Confederate Motorcycles has always gone against the grain in its quest to create truly masterful visions of a motorcycle like no other. A quick glance through its official website is both highly amusing yet amazingly informative as well.
“There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over,” said Hunter S. Thompson once upon a time. “A Confederate Combat is a metaphysical force you neither own nor ride. Living beyond the physical boundaries of existence, your Combat is an accomplice that rides you, created to nurture your soul – mount up, unpack, refresh and renew.”
This is all marketing spiel, but crafted in such a way to intrigue you. The second-generation P51 Combat Fighter is indeed an intriguing piece of machinery. It’s built primarily for drag racing, and it’s built entirely out of 6061 aerospace billet aluminium, right down to the unitised engine block and heads.
Confederate called on the original P51 head designer Jon Kasse, who was the catalyst for the second-generation’s all-new head design and induction system. The result is V-twin powerplant that measures 2,163 cc and produces 200 hp and 230 Nm of torque.
The bike’s chassis has a structural intake box that ties directly into a CNC billet aluminium structural downdraft intake manifold, which is apparently an industry first. The fuel tank is structural – huge billet blocks are machined and welded to create the bridge that connects the induction system to the swing arm pivot.
A total of 61 G2 P51 Combat Fighter Special Editions are scheduled to be crafted: with 31 units designated ‘blonde’ and presented as raw machined billet; while another 30 units will be designated ‘black’ and presented as raw machined billet anodised black. The ‘blonde’ will retail for $113,900 (RM480k) and the ‘black’ will retail for $119,500 (RM505k).
“There exists both beauty and brutality in the P51 Combat Fighter aesthetic and the way it rides you. It is the metaphor for American rebellion.” Now, what about that?

unnecessary bike
You are unnecessary
Pay so much money for a fuel exhausting motor yet you need to take shelter under the bridge during raining and enjoy the sun bath during sunny day?
Only dalangong (aka sozai, stupid) will do this.
RM500k for a bike to show off? Better get a RM50k used kimchi.
I dont want to buy your toyota
Fine. You don’t have to get out from Malaysia/Japan if you don’t like Toyota. But end of the day, you will learn Toyota value in another way.
This also explain why uncles and aunties like Toyota. They understand the value for money spent.
This one looks like the bike in FF7
Indeed.
Could’ve been RM340K if the exchange rate were normal..
Even if its 34k, you couldnt afford it. Go back to school, kid.
Don’t forget GST also duke!
I would give up driving cars for the rest of my life to ride this bike.

Question is how to stop ppl stealing it ?
Absolutely no value to thieves except for joy riding…
U cant ride it without being spotted.. u cant chop it up for parts..
What a absolute beast!!! Would be challenging to ride this but would be interesting to test is out on the race track.
Those who don’t ride, won’t understand. But those who do, will…
While the bike looks nice, the exhaust manifold on the left side looks awfully close to your calf / thigh. As if the ducati’s diavel or panigales are not hot enough.
waiting TESLA e-bike
there wont be one. elon musk has said it.
i dont mind this bike hugging the right lane and being pricks all the way !
P-51 Fighter…..Shall we call it a Mustang?
