This is the answer to the question that nobody asked or will ever ask! And it proves my theory: You can put just as much time and money into a project that won’t work as one that will.

My question is, who is the prospective buyer for a bike like this and what would they do with it? I can’t imagine basing my future on the manufacture of a bunch of these. There is a saying (when things go better than planned), that the total is greater than the sum of its parts. On this bike, the total is far less than the sum of its parts. Yes, its a Barbara Streisand type bike.

From a performance only standpoint I gotta say it’s bitchin’. From a style standpoint it does zero for me but then again my taste runs more toward semi traditional American styling. From a practical standpoint I’ve never seen a motorcycle worth over $100k, still haven’t.

Hmm, a buck ninety, eh?

Didn’t the Wraith top out at about 90 at Bonneville?

When looking at a Confederate Motorcycle it is a lot like looking at Barbara Streisand —— when you look at each individual part of her independently they are not half bad looking but once the entire package is assembled and you stand back and take a look, they are just plain Butt Ugly! Just my observations.

Scout, do you not recognize Mongotron, one of the evil Decepticons, when you see him? It’s obvious what Confederate is up to — world domination.

me like! Maybe one day I can ride one. I really like the reverse wedge look. At 190mph I would expect the rear tire to be a bit loose? peace

Like it or not, I think it’s great to see that they think there is still a market for this type of bike (cost and style). I think it’s also great that they continue to develop their own style and don’t follow or copy others like a lot of builders out there. How about we give them some support, whether you like the style or not. It’s good for the industry..

It would be much more impressive if Marisa Miller was draped all over the bike.

Because it’s expen$ive doesn’t mean it’s desirable… Look, Confederate built themselves a high-tech rat rod!

Confederate has done some pretty cool bikes, but this one’s certainly quite… er… special.

I enjoyed riding several of them and they had a street fighter bobber with apehangers once, that was a hoot to ride.

Since I am not a rich and beautiful person, I won’t line up for this cobbled-up piece of modern art, or for anything in the Neimann Marku$ catalog for that matter.

To each his own though.

Peace.

I like the one piece tux riding suit, with the deerskin gloves – very natty.
As far as the bike goes…cool sculpture, lots of pretty bits,
slap a Mustag seat on it and your good to go.

Does it transform into a fighting robot? I hope so. I love fighting robots.

TomR,
Yeah, a Tomahawk would cost your a lot more bang in your bucks. Nothing like comparing a 4 wheeler with a car engine to a motorcycle.

Not very appealing to me. If I was going to spend money like that I would look for one of those dodge tomahawks. More bang and style for the buck in my opinion.

imho, when confederate first started building, the bikes looked rough and rideable….it seems to me they just keep getting stranger looking for the sake of engineering or form over function or whatever is in their creative minds
