It's definitely unique!
Normally, when CMG staff read stuff like “The Fighter clarifies
opaqueness and nullifies hype with straight-forward true to concept
certitude” it’s pretty hard to hold back a serious retch.
Nevertheless, if there’s any manufacturer out there other than
Confederate that can claim to be true to concepts, we’d like to know
where it is.
There isn’t much simpler than any Confederate model, basically a huge
two-litre Harley-clone engine tied to the wheels with various bits of
monocoque high-tech weirdness made largely from titanium, aluminum, and
carbon fibre.

Would James Bond ride one of these?
Where the Wraith is built around circles, the new Fighter is built
around a right-angle triangle. You may not love it, but you’ve got to
notice it. As for stuff like, “the saddle of the Fighter is your place
for those outings which require extended time, geography, meditation
and distance,” well ... maybe the language comes with the design
thoughts.
The good people at Neiman Marcus (yes, the same odd-ball high-end
“department store” that specializes in ultra-expensive stuff every
Christmas) certainly are impressed, as they’re offering 45 Fighters in
a limited-edition version for a mere $110,000 U.S.
