What? You&#8217;ve never heard of them? Neither had I, but they will soon be on sale in Glenwood Springs at Aspen Valley Harley-Davidson. So let&#8217;s find out a little bit about this outfit.<\/p>\n<p>First off, the <a href=\"http:\/\/vipermotorcycle.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Viper Motorcycle Company<\/a> is not a new company. I&#8217;m guessing that fans of expensive custom bikes have been aware of their existence for some time. Call me ignorant. As near as I can tell, they released their first models in 2008. The company is based in Minnesota and built a production plant in Alabama. The first model, the 152-cubic-inch Diamondback, just rolled off the assembly line. And, as you can see from that promo above, they&#8217;re claiming it to be the fastest production V-twin super cruiser in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, it&#8217;s a nice looking bike. I&#8217;ll definitely give them that. Since they&#8217;re not ringing on my phone to offer me a test ride I&#8217;ll direct you to this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vipermotorcycle.com\/pdfs\/Barnett2011.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ride report<\/a> in case you want to learn more. And to get the lowdown on features, go <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vipermotorcycle.com\/diamondback.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> and then click on the &#8220;Features&#8221; tab.<\/p>\n<p>But anyway, the actual news today is, as I said at the beginning, that they&#8217;ve taken on Aspen Valley Harley-Davidson as a dealer. The dealership&#8217;s co-owner, Mike Lehman, is also co-owner of MBL Motorsports in Palm Beach, FL, and these are the first two &#8220;gold&#8221; dealerships that Viper has announced. What that &#8220;gold&#8221; refers to I don&#8217;t know, but they also have what they call &#8220;platinum&#8221; dealers.<\/p>\n<p>And now you know where you can go buy one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent from National Motorcycle Examiner<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/motorcycles-in-national\/hoka-hey-finishers-did-get-money\" target=\"_blank\">Hoka Hey finishers did get money<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Biker Quote for Today<\/h3>\n<p>I need MORE CHROME!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interested in picking up a Viper motorcycle?
