# High-Speed Motorcycle Concepts The Orion Streamliner Draws Inspiration from Birds of Prey By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-04-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycle-concepts References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/orion-streamliner-was-inspired-by-predatory-birds-body/) & [cgdrk.deviantart](http://cgdrk.deviantart.com/) The number of motorcycle concepts coming into the market are on the rise with the Orion Streamliner being one of the more sculptural out there. Designed after the aesthetic or a bird of prey, the Orion Streamliner motorcycle is impossibly low to the ground, which leads one to believe it's mostly intended for recreational use. Designed by Mehmet Doruk Erdem, the Orion Streamliner is equipped with a [turbo-charged engine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolette-shockwave) that allows it to reach high speeds without disturbing the rider's experience. The [carbon fiber body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini) of the Orion Streamliner allows it to be powerful, strong yet surprisingly lightweight. As the demand for more flexible transportation options rise, we could see more similar motorcycle concepts entering the market to help influence mainstream brands. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **High-speed Motorcycle Concepts:** The rise of innovative motorcycle concepts with improved speed and design inspires the creation of aerodynamic models with new technologies - **Aesthetic-inspired Design:** Designs inspired by natural objects like the Orion Streamliner creates opportunities for aesthetics and functionality in similar transportation industries - **Lightweight Materials and High-performance:** High-performance motorcycles that utilize lightweight materials like carbon fiber present opportunities for disruption in the materials and manufacturing indutries ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Similar motorcycle designs and lightweight materials could be applied to the automotive industry for improved aerodynamics in cars and other vehicles - **Aerospace and Defense:** Lightweight materials used in motorcycle design could have applications in aerospace and defense industries for the development of aircraft, drones, and military equipment - **Sporting Goods:** Motorcycle and other transportation concepts inspired by natural objects and utilizing lightweight materials could translate to improved sporting goods designs in industries like cycling and skiing ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eve-odyssey-motorcycle.md) - [Shapeshifting Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercycle.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Angular Electric Motorbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cp1-concept.md) - [Angular Futuristic Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-crs01.md) - [Tech-Influenced Racer Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-racer-concept.md) - [Futuristic Sci-Fi Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermes-x30.md) - [Cyberpunk-Inspired Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-motorcycle-concept1.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akiraducati-superbike.md)
