That’s the name of this motorcycles, “It’s A Motor Cycle! It’s A Camera! It’s… A Motorcycle Made Of Cameras?” is an odd name for a bike. Premise of how this bike came to be, reads like a joke: A company contacts a well-known custom motorcycle builder and asks him to build, of all things, a security camera.

The Conceptualization
Mr. Haku of Japan Security System Co. reached out to Chicara Nagata, a talented custom bike builder, and asked him to build a low-key surveillance camera to be displayed at a convention. With no time to spare, Chicara broke his head over figuring out how to design this camera, and in the end, he went with the thing he knows best – Motorcycles.
The Design
The “It’s A Motor Cycle! It’s A Camera! It’s… A Motorcycle Made Of Cameras” is sleek black, with cameras placed instead of the headlight and taillight. The bike’s cross bar carries another two cameras, for side view coverage. With cameras facing all four directions, this spy-motorcycle has a 360-degree view – that too equipped with night vision LED emitters. The bike’s design resembles that of Vanmoof and other high-end custom motorcycle designers.
The Specs
The four cameras are 2 megapixels each, and are manufactured by Sony. The bike runs on a 49cc gas engine, manufactured by Honda in 1966.
What Can It Be Used For?
The “It’s A Motor Cycle! It’s A Camera! It’s… A Motorcycle Made Of Cameras” can be used in museums, hotel lobbies, entry to buildings, and for a swift spin around town.
