The Awesome V-Rex Motorbike – Tron meets Terminator


Let’s be honest here, I am surprised that my keyboard is still functional as I have been drooling over these images for sometime and have come to the (not difficult) conclusion that this is the coolest motorbike I’ve ever seen. Period. And I’m overjoyed to report that, far from being a concept, it’s real – it exists. And this is cause for celebration.

The Dream Bike, or as it’s now known, the V-Rex, is the brainchild of Tim Cameron design, a chap whose website is crammed full of some of the most jaw dropping motorbike designs I’ve ever come across, and it’s set to make its first public debut as the up and coming Daytona Bike week this March. Unsurprisingly, the first five bikes to make it off the Travertson production live are already pre-sold.

Powered by a 1250cc liquid cooled engine delivering 120hp and 74.0ft.lbs at 7000rpm the Tron-likeV-Rex boasts a wheelbase of 79.2in/2010mm and a dry weight of 670lbs/304kg and has a listed price of $39,990.
You can keep up with the latest developments concerning the manufacturing of the V-rex via the Taverston website or you can hop over to the Tim Cameron Design site to look through his portfolio of designs (highly recommended – he’s a design genius).
