Chopper Chopper description

1980 Yamaha xs650 custom chopper. This is an original, and you won't find another like it! It runs great, and needs nothing. It’s been recently serviced. New title/ current registration. Private owner. Many aftermarket/custom made parts by Scott Gordon Engineering, Hugh's Hand built, Panic Cycles, MikesSX and more. Original miles on engine before chop job were almost 9k (and I do possess the original speedo). I've put about another 1k miles freeway/surface street, since. Everything on it has been either rebuilt/cleaned/flushed or changed at least three times in this last year (so yes, we worked very hard to make this thing perfect). This beauty has been re-jetted and fine tuned. It’s mechanically as sound as it gets- save for small oil seepage on the left side cylinder (maybe ½ teaspoon a week). Besides that, it sounds throaty and loud. And is amazing to both see, and ride.

The thing that makes me most proud of this bike is the way that it performs. I manage a custom/vintage motorcycle repair shop in Los Angeles, called Atlantis Motor. We see a lot of chopper/ bobber/ custom bikes purchased via eBay/Craigslist; that are in very poor to mediocre running condition. Quite often, it looked like a gem in the pictures with the fancy paint job/ polished cases and wrapped exhaust, but didn’t run for fuck! Rest assured; this bike has been meticulously gone over, again and again; and is in optimum running/ riding condition.

Paul Teutul Sr. from OCC, once again finds himself in the spotlight, this time it’s for building the worlds first totally green custom motorcycle that was commissioned by Siemens.  Some features of the bike include: a clutch-less transmission, 27-horsepower engine and a top speed of 100 mph.  You can plug the bike into a standard 110-volt plug, takes 5 hours to fully charge and has a 60 mile range on a full charge. The Siemens Smart Chopper will go on tour this year to help promote green technology and will be auctioned off for charity at some point next year.

2010 Honda Fury: New Honda Chopper Motorcycle?

Sun, 30 Nov 2008

UPDATE (May 19): Official 2010 Honda Fury Pricing UPDATE (Feb 27): The Honda Fury Review is finally here!!! Some may baulk at Honda’s description of the Fury as “radical.” Sure it’s not mind-blowing in the way a $60K custom can be, but it’s worth noting that not even Harley-Davidson has produced a bike with a rake angle so stretched or a wheelbase as long. So let’s admit that, for the normally staid Honda, the Fury is radical.
