Too bad it would lose on Biker Build-off to a less ingenius design with a brighter/flashier paint scheme. :eh:

I know that's right. I love the simplicity and style of Exile Choppers.

[p0opstlnksal0t]

how much hp that thing have? i say 500+

[TxVrod]

Not to mention that if it's rev'd, the torque would flop it on its side. It's just a looker.

I saw one he built which had the cables hidden in the bars and clutch motion was made with the turn of the left grip. Tooooo cool!!

[jetcycles]

What i would give to be on one episode of build or bust. Anyone need a left nut? LOL Exile bikes only come in one color. . .Black!!! Since we have some chopper fans in the house, check out www.suckerpunchsally.com I like old skool bobbers and choppers the most.

[TxVrod]

Those are NICE! I just can't dig the looks of ape hangers. They're ghey.

[jetcycles]

turn key bikes starting around 14K, i can swing that. and im not much of an apehanger fan myself. I like the old bobbers and drag bars better.

Very innovative guy.

This bike was also his one-time departure of all black.. lol

[TxVrod]

Yup, I think that was the one from BBO, right?

[ArturoC]

Yep!

[ArturoC]

Except it says that it has a foot-clutch? I remember the twist-grip clutch too.. I *thought* it was on this bike. :dontknow:

[TxVrod]

FOOT clutch, hand shift. That's right... I remember thinking there was no way I could get used to that.

[TxVrod]

I remember an all flat-black rig he build with more drag-like bars with integrated clutch.

[ArturoC]

twist clutch!

The radial engine chopper was at this show, Legend of the motorcycle. KTM GPs to Cyclone board trackers to Crocker bobbers to that radial bike.

And Russ mitchell is no inovator, hes a capitolizer. Hes a great dude, realy nice guy, met him at the ROT last year, but he hasnt done anything new or special, just made it widly available. He took a traditionalist bike and wipped it up with some nifty euro trends and we got exile. Jesse Rooke, Hank Young, Mat Hotch, Shinya Kimura, these guys are inovating, making changes.

[tbone16]

Just to steal a little more thunder, heres a zero, samurai style low slung knuck. http://www.dropshots.com/photos/74631/20060508/155315.jpg

[tbone16]

He hasnt done anything that is new, he just knows how to run his business. He marketed the shit out of his brake sproter and his internal clutch ( that might be his desighn), he makes a good product, he runs a good businesss and hes a greatguy. sorry, but the fat bob front tire look that you guys like so much has been around a helluva lot longer than exile. Alot of his headlight deisghns come from street fighters.

Hence the label of 'innovator'. Although, i'm still trying to figure out what a sproter is.. lol

Yes, we know. :nod: It's nice that someone is willing to put it out there, instead of just copying the latest trends.


Relax. :keke:

[BoostJunkie]

wow, that is some customizing right there...
mad props

[tbone16]

Sproter is a sprocket that doubles as a brake rotor.
