Although existing only in concept form and with no formal ties to the German auto-maker, industrial designer Mehmet Doruk Erdem has penned what we think is one of the most striking land-speed-style motorcycle designs to appear in recent times. Named the 'Apollo Streamliner' and built for outright top speed, the machine’s fairing is highly reminiscent of vehicle bodywork produced during the Art Deco period, ensuring very low wind-resistance. Other classic and custom-inspired styling cues include the exposed engine, spoke wheels and purposeful brown leather saddle.
