Harley chopper
 
Harley should add a real chopper to the lineup. I'm talking a serious long wheel base with the new 114 engine. I would buy one for sure and I think it would sell well.

If Honda can sell enough Furys to make them as long as they have a Harley chopper would surely be successful enough to make it worth while.

Thoughts?

That defeats the purpose of a chopper.
Built not bought.

I would have to disagree with you on that. Not everyone wants to build. Big Dog Choppers and others have filled this niche for a long time.

If you don't/can't build a chopper, you don't deserve one.

Those were factory kit bikes built in the chopped bike style.

Most choppers look pretty cool and no doubt most of us have day-dreamed about having one but how realistic are they for comfort, carrying anything, handling etc? Kind of the third bike I would have in the garage. Breakouts might be the closest Harley wants to be in this market. And Honda might sell a few Fury's at $10,000 but is anyone going to buy a $25,000 Harley chopper?

Off the shelf, store bought choppers. :icon_gunhead:


I have to admit, people probably would buy them. They do now from specialty companies.
That's the saddest part about it. There IS a market for off the shelf, store bought choppers. :icon_fryingpan:

Harley DID build a factory chopper. And it was a flop. No surprise there.............
They Called it the ROCKER!

Most people don't even know the history of the chopper.
They don't know where, why, or how they came about

To say "you want a store-bought one" is to say you dont know jack shet about them.
Ignorance and arrogance-----pretty much the same vain.
