Condition

This bike is stored in a centrally heated environment and is serviced annually regardless of mileage. It has only covered just 492 dry miles whilst running-in. so it is now ready to ride.  Comparing this bike side by side with any new bike in any showroom you would not see any difference in condition. this is essentially a brand new motorcycle

Handling

Many custom bikes are built for show than riding and some are so radical they cannot be ridden far at all. Proper Chopper bikes ride and handle beautifully. this bike is so perfectly balanced and it purrs along with awesome power. It will put many 'production' bikes to shame. and unlike some 2006 upwards production bikes there is no need to change your riding style when riding our bikes! With this bike there is:

No Primary clunk on start upNo excessive clunk engaging first gear No clunky shift changes No excessive backlash in the drivetrain
No 5th gear noise

The primary drive is silent in operation thanks to the enclosed BDL belt drive system. which of course means:

No Primary chain adjustment No Primary chain clatter No Primary oil to change

Custom Motorcycle Insurance - The hidden truth

Obtaining insurance for many custom built bikes can prove difficult and many times near impossible. more so if you build yourself or buy a Kit Bike. Therefore. some custom bike builders resort to 'modifying Donor Bikes' to get round the insurance issue. This simply means you may pay £20. 00. 00 upwards for a 'new' custom bike. but the V5 will show the Donor Bike details (usually a cheaper older bike). and guess what an insurance company would pay-out in the event of a claim? Yep. the trade price of the cheaper bike on the V5 and NOT the price you paid

Proper Chopper motorcycles are a UK recognized motorcycle and therefore any model purchased can be insured for its true declared value and insurance is easily obtained through a number of companies and comparison web sites. I will be happy to discuss this with you and help you get the best possible quote. You will be amazed how low premiums are. This particular bike - I renewed the insurance this year for just:

£140. 00 fully comprehensive - for the year
