Red Horse
Mustang Chopper 250
At a $22,995 (just say $23,000) starting price I really would expect more from the design in this bike. Nothing seems to flow on this motorcycle and all the parts seem to sit on the frame and not as a part of the motorcycle.
Starting from the back. The rear fender really needs to hug the fat 250 rear tire a lot more. I’ve seen less clearance on dirt bikes. The over sized rear turn signals look like a pair of eyes looking back at you and break up any chance of a smooth design they may have tried to achieve.
The swing arm looks rather plain and stock and in this time of recessed parts, they have left the axle and retaining nut sticking out. Making it chrome does not really help and only shows off the flaw even more.
The tank does not seem to match the lines of the bike and sits far to high on the frame’s back bone. The front forks although longer than I like do give the bike a nice stance. But when I look at the front end I really have to search through the mess of cables and brake lines to find the front forks and triple trees. Less is more folks, clean it up.
The front fender looks like a stock Harley fender and screams to be replaced. Everything from the rearview mirrors to the bland lower legs looks like after market parts and nothing seems to give this bike a Red Horse "appearance." Why would a company want to stick their name on a product unless it looks like it’s special and unique.
I could continue to point out flaws but like I said, less is more. I know this company has the skills to make a better bike, I’d just like to seem them step up to the plate and do it.
