    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.

    V8 Choppers

    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!

    Ya Gotta Be A Power-speed Freak. Those Things Are Amazing Work! To Bad They Cant Find A Better Design For That Big Radiator In The Front.

    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.
