Bike news: SUZUKI UNVEILED a new zero-emission Burgman scooter at last week's Tokyo motorcycle show.
Together with UK-based company, Intelligent Energy, Suzuki developed this new eco-friendly scooter using the latest version of Intelligent Energy’s unique PEM clean fuel cell engine.
The Burgman is fitted with a 70MP hydrogen fuel tank for fast refuelling and good riding range.
According to chief executive of Intelligent Energy, Dr Henri Winand, these fuel cell scooters will be made widely available.
“Of course, these clean fuel cell engine powered motorcycles are not simply for motor shows, and can be widely available to everyone in the near future.
“As part of this process, Intelligent Energy and Suzuki will continue to work on clean fuel cell powered motorcycles and plan to hold demonstrations in the near future,” he added.
Four-wheeled 475kg motorbike
A MIGHTY four-wheeled monster called the Cosmos 4RWF is now available for the general public to purchase, if you can afford one.
Built by Brazilian Amadeu Ferreira, this bike is a V8 with 5,800cc and an astonishing 250bhp at 5,200rpm.
It’s 2.6 metres long, with chunky 17-inch wheels and weighs in at a hefty 475kg.
Each motorcycle will be built to suit the rider and will be individually numbered.
“I created the company to create spectacular motorcycles of great power for riders who appreciate the power and delivery of a V8 motor,” said Mr Ferreira.
