Bill Rucker's
Assassin Trike
When Bill Rucker had the opportunity to participate in the 2007 Easyriders Centerfold Tour, he decided to combine some of the Assassin’s original design queues – the American Muscle, pro-street style motorcycle that broke industry records with its innovation, lines and performance – with the new design of a Trike. Bill was also looking for a bike to ride to Sturgis. It had to be a Trike and it had to be this Assassin Trike – a mix of hot rod, dragster and American Muscle in one machine.
The Design
"I wanted to design a trike with a tight rear end," said Bill Rucker. "The rear end is truly innovative because of the swing arm and deep dish wheels. I didn't want it to be so wide. Instead, it is compact and undeniably clean."
The Performance
The customized Assassin Trike showcases a ground-shaking, high performance 124 cu.in. motor, carbon fiber body and Superform® aluminum gas tank.
