Fuel-Cell Honda Cub Concept

If you have ever seen movies like i-Robot or The Minority Report, you may think this futuristic two-wheeler is a fancy Hollywood prop for one of Spielberg's sci-fi blockbusters
Honda Cub Concept is a fuel cell motorcycle created for urban transport in a fashion that Russ Lovegrove would refer to as organic essentialism. That means no deficiencies, no excesses - just a functional vehicle that's easy on the eye and good for the planet.
As Treehugger points out, Honda Cub is still just a concept created by Sam Jilbert for his Transportation Design course at Northumbria University
"I've based this concept around the Honda Cub, which has been around for decades and is still very popular on the continent with locals and tourists alike" he said. "The Cub is very practical but this concept takes it to a new level, with a provocative image and being environmentally responsible, the new Cub should appeal to young city professionals and the young trendy market in general

The Captain America chopper is well-known for
its appearance in the film Easy Rider.

It's perhaps the best-known chopper in the world, and to many, the Captain America bike from the film Easy Rider defines the breed

The bike shown is not a replica; it is one of two identical choppers originally built by Cliff Vaughn for use in Easy Rider. This is the one that was wrecked at the end of the film. The other was reportedly stolen, likely sold for parts by a thief unaware of its significance.

After the filming, the wrecked bike was procured by actor Dan Haggerty, who began rebuilding it but never finished. It was then sold, the restoration being completed by Dave Ohrt. The owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, has graciously loaned it to the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa, where it is currently on display.

This example of the Captain America bike started life as a 1951 Harley- Davidson FL. The frame was chromed but is otherwise virtually stock. So is the engine. Added were extended forks, ape-hanger handlebars, upswept fishtail mufflers, "peanut" gas tank, and tall sissy bar, all of which grew to define an early chopper.
