  • Reputedly one of 150 limited-edition "Captain America" Choppers
  • A faithful tribute to possibly the most famous silver-screen motorcycle ever
  • An extremely low-mileage machine which runs and rides beautifully

Honouring the 30th anniversary of Easy Rider, the Panzer Motorcycle Works of Canyon City, Colorado, manufactured a limited run of tributes to the “Captain America” chopper which, along with Peter Fonda (Wyatt), Dennis Hopper (Billy) and Billy’s own chopper, was one of the film’s stars. Panzer’s creation made subtle use of modern mechanical components, including a 90ci (1,500cc) Neo-Pan engine built by Accurate Engineering to resemble a 1960s Harley-Davidson Panhead, plus a five-speed RevTech gearbox, belt-drive, disc brakes and electric starting. The engine used primarily S&S components, including the crankcase, crankshaft, rods, cylinders and pistons, plus STD heads. The frame and most of the cycle parts came from well-known frame-builder Paughco, which also assembled the bikes.

From an estimated production of between 50 and 150 Captains, this Panzer dates from 2004 and was imported into Britain in 2006. Always treated as a collector’s piece, it has covered very few miles, with the current odometer reading at around 2,300, though it appears to have been reset after 2,700 miles in 2009. Consequently, it is deemed by the vendor to be “very good” in all areas. Despite its low mileage, it has been MOTed regularly and carries an MOT with no advisories until May, 2026. It is sold with the V5C, assorted MOTs and a matching Captain America helmet.
