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

Wakan is under the seat, just like the BMW F800 bikes.

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?

Wow, that top one looks oh-so-comfy to sit on!

Doesn't Lego make that one?

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.

You'd think that the Wraith would have mid-mount controls. Your right foot and ankle better be wrapped in asbetos.

I just think the look of certain bikes like the ones i have provided look killer with no conventional gas tank
