The Appeal
Good news! Old-school choppers are back - and the more outrageous they are, the better. Propelled to superstardom when the free-spirited Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper rode their excessively raked bikes through the American South in the 1969 film ‘Easy Rider’, the Chopper has been a symbol of counterculture for all those who consider themselves “born to be wild”.
Here we have a fantastic example which was built across the Atlantic in the United States - the spiritual home of the custom chopper. Now in the UK and yet to be registered, this bike offers an enticing opportunity to acquire your very own slice of classic Americana. Powered by Triumph’s legendary parallel twin in 750 cc form and built using an American-made frame, this very authentic build looks, sounds and rides exactly like choppers did in their heyday.
All that’s left to do, is “get your motor running” and “head out on the highway”...
