Conclusion
The development of the chopper motorcycles was well received within the rider’s market, increasing the aesthetic appearance and even design of the current motorcycle. Even though the motorcycle is acknowledged to be modified, there are current custom developments of these motorcycles, which have become a brand on their own.
