Feast your eyes on the Lazareth Wazuma V8 – the world’s most expensive quad bike: Ferrari engine, 6-speed sequential gearbox and a top speed of 241km/h.
Deemed too powerful for the road, it’s a €200,000 track-only prototype. As the rider, you sit nice and high on the engine block. That way, the next owner won’t be finding bits of you behind the headlamps.

Designer Peter Norris’s sleek Honda Chopper concept inspired by the 74-Z speeder bike from Star Wars. The powerplant consists of small electric motors built into each wheel hub that lower the center of gravity, improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
Unlike the Imperial speeder, the seating position is feet-forward.
Like the speeder, it may only ever exist in the virtual world.
