Ian McElroy designed this contraption using software only. It's supposed to be a motorcycle, but IMHOIn My Humble Opinion, it's mostly an engine and two wheels. It's pretty, that's for sure, but like the Dodge Tomahawk {link}, this does not look practical. Even motorcycles coming from Confederate can be used day-to-day.
The "motorcycle" is called KickBoxer, and the engine comes from the Subaru Impreza WRX  car, including a turbo. Other car parts were used to "make" this vehicle; gearbox from a Mitsubishi AWD car, hubs from a 1980 GM car and the rear axle from a Datsun 280Z.
I'll admit that as a work of art, it looks impressive, it wouldn't look out of place at the Guggenheim museum. But on the road, you'd have trouble controlling it. But what a blast it would be to ride it....
Nice piece of design work though...
