I just got done doing a study review for a possible new American made motorcyle company; Breedlove... They are feeling out the market for a customize built chopper that will house a newly designed engine specifically for the bike. The motor will be a V-8 with either a 350 or 420 hp rating. The artists rendition of the bike didn't look bad at all and the motor is supposebly thinner than the Boss Hoss car type V-8's. Breedlove will be showing the new bike at this coming Sturgis gathering, price tag somewhere around the low to mid 30g's... Just thought I'd share with ya all. |

There's already a company, V8 Choppers, selling them. They were at this years Myrtle Beach rally. Looked and sounded great. I thought they looked a lot better than the Boss Hog. This is a picture from their web site, http://www.v8choppers.com/
More photos at the site under photo gallery and bikes for sale.
I also love the specs for max speed: Unknown.

| Pretty scary looking, but great custom work though. If I had more dollars than sense, I'd probably buy one.....just for the conversation value! | |

| I agree, the radiator seems to detract from the overall look. Other than that, it's a cool bike! | |

| The last thing the motorcycle industry needs is another CHOPPER company. I'm sick to death of custom choppers and I can't hardly stand to look in a bike mag anymore because they all look the same.
And as far as I'm concerned, cramming a big ass ugly motor in there just makes it worse.
For something new and different, lets see more bobber makers, or even better a hotrod bagger shop.
KlockWerks custom cycles started customizing baggers for the owners Dad and they sold so fast that he kept having to make more for his dad. Now a big part of their business is custom baggers. | |

| ya know one of those would be really sexxy if they would stuff one of those old little Ford 260 V-8s down it it. Half as much metal and just as much go. | |

| IMO, Where do you draw the line on horsepower on a motorcycle? You're applying all that power to 1 wheel! Great that you can get er' going that fast, that quickly, but now examine that stopping power...uhhhh, looks to be pretty standard scooter-type brakes. I guess you know where I'm going. Mass-vs-speed-vs-stopping distance. I'm done talking. | |
