If you’re a fan of metal—the material, not the music—and a sort of raw and industrial look, you’re going to love the first bike from NYC-based Vanguard. Started by a couple of former Confederate Motorcycles guys, the company’s first bike, The Roadster, looks like it was clad in sheet metal. All designed, engineered, and built in the Big Apple, The Roadster is set to make its debut this weekend at The New York Motorcycle Show. If you travel to the Javits Center, you’ll find a bike whose engine composes its frame, whose dash is made up of what looks like an iPad Mini, and all the shiny metal your eyeballs can handle. Unfortunately, they won’t be available until 2018.
