Big Bear Choppers?

[Moley]

Not sure if I should publish this here or in Virtual Rally but thought I'd start here!

Anyone seen the latest Big Bear design - the Athena

Personally I think it's pretty cool for something you could buy in a box and assemble yourself







Also comes in a "pro-street" version:





Starting price for the kits is $12K - Obviously you'd have to spend some serious additional money on the paint to look like these two "show" bikes but still pretty impressive

Surely £2.59 isnt serious money for a proper paint job! - http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...oppingukmar-21

I'm not really in to long , wide ass, high tank kit bikes that all look the same. But respects to Big Bear unlike a lot of their competition, who fit cheaper Korean components, they use quality, S&S motors, & Baker transmissions, & all for roughly the same price.

seen the athena gettin built on the biker build off, built for one the guys who works for him whos daughter had died, good looking bike, but not ma cup o tea, bu widnae say no if it ended up on ma doorstop one morning

my personal feeling is that this style is about to date (if it has not done so already) faster than a penny-farthing. Just my unwanted 2p

Even i could reach the floor with both feet on those bikes,dunno about the handlebars tho

Not keen on the front end of the blue one, but the red version is a cracker.
Beautiful wheels, but oh what a soaking you'd get with the cutaway rear mudguard

I know the chop has been going for so so long now and they would be a nightmare to ride but have always hankered on building one.
Saw this a couple of years back and sort of grew on me
