The Slovenian company, Akrapovič is well known for making exhausts, but in recent years, they have gotten pretty good at making some unique motorcycles. Their latest two-wheeled vehicle is called the ‘Full Moon’.

The company partnered with Dreamachine Motorcycles to create the radical-looking concept bike.

The bike was reportedly hand-crafted out of sheet metal and the entire design is made to form an extension to the exhaust. The motorcycle's name reflects the massive thirty-inch front wheel that is derived from aluminum and carbon.

The bike features two custom-made exhausts and an S&S Knucklehead 1,524 cc engine. According to Akrapovič “The steering is completely automated, which allows a minimalist steering rod without any visible cables that would otherwise be required for the bike to function.”

Thanks to the hydraulic suspension, the ‘Full Moon’ can stand entirely upright without the need for a kickstand.

The bike, which took 800 hours to create, was unveiled at the Bad Salzuflen Custombike Show in Germany.
