RE: what is a Chopper
A chopper, IMHO, is a stock bike that's been chopped (frame modified, stretched, welded, etc...) The photos on the posts after yours are merely customs. A true chop, again, IMHO, is one that is done to a stock model....

RE: what is a Chopper
Achopper is a bike that handles like crap. A bike that takes all of your focus while riding it.Corners like a toilet and does panic stops like a Winnebago motor home. The payoff for all of this is people look at you and say WOW! a Chopper.........or ,What a Idiot!

RE: what is a Chopper
The "original" chopper was any motorcycle (almost all of em were HDs) that was altered or stripped down from their stock configuration.....then that term grew into much more radically customized ride.
