The Athena, Big Bear Choppers Discovery Channel® Biker Build-Off winning design, will be available to the public and BBC dealers around September. The bike will be offered unassembled or turnkey, and fully government compliant with a stamped VIN number.

This BBO bike was a tribute to Athena Aspiotes, daughter of BBC employee Mike "The Greek" Aspiotes, who was killed in an accident in 2005. BBC named, built and painted her portrait on the tank to honor her life.

The Athena design is made from the mold of the successful Sled model with an Alsop twist and will be offered as a chopper or a pro street version as the premier model out of BBC's twelve model fleet. BBC believes this new motorcycle model will up the bar in the American other V-twin production market, providing customers with the ultimate production motorcycle at a reasonable price. The Athena will have required deviations from the BBO bike to satisfy government regulations such as a front brake, legal exhaust, air cleaner, different hand controls, wheels, etc. You do get a choice of springer or hydraulic forks, five different PM wheel sets, BBC's exclusive 100" S&S Smooth engine, Baker RSD 6-speed and a host of other top-line parts standard with options galore, depending on your wallet. MSRP is $27,900 for the unassembled kit to $35,400 for a turnkey with a cool paint scheme. Be sure to check out BBC's website at www.bigbearchoppers.com or call 909-878-4340.
