Not really my kind of bike to ride, but sure is nice to look at. Like the industrial styling. If only there was something in a cruiser with a reasonable pricetag.

Well Brian, while this older Confederate Hellcat model here may not have that "Industrial" styling you seem to like(and of which I still haven't completely ever warmed up to myself...I've always thought the newer Confederate motorcycles more as being rather "chunky" lookin' and less than aerodynamic lookin', which I have always preferred my vehicles to at least seem to be...but I digress), for about a quarter of the price of that X132 here, you COULD purchase THIS older Confederate Hellcat here!

And, as I was sayin', you could own a Confererate Motorcycle that was made back when those good ol' boys down there at Confederate Motorcycle STILL made motorcycles that kinda looked "aerodynatic", and were NOT just a somewhat "clunky" conglomeration of a bunch of VERY nicely machined and polished bits of billet aluminum all kinda pieced together.
(...though I DO have to admit the workmanship on that newer and "clunkier" version there suuuuuure does look first-rate, alright...but as you said, NOT 45 freakin' thou worth!!!)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

If I had an endless supply of money and way too much time on my hands, I'd still pass.

I don't like the bike but I do like the attention to detail. I love that clear timing cover. I would love one for one of my old Triumphs.Would be hard to do though since oil passes through that cover to feed the intermediate timing gear and also supports the outer end of that shaft that gear rides on.

Wasn't it Yamaha that once made a bike with no stop on the ratchet so that if you kicked once too many, it went back around to first gear?

Don't know if Yamaha ever had a rotary shift pattern bike Ed, but I'm pretty sure the short-lived Bridgestone motorcycle brand did.
