Default Neiman Marcus Limited-Edition Fighter Motorcycle, $110,000!!!

Neiman Marcus Motorcycle Info

Limited-Edition Fighter Motorcycle
Price $110,000.00*





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. It's our street-legal sci-fi dream come to life, in the form of the limited-edition Fighter Motorcycle. Ours exclusively courtesy of Confederate Motor CompanyŽ, the first ever Fighter packs 190 mph of performance into its cutting edge carbon fiber, titanium, and aluminum chassis. There's the 64" wheelbase, 27"H seat, integrated braking system, lots of high-tech bells and whistles, and custom NM edition features. But, honestly, ride it once and you'll be too jacked up on adrenaline to remember all the details. (To view them in all their glory, go here.)

To score one of only 45 of these raw, raging, right on machines.

It's an R6. (There is an "R6" sticker on the swingarm... )

That is a custom-made swingarm. There is no racing benefit to it, but it does attact a lot of attention, doesn't it?

Yes it looks very much like an R1, but as Philip pointed out its says R6 on the swing arm. Plus Tank, Head Lights, and the tail give it away easy.

A thread with this bike was started over on another forum I read - here's the best reply I've read:

Looks like another bolt together abortion that the 3 retards from OCC might come up with after doing some crank and watching a Transformer video. Any bike with a S&S V-Twin variant engine is not high technology and only capable of so much HP because of design limitations, and regardless of however much CNC billet aluminum farkles are slapped on, IS NOT worth $110K. This bike is for over paid professional athletes, music and movie stars, and other self important wealthy *****'s who wouldn't know a true high performance motorcycle if you drove it up their ***, to pose on. Good for Confererate, if they can find 50 rich idiots to pony up, then the American dream lives.
