New Kyushu Motorcycle Club

NKMC // New Kyushu Motorcycle Club

Sentient motorcycles I designed for the New Kyushu Motorcycle Club, part of The Endling Saga.

Every bike is built by 3Moons Automotive and has its own personality, which drove most of the design decisions. They steer themselves, so they don't have handlebars. The one model that does, the XM-23 Latifrons, is considered a mistake in-world: a heavy-lifter with far too much torque and a very low opinion of anyone who tries to grab it by the horns.

The club is split into two factions, and the bikes follow them. The Dead Gods live in the wastelands around the city, so their machines are built for dust, weight and distance, gruff and dependable and hard to break. The Electroghosts rarely leave the neon streets of the capital and ride the fast, dangerous models that should never have left the test bench, like the Riastrad, quick enough to bend time and fitted with a Limiter to keep its rider alive.

The bikes of New Kyushu are sentient, and can often be seen riderless, travelling the wastes...
