I've worked on some hi-end technical models and I'm very impressed with this build! :rockon:

Nice Find Sniff! :thumbup:

I used to race RC boats, built lots of wood and fiberglass models as a kid but this is INSANE! Couple year back was flying RC Chop Chop. Kept wrecking it! Backed up and did Styrofoam planes. Cake! You mix 5 min epoxy and glue em back together, flying in 20 minutes!

I would have ZERO patience for that level of detail. Unless in prison or something! :rolleyes:

I had no reason to think it wasn't a real bike. Impressive. Now I wish that was a real bike. I'd love to see that on the rd.

It was modeled after a real motorcycle. If you have an extra $135,000 sitting around you can have one sitting in your garage after the consultation/build process.

R135 Wraith Combat | Confederate Motorcycles

Edit: Well, apparently the model was for the B91 model which was older and significantly cheaper, but the r135 is very similar.

ModelerGP2013/No.3

Make no mistake, its not a Harley. It may have a modified engine from a Harley, but its not one.

The lead engineer for Confederate also helped design this:

That's cool that he made that out of paper and wood, but the bike itself is extremely ugly. In my opinion anyways. Doesn't look like it would do anything very well except be another slot to fill on jay lenos garage.


Now the one sweater dude posted looks pretty sharp.

Jay leno, billy Joel, and or Brian Johnson .


:) or Sammy Hagar? Wait let me do some more quote fudging.


Classical style bike? Looks nothing like one besides the seat.

I'm a sucker for moving foward in looks, not backwards.
