John Deere Concept Motorcycles

by Steve
Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Balaji Rengarajan, who describes himself as car and motorcycle designer, drew these concept John Deere motorcycles, in sport, dirt, and touring styles.

Unlike other motorcycles that have been customized in John Deere theme, these drawings look more like something that the John Deere company themselves would design as factory.

The touring model has that tractor front-end look. But it needs bags and a trunk to give it more touring capacity.

Even if John Deere never gets into the business of producing motorcycles, I think they could still just produce some concept motorcycles for shows. What a great way to stir up rumors and get their brand published in all the magazines.

  • They need to change the rear tire. This way the bike could be used to pull stumps and plow gardens. A tractor is a tractor is a tractor. Stick to what you do best, make tractors.

  • I am not too sure I would be into a John Deere touring or sport motorcycle. I agree, stick to tractors.

    Interesting post....

  • I like this for the fact that someone has vision and the ability to see beyond the everyday. We need more ingenuity in the US. Whether its labeled JD or a fledgling company under JD motorcycles are not hard to design and manufacture, but it takes a level of creativeness to develop the concept. JD has the engineering resources to source materials and the industrial presents for buying power. Make it right and it will move.

  • Hello,
    we are a group of John Deere Biker Friends and would kindly ask to share those drawings with us in high resolution as we would like to print them on our next tour shirts. Thanks in advance.

  • Karsten, let me know your e-mail ID,
    I would be happy to share a high res image of the concepts; possibly with a layout that would look better on a 'T'.

    regards
