American Motorcycle Review
We at American Motorcycle Review live, breathe, and work motorcycles.  It's what we do.  With the advent of TV shows such as 'American Chopper', 'Biker Build Off', and 'Build or Bust', the chopper has emerged from the shady alleyways of biker bars to mainstream America. 
Along with the exposure and popularity of choppers comes new demands for motorcycles and choppers for the public to buy.

2006 American Ironhorse Chopper
Manufacturers of choppers and custom bikes have popped up all over the country.  Apparently everyone that watches 'American Chopper' believes that they have the skills to build a chopper on their own, and then sell them for high dollar amounts.  We've all seen them, the "franken-chopper" at A&W on Friday night. 
What we have done, and are currently working to accomplish, is to provide a resource for persons looking to purchase a custom motorcycle or chopper.  We have started with some of the basics, the mass production companies that manufacture more than a 100 motorcycles a year. 
Companies such as American Ironhorse and Big Dog Motorcycles produce quality motorcycles at affordable prices.  With a diversity of models and styles both American Ironhorse and Big Dog Motorcycles can meet most of the needs and wants of the average motorcycle enthusiast.  Since their bikes are semi-custom, you can add in some upgrades or non-factory pipes that change the profile of the bike making it truly unique for just a few dollars.
Complete custom motorcycles are a different animal.  These choppers are hand crafted from the ground up and for all intents and purposes are one-of-a-kind motorcycles.  Since these motorcycles are unique and completely custom, they usually command high dollar prices.   Choppers like these, or ones seen on TV, can reach dollar amounts well above 100K. 
Eventually, we will be bringing reviews of custom motorcycle and chopper builders from around the country.  As well find builders and get some information on the motorcycles they build we will work to provide honest reviews of their motorcycles.
If you are a custom motorcycle builder or sell choppers, and would like to be on our links page, please contact us with your link information and we will gladly trade links with you. If you have a motorcycle that you would like to have listed on our page, contact us with information about your chopper and we will get in touch with you to see about getting the motorcycle reviewed.

Choppers Reviewed
ALL NEW 2006 K-9 Chopper from Big Dog Motorcycles
This chopper is right off the assembly line.  The K-9 Chopper is just down right awesome.  300MM Rear tire on a softail frame!  The 117 S&S Polished motor is nasty, but throw in the Baker Balanced Drive and you'll be blown away by the combination of power and handling.  Oh, don't forget the 39 degree rake on the frame, 12" overstock forks, and Baker 6 Speed Transmission. 		k-9 chopper
2006 Ridgeback Chopper from Big Dog Motorcycles
The 2006 Ridgeback by Big Dog Motorcycles is an excellent example of old school style and muscle.  The Ridgeback features a phat 300MM rear tire, supported by a rigid frame.  The 37 degree rake frame gives enough stretch to make this a true chopper, but doesn't take away from handling like other stretched choppers.  		ridgeback chopper
2006 Chopper by Big Dog Motorcycles
Big Dog has refined the chopper with it's latest redesign of the Big Dog Chopper.  The A-Frame swing arm makes the ride smooth as silk and the 37 degree rake frame shows off the bikes muscle.  An S&S 117 Polished motor comes standard and gives plenty of power to this smooth riding chopper.		 2006 Chopper by Big Dog Motorcycles
10th Anniversary Edition 2006 Texas Chopper
This bike is hot! A perfect combination of power, ride-ability, and aesthetics! The custom motorcycle comes complete with a 124 S&S Polished Motor, Right Side Drive and Six Speed Transmission. A custom colored paint scheme designed by American Ironhorse to reflect their image of the chopper, diamond cut cylinder heads, and a chrome frame. 		texas chopper
2006 LSC Chopper from American Ironhorse
The 2006 American Ironhorse LSC is perhaps one of the best tributes to a forgotten era. American Ironhorse has incorporated a rigid frame into this design. Combine that with an S&S Power plant and you have one mean machine. Resting on a 280 rear tire isn't too shabby either. The shotgun hard-tail frame uses a 4" Top Tube and 8" Downtube stretch to achieve that old-school chopper look.		 2006 lsc chopper
Swift Motorcycles Bar Chopper
The Bar Chopper is by far one of the toughest looking choppers on the market today.  The 2" Tubing on the frame gives this bike it's unique look while providing added strength to the bike itself.  Standard is a 113 S&S Motor with Baker 6 Speed Transmission. The Bar Chopper is available in both Rigid and Softail style frames.		 swift bar chopper
Wild West Dragoon Chopper
Wild West Motorcycles has raised the bar on chopper design with the Dragoon Chopper.  Forget the past, look to the future!  Wild West has certainly accomplished their goal of bringing motorcycle design into the future.		 wild west dragoon chopper
