Unusual motorcycle

[pdisme]

I met Brian from Confederate Motor Company (http://www.confederate.com) at Barber Motorsports Park last weekend, he was driving a prototype of the unusual custom motorcycle seen below that his company is about to produce 250 of; they have a bunch of pre-orders but still room for more. The full gallery is at:

The bike is all carbon fiber and aluminum with a big v-twin engine so it's light and lots of low end torque with the v-twin rumble even though it looks kind of like a sports bike.

how much? i have seen them in magazines but never a price and i didnt know they were going to produce them

He said it had been in a few mags, I don't think we talked about the price. I was more interested in his kevlar helmet as I'm not much into bikes since I got out of motocross years ago but the bike is pretty cool looking, I'd probably want one if I rode; the helmet only weighed three pounds.

interesting. not my cup of tea, but a very unique design indeed.

yeah a friend of mine got a carbon kevlar helmet last summer. Looks great, i think they run around 600-700.
