We rarely get to see a chopper with the Bentley badge on it, so when the word was out that such a beauty was displayed at a small, neighborhood car meet, we eagerly started looking for pictures of the intriguing motorcycle. God was good to us and we came across the shots of this motorcycle, which’s clear source of inspiration is one of Great Britain’s most luxurious and exclusive car manufacturer of all times: Bentley.
Powered by a fully chromed V-twin motor that looks more like a jewel rather than the source of all fun and excitement on a chopper, the bike also features chromed spoked wheels and a buttery-soft hide seat, surely the smoothest one we’ve seen so far.
Overall, this chopper looks fairly simple, but the Bentley Cypress Green paintjob and the Flying B on the gas tank definitely make it unique.
Dani Pedrosa obtained a well-deserved victory at Laguna Seca this weekend, after more than a year away from the highest position of the podium.

Christian Audigier has teamed up with Rever Corsa to create a special edition Ducati Monster 1100. The bike’s choice is anything but random. Given the fact that the fashion designer worked at a Lamborghini Murcielago and a Ferrari F430 Calavera in the past, the bike simply had to be made in Italy and what better choice than a new, big and red Monster model on which the dragon-tiger and gold paint to be applied.
The few but stylish touches of magic radically enhance the already consecrated Monster looks and show how unique style always comes at a cost. In this case, we’re talking about a $55,000 price tag for the limited edition Italian piece of motoring.
