Designer Oberdan Bezzi has decided to create an even more agressive Triumph Thunderbird 1600, which has only just entered the market. Described as a “traffic light burner”, here’s a look at a different Thunderbird rendering.

It has 1700cc, squared exhaust, sports wheels and superbike suspension, and has been renamed “Hurricat”. Here the crowning rule is “big is beautiful”. Your thoughts?

Another creation by Oberdan Bezzi, this one is the Moto Guzzi Drago 1200 (Drago in Italian means dragon). The style is aggressive, streamlined and radical and it’s his idea of a motorcycle that could seriously take on the new Ducati Streetfighter.

The great Oberdan Bezzi aka known as Obiboi, has come up with another interesting concept that as he writes in his website is a tribute to the legendary Jarno Saarinen that in 1972 raced with the Benelli 350 and 500 from grand prix’s to the road race in the city circuit of Pesaro Villa Fastiggi and won in both categories, besides winning with a Yamaha 250 against other legendary rider Giacomo Agostini.

Here’s another piece from Oberdan Bezzi, with this design rendering of a new Yamaha supermotard, called the MT-OX 660. We can only imagine that fans will soon be writing to Yamaha to request a production model.

The engine to be used would be the single cylinder 660 cc at 48 hp, currently equipping the Yamaha XT660 motard, Ténéré and enduro, and the MT-03. The chassis and suspension would be similar to those of the XT660X, but the new tank and tail would make the difference, coloured in early 80’s style. The challenge to “Global-Fun” motorcycles has been launched.

After yesterday’s news on the return of Aspes to the market, we take another look at an Oberdan Bezzi creation, this time of the classic Hopi 125.

There’s a vintage-technology mix here with shiny tank and metal mudguard, and the 125cc modern engine combines perfectly with the retro look. It’s still too early to say whether this will appear in dealerships but Aspes plans are underway.

From Oberdan Bezzi’s extensive bag of tricks, comes this Desmoscrambler 696. After the Ducati Pantah 696, this is a Scrambler version of the twin cylinder Ducati that will get fans even more excited.

The idea is to base this model on an all-purpose version with current technologies and historic style. The colour and look is from the legendary 1960’s, with a modern riding style. While many Ducati fans will have a heart flip over this Desmoscrambler, between a design and an actual model, there’s a long road and a lot of money.

This new vintage provovation comes from Oberdan Bezzi and is a rendering of the Ducati Pantah: the unforgettable twin cylinder sports bike from the 1970’s.

This design borrows the 696 engine from the Monster, and has been created to meet the needs of Italian sports style at a lower cost. It’s agile and light, with performance accessible by all, and a price for every pocket. Could we be seeing the Ducati Pantah again sometime?

We’ve already seen the nostalgic project of the Ducati Super Sport by Oberdan Bezzi, and his SS1000 Rossa.

Today we take a look at the twin cylinder from Bologna, looking pretty in yellow. This is the TT 1000 version and we can feel the motor just looking at the design.

The reborn Cagiva brand looks like it will update its range with the “Schiranna”: the possible future name of the 1125 V2 superbike (the name comes from the town in which Claudio Castiglioni’s company was first founded).

Thanks to Harley Davidson ownership, Cagiva looks set to make a promising comeback in the motorcycle market, with MV-Agusta placed to be the more upmarket offering, and the “elefantino” or “little elefant” aimed at a more general clientele.

Future Cagivas shouldn’t feature more than two cylinder engines, although this doesn’t mean we’ll be seeing less power. The most eclectic motor is the V2 BRP-Rotax, on the Buell 1125, accredited with some super power at 140hp.

This is Oberdan Bezzi’s vision of the new BMW maxi-scooter, the SCT 800 Superscooter. The sccoter has a twin cylinder, four valve engine of about 800cc, with power at nearly 70hp.

The scooter shows the tipical BMW attention to detail in the suspension with a front Telelever and rear shcok absorber placed under the engine at the back. The wheels measure 16 inches, the brakes are double disc at the front and single disc at the rear, both with ABS and a semi-automatic transmission.

The BMW scooter includes a GPS unit, showing that the company is serious about producing the most sophisticated scooters at the top end of the market, but with a sporty style.

Obiboi (Oberdan Bezzi) has surprised us again with preview design renderings of the new Cagiva Elefant 1125.

With all probability this will be the model for the relaunch of the Cagiva brand and its twin cylinder, Buell BRP-Rotax engine. The aim is to provide some contrast and competition to the BMW R 1200 GS, queen of two wheel SUVs.

The colour is set to be a homage to the historic livery of the Cagiva Elefants of the old days; will we see a “Lucky Stripe” from Varese amongst the dunes at Tènèrè or around the Egyptian pyramids.
