As part of the burgeoning custom motorcycle scene, this machine is not just a ride; it’s a statement—crafted for those who want to turn heads while cruising down the boulevard or carving through winding roads.

The 2013 Headbanger Summertime doesn’t skimp on features, either. Equipped with dual HB Beringer 4-piston calipers and single discs at both the front and rear, stopping power is both reliable and responsive—critical for any cruiser. The telescopic front suspension ensures a smooth ride over uneven terrains, while the low seat height of 660 mm makes it accessible for riders of varying heights. Additionally, the motorcycle's eye-catching color options, such as "Purple Dream" and multicolored finishes, allow riders to express their unique personalities.
