Honestly the render is great to look at but the design is just too Akira for me personally.

i like it a lot. it looks much better than the previus versions. although i still think you should have kept the rustic look to it. but i still love how it ended up.

very well conceived and executed, but the one thing that seems to stick out is that duck bill shaped cowling over the back wheel. it's functional, but it just doesn't match up with the form language of the rest of the vehicle... which is to say, it doesn't resemble or echo the shapes used to create the rest of the bike. i'd look at some way of better incorporating it or changing it to suit the rest of the bike better.
on the other hand, it is a nice stylistic flair--in which case you should consider emphasizing it more, then, so as not to make it look like an incidental element of the design.

cool model, but that poor, poor spotlight on the front is in for quite the bashing...

Sweet! It's hard to come up with original future/hover bike concepts, but you did it really well. This is just me, but I would have colored it something other than white....

I like the design alot. I have to agree with the above comments. The duckbill looking mud guard doesn't fit in well with the overall design. Nor does the huge headlight. The headlight is much more the eyesore, I would redesign it with a sleek looking light, maybe even a slit embedded in the "hull". Something definatly more techie is in order for such an awesome design.

I guess I have to agree with you guys on the duckbill part... although, I like to keep front headlight, it holds the retro aspect of the design, which I like to have in all my designs.
and....I was definitly inspired by Kaneda's bike from Akira when I designed this....;)

Nice model and rendering..
Like others have said about the headlight.. I would probably have it the same design as the side lights you have there. More of a rectangle.. but you say you wanna keep the retro look.. I just think it spoils it since it doesn't really fit with the overall design.

I would change the headlight. It looks out of place. Like they forgot to have one, so they just screwed on a junk one.
