Confederate B120 Wraith
The Confederate B120 Wraith brought a distinctive structural and visual approach to the American V-twin motorcycle. Contemporary manufacturer material announced a ceiling of 250 B-series Wraiths. That number is a planned series scope, not a verified final completed total or a count of every experimental Wraith built during development.

Design and engineering
The B120 combines a large V-twin with a composite-led backbone structure and an exposed girder-style front assembly. The engine and chassis layout distinguish it from a conventional cruiser with unusual bodywork. The development history includes earlier prototypes and changing engine arrangements, making the specification and date of a photographed machine especially important.
Production and edition scope
The 250-bike statement belongs to the announced B-series production programme. It should not be read as proof that 250 were ultimately assembled. Earlier experimental machines and the later 21-bike Combat Wraith represent different scopes. The inventory’s 2007 reference follows the B120 production period, while later release and registration dates can describe the same model.
Identifying an authentic example
Check the frame and engine identity against original factory documents, dated photographs and ownership records. Establish whether the motorcycle is a customer B120, a development machine or a later reconstruction. Composite repairs and replacement structural parts should be documented, with specialist inspection where their history is unclear.
Collector significance
The B120’s collector interest lies in an unusual integration of structure, materials and a large American twin. Its development story is part of that appeal, but prototype history should not be transferred to an unidentified customer bike. A well-supported individual specification and provenance record is more informative than treating the announced ceiling as an audited production tally.
