It's definitely unique , thasssssssss 4 sure. Makes me think it's sort of like a 21st Century version of the old flat trackers or the ones that raced (can't remember the exact phraseology) around those circular wooden enclosed tracks.

Then there's always Bombardier's answer to the Segway. The Embrio concept, a prototype that may or may not make production, uses gyroscope technology to balance riders but adds a dash of flair absent in the Segway. Motor unicycle??? :shock: :shock:

Hey, where are you guys getting these pictures? Those bikes (all concept bikes?) are too cool. Can you get the specs as well?

Well I know that the Wraith is 1490cc or 91cu.in. and it's older sibling, the F-124 Hellcat has a tiny 2031cc or 124cu.in. engine. You can check both of those bikes out at http://www.confederate.com/

there was an article in one of the monthly bike magazines about the wraith--the genuis that made this abomination said that if he couldnt express his creativeness in this manner he would just as soon wait tables at some restaurant.i sure hope he has a distinguished career in the food service industry.
