As many of you know, a couple of weeks ago Schnuki and I drove down to Malters Switzerland to visit CCCP Choppers.

I interviewed Coni the owner and main builder and you can read about it here:

Sorry about the photo quality but I forgot my camera at the hotel so I had to make the photos from the video which is downloadable.

Nice one

Grayfeather.

his production numbers don't add up.he says he has 3 mech and one office employee and it takes 6-7 months to build a bike,and yet they buid 6 or 7 a year.

Hmmmmmmmm. Works on more than one bike at a time?

Hmmmmmmmm. Works on more than one bike at a time?yeah.if one guy is on each bike,then yeah i can see 6 a year.sorry.don't know what i was thinking :smackh had a blonde moment

Thanks for sharing the video Bert!! Awesome looking Sporty Choppers.

XLFORUM: How much does a custom bike from you normally cost?



Coni: Normally from 50,000 to 100,000 Swiss Francs ($45,000 - $85,000)



Geesh, is that $45000-$85000 US $ dollars? For that money stateside
you could buy 4 times the bike with half the money. :yikes

Those ammo cans fit well on those bikes. Very cool. It gives me ideas.

Dammit Bert,

Would you change that damn avatar...It freaks me out. :eek:

Look who is talking!!! :p

Bert, thanks a lot for the video and interview. Just love these choppers made by CCCP!!! :D :D :D
I missed Schnucki posing bikini clad on one of them ... ;) ;) ;)

Those prices are so ridiculous. Hey, if they can actually get people to spend it, more power to them! The people buying them on the other hand.... :frownthre

You are right...they are expensive but these are not build out-of -the-box choppers that you can buy in the back of some motorcycle magazine. Over 75% of the the bikes are fabricated by Coni and his crew. He is a custom bike builder, not a custom bike assembler.

I also would not spend so much on a motorcycle but you really have to see these bikes in person to appeciate them.

hey Bert, any chance of a 16x7 or 16 x 8 motorcycle wheel being a common build size over there, I would be interested in getting one shipped over, if you could point me in the right direction... it would be much appreciated...

Hey Bert.....Did you do a background check on this builder??????????????

CCCP?

Maybe we need to check on you.......Do you have any communist leanings? Mmmmm?

All those bikes look good, i just couldn't pay that much/nor let someone else to customize my sporty

They use car tires as the rear tire?? Has anybody done this? How does it ride?

Interesting to see what others do around the globe...:geek:geek:geek
You have guys like this, then Marcus Waltz in Germany....:banana:banana:banana

Thanks, Bert!

Walz Hardcore Cycles is less then 10 KM from my house.

Lots a nice custom bikes.

What you don't realize is that when puchasing parts he has to pay European Taxes on them. Don't know about Switzerland but, here in Italy thats 30%(probably not much different). If he's buying parts from the states he also has additional import fee's. It really adds up. Ya'll in the states think you have high taxes but, your total taxes paid is one of the lowest in the world!

P.S. Bert, you missed your calling, you should have been a producer/director. :laugh:laugh:laugh
