I believe that this piece of art constructed by Patricia Piccinini was made/designed from materials such as aluminum for the main body of the motorcycle due to its light weight and flexibility for those really curvatious parts. Also Aluminium is great for painting over in high gloss enamel/paint. Also another material that could be used in this work is plastic. It is durable, can be painted and colour in the rainbow and is able to be molded into various shapes and sizes. The seat is made from a type of leather or weatherproof synthetic material. The smaller piece included in the work has less components to it although it would have been made in a similar fashion. Either from plastic or aluminium.
I believe that Piccinini used types of molds to bend and curve the plastic or aluminium into those unusual shapes.
I believe also that the chassis of a vesper or scooter would have been used as the basis or as an inspiration for the piece. This shown through the seat design certain contours and to and extent the wheel base.
