Big Bear Bagger

Look at this beast!  It’s not often that you see a chopper with hard bags, but who says it can’t be done.  Obviously Big Bear Choppers doesn’t have any problems goin’ there.  Here’s what they have to say about their creation:

This is an industry revolutionizing motorcycle, and we think you’ll agree. The G.T.X. (Grand Touring X-Wedge) is a stretched ProStreet mutant of a bagger type motorcycle that we consider a weekend getaway vehicle. One of the proprietary and patented characteristics of this bike is the position of the passenger sitting in front of the rear wheel. This seating position places more weight in the center of the vehicle to produce better handling and comfort for both the operator and passenger. Other key features include an additional auxiliary fuel tank located under the seat, totaling 5 gallons. A large capacity oil tank feeds the optional new efficient and powerful EFI X-Wedge engine from S&S. The large volume fiberglass storage bags are purposefully designed with the motorcycle, making the bags a central aspect of the overall vehicle design. Its innovative downtube dimensionally molded shroud not only completes the motorcycle’s front lines, but it also acts to hide the less desirable clutch cable. The G.T.X.’s wow factor comes from the seamless, flowing bodywork from end to end, stepping outside the traditional realms of motorcycle design and into the next generation of motorcycle design. Cool is cool. And cool will never die.

I’ll write a review as soon as they let me road test it.
