The Exclusive P120 Fighter - Combat Edition Motorcycle by Confederate
By Twisted Sifter on Sunday, August 16, 2009 filed under ART & DESIGN TECH & GADGETS.
The latest model from America’s highest-profile luxury motorcycle brand will surely command attention wherever it’s spotted. With a limited production run of 120, owners of Confederate’s P120 Combat Edition Fighter should enjoy the exclusivity that accompanies an undoubtedly ultra-expensive machine.
Confederate describes the P120 below with short. Abrupt. Sentences:
The Fighter clarifies opaqueness and nullifies hype with straight-forward true to concept certitude. At the source is a classic right triangle. Proportion is classically derived. Scale is middle way. Bearing exudes structural permanence. Human integration deploys yang energy, vitality, and power in the most simple, pure and direct form. Geometry is optimized for the medium and/or long disciplined journey of sensory heightened motion. Torque to weight is maximized. Engine, suspension and ergonomic luxury and ease of use is optimized. Materials utilization is the finest. Individual piece and component specification is highest and best.
Craft preparation and specification is uncompromised. The aesthetic is fresh, industrial, sculptural, holistic and honest. The saddle of the Fighter is your place for those outings which require extended time, geography, meditation and distance. Personal liberation will result!

August 28th, 2009 at 5:27 pmHahah you are beyond correct on that observation. This is my favourite line in the descript: Human integration deploys yang energy, vitality, and power in the most simple, pure and direct form
But in all honesty, without Yang energy this bike would be souless lol

August 30th, 2010 at 10:38 pmWow! this are great luxuries if ever you can avail it. I just have some problems with the motorcycle, isn't it hard to control? for those who wanted to have those, one problem may arise, you might even see its spare parts online, unlike my corolla where I found my parts just by googling it. hehehe.
