This cute little chap is Ben, a Beardie with a lot of character. He enjoys his creature comforts and his walks (as long as they are not too long) and is young for his years. His favourite trick is opening doors! He can live with cats, children and other dogs and is looking for a peaceful retirement home where he can relax and enjoy himself.

The basic fundamentals of motorbike design have remained pretty much the same over the last 50 years, but that could change if the Sharker ever lands in a showroom. While most cars switched to monocoque construction back in the '60s or '70s, motorcycles have stuck with a traditional supporting framework, sometimes with an added fairing for aerodynamics, pretty much since they were first invented.

The Sharker breaks this tradition by using its sexy carbon bodywork to support the rider, engine, and wheels, resulting in both lower weight and improved stiffness. Performance is impressive, with 140 horses ready to propel the Sharker to over 60 mpg in four seconds. Top speed can vary between 125 and 174 MPH depending on gearing choices.

While that all sounds very impressive on paper, I just think the Sharker looks incredibly cool. Lets hope it doesn't remain a one off prototype.
