Rucker Performance Names New American Muscle Bike The Predator

March 18, 2005 -- Rucker Performance, a leading custom manufacturer of high performance, highly styled and custom motorcycles utilized the online magazine, www.bikernet.com to assist in naming their newest design in the arsenal of Rucker Performance motorcycles.



"Rucker Performance has been working on a new category of motorcycle, which we have termed American Muscle," explained Bill Rucker, President of Rucker Performance. "We tapped industry-visionary Keith Ball from bikernet.com to produce the name-the-bike promotion with his 270,000 monthly readers to assist us in naming our new custom motorcycle."



Bikernet.com was created by Ball and has the largest online and offline circulation in the motorcycle magazine industry. Every visitor to the bikernet.com site over a two-week period was invited to name the custom motorcycle for a chance to win cash and a Rucker Performance apparel package.



After hundreds of entries, the team at Rucker Performance selected "Predator" from the entry submitted by Bob Tucker. Mr. Tucker will win cash and a Rucker apparel package. Grady Phillips also suggested Predator and will win some Rucker apparel.



The Predator is built in the spirit of the raw adrenaline of drag racing. It sports a 300-rear tire, 130HP naturally aspirated engine, right-side 6-speed transmission, custom zoomie headers and drop seat riding position. This American Muscle bike is designed with 4.5" ground clearance, 49 degree of rake, 19-inch seat height, custom handlebars and Ness Controls.



The runner-up winner was the name Reaper, suggested by Kirk James and Curtis Baker. They will also win Rucker apparel.



Rucker Performance received a phenomenal response from bikernet.com's readers, like this suggestion for Marilyn Bragg , "Just look at her lines!" "She is sleek, strong, and has an hourglass figure when her profile is looked upon from above. Her handlebars remind me of flowing red hair. The powerful S&S 124 motor reminds me of the delicate but well planned and finely tuned power of a female assassin. She is beauty, strength, unbridled passion and power all rolled into one strong and beautiful frame."



"We could not have said it better," said Erin Rucker, Operations Manager, of Rucker Performance. "The unbelievably enthusiastic response from readers demonstrates this bike's ability to impress the biker community. We feel the name Predator fits well with the rest of the line of bikes we have created to date."



"I would like to extend my thanks to all the contestants that participated," said Erin Rucker. "We appreciate the time and effort that was put in to the contest."
