yes it is

its got big fat rear wheel and skinny front one...and it pops wheelies dead easy.

and look at the length of the seat....potential to support plenty of muscle
should the need arise or not as the case maybe

Just don't lean on the bars. Even as a skinny kid, I went through two by jumping and wheelie-ing. Crash the front wheel down, bars bend forward, nose get's splattered in the dirt.

Never did learn not to use the BMX jumps that the local kids built up by the cut.

REAL Choppers have tall fron wheels and low wide rear wheels

the good old 5.10 x 16" and 21 x 3.5" variety - great in the wet

On topic - never had a 4 banger, mostly parallel and "V" twins, and one triple (did not like it "Buzzy") .........tough bike though

Far too many cylinders for me.

I find one perfectly adequate...

I bet that's more fun than the TS150 I had.

It had a certain charm but I don't think it would qualify as a "muscle bike"!
