Ah yes, I remember this company. The bikes are all designed and handcrafted here in the US with great care. All except for the motor that apparently comes from Hyosung if I'm not mistaken. IMO I would get one and then put a higher quality motor in it, but that's just me.

Confederate Cycles p120 Fighter, I love the Mad Max kind of styling this bike has. For normal use however I would love a Ducati Multistrada.

I've liked the Diavel since I've seen it. The long cruiser look combined with a sport bike. Pretty crazy in my opinion. But it is a cruiser.

Instead of creating a new thread, I thought I'd bump this one.

1987 Yamaha FZR1000 Genesis



Or any of the late 80s early 90s with the dual circle headlamps.

Considering that GSXR 250 is in Australia it wouldn't make much sense for someone in the states to buy it. Would probably go through hell getting it registered too.

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available.

Even if it was still available, that model has never set foot in the US. So it would cost you quite a bit to get it in the US and then as was said, good luck getting it registered here. Plus it would be in metric and you would have ZERO parts available for it w/o calling Japan and praying you can get something for it.

I have a number of dream bikes, but the bike I think will be my next bike is the Ducati 848.
If everything goes as planned, I should have one in the next couple years or so.


Another dream bike of mine is the MV Agusta F3, but I'll probably own that when this happens:

Isn't every part on the ninja 250 also metric? like bolts and stuff? I dunno what that means exactly. "in metric" sorry. I'm not being a troll, just confused


My dream bike would definitely be a ducati 1198. Beautiful, sounds sexy, not the typical I-4 screamer, and it's a wicked cornering bike with tons of torque.

My more realistic "dream" bike for once I get out of school and have a job is a Triumph Daytona 675R in pearl white. I love them. They're not a Japanese bike, they have a stronger mid-range than the other 600's, and damn that triple sounds so good!

I likely won't ever own that Ducati because it's just so big, but I'm allowed to dream right? an 848 might be a more realistic goal for the future. Whatever I get, I'm going to keep a 250R in the garage, just because the 250 is so fun to beat on without going too far above the speed limits.

Sounds like a garage full of win to me; a Ninja 250R, a Daytona 675R, and an 848 EVO

I'm talking about the gauges being in metric measurement. To my knowledge, the metric speedos do not include mph. Also the odometer would be in kilometers instead of miles. So unless he had an instant calculation in his head that was perfect it would make things a bit difficult when trying to adjust speed and distance.

Also what I mean by not having parts available is because that 250 is a type that never made it to the states and therefore nothing (other than maybe a few nuts and bolts that are pretty standard) would be available for maintenance or repair.
