Overview

Big Bear Choppers Venom Chopper

Along side its ProStreet sibling, the Venom Chopper has been the flagship model for Big Bear Choppers for years, and there’s many reasons for that. This motorcycle boasts an American chopper attitude with simple, flowing lines. The power in this chopper is in the artistic, seamless design, nothing under or over stated. Her 6” stretched single radius downtube, new style tear drop fuel tank, lower than standard seat height and pull back handlebars gives the Venom a traditional chopper stance at a high comfort level. All new for the ‘08 Venom Series is the right-side drive, which promotes balanced ergonomics. She also carries the patented arched Venom swingarm that we are famous for, adding to the Venom’s distinct look and character. Not needing to keep up with the rear tire size race, the 250mm rear tire is big enough to accomplish the look and feel of this chopper. The Venom Chopper is a motorcycle you can handle... at a price you can handle.

“How do you test a bike for durability and performance? How ‘bout a 1,400 mile race from Cali to the Badlands against Performance Machine’s Roland Sands?.” said by Eric Ellis, featuring a Venom ProStreet in Hot Bike Magazine. July 2005.
