France-based Enzyme Design has released mock-up images of its new I.Care concept bike, which is beyond a doubt the most futuristic motorcycle design we’ve seen. According to the company, a six-cylinder Honda engine would power the two-wheeled sculptural machine, which looks purpose-built for a sci-fi flick. Keep your fingers crossed that the I.Care will make it into production. Enzyme Design’s last concept motorcycle, the Atomo V1000 actually made it to the streets. Although, the Atomo’s design is far less ambitious. Estimated pricing on the I.Care hasn’t surfaced, but the company boasts that the bike will be “up market.” Follow the jump for two more images.

Looking for a more economical way to get around town? Forget public transportation and get a Derringer Cycle instead. The stylish neo-classical interpretation of a 1920’s era board track racing motorcycle features a hybrid engine that achieves over 150 mpg. Famed industrial designer Adrian Van Anz created the moto-hybrid to fill the design gap between his Ducati and a Schwinn. And the result is a work of art distinguished by its handmade leather saddle seats with copper rivets, white tires, and gold or silver leaf Derringer logo.

Depending on your state’s regulations, Derringer will configure your bike to top out somewhere between 20-40 mph. So you’ll want to avoid the freeway, but at least you won’t need a motorcycle license to operate your Derringer Cycle. And despite the Derringer’s good looks, Van Anz designed the bike to take a beating on rough streets as well as function off road.

Derringer Cycles are available in a wide variety of custom options and cost about $3,500.

France-based Trikes Grande Vitesse (TGV) has announced that it will begin manufacturing two wild touring bikes at its facility in Woodstock, New York. The first of the bikes is the Zeus pictured above, in which the engine is surprisingly housed in the sidecar, where there’s also room for two passengers. On the bike itself, there’s room for an extra passenger behind the driver. The second bike is the Celtik, a more traditional three-person trike with a trunk larger than those on most cars. TGV plans to equip both bikes with 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines. The company had originally intended to import the bikes from France but changed its plans due to differences in environmental regulations. We can’t wait until they hit the streets, and we’ll keep you updated with pricing information as it becomes available. Follow the jump for another image.

If you want to add a unique bike to your garage, luxury motorcycle builder American Moto Works has teamed up with exclusive online retailer 20ltd to create the Iconoclast, a mean looking performance bike that will be limited to only 11 editions.

The Ecosse Iconoclast rocks a 2-liter engine that throws off 135 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque, allowing the bike to rocket from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and run the quarter mile in the low 10’s. A digital speedometer and programmable tachometer allow rides to measure 0-60, 0-100, quarter-mile passes, and provide many other options.

A number of custom touches on the Iconoclast distinguish the bike, including its carbon fiber bodywork, matte black finish, silver hand-painted pin stripe outline on the fuel tank, charcoal grey powder-coated chassis, and black forged aluminum 17’ wheels. For rider comfort, the Iconoclast has also been fitted with gel-padded seats. To reinforce the limited edition nature of each bike, Ecosse has engraved the handlebar on each Iconoclast with the “Iconoclast Series” title, as well as the bike’s individual serial number.

All this custom work comes at a price: £44,000 ($86,680).

Custom motorcycle manufacturer Roland Sands and LA tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon have released a series of images on a collaboration bike they put together. Roland Sands built the bike, Cartoon airbrushed the murals, and DeAlbas layed the paint. According to Sal “The Apprentice” in Cartoon’s camp, the pictures don’t really do the piece justice, and they’ll be displaying the bike at car shows in the future. If that’s the case, we can’t wait to see the custom bike in person.

To get your Roland Sands and Cartoon fill in the meantime, check out their new shops in the Skid Row section of downtown Los Angeles. Cartoon’s “Last Laugh” tattoo studio opened up this past Saturday along with Upper Playground LA and Estevan Oriol’s retail space. Roland Sands is temporarily filling a fourth revolving concept space, where the motorcycle designer is exhibiting next to limited-edition fashion pieces from designer and model Tony Ward’s line, Six in the Face.
