Choppers = A niche market in the tank.

I think it's too little too late.

The problem with Honda builing a chopper is that there is going to be a bunch of them. There's no indivualism to them.

Not my style of bike at all first off... Secondly a casual glance will reveal the quality differences very quickly.

I'll stick with the Real Deal thank you!
