Iron Horse Motorcycles

American Iron Horse Motorcycle Models and Values. In the off-season, occasionally I might pick up a bike and resell it after I fix it up. But I can'tell you how many people are confused about the models. Not only for the American Iron Horse, but also on a couple of the big dog models. Here you're looking at the Texas chopper, the flagship of the Iron Horse line. It's a soft tail swinging arm bike. Now you're looking at the Lone Star Chopper. It looks very similar, but guess what? If you look carefully, this is a rigid frame. So I've seen a n Different models. Now let's take a look at the third one. This is the legend model, American Iron Horse. This is a swinging arm, just The only really difference, and they use the same frame and the same engine. Same exhaust. What's the difference? The front end is two inches shorter on the front end, and the back tire is a 240 vs. a wider 280. Now here you can see the Texas chopper again. And the Texas chopper also has dual disc brakes in the front. And the legend only has a single disc brake. So you got to do your homework. But look, here'some of the models on the American Iron Horse in 07. And I highlighted where the confusion is. But look at this, the Texas chopper 14-480 on suggested retail at the time I made this. And here you can see the legend, 12-3. So about two grand difference. So not only are the values different, but usually the ride and handling is totally different. So if you're just getting into choppers, hey do your homework. Check it out before you just go by looks or what you see on eBay. Make sure You're going to be spending big bucks, you want a good ride, make sure it's what you're looking for. Decide on the model you want first, so you're not comparing apples to oranges. A Thanks.
