Motorcycle specifications Curtiss Motorcycles2200 Warhawk 2018 Fire from the sky

It's a rebirth, and a novelty after 105 years of dormancy. Or rather, a genetic mutation to revive an emblematic name from the early 20th century.
Introducing the Warhawk, the first Curtiss since the demise of the American brand. More precisely, this motorcycle inaugurates the manufacturer's new era, which is none other than the Confederate brand having changed its name and taken on the patronymic of one of its pre-war figures (1st).

As expected, the machine is spectacular. Confederate had accustomed us to creations of a different calibre, of a different level from mass-produced and/or hand-built motorcycles.
Raw, violent and extreme, the design is in the tradition of the Combat Bomber and Combat Fighter. This is only logical when you discover that this Warhawk is in fact a Curtiss re-badged FA-13 Combat Bomber. Subtle differences give it a more personal identity, with a gray color for all metal parts, an exhaust system with under-seat tailpipes, an even more minimalist seat, and a stick rear rim.

Ahead of Curtiss, Confederate also announced that its products would become electric. Clearly, that's not going to happen any time soon. After all, the Warhawk is powered by a gasoline-fueled big block. Huge, powerful, august, the twin is a high-caliber S&S. At 2163 cm3, it easily outclasses any Harley-Davidson or Indian mill. In terms of power, it's a grizzly, with blows of the order of 22.8 mkg! Power here reaches 150 hp... at the rear wheel. As you can see, the twin-cylinder engine is just waiting to rip your arms off after you've smashed them. And don't forget to give your neck a severe workout - the manufacturer claims a top speed of 265kmh. Still, it's a far cry from the P51 Combat Fighter's 200.

The bike's skeleton remains a surprising and fascinating creation. The frame is impressive, with fuel and air filter boxes fitted with portholes. The machined Fior-type fork is sublime, and any lover of fine parts will drool over the Beringer brakes, carbon wheels, and other sculpted elements.the Fior fork in machined parts is sublime, and any lover of fine parts will drool over the Beringer brakes, the carbon wheels, the elements cut from the mass, the glass revealing the lower engine gears, the abundance of aluminum, and the very exclusive side of this execution.

Exclusive, that's the word. Only 35 examples of this Curtiss Warhawk will be built. Fortune highly recommended, as the machine will demand $105,000 from its suitors.
And where does its name come from? From the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter plane. It served mainly during the first half of the Second World War. And was one of the most mass-produced fighter aircraft in the USA.
