The style is called 'steam punk'. People are coming up with all sorts of cool re-imagined things such as sci fi space stuff but done in a 1800's style.

Here is some other stuff: http://tinyurl.com/cxxdokc

Here are some other bikes, sure enough that bike comes up in the search for 'steampunk motorcycle':http://tinyurl.com/ck3pm3s

If you like that sort of thing then check out Shinya Kimura. That guy makes some epic motorcycles.

1900s. Steampunk is late-Victorian, early-Edwardian Britain in tone.

I don't think I would actually catergorise that as Steampunk. Maybe a meaningless point however I would regard it as retro-futurism ie. like the Jetsons, Flash Gordon etc
