    Neiman Marcus' 190mph Christmas "Limited-Edition Fighter Motorcycle"



    With the economy as good as it is, better get on this quick, they only have 45!



    N.M. Christmas Book
    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.

    Even if the bike was capable of it (which I doubt), I cant imagine trying to hold on at 190 with no fairing. I know I usually back off at 110 - 120 on the Tuono because of wind

    I know what you mean... the triple gets real buckish between 100 and 120, but above that it settles back down (amazing what you can do out in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming )... I think it has more to do with body position that anything. That being said, even if the triple could do 190, I wouldn't be on it!

    Looks like you don't have to bother finding the sweet spot on that seat. Race rubber in the rear would throw rocks at your back for sure. What about that fork, or is it a fork?

    Umm... I'd rather put my money into research for genetically engineering miniature African animals. But until I win the lotto, I'll just stick to making payments on my current bike.

    Now that's just fucking retarded. Who would waste 110 grand on that thing?
