The model to be unveiled, “Arabic 01”, is the only pre-production P120 Combat edition Fighter in existence and will be raced for setting a world speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats between August 30 and September 6 in the 2009 BUB Speed Trials.
The 1966cc massive engine of the Arabic 01 incorporated into a lightweight aluminium frame develops 145 ft/lbs of torque and 160 rear wheel horsepower. Only 25 of Confederate’s hand-built Arabic motorcycles will be delivered to their owners starting November 30, two units a month.
Well, owning the first in a limited series and a potential record holder will not be cheap, that’s for sure. The estimated retail cost of the production model is $75,000, therefore this one-off Fighter Combat is expected to fetch much more.
