A UK-based custom motorcycle builder who goes by the handle Ziggy Moto has designed this unusual one-off, which looks something like a Ducati that crashed through Raymond Loewy's studio and burst through the other side looking like this:
The concept was reportedly designed for, or perhaps in collaboration with, fellow bike designer/builder Anthony Partridge of "Goblin Works Garage," the Discovery TV show following a group of custom bike and car builders. British fabrication firm Olliminium is also reportedly involved, but at this point details are light.
I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

Ziggy Moto's Custom Motorcycle with a Streamline Moderne Front End
Speed humps.
It looks as though the clutch and brake lever would actually hit the fairing, let alone leave clearance for your fingers to operate them. I've seen plenty of dustbin fairing bikes out there, so the concept isn't new. Something looks off with this one though; agreed on both the high and low speed turning issues brought up.
How do you lean to turn without the body work rubbing the road?
