Those folks who can’t be satisfied by the standard factory look of their bike naturally choose something different. The type of motorcycle they stick with is well-known. That’s a chopper.
Best Choppers for Beginners
We can define this type of motorcycle as a radically customized bike, which has not so much in common with its factory-made original. The chopper movement arose in the 1970s. It’s believed to be inspired by the classic movie “Easy Rider” (1969). The first chopper followers started “chopping” their motorcycles, removing the parts unnecessary from their point of view and adding new ones.

What we can say about the first heavily customized motorcycles. Well, you can hardly call any of those bikes the motorcycle of your dream. In the 1970s, the chopper followers made extremely clumsy bikes. A typical chopper of that time was extremely difficult to handle. Low-speed maneuvers of such a bike were hampered by its raked-out forks. Moreover, the chopper demonstrated a cranky ride on curvy roads. Snugging tight to the seat, the rear tire didn’t provide any suspension movement for the bike. To make things worse, we should add that the chopper was a hell for the rider’s shoulders due to the stretched handlebar position. Such a weird approach is quite common in high fashion when a style is superior to functionality and comfort.

Fortunately, today’s chopper motorcycle leaves that nightmare behind in many regards because modern engineering has successfully eliminated most of those downsides. If you are eager to own a bike of this specific type, we offer you to get familiar with a brief chopper motorcycle guide.

Yamaha Raider S
Best Choppers for Beginners
If you already have $14,790 at hand and you generally trust this well-known Japanese brand, you can consider buying the starter chopper Yamaha Raider S. With its powerful engine demonstrating 106 lb-ft of torque, you will feel confident on the highway. The front-disc brakes are another distinctive feature of this beginner chopper motorcycle.

Its weight of up to 719 pounds drops a hint that it’s overweight. However, you will feel it only if you try to lift your bike off the side stand. With its moderately sized tires and a low seat, this chopper motorcycle demonstrates pleasant low-speed maneuverability.

In general, it’s a well-balanced beginner chopper motorcycle. It’s no wonder that it’s so actively sold worldwide.

Harley-Davidson Softail Rocker C
Best Choppers for Beginners
It’s hard to overlook this chopper motorcycle. What makes him visually unique, is the use of a very high seat. So, when you sit on this bike, you have a feeling of sitting on the top of it, just like a bird on a branch. The relatively long wheelbase of this beginner chopper motorcycle doesn’t prevent you from making smooth turns.

There’s no need to complain about its V-twin 96-cubic-inch engine that transmits its power through the six-speed gearbox. The transmission of this chopper bike will pleasantly astonish you – all gears are shifted smoothly and easy. What’s more, you can monitor switched gears on the corresponding display.

For the starter bike, you are expected to pay nearly $20,000 or to be exact $19,499. However, as you see, it really makes sense.

Victory Vegas Jackpot
Best Choppers for Beginners
This chopper motorcycle worth $20,249 boasts such catchy visuals as tribal graphics and Tequila Gold coating. If you wish to feel yourself a rocket man, this bike is for you. The V-twin 1731-cc motor of this motorcycle enables you to reach 60 miles per hour for just 3,73 seconds.

The bike’s tires are wide enough so, you could dare to try sharper turns. On twisty roads, the motorcycle boasts great handling, which makes it a good choice for many riders.
