Best for: Built as a boutique American power-cruiser-sportbike hybrid, it exists for dramatic style, low-end torque punch, and boulevard-to-canyon thrills rather than outright track speed.
Built for: It has a raw, mechanical, sculptural presence with a big air-cooled V-twin thump and torque that peaks absurdly early for effortless roll-on power.
Not ideal for: This is not for riders seeking high-RPM screaming performance, long-distance touring comfort, passenger capability, or any off-road use.

The 2020 Confederate F-117 Fighter is a well-judged cruiser with plenty to like. The 1917cc engine produces 140 hp and 217 Nm, which suits the bike's character well. With a 749 mm seat and a 254 kg weight, it is best suited to relaxed, laid-back cruising, although it is not designed for sporty cornering. Worth a close look if it fits your needs.
