Built around Confederate's prototype - concept model motorcycle platform, the 2008 Confederate Renovatio Project pairs a 1686 cc (102.9 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 135 HP (98.5 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80.1 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Renovatio Project measures 154.2 kg (340 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.88 HP/kg (1.14 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 762 mm (30 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,524 mm (60 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Confederate archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2007 to 2008, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
