steampunkchopper

This is something I can look at all day. Designed by Russian graphic designer, Mikhail Smolyanov of Solifague Design, this steampunk style chopper named “The Black Widow” will most likely not see the streets anytime soon, but Mikhail’s design is so amazing and realistic that many custom motorcycle sites has featured this chopper thinking it was real.  This beautifully designed low-riding chopper has all the bells and whistles that scream steampunk. What I really love is the bent back forks leading back to the handles and the single swing arm in the back. Considering that “steampunk” has become very popular in the world of illustration and cosplay, it is pretty awesome to see someone take that concept and run (or ride) with it. This stretched out chopper would look mean if you say it roaring down the street. Too bad its only a concept and will (most likely) be never made.
