ARCO - 3 Distinctly different models/different frames
Bird - I consider the Ducks and Falcons to be choppers, just more common
Bonanza - 3 models, same frame
Cat - Duster & Hustler - same frames
Charger - by Central Cycle
Comette
Fox
Barris
Heald VT2

Lil Butch
Lil Indian - 2 distinctly different frames

Almost forgot - there's a Rupp, I believe it was the Rascal that says "Chopper" right on the owner's manual, but doesn't really look like a chopper...

3. Manco Starts and Stripes
4. Barris

I have none of the 5. :doah: My Dad has a very nice Bonanza CR400 chopper and my good friend has the Manco, but I can't get him to let go of it. :cursing:

No the Rupp Chopper was caled a Rupp "Chopper" They were the same bike but they named them different.. there was 3 names... Banchi, Rascal, and Chopper.. I had a service dealears book that had a flier and parts list and stuff for the Rupp Chopper... and yes, they look nothing like a chopper. :doah: All those bikes were a kit.

My ez-rider is not a chopper in the style of the bonanzas, or the grasshopper (the frame is being repaired where some :censure: cut it, why I dont know) but it is cool! More of a bobber type mini! I did build a chopper with my son though! Here they are......
