I can't say this is a beautiful naked motorcycle. When I first saw it, let me remember the 90s movie series of Terminators. It looks more like some kine of German-Style machine.
This was a creation of Mat Chambers. Chambers left law practice in 1991 to found Confederate, and has dedicated the past 18 years to capturing that outlaw style and spirit with his utterly unique American hot-rod motorcycles. When the company's radical B120 Wraith streetfighter debuted on our April '05 cover, the New Orleans-based manufacturer seemed poised for its big break. But just a few months later, Hurricane Katrina changed everything.
Confederate was relocated 350 miles north to Birmingham, Alabama. Though devastating at the time, this interruption proved to be a blessing in disguise, giving Chambers an opportunity to make crucial improvements to every aspect of his company.
The revitalized Confederate's first offering is a substantially refined B120 Wraith, benefiting from multiple improvements to the unique double-wishbone front suspension and a re-engineered transmission and primary drive that earned the company a patent. The Wraith retails for US$92,500 - One of the most expensive motorcycle in the market.
