Bandit9 hops on the space-game wagon. It won’t be sending its motorcycle up into the void – at least not for now – but it toys with the materials NASA spacecraft uses, one in specific. The revamped EVE ODYSSEY adopts the space-grade aluminum used by NASA for its rocket designs. The glint it gives off may reflect the same properties of aluminum space rockets are enveloped with. More than the material, EVE ODYSSEY captures attention with its unibody form, styled like a bullet on the loose.

Bandit9 describes EVE ODYSSEY as a bringer of order to complexity. It does so by enclosing the motorcycle’s entire lighting system, steering, gas tank, and seat into a single aluminum body. The design team scoops part of the aluminum for the seating positioned next to its tail end. The no-fuss motorcycle design means a singular L-bent aluminum connects the rear tire to the seating. Its visual element shifts as aluminum tubes tie up the front tire to EVE ODYSSEY’s upper frame.

Unibody motorcycle with custom parts

Bandit9 says that EVE ODYSSEY’s electric version is underway. In the meantime, a 125cc engine makes the motorcycle run and can reach freeway speeds at 65 mph (100 kmh). The design team though wants the focus to be on its range which boasts 156 miles (250 km) per gallon, enough to reach the edge of space and back. A custom digital LED Display displays the speed of the ride, and a choice between leather or neoprene is offered for the custom saddle.

Bandit9 also fits its unibody motorcycle with custom handlebars, grips, levers, controls, mirrors, headlights, brake light, and signal. Futurism glances back at EVE ODYSSEY to make sure the unibody motorcycle is following in its footsteps. From the bullet body frame to several customizations chucked in the mix, the reimagined edition of Bandit9’s ride revs to future homes, now that the company has opened the pool of pre-orders for it on its website plus complimentary graving for those who want to name their EVE ODYSSEY.

It looks like a mid-70’s Ducati 750SS green frame and an expensive ball point pen had a kid together.

It's a museum piece.

No seat, awkward riding position with footpegs too far back and handlebars too low. Only a few miles would total out my back, my knees, wrists, and my crotch.

And to top it off, the exhaust is pointed right at the rider's right foot, only a few inches away!
