Vengeance Motorcycles announced today the introduction
of a new chopper model dubbed the "Black Widow". This
motorcycle is an extension of their already popular line of bikes
which have become known in the industry to be the "best of the
best" in terms of the components on the bikes and fit and finish
of the final product.
The Black Widow is designed for the rider that wants all of the
advantages of owning a Vengeance motorcycle but is unable to fit the
other Vengeance choppers into their budget. With an MSRP of $24,995.00
the Black Widow is the most value conscience bike in the Vengeance
line. While the price is lower, the Black Widow includes many of the
same quality components as the rest of the Vengeance line.
"We listened to our dealers and what we heard is customers wanted
Vengeance quality but didn't need all of the flash that is standard on
our other bikes." John G. McDonnell President and CEO of
Vengeance was quoted. "What we wanted to do is to maximize the
performance and reliability using the 'Best of the Best' that we have
become known for but to address some of the cosmetic issues which can
make our other bikes more expensive. What we have come up with is a
perfect blend between old-school looks and a modern drive train."
So what do you get for $25K, the list of components is impressive:
• Soft-style frame with a Stock Backbone length
• 40o Rake with a 6" Down-tube Stretch and 10" Over Front
End
• 21" Front Tire with 250 Series Low Profile Rear Tire
• S&S 113Ci Engine with a 6-Speed Transmission
• Front & Rear Brembo Brakes with full Floating Rotors
• Polished Billet Forward Controls
• 60-Spoke Chrome Wire Wheels
• Chrome Inner and Outer Primary Covers, Grips, Mirrors, Controls
The styling of the Black Widow evokes the old-school chopper updated
with modern performance products. The paint is "Any color you
want, as long as its Black" and the graphics included are limited
to three retro-cool designs on the side of the tank. The graphic
designs include:
• A spider web "Killers Elbow"
• A skull with bone flames "Lost Soul"
• An Aces and Eights card design "Dead Mans Hand"
The stance of the Black Widow is a classic chopper with a 40 degree
rake and a 10" over front end. The Widow carries an old school
peanut tank with 4.75 gallons capacity. But where the Black Widow
takes a departure from the norm is in its rear fender. At first glance
when you look at the Black Widow you think "hard-tail" the
reason why is the short drag style rear fender that sits less than an
inch off the tire. But when you look further and see this bike has a
full rear suspension. The visual trick is accomplished by mounting the
rear fender to the swing arm and making a seat with a fiberglass pan
so the fender can move without affecting the rider. The result is the
best of both worlds — radical hard-tail looks with a soft-style
ride.
Mr. McDonnell was quoted as saying. "Overall we feel the Black
Widow is an amazing value featuring top shelf components and the
quality of fit an finish that people have come to expect from
Vengeance."
