I guess it depends on how you look at it. This chopper was built from the frame that was on the bike that was destroyed in the final scene of the movie. There were two Choppers built for the movie. One was stolen along with both of the Billy bikes and never recovered. Part of this auction bike was in the movie, but most of it is a reproduction. I saw it at the AMA museum and a couple of bike shows, it's a cool ride that would look good in my barn.
