Pagani Zonda Chopper

Very interesting bike I cam across. This is a V-Twin chopper that is styled after the Pagani Zonda F. The bike was ordered by Horacio Pagani and sits in the Pagani factory showroom.

The first thing people will think when they see this is it is terrible. There is no similarities between a chopper and a Zonda. The Zonda is light, powerful, fast, and comfortable while a chopper is heavy, underpowered, slow, and very uncomfortable. But there are reasons to admire the bike, even if it isn't your cup of tea.

Both car and bike are an exhibition of craftsmanship, design, quality and fit & finish. It is all in the details.




In this first picture Horacio Pagani is sitting on the bike he ordered for the first time.


Several details in this photo. The front rim is just like the Zonda rim.
Compare to the Zonda F below.




Compare the rear rims of bike and car. The rear fender is shaped more like the Zonda
tail. It even sports a small wing. Notice the matching stickers near the back.


The chopper has a matching stitched leather seat. The lower part of the body is
exposed carbon while the top is silver. Just like the car pictured above.



The rear sports the same taillights as the car and (non-functional)
Pagani signature quad exhaust.




The front plate and headlights are very resemblant of the Zonda F.
Notice the lower lip, behind the front wheel. Very resemblant of the Zonda's nose.

Just in front of the windshield the Zonda sports this piece. This example is the
Zonda Absolute so it is all black. Normal F's have a silver Pagani plaque.




I also came across this other chopper. It is styled after the Zonda Cinque.
It is very similar in design to the Zonda F bike, but the paint matches the Cinque.


It sports the Cinque's roof scoop on the gas tank. The seat is now Alcantera, like the car.
The rims also now match the Cinque.



The swingarm has a 1 of 5 plaque on it just like the Cinque car.
I don't know if there is a planned run of 5 Cinque choppers just like the car.
