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.

Kikker at the BMF

Here is a picture from the Kikker 5150's UK debut at the BMF Show in Peterborough last month (May 2009). Workshop Chops took along four assembled machines as the company launched its dealership in the UK. It is the only importer of the little bobber which guarantees to get it on the road legally.

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.
