Secondly, the show has produced some great work, with the Chopper style bike one of the most infamous designs in motorcycling history. Thankfully, the majority of designs that have featured on American Chopper have been respectful, to say the least, but alas, there are always a few that miss the boat with regards to style.
Here are 10 amazing bikes from American Chopper and 10 that didn't quite hit the mark. In , a certain blonde-haired businessman—and now one of the most powerful men in the world—appeared on American Chopper: Senior vs Junior. As expected, The Donald asked for something outrageous as well as expensive, with Paul Senior and Paul Junior somewhat managing to deliver.
That's right, the final product was ridiculous, vain, and incredibly over-the-top, much like the person who demanded it. I mean, what would you expect from a man with a gold elevator and toilet?
To make matters worse, the chopper had gold handlebars, gold wheels, and a large "T" on the pedal, just in case anybody forgot who it belonged to. The guys at American Chopper often like to bite off more than they can chew, and often take on larger than life projects. In , Orange County Choppers decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the B-2 stealth bomber plane, a plane which first lifted off the ground in The Chopper was given the name, "The Spirit of Innovation" with the date of its first flight written on the tail of the bike.
Furthermore, the motorcycles gas tank was inspired by the B-2's cockpit, as well as the wheels. However, although this sounds great, the end result wasn't, with the overall project seeming rather underwhelming. American Chopper has made a number of amazing and rather interesting motorcycles over the last few years and never fails to surprise their fans. In season two, the team was given an assignment that was somewhat a little boring, as well as dull. Don't worry, Paul Senior and Paul Junior had no idea either and were dumbstruck with what to do with the motorcycle.
In the end, the motorcycle was a disaster, with father and son seemingly unimpressed with the assignment and the final result. For some reason, the guys at Orange County Choppers love to incorporate their love of sports with their love of bikes.
Sadly, the combination doesn't quite work and instead looks extremely embarrassing, or worse, tacky. The NHL bike was no exception and has gone down in history as one of the worst bikes to have come out of American Chopper. Furthermore, the bike was the cause of one of the worst rows ever on the show, with the argument even turning into a meme. Sadly, as a result of the arguments, the motorcycle suffered. Yes, the NHL motorcycle was a failure. In season six, the guys at American Chopper were asked to build a bike that had been inspired by the Abu Dhabi police force.
Yes, seriously. The team did their best with the assignment but didn't really manage to pull through. That's right, the chopper was painted in a bright red that imitated the color of the real-life Abu Dhabi police force. However, although it might have looked glamorous, the idea just didn't work and instead ended up looking rather cheap.
Furthermore, it was pretty clear that Paul Senior and Paul Junior were unimpressed with their brief, with the final result showing a lack of creativity or imagination.
Over the years, American Chopper has made some beauties with regards to their motorcycles. However, they also sometimes miss the mark with their designs. The famous Liberty Bike was one of such failures, with its all copper appearance somewhat of a disappointment.
The motorcycle was originally commissioned by the Gold Leaf Corporation, with the bike created to celebrate the celebration of Lady Liberty's th Anniversary. Much like the real Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bike was formed with copper and iron as well as many other features from the iconic tourist attraction. Sadly, it just didn't take off, with the end product deemed more of a failure.
Sports-themed motorcycles are not OK. Think about it. Firstly, only a select number of people are going to like them, and secondly, they're as tacky as anything. However, those at American Chopper didn't seem to care and decided to create an American Chopper Yankees bike. That's right, the bike was created in season two and came from the mind of Paul Junior, whose mother was a huge Yankees fan.
OCC will only build about bikes during the first year of production. OCC will also display some bikes from its personal collection. The bike uses one of Dixie Chopper's cc 32 horsepower 24 kW Generac lawn mower engines which, after modification, provides enough power to be suitable for a motorcycle engine.
