cad for motor cycles?

is there a software package that is best for designing custom motorcycles? I
want to try downloading many different parts and trying them in 3d on a bike
frame. I want to see the parts in wireframe and also in a skinned look. I
want to use a mouse to draw on pipes for exhausts. I want to rotate any
piece in real time.

can anyone suggest something that will make this easy?

"Cadenza: The orchestra's favourite part of a solo concerto, when they can
get on with reading Playboy, Autocar, etc... while the soloist sweats it out
alone... Traditionally [cadenzas] would end with a prolonged trill, the
nearest musical equivalent to an alarm-clock, its purpose being to rouse the
orchestra from slumber - the ones who have nothing to read, that is." -
Antony Hopkins, Doronbeat Music Guide (1977)

 

If your looking for easy, it doesn't get any easier than google
sketchup. Not to mention it's free. Of course this would be for
conceptual modeling only. Also, check out google's "3d warehouse."
and search "motorcycle". There's a couple slick models drawn.

 

I like a lot of what I see there, I might have to look at the pro version if
I want to mix and match or make my own though, I was hoping for a
recommendation about Autodesk software though, was there one in particular
for bikes?

If you want to stay in the realm of AutoCAD, you have two choices. AutoCAD
itself will do 3D, but you don't really want to go there. It's pretty
worthless, in my opinion, and quite user UN-friendly. The other choice is
Inventor. Inventor is a true parametric solid modeler, with a fair
rendering package. However, it ain't cheap, and has a somewhat steep
learning curve. Takes a prety robust hardware setup to run it well, also.

As usal, the old adage, "fast, pretty and cheap - pick any two" applies
here.
