I saw some really good looking bikes , but is it a good company , or do the bikes get broken and fu*cked after a while, Harley- Davidson is known to be a good bikes company, is big bear the same or even close, or is it like that Honda and Suzuki and all other fake companies. if not what is a good chopper- style company ?

It seems they are out of business as of Dec 2011. cyrilhuzeblog.com/ 2011/ 12/ 11/ big-bear-choppers-out-of-business-update/ They are (were?) over priced under ridden bikes only suitable for riding short show off rides. I would go with one of the (fake?) companies like Honda or Suzuki, Kawasaki or Yamaha that have been known to be dependable for decades.

Their choppers had problems where the frame would snap at the neck. Probably find something on youtube about it. Honestly I can't recommend a "chopper style " company, they are slapped together junk produced to make a fast buck during the whole american chopper/ motorcycle mania craze. America has since moved onto storage auctions and pawn shops. Honda makes the Fury. I guess that's a chopper. I agree with the other poster, get a harley. Used ones are more affordable than ever.

No, they were not good. Choppers in general are not good motorcycles. Too limiting. Respectfully, if you want a Harley-Davidson, then by all means buy a Harley. Personally, I recommend buying a bike for traveling. No better way to see the country than from the seat of a motorcycle. Good Luck

Get a Harley or a Kawasaki Vulcan. Stay away from big bear and any other custom, I make bikes to look at not ride, company.
