In comparing these two styles of motorcycles I’m not talking about functionality here, I’m not talking about which would be best for local rides versus cross-country riding or which would be best for senior riders. No, what I’m talking about here is which one is more likely to be considered a form of rolling art and have higher ‘Wow’ factor.
Motorcycles – Choppers vs Baggers:
This motorcycle video is about one rider’s opinion of the difference between choppers and baggers. Naturally, this is very subjective and each type of bike has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
Keeping in mind that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this video is really a subjective opinion about the looks, styling and perceived beauty of each type of bike.
So, after watching this video, what do you think? How about leaving an opinion in the comments section below?
Don’t really have a definitive opinion about choppers versus baggers . . . That’s okay leave your comment about what you think of the motorcycle gals in the video.
The first choppers were built in America, and were an outgrowth of the milder customization trend that had originated after WW2 when returning soldiers and others began modifying cars and motorcycles, frequently to improve performance in top-speed races on dry lake beds in Southern California and similar desolate spaces such as unused airstrips in other parts of the country, or on the street for street racing. These early modified motorcycles were known as “bobbers”, and there are many common features between bobbers and choppers, with choppers differentiated being more radically modified, and especially by having the frame tubes and geometry modified (“chopped” by welding) to make the bike longer.
The earliest choppers tended to be based on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, at first making use of the Flathead, Knucklehead and Panhead engines – many of which could be found in surplus military and police motorcycles bought cheaply at auction. As new engines became available they were soon utilized in choppers. British bikes, particularly Triumphs, were also a popular motor for choppers early on. As the Japanese manufacturers began offering larger engines in the late 1960s these motors were also quickly put to use by chopper builders. The Honda 750-4 was the most widely used Japanese motor for chopper builders early on. Choppers have been created using almost every available engine, but builders have always shown a preference for older air cooled designs. It is rare to see a chopper with a radiator.
Over time the choppers became more and more about achieving a certain look, rather than being primarily performance oriented modifications. The modifications that had had their origin in hotrodding evolved into an artistic and aesthetic direction. By the mid 1970s stock Japanese and European performance motorcycles would outperform most bobbers and choppers.
I love my big dog pitbull and its huge 300 rear tire! Anywhere I go people crowd to it from the store to bike nights and no matter how many gay baggers are around mine draws the most attention and biggest crowd. Great video!
I know what you did – you save the best for last, that lady in the red dress is really something, would like to see her riding on a bike in that dress.
Wow – nice choppers! Oh, the gals also look GREAT!
