My favorite motorcycle would have to be the Suzuki GSX-R 750.

Thats gotta be a photoshop, otherwise how the hell is the rear wheel held on, let alone driven!!! Theres no hub or swingarm!?!!?!?
If it is true, ive gotta see the mechanism!
My personal tutor from uni picked up a 996 carl fogarty edition, that was damaged, he got the frame jigged, and rebuilt it himself. It looks smart and sounds awsome!!! Only rides it during the summer tho!!
Sumone else at uni has a 998 in GSE racing colours, wiv the carbon rear cans, that thing sets car alarms off every time it leaves!!! Gotta love it!

the photo above is authentic (as far as the rear wheel)
on the other side of the bike you can see how it works, there is a belt or chain (can't remember) that runs around the rim on the out side. there are no spokes so the wheel has to be designed to be alot stronger that normal. so they probably cost a ton, plus since no one else has them its marketing

^^ Yeah, so thats how the wheel is driven, but how the fuck is it held in position!?!?!?! Would have to be some form of rollers on each side of the rim, and have quite a bit of purchase to withstand the weight of the engine. I cant see it. U got ny links to any more pictures?

/\/\ His name is Billy Lane and the bike is real here are some pics: http://lichterphoto.com/m_pages/buil...lane_main.html he was on the Great Bike Buildoff on Discovery Channel. The wheel is drivin like normal bikes on a chain on one side and is rotated on Ball-bearings if I recall there are good pics at the site. Oh and I love the Ducati 999R and Aprillia RSV Mille's
