    “Advances in additive layer manufacturing (ALM) have allowed us to realize the bionic design we envisioned for the motorcycle without having to make any major changes. With these technologies, the limitations facing conventional manufacturing disappear.”

    More of an electric bicycle than motorcycle but still really cool. I can't wait to see where 3D printing goes over the next 10 years

    Just shows the power of 3D printing. A while back I visited an industrial 3D printing 'warehouse' where they had some serious 3D printing equipment. The stuff they can print with SLS printers is pretty amazing. Traditional manufacturing processes just aren't able to keep up. The metal printers that would have printed this bike are the way forward. 3D printing is super exciting technology. Check out this TED talk from a about a year ago
