American Iron Magazine has named Brass Ball Bobbers & Choppers' custom-production 69 Chopper as the 2011 Official Bike of Daytona Bike Week.
Each of the past 16 years, the Daytona Beach Community Foundation holds a drawing, selling tickets for $50 apiece, for the Official Bike Week Motorcycle. The foundation keeps the odds of winning high by printing only 4,500 tickets.
"I selected the 69 Chopper based on an evaluation we did for the magazine at the 2010 Daytona Bike Week," Chris Maida, editor of American Iron Magazine, told online site Clutch & Crome. "We worked out creating a special high-performance model with a retro S&S Shovelhead-style engine combined with the first 69 Chopper softail."
