The Viper Diamondback is Back in 2010
November 27, 2009

When the phrase “American Motorcycles” comes up, most people instantly think Harley Davidson. And that’s with good reason. Harley is the undisputed king of heavy cruisers and the largest of America’s motorcycle manufacturers.

There are also dozens of smaller American motorcycle companies that put out some exciting motorcycles. These companies are tiny compared to Harley Davidson but many of them have steadily growing customer bases.

One of the small up-and-comers is Viper Motorcycle Company. As a division on Viper Powersports, the motorcycle division has made some stunning bikes since 2002 including the Mambo, Diablo, and Viper Touring Bike.

In 2010 Viper Motorcycles will be re-launching it’s most popular bike, the Diamondback. Make no mistake, the Diamondback and other Viper motorcycles are not for casual motorcycle enthusiasts. These bikes are specifically designed for affluent bikers with a taste for the exotic and the money to pay for it. The 2009 Diamondback retails for about $30,000.

The new Diamondback has some great features that justify its $30,000 plus price tag.

• Carbon Fiber Body Panels: Carbon Fiber is tougher and more resistant than the normal plastic body moldings found on most other bikes. Carbon fiber is also extremely light contributing to the Diamondback’s low overall weight.

• Custom Paint: Nothing adds to a bike’s curb appeal more than a unique paint job. The Diamondback leaves the factory with paint schemes that stop traffic.

• Huge 152 cu Engine: Describes as the baddest OEM v-twin chopper motor on the market, the Diamondback creates massive horsepower, torque, and speed.

• Huge 260 Rear Tire: The Diamondback comes with one of the most massive tires you can fit on a motorcycle. This huge tires helps rocket the Diamondback down the highway.

• Adjustable Foot Controls: This unique feature helps the Diamondback fit every rider.

• Engine Vibration Dampening System:  This proprietary system makes the Diamondback a smooth riding motorcycle.

With style, performance, and creature comforts, the Diamondback is one bad machine. Is it the baddest v-twin chopper on the market? That will be determined next year as buyers consider their options. With its high price tag and limited dealer network, the Diamondback could be the baddest v-twin chopper that very few people buy.
