Viper Motorcycles, which calls itself a manufacturer of "Super Cruiser motorcycles with cutting edge technology for the affluent enthusiast," has unveiled two 2007 models, which it says will be produced early in the second quarter of 2006. Although no firm prices have been set, if you want one, you will need to be affluent to the tune $28,000 to $35,000, depending on engine and paint choices. The company offers three engine displacements for its powerplants: 115, 128 or 152 cubic inches (or approximately 1900, 2100 or 2500cc). The company's web site also shows a third model, the Viper Dragon designed by customizer Donnie Smith.
The 2007 models shown by Viper Motorcycles are the Diablo and the Diamondback. No spex for either bike were released. The Diablo is an existing model, but the Diamondback is new to the company's line up. Both appear to feature the same frame design. although different billet triple clamp styles grip inverted Marzocchi adjustable cartridge fork legs, with the fork legs apparently raked out more on the Diamond back. The 260mm rear tire of earlier years is apparently carruied forward on both bike. Both bikes use the same style "Proprietary Billet Aluminum" 45-degree air-cooled V-twins, and both use six-speed transmissions that put the belt final drive on the right side of the bike.
