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.

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.

Since writing this piece back in March, I've ridden the first 200cc Kikker in the UK. See my full review by right clicking HERE


Just a quick word on the Kikker 5150. There's a US mag, The Horse, which genuinely steers away from all that is negative about the wannabe Harley boys and focuses on the essence of the chop.

Yes I know this is a site for the CB450DX, but you need to see this too.
As I plug away sanding the new tank before the flat tracker paintjob on the DX, my head has been turned over the past few weeks.
