This remarkable motorbike looks like it's straight out of a film set - but remarkably an artist has made it out of spare parts.

The Bangkok worker used recycled materials from old cars and bicycles to create a monster machine which is sculpted to look like a beast.

Despite being cobbled together from scrap parts, the spectacular motorcycle works - unlike many sci-fi film props. Artist Roongrojna Sangwongprisarn, 54, created the machine out of spare parts in his workshop in Thailand.

He has four shops across the country - named the Ko Art Shop - and exports his creations to clients all over the world.

Production of Suzuki Motor Half Lives

The fate of the Suzuki motorcycle manufacturers in Indonesia differ with Honda and Yamaha. During November 2011, Suzuki had to swallow the bitter pill because of its production going to cut half of normal.

Paul Sugih Firmanto, Sales and Marketing Director of PT Indomobil Suzuki Sales (SIS), said, due to flood Thailand, some parts suppliers Suzuki impaired. If the previous production motorcycle PT Indomobil Suzuki Motor (SIM) 40000-50000 units per month, now living 20000-25000's units.

"There is a possibility of production fell to 50 percent. Almost all the models, the supply of components is compromised," Paul beber to Kompas.com, Monday (31/10/2011) night.

Current level of local content in the category Suzuki motorcycle was, only 60 percent. Meanwhile, Honda and Yamaha duo was to localize its products to 80 percent, even 90 percent. As a result, Suzuki had a fairly severe production disruption due to flooding Thailand.

However, Paul believes, sales could still be maintained because they still have enough stock units. The numbers, Paul admits that they do with the consolidation of suppliers.

With the above conditions, the plan Suzuki launches new scooter, Nex, next month, is subjected to a retreat. Because, if enforced, then the distribution unit to the dealer is uneven. As a result, some consumers who are interested of course will not get the unit in no time!

Yamaha factory in Bang Na-Trat, 21 kilometers east of Bangkok, has stopped production for 10 days. Employees remain on alert and deployed to build dikes to prevent flooding into the area of production. "We hope that this November the condition improves. We also expect suppliers to have recovered and can resume work again," said Yamaha spokesman who refused to be named, told the Bangkok Post today (2 / 11).

Suzuki Motor also stop production with the same reason, although there is no component of the condition of machinery and plant equipment in Thanyaburi, Pathum Thani, is safe.

Cool! Air-powered Motorcycle

There is a new breakthrough of Australia's Dean Benstead, a student from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) majoring in industrial design. He managed to create a moving motorcycle using high pressure air force (compressed air) that dinami "02 Pursuit". In addition to environmentally friendly, this bike offers an alternative fuel instead of gasoline.

From the display, this bike looks sleek without machine ear of the usual "perched" on the bottom of the chassis. The design is stylish SuperMoto but simpler with a single-seat and rear suspension. Use of wheel radius and tire tread width makes it looks more gahar.

Benstead ideals of making "02 Pursuit" encouraged the fond childhood experience riding mountain bikes. "The bike was created from scratch concept sketches to computer graphics. Only later formed the chassis and body, produced with the help of a local factory Rinlatech Engineering," said Benstead.

Pursuit basic ingredients taken from the 250 cc motorcycle. Gear drive picked from Yamaha WR240F engine integrated on the air (Engineair) DiPietro as a cardiac pacemaker. With this unique machine, a motorcycle can be accelerated up to 100 kph and the ability, says Benstead still be improved again as the finalization of the research that is still being worked out.

"The next prototype will completely change his style, using different materials, one of which replace the chassis of steel tubing that is used today. Maybe disposable aluminum or even titanium to make it lighter," said Benstead.

Unfortunately Benstead did not inform other records such as power, torque and air consumption per kilometer. Perhaps this information could be obtained when "02 Persuit" mejeng premiere at the Sydney Motorcycle & Scooter Show, 25 November 2011.
