I'm not a rider of motorcycles, but this sure looks industrial strength badass and seems somewhat like RED's ways of doing things:

Yea, Confederate bikes are AWESOME. Seen a few of these and they are really works of art.

Noah, you're exactly right. Matt Chambers, the guy in the video, is a true maverick. Their bikes are legitimate works of art. Amazing to see, even better to hear, and out of this world to ride.
My crew and I spend two days shooting this video in their Birmingham, Alabama headquarters. All shot on a RED One with Superspeeds. We've got hours of great footage, to say the least...

Sorry, but a company named "Confederate" with a logo of guy looking like he is about to whip somebody... not wise.
This is probably not exactly what they were after, but never the less not too bright.

Yep the design on the bikes is quite interesting.

That looks like a guy moving really quickly. And the word Confederate goes back way further than the CSA.

They ARE a lot like Red, except their bikes retail for about $110 grand, which is about 5 times more than a nice Ducati, so.... if they sold their awesome rides for like 10 grand, then I'd fully agree they're like Red :)
But yes, from a mantra/ philosophy and design standpoint, very Red-like
