Confederate Motor Company's web site includes some interesting video of the "Wraith". Interesting bike, although I've got to wonder who thought that Burl Ives would work well for the soundtrack of a motorcycle video.
I love Confederate.... I've loved them since the first time I saw a HellCat years ago... They look like nothing else... and while every chopper company makes assinine performance claims, confederate actually attempts to back them up.
Dude. That video is awesome. Just because they didn't play some idiotic metal written to impress 14-year-old boys, they ain't no reason to write it off.
...the touring seat upgrade from the standard (2 blocks to the corner bar and my ass already hurts) seat.
I suppose it's just me but this bike looks like something Allis Chalmer drew up in the early part of last century on their patent application for the "first ever" two wheeled tractor.
These guys have been on Discovery and the History channel a couple of times... Cool bikes, there may be a future for cruisers after all Just kidding GPTB...
Oh, I get it now. When riding, the gas tank creates the illusion that you have a huge, flaccid schlong draped over the engine. A subtle design feature....
I think they're pretty neat. If I had that kind of money laying around I'd buy one. I can appreciate the hand work and machineing that goes into something like that, as opposed to the same old bolt together catalog custom sh*t these other clowns are throwing up.
I always thought the Hellcat was a cool looking bike, but the price is way out of line with what I can afford not to mention where would I get it fixed.
This new Wraith on the other hand is one of the worst looking bike I have ever laid eyes on!!
I can't figure out which part of the bike is the ugliest. Guess the belly pan and forks may be tied for this honor. Actually, eliminate the pan and substitute conventional looking forks and it might not be too hard on the eyes.
Yuck! But I love SV1000s so my opinion means absolutely nothing!
One thing is for sure, if you ride the Confederate bikes in public, you WILL get noticed. I'm sure that's one of the main reasons people buy such bikes.
Even if you dont like the practicality of these bike's, their uniuqe style and brilliant craftmanship make them stand out as a genuine collectable work of art.
