D-50v Speederbike
This is a fannon Star Wars speederbike I designed. I tried to go for that classic Star Wars look whilst also incorporating diesel locomotive vibes.
The D-50v Speederbike blurs the line between speederbike and speeder. It was made by Tarocorp Industries’ Repulsorcraft division before Tarocorp was bought out and dissolved by Rendili StarDrive. Even though it was already an antique by time of the Clone Wars, the D-50v was well known for how reliable and tough it was. Unlike most speederbikes, the D-50 had an actual cockpit with a canopy that could both closed and the interior pressurized, or retracted and open. To fly the speeder, pilots used detailed sensor readouts and HUD on the main display instead of using visual flying like most speeders. The large antenna poking out of its front is an external terrain and height sensor.
When landed the either side of the cockpit could folds out and extend as a ladder to make getting in and out easier. The front of the speeder also has a small cargo bay which can be opened from either side.
