Curtiss Warhawk (2018)

Expensive $ 105,000, limited to 36 pieces

The Warhawk is the first motorcycle from the newly formed Curtiss Motorcycle Company. It is limited to a number of 36 copies and has a proud price.

M.on does not have to like the look of the Curtiss Warhawk. Nevertheless, it remains spectacular. The design could already look familiar to one or the other motorcycle enthusiast. It is visually and technically similar to the Confederate FA-13 Combat Bomber presented last year in many respects. That is not surprising. Finally, last year Confederate announced that it would change its company name to Curtiss Motorcycle Company. The parallels between the newly introduced Curtiss Warhawk and the Confederate FA-13 Combat Bomber are correspondingly large.

Nevertheless, the announcement of the new Curtiss Warhawk is a little surprising. After all, Curtiss, or rather Confederate at the time, announced at the launch of the FA-13 Combat Bomber that he wanted to concentrate on the development of electric motorcycles in the future under a new company name. Now the newly founded manufacturer has obviously changed its mind.
