The quickest way through the traffic is on a motorcycle.But while
cars have been getting safer and more economical, motorcycles have gone
the other way.Better and may be exciting but fuel economy has suffered.
A typical modern super-bike has an engine as powerful as most cars, and get no more than 14km per liter.
Meanwhile little progress has been made towards creating a safer bike or one that protects the rider from the cold and wet. A rider simply gets colder and wetter and uses more fuel on bike than in car, says British motorcyclist enthusiast Royce Creasey, who designed his own improved machine the voyager.
now the big manufacturers are beginning to take the hint, with a new generation of machines that provide protection, greater safety and fresh thinking about steering and body work.Steering is the key to improving a motorcycle handling.Traditional front forks are designed to absorb bumps and to steer. Separating suspension from steering could be answer many engineers believe.
The safety of C1 Is provided by a strong aluminum space frame, made of tubes welded together in a crash , this would distort in a controlled.

The BMW C1
a prototype machine protects the rider from the weather with a full roof and the option of fitting side panels for long journeys, anti lock brakes and an air bag can be fitted and there is space for luggage.Most car journeys are short and average of just 6 km and are made alone perfect for a motorcycle.The safety of C1 Is provided by a strong aluminum space frame, made of tubes welded together in a crash , this would distort in a controlled.

The Wankel Engine,How rotary Engine works
The ultimate engine for a motorcycle is one that does not vibrate as pistons and connecting rods hurl themselves to and fro thousands of time in a minute such an engine was designed in 1956 by German Engineer Felic Wankel and fitted in the Late 1980 to the Norton Commander claimed to be the Smoothest motorcycle in the World.- Wankel Engine
