Call it crazy or amazing, this skull motorcycle gets a whole lot of attention, and it deserves every little bit of it. The motorcycle’s fuel tank has been converted into a skull, one with a wicked aura but still done very well. Headlights have been moved to the eyes of the skull, enhancing its “fear factor.” This would make the “Ghost Rider” look less clumsy, but seeing the way the movie went, even this it isn’t really going to help much.

The Sharker motorbike goes wildly against preset notions about motorcycle design and form, and if it weren’t an actual production motorcycle, it would have easily passed off as a concept. Created by the GERG GROUP, Sharker has carbon bodywork to support the rider, and the parts of the motorbike. The unique construction gives it reduced weight, lower height and increased stiffness.

The carbon bodywork hides a powerful monster, one that provides the bike with 140hp, and can take the motorcycle from zero to 60mph in just 4 seconds. Depending on the options chosen, the top speed can vary from 125mph to 174mph, and we’re pretty sure that the rider will be flying like a kite at either of those speeds.

The SNAP concept from designer Vít Bechynský is a concept for personal travel, though with a slight twist. While there are many concepts where such pods or personal mobility vehicles would gang up for traveling on the road, the Snap concept puts them in a train-like configuration. Each of the vehicles has the ability to connect to the SNAP train, one after the other. Each vehicle can remove from the train at specified locations, and passengers can speak to the pilot along the route, and simply rest.

This of course, as a great advantage for those traveling long distances, and it can greatly help refresh passengers for driving. Quite similar to Volvo’s idea of a “Car Train” convoy. But that’s not all for this concept, it can even convert to a two wheel motorbike, and has adjustable track width back wheels, and a large front wheel to go along.

UK Artist Benedict Radcliffe has created a couple of wireframe Lamborghini sculptures, and they do have an impressive air about them. The image above is the Koenig Lamborghini Countach, made from 160 feet of 10-millimeter steel tubing. This one was completed in 2008, and is now on sale in all its wiry splendor. The artwork measures at 14 feet long and six feet wide, and is priced at £40,000 (nearly $65,000). While that may seem like a lot to pay for the tube Lambo, judging by the price things marked “art” go for, I’ll say this one is quite a steal.

This amazing miniature train has 150 meters of track and was created entirely from scratch, and all that took 10 years. The owner of the train loves model railways and modeled this one after a train he loved as a kid. He started work on the model train after his son Takahiro was born, and went on to create this cool, steam engine powered train. The steam engine requires coal that they feed to it using mini shovels. Also, the model train looks totally worth the effort, and the duo must be very proud riding it. Video after the jump.

Artist Cal Lane’s expression of art involves intricate patterns on the most unlikely of objects. She creates patterns on cars, oil drums, wheelbarrows, and shovels. And as is clearly visible, the intricate work requires quite a lot of attention and skill. Images here are of the plasma-cut car parts created by Cal Lane.

Garia claims to be the most exclusive “Golf Car” in the world, while that may seem like a lofty phrase, the golf car indeed has a few interesting things to speak of, mainly a faint connection to some of the best automakers in the world. It boasts of things like an F1 car-like double wishbone suspension for the front, drivetrain from the same company that produces gearboxes for Ducati, aluminum body panels from the same company that does the job for Aston, Jaguar and Volvo.

Another claim to fame is that it will be produced at the Valmet Automotive factory, which also produces Porsche Boxster and Cayman. The car will have a built-in refrigerator and hand stitched seats for the interiors. Garia is a street legal vehicle and will be available as an LSV (Low Speed Vehicle). It is scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

As the East Coast welcomed 2010, Travis Pastrana took off in his Subaru Impreza WRX STI and jumped over freakin’ 269 feet of water in Long Beach. Pastrana landed on a barge floating 200 feet off the beach pier and he completed the stunt live on TV. With the huge jump, Pastrana created a new record, moving ahead of Ken Block’s 171 feet jump. As ESPN says, he made it look easy. The man completed the stunt with such finesse that it looked almost “normal.” Checkout the video after the jump to see the stunt.

Nelson Racing has a knack for creating cars with extreme power, and the case is no different with this 1969 Camaro. Not a humble car by any means, the Camaro is now a monster commanding 1750 horses through its twin-turbocharged engine. The twin turbochargers make it easy for the car to tap into its huge resources of power early, and as much as it may seem like a track-only drag racer, this Camaro is actually road legal. Checkout the video after the jump, if only to hear the roar of the mighty motor.

Designer Andrea Schoellgen’s concept proposes an upgrade to the Schwebebahn suspended monorail in Wuppertal, Germany. The designer proposes ideas to make the commute more attractive, comfortable, and useful for the passengers. A multifunctional compartment in the middle will have stroller spaces, lean elements and an open space with information screens. Commuters probably will be able to get real-time travel information from this screen, including routes and times. Colored handrails and light-up stripes for the doors will make it much easier for passengers to access the rail. More images after the jump.
