The mini-choppers are far more exciting IMO. NO, Really! Johny Pag (the US brand, not sure what name they sell under in other countries) has that 300cc chopper, which is a much cooler concept to me. Kind of like compact firearms in a way to put it in perspective.

The two Hi-Birds with 250 twins are cool bikes (we already have the chopper version in the US) and seem far more useful to me. Choppers are pose machines that people have been trying to make more original than the last guy's bike. Hell, the TV show American Chopper had to add in family fighting and yelling between the lazy dad, Paul, and his overworked sons just to add interest, and there is not much interest!! The finished bike might be original, but it still looks stupider than the last stupid one they designed!!

Harley has stayed away from the chopper market for the most part, and I think their V-Rod was a step in the right direction. I would love to see more bikes like this (arguably, Yamaha did the muscle bike thing first with the VMax, and I am sure there were bikes even before that, but you get my point ), but choppers are tired and boring and making spokeless wheels only adds slight interest to an already boring niche!

Yeh but, did you get any side covers for your bike yet ???
That's all that matters in the world today Culcune , is if "YOU" got any side covers .

As far as spokeless wheels , front wheel drives , all that other BULLSHIT , keep it at the EXPOS , it aint worth a crap on the street , or at the dealers , its pointless dribble just like ALL my posts .
What really bugs me is these new ideas poeple think they came up with when they have been done so many times over and over , and the people actually think they thought of them ???
Inovation is a good thing , but at least make it useful , rideable , and not done before . Keep it real, or do your homework before comming up with shit that's been done already . Read a freekin book man !!!
The nicest riding machines are the ones that actualy look like motorcycles from the 60's and 70's . Can't re-invent the wheel , you should have stopped when you created the World BEST ROAD HANDLER , the Norton Commando .

Blah blah blah , stick your spokeless wheels where the sun don't shine ...

Snortin kiss my ass Norton
