— Originally, a motorcycle that has had all non-essential parts removed (or "chopped") to make it lighter and faster. Today, this name generally applies to custom built motorcycles that may have a rigid frame (no rear suspension), an extended fork, and a stretched or elongated appearance.


Having read that, what's your opinion of a chopper. Are you of the old school frame of mind or the new raked and streched style? Maybe you like both? They both certainly have their place.

11K for a custom bike is a great price no matter how you look at it.

I think if I had a chopper it would be old school. I love the look.

20K is a big nut, but there's alot to be said for buying a harley. It should retain it's value for a few years should you care to trade or sell it for something else.

Count me in for Old School, while I appreciate the creativity of the new customs , the whole point of a chopper when I was growin up was one that was done pretty much by the rider , and reflected him . Indian Larry is one of the few left with that flavor
