That’s the Yamaha MT-01, a concept power cruiser that got motorcycle enthusiasts atwitter. But take a closer look at the photo above: that’s not a real bike – it’s actually an ultra-realistic paper model of the motorcycle!
And yes, you can download the paper craft data and assembly instruction: Link – via Vector Vault, Thanks Adam!

I’m pretty sure William Gibson has mentioned bikes with ultra-light paper frames in a few of his books. This is the logical end of that process, a bike with a paper frame, paper engine, and paper wheels.
That’s maybe not so crazy…nanopaper may be the next big thing.

Thanks for posting this one.
I am crossing my fingers that some Neatorama member will actually be ambitious enough to create one.
Personally, I lack the patience.
Amazing structure.

Wasn’t it the bike courier’s bicycle that was made of paper?
I forget the name of the actual novel…hang on I looked it up, it’s virtul light.
Also I am fairly sure that the bike in the article is a Beull, as it has the in line V engine from a Hardly Davidson.
Nopwe, it is a Yamaha MT-0, which is weird as it so looks like Beull.
