustyco look super cool. The kawasaki changing concept of kind of cool but would need lots of intuitive engineering. The Yamaha 4 wheeled bike, would be cool to ride too. If like to know how that feels to corner.

The bi plane and futuro look like motorcycles from batman the animated series.

Love the Tron Biplane and the Tesseracht

All of these bikes need to be made

Literally ALL of those would make me want a bike.

I'm surprised you didn't have the Suzuki nuda on here. I thought it was a pretty awesome looking motorcycle

Slap a BMW badge on the Honda Bulldog, the 'Starbucks Crew' would be queuing up for it! ;)

The Kawa J Concept is pretty cool IMO

That biplane look nice. Except the front headlights

Number one looks like something from the movie cars.

Dude, except for the quad these are all amazing!

5:01 lmao it looks like if a motorcycle got wacked by a tree and bent in half.

Would definetly go for the ugly duck!! Looks like fun 😁

I like the Biplane. Not to be the staple of mitorcycle design (that would be terrible), but as a very limited run, it looks nice.

The ugly duck looks like an automatic 2 wheeled dune buggy. I could see every family with money having at least 1 of those, and their teenage son painting it matte black with a couple spray cans behind their back so he looks "cooler" down at the beach.

oh wow you should do one on those banned 3 wheelers

Minute 9:51 that has to be the sickest looking motorcycle I've ever seen. I want it

I'm surprised that you didn't talk about the Dodge Tomahawk concept bike in this

the ugly duck is so 90s that i love it. I want one.

What was the big yellow 2 stroke enduro in that picture with the ugly duck it looked cool

i was always fond of that rotary concept, so i dunno pick something like Norton F1 or IZH super rotor?

Some design elements did eventually become actual products like Rebel and Niken

3 wheelers and 4 wheelers really aren't a bad idea. The problem is the market for it is too small. It's great if you have an injury or something that makes it hard to hold a bike up, but there isn't that many who are in that position and still want to ride that bad.

Funny how the Buldog is actually something you see from custom shops ..

I would buy the Kawasaki J Concept immediately. Also the Suzuki Biplane. ..and I'm still waiting for someone to build the bikes featured on the 12" cover of Koto's "Dragons Legend".

Yeah, that Bulldog is cool!

I'd ride anything on this list with a smile. The ugly duck especially.

Hmmmm.... Adaptive suspension. Ape hangers for the city and clip-ons for the twisties.

I am attracted to the Bulldog and the Ugly Duck. But the Dokitto goes right in, i would buy it right away. The Bulldog would have an rather fine and solid power plant, I've seen this idea before with the fenders on an Yamaha scooter i believe, The whole idea is to use it kind alike a scateboard. The scratches on the fenders would just make it look better. The BMW looks like all BMW, kind of bland and uninspiring, It looks like most white BMW models, like an vanila ice cream on two wheels.

Falcorustyco Is Italian (Japanese love Italian name) . in Italian it is "falco rustico" means rustic hawk or rustic falcon. I think we used the wrong word, rustic in Italian refers to a house and rarely to animals or people and it means rural, simple, raw or referred to food. perhaps the word they were looking for was "Selvaggio" = wild,

5:57 Let me understand, for Suzuki name a bike RusticHawk (Falco Rustico are the Italian worlds for "rustic hawk") wasn't enough, so did they decided to turn rustico in rustyco, like rusty?

I actually think the Bosscat and Ugly Duck are OK! About 90% there, a few tweaks and the basic concepts work. I remember seeing a custom Yamaha scooter that one of the big US custom guys (can't remember his name rn!) that didn't look a million miles away from that.

4:21 TIL "horribly good" was a thing people say

I've seen that first honda in the wild 🤔 I thought it was a ruckus but it clearly wasn't because it was quite large

Dokitto is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

The ugly duck 🦆 looked nice ☺️ i love it

The bosscat 400 reminds me of a gurney alligator.

Honda bulldog looks absolutly dream

The biplane looks awesome..?!..! Should have come out.
