Among all the shiny concept cars at the New York Auto Show, there's also three bikes. Confederate's Wraith, Fighter and Hellcat are scary pieces of rolling robotic art.

And we mean rolling literally, because, according to anecdotal evidence from multiple owners and former employees, Confederate's motorcycles have proven so unreliable that you'll probably have to push them. In fact, it's surprising to see them at the New York Auto Show today since last we heard the Alabama-based company was being sued so heavily in state courts by disgruntled owners that they were unable to do business here.

Seen here is the new version of the once aesthetically pure Confederate Wraith, the old stalwart of the company's stable, the Hellcat, and the only-sold-through-Neiman-Marcus Confederate Fighter.
