Looking more like a wheeled Gundam robot than a motorcycle, Mehmet Doruk Erdem’s BMW S1000RR ‘Phantom’ is a sight to behold. Sure, it’s just a rendering, but it looks like it could take to urban roadways right now. His menacing creation uses a BMW S1000RR superbike as the base, seriously lowers the bars, and then adds some leaping-big cat bodywork to the whole thing. The seat looks like a bit of an afterthought, but who cares. The Phantom certainly looks like it’s made for straight-line, insane speeds riding only. It’s just the kind of bike we could see in a futuristic movie or videogame, designed for a protagonist who loves risk.
