Parker Brothers Choppers takes the two-wheeler world to new heights

Curious but true, the vehicle you see in the main image of this post is as real as the video of it in operation that you can watch in the extended entry, although, to be honest, I’m not entirely sure that position is very comfortable for driving several hundred kilometres.

Specifically, we’re looking at a model that weighs around 215 kg and measures no less than 2 and a half metres long by 58.5 cm wide, which can undoubtedly pass for a wheeled bed. On the other hand, lying down on this vehicle with a gigantic tyre like this sports bike’s right in front of your face must be a marvel, especially when it comes to changing it

According to one of its creators, Jeff Halverson, each of these motorcycles is built on a steel frame with a body made of video fibre and a V-Twin engine taken specifically from a Suzuki TLR1000; surely there’s no shortage of power.

As for the braking system, the guys at Parker Brothers Choppers had to design a custom friction drum. As a curiosity, on a motorcycle as futuristic as this, it’s no surprise that an iPad has been fitted as the instrument display, where the rider can see the vital statistics of such a special bike in real time.

Now, this Parker Brothers Choppers project has left you so amazed that you’ve decided to get your hands on one of their latest bikes. I’ll just tell you that each one costs 55,000 dollars, or in other words, a little under 42,000 euros.
