Form Exploration

The the above sketch I was looking into how to design the bike in a way which looks dynamic without the use of hard, sharp angles, which often give new riders the impression that it is a fast and dangerous bike to ride.
I also tried to use as much of the CBF 125 as I could to reduce the amount of parts which would have to be re designed
This is a diagram showing the new position of the fuel tank, lowering the centre of gravity, and giving the ride a large storage space which can be opened while sitting on the bike

This concept with the idea of simplifying the motorbike into sections. Also using more friendly, clean shapes to make the bike approachable even for a new rider. 
The main frame and swing arm section are designed to look like a bicycle making it seem familiar. and sturdy as it has no floating parts.
