Chopper have never been a "fad"... well built choppers are always cool.
If you're asking about easter egg colored motorcycles with huge rear tires and HUGE raked front ends that make them handle like ****, yea they were a fad.
Being spring, they're getting a dust off and people are putting them up for sale hoping the economy is better for toys

Very hard to sell without giving them away...many of them have big inch S&S motors and baker trans...I would buy one of those if the price was right to rob the drive train, and sell the rolling chassis for whatever I could get.
The ones with rev-tech motors and trans are worth whatever they are paying for scrap iron.

'01 Big Dog Mastiff here. Cost new $37,000. Last year sold with 13,000 miles for $5,500. Had to spend $3,000 to buy a trailer to haul it back from probably 20 electrical breakdowns a year, so figure about $10,000 in repairs over the years......good times! Fortunately I got married so I always had a more expensive, bigger nightmare I could point out as my dumbest investment. If the chopper movement comes back I would appreciate it if they pass me by this time around. My new scheme is to lose a lot of money on a new boat and a Nigerian investment I'm working on.

I have no love for the big front wheel looking abortions but at least they can be converted back to something desirable. I never cared for any of the factory "choppers" but I do like old school home-built choppers and bobbers.
