Street-legal aluminum bullet motorcycle gives off alien vibes

Bandit9’s EVE Odyssey V2 looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. With a top speed of 68 mph and fuel efficiency of 156 mpg, it is compact, efficient, handcrafted, and... Probably about as comfy whichever way you sit on it.

In the realm of custom bikes, Bandit9 Motors has carved out a distinct identity for itself since it was established in 2009. Under the direction of Daryl Villanueva, the company continues to explore the limits of motorcycle innovation. Over the years, we've enjoyed several Bandit9 pieces, including the insane supermarine motorcycle and a liquid-metal-electric scooter shaped like a backwards high heel.

Bandit9's EVE Odyssey V1 (pictured below) was an aluminum-framed suppository of a bike that created quite a stir for its avant-garde style and retro space-age aesthetic. Examples are presently housed in some of the world's most prestigious motor museums such as the Petersen Automotive Museum, the Haas Moto Museum, and the Barber Motorsports Museum.

Sorry, but it looks like a motorcycle designed for San Francisco…..

I really really HATE that alleged bike.

Looks like some kind of elongated cockroach.

Being charitable, it's a little reminiscent of those old Aermacchi racers.

That looks like it has the kickstand from hell.

Yes, that looks futuristic.

Hey, I still have a soft spot for those old Aermacchi and MV Augusta race bikes. They were pretty awesome and the Aermacchi was way ahead of its time. Admittedly, they were not that great looking

Let's not compare them to that crime against nature

Ha Ha Ha!

Looks like a War Of The Worlds tripod that forgot it was a tripod, and, well... bent over.

Where’s my Akira Powerbike?!?!

Wow - a giant suppository that gets up a head of steam before insertion! Official Vehicle of Mayor Pete.

I have only two words:

Rain, Mud.

[T.B. Yoits]

Yeah, but it doesn't fly.

[T.B. Yoits]

It’s all fun and games until the vagrants steal it to recycle the aluminum.
