Has anyone checked out the April '05 issue of MotorCyclist magazine? The cover has this wild looking bike built by Confederate Motorcycles out of Naw'lins, Louisiana. It's a very good article that does a good job of telling the company's history, the Wraith, and their other sport bike, the Hellcat.

If anyones interested, here's the website: Confederate

Those bikes do look wild. Very different, but actually don't look half bad.

The Wraith is actually a very innovative design. It was built like that to get the engine as far foward as possible to get a near perfect 50:50 weight distribution. It's priced @ $46K.

The 3 Hellcats are going to cost you $61K EACH.


EDIT: That's a chunk of change for 2 wheels or 4, IMO. But from what I heard and read, "NO OTHER N/A BIKE ACCELERATES YOU TOWARDS THE HORIZON FASTER THAN THE HELLCAT."
