[1] Hardbikes is pleased to announce the introduction of its RC 200, an easy-on-the-pocketbook chopper with looks, value, and power to burn. Designed as an introductory custom motorcycle, its components include parts from Weld Wheels, Hawg Halters, and Tech Starters, along with a Torian exhaust pipe by D&D Performance, Primo beltdrives, and a Rivera clutch for a base price of $22,500.

The base unit comes with an old-school single-downtube rigid frame, 4-inch backbone stretch, 6-inch downtube stretch, and 38 degrees of rake. A brilliant 96-inch S&S engine with IST ignition transfers power to an LSD five-speed tranny that smokes the 200mm meat in the back. The chopper’s retro design signifies a combination of ’60s looks and 21st-century technology, providing a ride that not only looks good but also turns, stops, and accelerates like a cruiser.

Hardbikes buyers build their own bike by logging on to the Hardbikes website and selecting parts from a huge list in a program called the Design Wizard. After the design is complete, owners then sit down with their local dealer/designer to be *** for the bike according to their physical dimensions and riding style.
