First hubless motorcycle was introduced in 1989.

Then Amen Design used hubless wheels on their choppers.

Never put into production,

the motor is in the rim, producing 201 hp and crazy torque.

That showbike is very UGLY, and I'm not a show bike guy. I've been to Daytona's Bike Week a few times and was never impressed by the show bikes. I go to the bike race.

Yeah I read where the motor is in the rim. That is pretty cool.
