nowhere near street legal. no lights, no fenders, no turn signals. no side stand.
this is what they call "the hook" It gets you interested in the product, then when it finally does hit the streets, it's nothing like the prototype.

So essentially you’ll be riding an engine and not much else.
What else do you need?

I wish Confederate would produce automobiles based on this minimalist-tech design philosophy. I wish the pentagan would produce weapons and tactics based on it too.

That thing is bizarre, and very uncomfortable, looking! Surely, there has to be a more comfortable seat than that. Males especially would find that very uncomfortable to ride!

GM based v-twin engine

Do they mean GM as in General Motors? How is it based on GM - do they use GM production internals in their own crankcase?

The minimalist design

"Minimalist" is an understatement.

They could at least have included a decent seat.

One good bump in the road and I fear that the family jewels would take a severe beating. lol

I learned to ride on a my Uncle's Indian Chief in 1956 (13 years old); had several Hondas when I stationed in Japan, Hawaii and Nam.

Gave up riding in late 60's, but wouldn't mind starting up again, but with a nice cruising "Hog" as opposed to something like this.

Guess I must be getting old. lol

Confederate describe the concept as “Minimal; using the fewest pieces, moving parts and systems to accomplish her dynamic mission. She is uncompromised, light weight, possesses enormous torque, is capable of extreme performance, yet has maximum real world streetable active safety. She is graceful in motion, yet potentially brutal.”

morn'g stainlessbanner : that description almost describes one of my old girl friends . (lmao)
