This is what would happen if the three Danish collaborate to design a motorcycle concept named Viking Custom Bike Concept.
Maybe Henrik Fisker’s automotive manufacturing adventure has ended, but that doesn’t mean that the Danish designer can’t delight gearheads with his creations. Unlike some of his famous designs like the Aston Martin DB9 or BMW Z8, his latest work has only two wheels.

Fisker worked together with Anders Kirk Johansen, an industrialist or well known as CEO of LEGO toys on the Viking Concept, a design study that indicates a possible future direction for bespoke Danish custom bike builder, Uffe Lauge Jensen.
Their design unveiled at Monaco’s Top Marques luxury brands show, the Viking Concept points to a possible volume-production direction for Johansen’s Lauge Jensen brand. "We are finally realizing the Viking Concept, we show to the public in Monaco. It is a step in our company strategy to introduce a limited edition motorcycle custom bike Great Dane, " said Anders Kirk Johansen.

The Viking Concept is powered by a 45-degree V-twin engine producing 100 hp, allowing the bike to reach a top speed of more than 130 mph (209 kph). Furthermore, it is one of the first motorcycles of its type to comply with new Euro IV emissions regulations that come into effect in the year of 2016. The engine was built in Wisconsin, USA – coincidentally (or not) the state where Harley-Davidson is based.
"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," said Henrik Fisker respond to this concept motorcycle. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | CARSCOOP]
