step 1 of 8

The body started out as a cube with 2 subdivisions all round. This was placed in a hypernurb object which smoothed all edges. I then moulded the shape by pushing, pulling, extruding.
This is the shape taken out of the hypernurb object to see the extend of the shaping.

step 2 of 8

The wheel was the first thing I modelled. The tyre, mag and disc started out as tubes. The mag tube had 36 segments. I made a selection of 9 of the inside faces at an equal distance apart and extruded to form the spokes. The forks were done in a similar way, I selected 2 outside faces and extruded outward then placed inside a hypernurb object for smoothing. I used the same forks for the rear. The front lights are oiltank shapes the top of which is used as the lens.

step 3 of 8

Again the disc brakes started as a tube. I removed some of the faces inside to form spokes. The slots around were created with a rounded cube which was copied and rotated, then placed in a boole object with the disc. The brake pads are just cylinders.

step 4 of 8

The mirrors were capsule objects halved and stretched. The front visor was a sphere halved and placed in a hypernurb then moulded by extruding outer faces. The grips and handlebars are cylinders, the brake lever was a cube placed in a hypernurb and then shaped. The air intake is a cube placed in a hypernurb and shaped. The chain sprocket is a tube and the chain is basically tubes again apart from the joining links which are cubes and cylinders for the rivets.

step 5 of 8

These are taken from the bike in their exact position. The seat is a cube placed in a hypernurb. The dials are tubes and the cylinder in the middle is supposed to be the fuel cap.

step 6 of 8

I used this trademark for my texture.

step 7 of 8

This was my first colour scheme.

step 8 of 8

I tried a different colour and played about with the trademark. I quite liked the green colour and decided on a different colour scheme.
The floor is using a car paint material, colour champagne.
I had tried a 3 point light set up with also planes dotted around with a luminance material added. My final render has ambient occlusion on and also global illumination.

Final result
