Akrapovic Showcases Futuristic Full Moon Concept Motorcycle

One of the most outrageous motorcycles
designs ever seen, which is called the Full Moon, was recently
announced by AkrapoviÄ. The extremely
futuristic motorcycle design by the Slovenian manufacturer is like
nothing ever seen before. According to Auto Blog, the motorcycle
manufacturer is known for making motorcycle
exhaust systems, as well as exhaust systems for the Volkswagen
Gulf and the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro racer, but the company
recently got involved with custom motorcycles.
Three years ago, AkrapoviÄ released the Morsus motorcycle, which is
a very fluidly crafted carbon fiber and steel bike with two
excessively large wheels at both ends. The new Full Moon keeps
AkrapoviÄ's original concept alive, with a massive front wheel on
the motorcycle.
Full Moon Custom Design

The motorcycle's front wheel measures
out to 30 inches in diameter, which is 13 inches larger than the
Ducati 1299 Panigale's front wheel. Even the Harley-Davidson Road
Glide, known for its large diameter front wheel, is dwarfed in
comparison, by a full 11 inches. With such a large wheel on the
front, it is easy to see how the Full Moon got its name.
The proportions may not be easy to grasp through the limited
pictures released by the company, but it is clear that you couldn't
ride it like a regular motorcycle, as the two gargantuan foot rests
and the back exhaust system sit just inches from the ground.
Without the ability to lean into corners you would be required to
turn solely using the steering, much like a car. With that in mind,
the Full Moon was built with fully automated steering that allows a
minimalist steering rod and removes any visible cables on the bike,
Design Boom reported.
Also, the Full Moon has a hydraulic suspension that allows the
motorcycle to sit upright when it's parked.
Custom Rear-End Exhaust System

What stands out most on the new
motorcycle is the rear exhaust system that looks much like a
vehicle used in the
movie Tron. The motorcycle has two small sets of runway strip
LED lights for its brake lights and headlights, and a custom dual
exhaust system, which is all built into one. The frame and bodywork
are made of aluminum and carbon, and function as part of the
exhaust.
The engine is located in the frame's bodywork, and AkrapoviÄ said
the engine used for the Full Moon is a 1,524-cc S&S
Knucklehead.
"This is an extremely technically advanced motorcycle, full of
unique elements that were carefully chosen to make the bike totally
exclusive, and the shape hides completely new solutions used on a
custom bike for the first time," AkrapoviÄ said in an official
statement. "The Full Moon is like no other bike out there now, and
AkrapoviÄ is very proud of it."
