Would you drive this?

I would, and apparently someone produces it. I wonder how much? It looks cool :)

How are you supposed to sit on it? The seat looks too small and where do your feet rest on?
Also it has no mudguards. So no I wouldn't ride it.

Motorbikes are too dangerous anyway. You have protection if you crash in a car; not with a motorbike.

lol, what a faggot.


Kracass, I think that bike's just concept art. It's similar to a Confederate Hellcat, but I don't think that particular one's in production. To answer your question, yes I'd ride it.

That reminds me of the envbike, it runs off of a hydrogen fuel cell. You even get a home hydrogen fuel generator with it.

Looks like something straight out of Battlefield 2142
It costs $7,000.

I thought it looked familiar, it's the Confederate Renovatio. Their bikes are badass, anyone that doesn't like them is obviously a cockjockey.

Ehh... Neither of them (the ones posted by Kracus and NS) look comfortable. I also don't like those front pillar thingies on the Wraith.

But if I rode a bike I'd prefer a cruiser over a crotch rocket anyway. :shrug:


On a related note, is the Tomahawk actually in production, and do people ride it? Or was all the hype about it being made just lies? I haven't heard about it or see one for years...

wow, that is a cool idea...

Though, the power taking a 90º turn is never a good thing :S

i wonder how it will handle though.

That's Jesse James' 'Radial Hell', innit? I wouldn't want to deal with the torque from that thing constantly trying to flop the bike over.

the power of the bike is comming from the Prop shaft, that is doing down the Middle of the Bike, then they put a transfer box to make it have a 90º turn, to a Belt, the belt inturn feeds the usuall belt fed Bike transmission.

So the Torque and etc is going straight to that transfer box, causing more overall stress and powerloss...

its a cool idea, and great to see that he got it working.

Uhh, how (with the exception of the belt) is that different than every transverse-engined car on the planet?
