It's the Confederate Renovatio and it is cutting edge design.

RENOVATIO (http://www.confederate.com/confederate2/c2-links/machines-renovatio.html)

Also delicious is the Confederate Hellcat. I have had the pleasure of spending some time on a couple of these.

HELLCAT (http://www.confederate.com/confederate2/c2-links/machines-combat.html)

Confederate also makes the Wraith, but I'm not as keen on the styling of that as I am on the Renovatio.

I am not sure if they have bailed on the design, but the engine was orig the front 2 cyls from a LS6.

naw don't let that scare you- just use some judgement in your wrist.
I'm not going to tell you anyone needs 1:2 power to weight ratio, but hey maybe one day you could open her up on the freeway that far.

I wish they had any prototype pics of the RENOVATIO ( not modeled pics)

The first one looks like your knees would be in your face, based on the peg location.

The second, to me at least, is sweet as hell.

hell, do some racing cams, pipe, pc3, filter, on a zx-10 and you're over 190 and still cheaper.

Two totally different bikes though.

You still need to factor other things into it such as torque, weight, and coolness factor.

The trick to riding this one under a heavy throttle is to put your right foot under the brake to help hold you onto the bike.

Mthrfcker will pull!

The Hellcat is on Yahoo today under the story on "20 of the world's best made things" and after spending some good time on a Hellcat, I couldn't agree more.
