The only thing that makes me weary about bikes is the damage that they can cause to the human life when involved in an accident. No matter how well you may gear up, and it may not be your fault, but fast bikes and crazy roads are a deadly combination. On the flip side the dexterity of the bike and its compact size make them envy on crowded street junctions. Alex Hodge takes the best of bikes and marries it to the safety cocoon of a car to give us the Hodge Hawk Three-Wheeler Concept. It vehicle is powered by a Honda RC51 V-twin 999cc motor that touches 10,000rpm for a 120ps shot at the 19-inch front wheel. Carbon fiber and plastic coating is used to make the body lightweight.

Looking much like a car, the body boasts of headlights and a windscreen stretching to the rear panorama-style. Hodge Hawk has the advantage of looking like a car but giving the feel of a bike. Road safety and shelter from the elements are its key benefits.
