Australian motorcycle manufacturer shipping to USA and Europe.
Notable for using non-Japanese parts and maintaining a strong old-school attitude of freedom and individuality to motorcycles. Their bikes are appealing to Harley-Davidson fans, even to the point of being able to swap parts.
The LC250 Spyder first shipped in June 2008.
What happens when you merge the best of Australian, USA, and Chinese motorcycle technology in a custom format? The Spyder! An "entry" 250cc chopper that has all the attitude of a Harley-Davidson.
Described as "designed from the ground up as the most innovative retro 250 custom full size production chopper ever created". While being learner-legal, this bike is as California-old-school as you'd hope for, emphasising freedom, self-expression, and passion. Interestingly, there are no Japanese components. The manufacturer took a philosophical design decision that means if you want a break from the Japanese bikes you've found your bike. The layout is clean, with plenty of scope for tinkering on it yourself.
Hunter provides a range of custom options, such as dual seats (extra footpegs and sissy bar), padded solo seat, free flow exhaust system, and wicked flamed graphics. And many aftermarket Harley-Davidson accessories go right on the Spyder.
The manufacturer claims over 200 units sold in their 1st year since June 2008, with 23+ dealers around Australia and shippig to USA and Europe. MSRP starts at around AU$6.5k plus ORC.
Some previous USA models were air-cooled, but all new models are liquid-cooled these days.
