It's Tha Heist, a 250cc US bobber kit from the Cleveland Cycle Werks which moves into the Kikker 5150 market in the UK

Cleveland Cycle Werks 250cc Heist which is moving in where the Hardknock Kikker left off
according to some in the business, certainly worth a look (pic http://www.clevelandcyclewerks.com ) 
 For those of you at the BMF show this weekend, you will have seen the UK debut of the Cleveland Cycle Works bobber 'Tha Heist'.

It's a familiar format now, thanks to the pioneering work of the builders of the Hardknock Kikker 5150.

The latest little machine comes with a Chinese Lifan single cylinder motor, based on a Honda lump and built under licence then planted into an all US-built hardtail frame.

Why it's Kikker time


Good to see so many people falling in love with the Hardknock Kikker 5150. Hits on this site and my other blog (suzibking.blogspot.com) have gone through the roof over the past 24 hours.
I can only assume that's because Gaz and the lads from Workshop Chops in Nottingham were at the BMF Show in Peterborough this weekend.
Neat bike, good bunch of lads, see my Hardknock Kikker 5150 review, the first UK published road test of a 200cc Kikker by right clicking HERE. Or see the next post.

First UK test of Hardknock Kikker 5150 200cc

Forget everything you've read or thought, the Hardknock Kikker is a unique motorcycle that manages to encapsulate the tradition of US bobbers, but has its own style and offers a riding experience like no other.

Writing this has taken me a few weeks but I can tell by the number of hits this site is taking that there is a huge interest in the Kikker.

So here is the first 'road test' in the UK of the 200cc Hardknock Kikker 5150.
