# Sports Car-Inspired Motorcycles The '618' Two-Wheeled Motorcycles are Inspired by the Porsche 911 By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-04-11 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-motorcycles References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/04/11/half-a-porsche-twice-the-fun/) The '618' two-wheeled motorcycles come as a modern interpretation of the design cues and aesthetics from the [Porsche](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-ebike-cross) [911](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linea-micra) that have been adopted into a fashionable road vehicle. Designed by Miguel Angel Bahri, the '618' motorcycle features a low center of gravity and a balanced design that makes it far superior to the traditional aesthetic of two-wheeled motorcycles. The '618' motorcycle features a [Le Mans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/randolph-driveworks) style door that opens up to reveal a compartment that can be used to store luggage or other essentials such as helmets and gloves. Additionally, the '618' motorcycle features digital instrument dials to ensure optimal control capabilities, while the monocoque body give the feeling of a vehicle that is unlike anything seen outside of the automobile design focus before. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 80% | 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 - **Sports Car-inspired Motorcycles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the motorcycle industry by merging sports car design cues and aesthetics. - **'618' Two-wheeled Motorcycles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in motorcycle design through the incorporation of a low center of gravity and balanced design. - **Digital Instrument Dials:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in motorcycle technology by implementing digital instrument dials for optimal control capabilities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Motorcycle Industry:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the motorcycle industry by introducing sports car-inspired design cues. - **Automobile Industry:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automobile industry by applying sports car design elements to motorcycles. - **Technology Industry:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the technology industry by developing advanced digital instrument dials for motorcycles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automobile-Inspired Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-ebike-cross.md) - [Dapper Dual-Tone Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-motorrad-ch4-superbike.md) - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Carbon Fiber Supercar Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-panigale-v4-lamborghini.md) - [Tech-Influenced Racer Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-racer-concept.md) - [Custom Aluminum Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821.md) - [Retro-Inspired Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman.md) - [Manga-Influenced Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-ichiban-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Cantilevered Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-g7-scrambler.md)
