Want the same mean and nasty look of the Merc Rigid, but still need your kidneys? Then the Merc Softail is the ride for you. Thanks to the rear suspension, this mad Merc allows you to still make a bold statement on the road while experiencing a much smoother ride than it’s hard brother. The exaggerated extended springer is liberally responsible for making this chopper very impressive in the parking lots and pounding the pavements. You, and everybody else will be surprised how well this bike takes corners and the low speed maneuvering without taking your feet of the pegs for balance. With her radius dual downtube, a bold 48 degree neck rake, timeless spoke wheels, swooping swingarm, patented contour fuel tank and the long reaching springer frontend, this vintage inspired chopper flashes a new school flavor. The Merc’s style and elegance leaves you and everybody else breathless, its power and control on long straights and in bends will leave you yearning for more. You may want to check your pulse now.
“The BBC Merc was so smooth and stable on the road that there were a couple of times we had to look down at the engine to see if it was still running. We had several riders ranging in height from 5-feet 8-inches to 6-feet 2-inches tall taking the BBC Merc through the picturesque mountain roads of Big Bear that day, and each one of us was as comfortable on the bike as the next.” said by Toph Bocchiaro, Street Chopper Magazine.
