Have an Extra $110,000 USD Handy?

The Confederate Motor Company C120 Renaissance Figher was recently included in, of all places, the Neiman Marcus catalog. There, it is described as "There's the startling, dare we say sexy, design that fuses raw power with crisp simplicity. It's an evolution of the machine, at once taken back down to its core elements while being reinvented and re-engineered for optimal performance."

Is this a sport bike? Cruiser? It certainly isn't a dual-sport. The saddle looks to be even less comfortable that a 2x4 plank strapped to the frame of a classic Harley hard-tail. Maybe the description from the Confederate Motor Company can help...

"The Fighter clarifies opaqueness and nullifies hype with straight-forward true to concept certitude. At the source is a classic right triangle. Proportion is classically derived. Scale is middle way. Bearing exudes structural permanence. Human integration deploys yang energy, vitality, and power in the most simple, pure and direct form. Geometry is optimized for the medium and/or long disciplined journey of sensory heightened motion. Torque to weight is maximized. Engine, suspension and ergonomic luxury and ease of use is optimized. Materials utilization is the finest. Individual piece and component specification is highest and best.

Craft preparation and specification is uncompromised. The aesthetic is fresh, industrial, sculptural, holistic and honest. The saddle of the Fighter is your place for those outings which require extended time, geography, meditation and distance. Personal liberation will result! "

Well, that makes things as clear as mud after being trampled by a herd of V-Strom.

It is our recommendation that if you have the money and a questionable taste in motorcycles, go ahead and buy. If you happen to gain some common sense and actually want a motorcycle you can ride and look good on, slip on a $10 t-shirt, old pair of Wrangler jeans and visit your friendly, local motorcycle dealership.

**Please note** Regardless of what is written on these sites, the C120 is NOT street legal in many states. Further proof that this bike is meant to take up space, not actually be ridden.
