V-REX - Tim Cameron's next big design

Since then, Cameron has designed more than a dozen motorcycles, a sampling of which follow, with Tim’s own words describing them

The Dreambike

‘Dreambike’ has been making news around the world and stories about it have been published in Australia, France, Greece, Spain, Mexico and the U.S.

Harley-engined custom cycles are currently enjoying a new popularity in the states, but I have to admit that they always seemed a bit ‘low-tech’ to me, hence the Dreambike design, where I have attempted incorporating futuristic features in both chassis and drivetrain coupled with the classic American V-twin engine - what a combination!

The main feature of the Dreambike design is the hydraulic, two-wheel powered drivetrain. Australian bike designer Ian Drysdale pioneered such a system back in the 80’s and only recently Yamaha introduced a similar system on one of their dirt bikes, but only on the front wheel.

While I was at it I designed a ‘hub-centre’ steering setup also powered by the hydraulic system in the form of two gear-driven sliding arms deflecting the front wheeel.

Since the design has been released, I have received numerous enthusiastic offers from various companies to build the Dreambike in low production volumes, but so far nothing concrete has been confirmed. Roadster

A simple inline four that ended up looking somehwat semi-retro. The ‘70’s ‘four pipe’ look must have got inside my head, with a touch of 70’s scrambler. The most interesting part of the design for me was the idea of using the main frame rails in double-duty as engine cases.
