Default Hellcat motorcycles $69k bike...

There is an article on it in the cycleworld mag I got at the show yesterday. Sure is cool looking, but the price tag is a bit steep. Anybody seen one in person or better yet, ridden one? See it here

I think Tom Cruise has one. Ask him about it. I like the Hellcat but the Wraith is butt ugly. These guys have been around for a few years now. I remember seeing articles about Confederate motorcycles back when I lived in cali, 3-4 years ago. 69K for a bike is insane.

I think they look like a toy I'd buy for my kid.....they don't look like real motorcycles to me.

I think they're pretty cool. The Hellcat is neat with the exhaust built into the swingarm, and they are pretty fast bikes. I remember reading an article about them recently, they moved to Alabama (Huntsville? can't remember), because the shop was totaled due to Katrina.

I've ridden them. Handle really well. Almost like a sport bike.

Ugly, fast, great handling- none of that stuff matters if you can't keep the damn thing running. For 69,000 bucks, I expect more.

For 69G you could build a HELLA bike and it would look WAY better than those Buell rejects.
