Wow. It's so ugly it has to be fast.

AlabamaNomadRider · 10-02-2010, 06:52 AM

That is one ugly bike no matter how you slice it. I would rather have a slow bike but a bike that people enjoy looking at.

I think in this case the lady rider is easy to look at. ;)

dabull · 10-02-2010, 08:18 AM

1. Ugly
2. Looks seriously uncomfortable
3. $72K....u gotta be kiddin right?

**ringadingh** · 10-02-2010, 08:31 AM

I doubt you could sit on it for very long, looks very uncomfortable. But Im sure someone has enough cash to blow on it.

ponch · 10-02-2010, 09:22 AM

For a fraction of that cost you'll be able to buy the new K1600GTL and that will have 160HP(130ft/lbs torque) too, but be reliable, tourable and fast.

A radial twin? Is that what they are calling HD motors now?

Bdog · 10-02-2010, 09:38 AM

I love it! Only for its sheer mechanical attributes. I would buy it for about 10k..hmm..so I guess I won't get one..Bdog

dougster · 10-02-2010, 09:40 AM

That is just UGly!

redjay · 10-02-2010, 10:33 AM

Jay Leno has probably ordered one !

xncrman · 10-02-2010, 11:20 AM

I think I made something like that with my erector set when I was 9 or 10.... ???

jandreu · 10-02-2010, 12:14 PM

I agree, looks like an erector set gone bad, but for maybe 10-12K I'd order one today. 70K I think thoes boys must be smoking there own grass.

classic1 · 10-03-2010, 12:53 PM

That's definitely different. Confederate Motorcycles have been around for a few years and have always had unique designs. At one time they ran the motor oil thru the frame tubes and used them as an oil cooler.

ponch · 10-03-2010, 03:35 PM

I'd rather have a bike I enjoy riding and looking at regardless of performance.
