Overview

Introducing the 2009 Flyrite Choppers Scorcher, a custom-cruiser that embodies the spirit of American motorcycling with its unique blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance. Priced at $18,999, this bike is designed for those who appreciate individuality and craftsmanship. Flyrite Choppers has made a name for itself in the custom motorcycle market, and the Scorcher is a testament to their dedication to creating machines that not only look good but also provide an exhilarating ride. With its rigid frame and striking design, the Scorcher stands out in a sea of factory bikes, making it an appealing choice for riders who want to make a statement. At the heart of the Scorcher is a powerful V2, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 1573.25 ccm (96.00 cubic inches), delivering robust torque and thrilling acceleration. This engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, allowing for smooth power delivery across various speeds. The electronic single fire ignition system ensures efficient combustion, while the carburettor fuel system provides that classic, raw feel that many enthusiasts crave. The Scorcher’s riding characteristics are enhanced by its stock Springer front suspension and a rake of 39.0°, offering a responsive and engaging ride that feels connected to the road. Whether cruising through city streets or embarking on long highway journeys, the Scorcher's blend of power and handling delivers an unforgettable experience. The 2009 Flyrite Choppers Scorcher is packed with features that enhance both its performance and rider comfort. The rigid frame not only contributes to its sleek profile but also provides a solid and stable ride. Braking duties are handled by a combination of single disc brakes—FRC 4-piston at the front and FRC 2-piston at the rear—offering reliable stopping power. The bike's low seat height of 610 mm (24.0 inches) ensures that it is accessible to a wide range of riders, while the 8.70-litre (2.30 gallons) fuel tank provides ample range for those longer journeys. An electric starter adds convenience, making it easy to get on the road with minimal fuss, while the S and S engine design further enhances its legendary performance pedigree. **

Pros

  • Unique Custom Design: The Scorcher’s eye-catching aesthetics sets it apart from standard cruisers, appealing to riders who value individualism.
  • Robust Engine Performance: The powerful 96.00 cubic inch V2 engine delivers impressive torque and acceleration, making for an exhilarating riding experience.

Cons

  • Rigid Frame Ride Quality: The rigid frame may lead to a harsher ride on rough roads, which could be uncomfortable for some riders.
