The full review is here, along with another bike from the same stable for mere ?49.6k

[Rhiwbina_Squirrel]

From an engineering point of view... very nice.

Wouldnt take much to "tart" it up though.

[Rich]

52k, i'd want more than an engine and a pile of scrap metal. No thanks!!!

[gettin2dizzy]

Maybe it was worth 50K BEFORE he crashed it! ;)

[pencil shavings]

I think its nice to look at, dosent look fun to ride though. And I definatly wouldnt pay over £50k for one!

for that much you could build your own perfect bike.

[Sosha]

Not to me.

Next...

[muffles]

So it looks rubbish (IMO), doesn't handle brilliantly or have amazing (relatively) performance...what exactly does it have going for it, other than...the price? (as in, expensive toy, not as in value for money)

[ocr_sv]

gotta appreciate its brother tho, however thats close to the £50k mark and you could build a custom chop for less

Very popular with the actors apparently. Brad Pitt has one.

I'll svae my 52k, beef up the SV and put a deposit down on a house with a garage to keep it in :D

[Ceri JC]

Let's be honest. Bikes like that are never going to be really ridden. Some rich chaps will buy them, take them out one or two times on a sunny Sunday afternoon and then keep it in their palatial garage as a talking point/bit of automotive art and sell it in 20 years time for a bit of a profit. What I would love to see is someone commuting in all weathers on one of those day in day out, that'd be superb. Interesting looking bikes though.

For £50k I wouldn't think twice about having that!

I believe Pitt has a Hellcat, rather than a Wraith.

[DoubleD]

don't like it

[Warthog]

Ugh, useless, ugly, waste of money.

[wyrdness]

I like Kevin Ash's conclusion:

the Wraith only exists to make everyone look at you so you can show off just how much money you've got. I find that rather vulgar and, worse, it says you don't really know much about bikes anyway, or you'd have bought a better one, for much less.

Is it worth it ? ?52kYes. Abso-farkin-lutely.

Hmmmmm... Allow me to translate Mr Ash's words:

"I can't afford one."

Anyway, you're all sooooo behind the times, we discussed this over two years ago, see here. (http://69.65.101.155/showthread.php?p=944589&highlight=tool#post944589)

I love Mr Sid Squid in the non gayest way possible :) Tells it like it is ;)

[Grinch]

Looks like the bottom is made out of half a oil dum.

[MiniMac]

Urgh! Manky!
