Confederate Certified Previously Owned Motorcycles

By Paul Crowe

Confederate Certified Previously Owned Hellcat

Confederate Motor Company has introduced a Certified Previously Owned Motorcycles program. According to the company, motorcycles traded in at Confederate are carefully examined by the factory technicians and after getting the seal of approval are offered for sale with a limited 90 day warranty. Although numerous high end auto companies have programs like this, it’s rare to see it in the motorcycle business. Suzuki recently announced the Suzuki Selectâ„¢ Certified Pre-owned Motorcycle Program which also offers used bikes and a 90 day warranty through certain dealerships. Some buyers feel better with a factory warranty of some type and these programs take a little of the guess work out of a motorcycle purchase.

The first bike offered by Confederate under this program is a 2004 F124 Hellcat. Since this bike has only 339 miles and looks brand new, you could be a Hellcat owner, too, and no one needs to know you didn’t pay full price.

With this program now out of the bag, it’s only a matter of time before more companies offer something similar. How can they avoid it? Looks like a good idea to me.

    If they are as wrought with problems, as the abandoned first-generation Confederate motorcycles (and there has been nothing to disprove this otherwise)—no thank you.

    Think “Factory Refurbished”.

    I’d buy a used Suzuki way before I’d ever consider a bike from Con-fed, their reputation precedes them.

    I think this is a very interesting idea. There are a lot of used motorcycles available, but the buyer has to try to figure out which ones are ok and which are not. Seems like a viable concept to me.

    sounds like a good idea for all brands, not just the confederate. id love to have one (conferate), but thats still alot of $$$ for a used motorcycle. they look tough though.

    I totally support this business practice of factory re-certification and warranty, when offered and 100% supported by the right company, and it should be adopted by all manufacturers. However, when offered by the wrong company, it’s not worth the paper it’s written on, (if it’s written out for you at all).

    My personal feeling is that until you know who you are dealing with, “Let the Buyer Beware” should be heard louder than “90-day warranty”.

    For me personally, I’d feel safer buying a Confederate on EBAY and certifying it myself. But that’s just my opinion, being a Confederate owner.

    Good service comes from good people, and we now have the best team we have ever had. We are making progress everyday, adding new and improved capabilities. We’ve always done our best taking care of Confederate owners, but it’s always been on a case by case basis. That will all change once our service site is up with parts, tips and how-to’s.

    Confederate bikes are extremely overbuilt, so rarely does anything break. It’s farely easy for us to honor a 90-day warranty on a previously-owned bike, especially after we’ve gone over it.
