Description
We proudly present this stunning and super rare Confederate P51 Combat Fighter, finished in Black Billet Alloy.
This incredible 1 Owner bike was first registered new 1st January 2016.
The G2 P51 Combat Fighter sits somewhere on the scale between a motorcycle and a piece of installation art.
American manufacturer Confederate Motorcycles released their monstrous streetfighter, the G2 P51 Combat Fighter. The chopper-inspired beast is powered by an impressive 200hp air-cooled V-Twin engine, featuring 170Nm of torque, and is built entirely out of 6061 aerospace billet aluminum. A total of 61 P51 Combat Fighter special editions were crafted, 31 in raw machined billet ($113, 900), and 30 in black ($119, 500).
There exists both beauty and brutality in the P-51 Combat Fighter aesthetic and the way it rides. It is the metaphor for American rebellion.
The P-51 Combat Fighter is the world’s first and only vehicle to be carved entirely from solid billet blocks of military-grade aluminum, resulting in the most robust, fatigue-resistant motorcycle it is possible to create.
A large part of the look comes courtesy of the monocoque frame assembly that forms a sort of exoskeleton while replacing areas normally made from sheet metal and tubing with billet aluminum. That's right folks, each one of these rides starts out as a 1, 500-pound chunk of aircraft-grade aluminum, and the factory mills and machines away everything that isn't a P51 motorcycle. Is it the most practical way to go about it? Probably not, but there is simply no substitute for quality, and nothing says strength and quality quite like billet.
A seven-inch backbone stiffens the assembly and serves to contain the 3. 75 gallon fuel tank for a look that brings to mind the old “strap tanks” of yesteryear. The girder-looking front end? Yeah, it's actually a double-wishbone, parallelogram fork tamed by the tucked-away Race Tech shock with high/ low speed compression- and rebound-damping adjustments. In back, another Race Tech monoshock springs the aluminum swingarm with two-speed compression and rebound damping. Suspension travel at the axle is quite sufficient at 4. 35 and 5. 5 inches of travel at the front and rear, respectively.
Confederate tapped Beringer for brake components to tame the P51. Up front, we have a pair of 230 mm discs with four-pot, radial-mount calipers, and in back we see a single, 240 mm disc with a dual-pot caliper. Wheel weight is kept low through the use of carbon rather than any sort of metal alloy.
Now for the best part: the monster living under the bed. At 2, 163 cc, the 56. 25-degree V-twin mill is the biggest kid on the playground as it were. The air-and oil-cooled lump runs in a balls-on square layout with a 111. 76 mm bore and stroke, and uses three cams and four pushrods to time the two-valve heads.
Induction control falls to a pair of 51 mm S&S throttle bodies with Delphi engine management, and it all rests atop a billet crankcase with a forged, one-piece crankshaft. The power figures are really remarkable for an American V-twin; at 5, 100 rpm, it cranks out a respectable 145 ponies, but the 170 pound-feet of torque comes on at an astonishingly low 2, 000 rpm. To put it in perspective for you, that's just above idle speed, That's plenty of grunt.
A multi-plate dry clutch couples the five-speed transmission to engine power, and a chain final drive makes the final connection to the rear wheel. The transmission itself runs in a “stacked” configuration that reduces the length of the gearbox, and the factory uses Andrews gears -- a name associated with quality drivetrain components.
At the top end, this engine and tranny will get the ride up over 165 mph, way faster than most of us need to go and definitely enough to add stupidfast to the categories this bike qualifies for.
