Henrik Fisker Designs Lauge Jensen Custom Cruiser Motorcycle

By Ganesh

Perhaps looking to put back his bad days with Fisker Karma, a company he helped found and designed cars for, Henrik Fisker has used his talent to design a two wheeler for the first time.

Fisker, whose portfolio includes cars such as the Aston Martin DB9 and the BMW Z8, joined hands with Denmark's Anders Kirk Johansen, the owner of Lauge Jensen, to design a custom cruiser motorcycle that's been named the Viking Concept.

The Viking Concept is a unique cruiser bike with a distinctive flowing look that blends the tank, seat and rear fender in a seamless design.

Lauge Jensen has plans to mass produce a cruiser bike based on the Viking Concept that will be less expensive than the limited edition Great Dane model which it currently sells.

The Fisker designed Viking Concept is powered by a 45-degree, 100 horsepower, V-twin engine that complies with Euro IV emission standards, one of the few motorcycles to do so.

The Viking Concept has a top speed of 209 km/h.

Henrik Fisker said: "It's been a dream of mine to design and create a motorcycle for many years and this is the first time I have the freedom to go and do it. I hope people like what we have created and that we can make more of them - for sure there's plenty more to come from this collaboration between myself and Anders."

Commenting on the design collaboration, Anders Kirk Johansen says: ‘We have been developing the Viking Concept for some time, so I am delighted to reveal it today here in Monaco. Potentially, it's the next step for our company beyond our limited production Great Dane custom bike.

"It's great to have Henrik, one of the world's leading vehicle designers and a fellow Dane working in partnership with us to help create a really special, emotional design. Revealing a concept bike is all about gauging demand but, if it's there, I look forward to producing the Viking Concept for the mainstream market."
