Author Message   Limitedx1 Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 01:47 pm:        i have noticed, specifically with wakan and confederate motorcycles that they going to the gas tank under the motor......it took me a while looking at these bikes figuring out where the gas was at. i bet riding one of those bikes with all that weight that close to the ground would be a completely different feel. i know you xb guys get close to that feeling, but those under engine tanks are more concentrated weight in one spot, where the xb is top to bottom perimeter   Xl1200r Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 01:58 pm:        Wakan is under the seat, just like the BMW F800 bikes.   Spatten1 Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 02:00 pm:        Like the 1980's V-Max.   Hughlysses Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 02:00 pm:        and Gold Wing   Limitedx1 Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 02:14 pm:        sorry i was reffering to these two bikes specifically, confederate fighter and wakan track racer. i believe the confederate wriath has the same tank design   Glitch Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 02:50 pm:        i bet riding one of those bikes with all that weight that close to the ground would be a completely different feel. Full would feel different than half full would feel different that almost empty. I've used several different exhaust systems on my bike, and you can definitely tell a difference when using a light weight exhaust. The handling is way better with the light weight. So I guess you would start out with a bike that handles ok, and as you ride the handling gets better?   Xl1200r Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 03:14 pm:        Holy f**k! Those bikes are bad ass. I wasn't aware of those iterations...   Swordsman Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 03:52 pm:        Wow, that top one looks oh-so-comfy to sit on! Doesn't Lego make that one? ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on July 20, 2009)   Skntpig Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 03:55 pm:        It looks like the top one has the fuel in the top large frame tube. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like there is a filler there. Edit: It's an oil tank up top.

Your right foot and ankle better be wrapped in asbetos.   Limitedx1 Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 04:26 pm:        I just think the look of certain bikes like the ones i have provided look killer with no conventional gas tank   Slaughter Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009 - 04:31 pm:        Bad-Ass... ...the condition you get after attempting to actually RIDE one of these machines.
