I have a Honda DVD about this bike, its actually very very nice. It got the VTX1300 motor....very slick.

Cycle World and Motorcyclist both have write ups on this in their current issues...

Honda really did a great job capturing the 'essense' without the bullshit. Hats off to them!

[KillBill]

I like it. Very similar to the Victory look

[schleppy]

They did a great job considering they are a huge manufacturer, and a have a lot of rules/guidelines to stick too.

Well done \H/!

yamaha kicks honda ass

Saw this bike at the IMS show, it was rather slick looking. However, it does remind me of a conversation I had back in school when working on a project. Another classmate and I argued if a big name manufacturer producing a chopper model kind of diluted the essence of what a chopper is supposed to be about- hacking apart a stock bike to make a custom/unique one. Considering how far off course 'choppers' are today, it doesn't seem like a slight at all. But for anyone seriously into choppers...why would you buy one off the assembly line like this? Doesn't sort of defeat the purpose? ::rambling over::

[DucDave]

Of course....you're right!

However...CHOICE...is what makes this such a great freeking time to live. If I were inclined to ride something like this I'd be more likely to buy one of these than an OC work. Or any of the other plethera of the ilk. I would rather have something I know will work and that I can have serviced readily.

Clearly I'm not an 'organic' chopper 'type'. If I were I'd do it myself. N'est ce pas?

One word.."RELIABILITY". Can't see spending $30k on something that falls apart going from here to there.

rc51 i think.

redneck makes a frame for a rc51 to turn it into a crazt looking chopper

Close. Bill had it right. Underneath it all that is a Honda VTR1000F. the rims are stock and it has one of the most recognizable engines to come out of japan. i think the fact that i brought it up should have been a dead give away.
