The CONFEDERATE HELLCAT is the ultimate American performance bike.
Low production, handcrafted, high performance machines produced from the highest quality components in the world: Race quality European hydraulics and suspension coupled with a (S&S) 113 cubic inch motor, and chrome-moly frame.
The HELLCAT is the crown jewel of the Confederate Company. Magazines have called it the fastest, best handling, quickest stopping production bike in America. Currently, the price of a new one is over 60 thousand dollars. They come standard with many milled billet parts. (As opposed to castings) All brakes, levers, master cylinders, pegs, rocker box covers, front fork assembly, and even the entire inner and outer primary case are 6160 - T6 milled billet aluminum.
WORKS PERFORMANCE suspension. Polished billet rocker boxes. RIVERA PRIMO primary drive coupled through the 5 speed right side drive transmission with Andrews backcut gears with ball bearing support on both sides of the counter shaft sprocket. The oil rides in the frame which also cools the oil, 5 quart capacity. Temperature and pressure gauges are standard.
Not for nothing Baddog but I don't think I've ever seen a Bike thread that you had something positive to say. I know you've been riding for many many years but that doesn't make you an expert on everything motorcycle. People have different taste in bikes and I love Harley and Cruisers but I'd like to own a Sporter type bike also. Maybe just a head turner .. I can afford to so why not.
