If you are looking to zoom around town but you want something with a little more edge than a Vespa. You may want to check the Kikker HARDKNOCK. Who knows, maybe someone will ask you to join their motorcycle gang.
The HARDKNOCK is a bobber in a traditional “old school” style featuring a springer front suspension, forward controls, jockey shift, electric start, solo seat, hydraulic disk brake, chrome plated TIG welded 4130 chrome-moly frame, and either a 49cc or 110cc 4-speed 4-stroke engine. It is significanty larger than our popular pocket bikes, sporting a 15″ rear wheel and an 18″ front. There is no plastic on the HARDKNOCK. It is comprised of numerous polished billet aluminum components and chrome plated alloy steel. It can be ordered in black primer or in one of our custom paint schemes.
Price starts at $1499.

[...] So, no one asked you to join their motorcycle gang, therefore you decided to start your own. You have picked the location, now it’s time for the ultimate decision ,which faucet to go with. That decision is easy, THE MFX CLASSIC. At a price of $700, you will need to increase membership fees. [...]

I will never buy another Kikker product again. Took more than 3 months to recieve my purchase with no updates on the status and no tracking number. The dealer could not even get an update from Kikker. Bad customer service, very bad. Save yourself the headache and get something else.
MSO is “courtesy” with this company…so if they don’t like you, good luck getting one, and good luck getting your bike registered. Bought my first hardknock more than 4 months ago…still no mso. I give up.

Don’t blame Kicker or the product? Blame it on the “Inexperienced Dealer.” He’s just a guy like you and me that fell in love with this Awsome looking bike. He most likely thought he could make some money selling these bikes. Cuz this product easily sells itself. I noticed you had nothing bad to say about the bike? So next time use a different dealer…
I have no affiliation with Kikker or Hard Knock.. Im just a guy with a kikker on his wishlist.
Sep 5, 2008 at 10:10 am
the bike is a f’ing toy…my kid laughs at it, and he’s 9…too many people still watching American Chopper and dreaming….
Sep 6, 2008 at 5:53 pm
This is a moped, and it is the coolest moped on the market, all these guys watching american chopper think that you got to spend big to have fun and ride a cool bike. I have one of these and they kick ass. it turns alot of heads and I got alot of laughs from my friends but the next thing they say is can I ride it, and I can let them with out sweating, and gets great gas mileage. I also have no affiliation with kicker, just a satisfied customer.
and it is a toy, just like the guys that buy the big expensive choppers you see on tv… come on you dont spend that kind of money because you are trying to save on gas it is all about having fun and turning heads but mainly about fun any real biker knows that, the rest are just fooling themselves.

I have owned several Harleys, custom Honda Goldwing and a Yamaha. The most fun I have is on a 50 cc scooter that I rent when I go to the Carribean on vacation. Size doesn’t matter, it’s attitude.
Dec 22, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I totally agree with you guys!
Also, don’t forget that most Executives that can afford to buy Harley’s are usually pass their prime, trying to re-live their youth, and can barely ride it(Due to the power and weight of those monster bikes). And soon the thrill of riding is gone cuz they’re too terrified to really tear up the road..
Jan 1, 2009 at 10:45 pm
more than a toy, the new 200cc is transportation and a show bike to owners, its become following, customizing and showing off these bikes without spending a fortune, check one out before you consider it a toy, they are the same size as the classic sportsters or hummers from back in the day, go to http://www.mickscustoms.com for the best service and lowest price.
Mar 13, 2009 at 1:07 pm
I have one of the 200cc HardKnocks and love it. I do agree that it depends on the dealer you choose. Not the bike itself if you have problems. I had to do a few mods to it, but I just wanted to make it more user friendly, not because the parts or bike were inferior. Great little bike for the money and definitely an attention getter. Perfect for scooting around town. When I want to travel, I have a car for that. So yes, I guess that does make it a toy. A fun one!

I want to soup up a 110 Kikker any ideas
May 5, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Best Bicycle on the market!!! Every child would love to have one!!! Wene my son turns 10 I will definantly get him one of those awesoeme bicycles..
May 5, 2009 at 4:44 pm

you must have a harley on payments, like everyone else. dont forget that motorcycles started as bicycles with motors added. a true motorcycle rider, rides for him or herself. not to ride a certain brand to impress everyone else. talking down someone elses design or choice of bike is childish and shows everyone who reads this who you really are.
May 5, 2009 at 5:21 pm
The bike is cool for what it is but the owner of the company blows the entire deal. Terrible sevice, terribe attitude and never has anything in stock to replace the cheap parts on these things.
May 5, 2009 at 5:37 pm
I understand what you’re saying Sam. Personally I’ve never dealt with the owner. But the bike is the issue here. There is no other bike on the market that “I” can make parts for and customize myself. Anyone can run down to the Harley shop and bolt on an accessory to “customize” their bike. If any of you do research on these Knocks, almost all of us have bypassed Kikker and did our own work. The Knock owners can attest to that. I love mine for cruising around and bringing to bike shows. That wasn’t and attack on you Sam. That went to Ryan and his remarks.
May 5, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Proven Fact:
People will stumble over 50 Harleys to see a Hardknock up close.
Seen it many times.
May 17, 2009 at 1:49 pm
im thirteen and ride a bobber 110 cc its not something to lagh at either it will do 62 stock(but thats redlineing it) but its rocks if you get it already asemblem at a dealer it much easer than goin thhrough the company
May 26, 2009 at 9:47 am
I decided to purchase a hardknock because I was sick of seeing over bloated motorcycles with old men riding them around like they were hardcore bikers on weekends. thinking they were actually cool on yet another stock motorcycle that looked like the other 500 at bike night. every yuppie wants the coolness of a harley but there isnt anything cool about a stock harley. this is as real as any motorcycle out there. maybe not as cool as your stock harley(LMAO) but none the less. I ride more than 99% of HD weekend warriors, and get 1000% more attention because “MY BIKE” is actually cool stock.
May 26, 2009 at 10:56 am
I have an 07…took forever to get the whole thing delivered. arrived with smashed headlight, never got the batterybox straps. assembly is not difficult, took an afternoon. new headlight caught on fire…taillight blew out on day 2…”oil tank” snapped off and banged around on the chain, lost one of its endcaps off a mountain…carb inhaled the aircleaner foam…gas tank started leaking at a weld. anything chrome rusted like it was under 3 feet of water…key start refuses to work… foot pegs roll and the o-rings on them fall off…Neutral is impossible to find and it will pop out of gear at any given moment. And yet Ive racked up several thousand miles on it…its the biggest POS Ive owned, the only chinese bike Ive had, and yet I do love the thing. it is just plain fun!
May 26, 2009 at 11:09 am
I took this from Baron Bob . Enjoy.
May 26, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I love bikes. All kinds. The Hard Knock is definitly different by todays standards. You actually get to build your own basket case, so-to-speak. The pride you gain from being able to think and even say “I BUILT MY BIKE” is worth any little set back you may or may not incure. I like Harleys…ok, some harleys, but none the less- if you want the mullet of motorcycles, get a harley by all means. If you want a hard ass stiff straight up with it’s own area code mo-hawk, then get a Kikker Hard Knock 5150. Hey, you can always turn it into a mullet when your feeling a lil too cool for the frat boys later.
May 26, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I own a 200cc Hardknock and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
FTW, Ride till the wheels fall off.
May 26, 2009 at 7:34 pm
I own a 2006 110 cc. it’s a collectors item among knockers. it’s loud as hell with the straight pipe, very quick and looks plain badass. there is nothing toy-like about them… hell most places won’t even let you even TRY to register it as a moped because of the speed and the sound of the exhaust.
plus, you get them as a kit. which you then have to turn around and build yourself… it becomes a part of who you are and there’s no turning back from that. plus, the owner… is a damn cool dude if you drop your douche attitude.
May 27, 2009 at 1:57 pm
What make you thing you need to buy a Knock form Kikker?
May 28, 2009 at 7:53 pm
Does anyone know if you can title and register a Hardknock in California? Let me know. Thanks
May 29, 2009 at 1:00 pm
(Does anyone know if you can title and register a Hardknock in California? Let me know. Thanks)
YES! You have to actually have one before you can do it.
May 29, 2009 at 10:34 pm
lots of them in cali, kikker is based in san fran
May 30, 2009 at 6:24 pm
Guys….I am considering a purchase of a used Knocker….Problem is the guy chucked his receipts thinking he would keep it and never registered it. Would I be pretty much SOL if I bought it and attempted to get the MSO myself?
Thanks,
Nick
May 30, 2009 at 11:46 pm
Nick.
This is a question best answered by the pros. Go to the kikker forum and post it. Someone will answer immediatly. Don’t be a stranger though. go ahead and become a member as you will be visiting often. These bikes are addictive. Knock on.
Jun 1, 2009 at 5:40 pm

Hundreds and thousands of mile logged so far. Yes very reliable MOTORS.
What state you this would help out a lot also?
Jun 3, 2009 at 3:09 am
California
srry i didnt metion that…
i keep reading things and reviews about broken parts on delivery and horrid custumer service. is this true?
and i was just wondering, Car insurance is required by california state law, does that apply to Motorcycles as well?
Jun 3, 2009 at 3:28 am
My customer service is First class as a aftermarket Specialist to all things that Knock. There are many dealer state wide as well. Pick one?
Yes you have to have insurance for your MC as well.Very cheap. Like $6to$10 per month on most policy’s.

It’s nice to see some of my Knock Nation bros on here defending the cause and spreading the gospel!!!
Jun 5, 2009 at 5:47 am
I’m proud to say I’m Knockin in Los Angeles! Had this bike on my wishlist for some time and finally made it come true. I’m riding on the streets of LA. Everyone loves this bike! I’ve seen many people stop their cars in the middle of the street, just to get a closer look at my bike. One guy turned his car around and chased me a few blocks just to find out where to buy one. DMV gave me a temporary permit to use until CHP inspects it. So I don’t have my plates yet. Other than the CHP inpsection requirement. I haven’t had any problems registering it as a Kit-Bike. I GOT MINE. GET YOURS AND LET’S RIDE…!
Jun 5, 2009 at 4:07 pm
Thats sick. Where did u get yours? its nice to know that someone else in Cali got it Street legal. how long have u had it for? any problems yet?
Jun 7, 2009 at 3:59 am
I’m thinking about getting a knock. They look kick ass. Couple questions. Whats the actual “cruising speed” on the 110cc’s? I’m 235lb and 5′9”. Also what would I have to do to get it registered and legalized in missouri? I seen one where I live and almost wrecked my truck trying to take it all in
Jun 11, 2009 at 11:26 pm
several ppl have them in MO, look up the forum on kikker5150.com
Jun 26, 2009 at 1:57 am
I’ve been looking for a bike for a while now I really like the look of bobbers I just come across the hardknocks. I live in ky can they be registered here also I’m 6′5 and 300 lbs would a 200cc be big enough.
Jul 19, 2009 at 4:06 am
Did anyone deal with the company “Oldschool Hardknock” for a kit? I think they are based out of Texas. I want to know how good they are for service and say if a part was needed how reliable are they. Also I want to know how reliable are the bikes after they are assembled. If anyone knows please respond….Thanks.
Jul 19, 2009 at 8:44 pm
DDP. I have personally made several purchases from OLDSCHOOLHARDKNOCK and the service and products are excellent. Josh is a class act and will do whatever it takes to make the customer happy and confident about doing business with them. The Kikker product is an amazing bike. it is well constructed and an absolute blast to ride. the draw back is parking it. Once you park it you will have no choice but to answer about a thousand questions from people who have gathered around to check out your bike. if your in a hurry and need to make a “quick” trip up to the store, take your car cause everyone will be taking up your time asking all sorts of questions. The craftmanship of the actual build is defind by the care and patience of the person who builds it. Do yourself a favor and get a HardKnock, you will love every inch of it and every mile it travels. if you are still unsure, have a look at the Hardknock forum. everyone on the forum is your friend from jump street and will be happy to inform or answer any questions you may still have.
Jul 20, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I was just reading on some forums and read a few if you are in need of parts for the bikes you have to order from a guy named Kelly. I heard not so promising things about this cat and was wondering if there is someone else you can get hooked up with for parts. I was reading that this Kelly dude owns Kikker in Cali but alot of people are pretty upset when dealing with this guy….so my question is who do you talk to to get parts if you were in need of them. Thanks anyone can respond to my question.
Jul 20, 2009 at 11:38 pm
DDP check out the forums. their are loads of dealers with many many many parts available for whatever knock application you may need. I can not speak for Kelly or Kikker. i have not done any buisness with him. I have seen him on the forum and it is my opinion that he is a straight shooter with integrity and a thriving business. Their are many aftermarket parts available through the many dealers on the kikker forum.
Jul 21, 2009 at 3:37 am
Ok cool just testing the waters before I decide on getting a kit. I like to do some research before I buy anything off the net. Thanks……………………….. :]
Jul 27, 2009 at 8:29 pm
Does anyone know if you need to seal the gas tank before you install it?
Oct 20, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Hey, why did all the comments stop back in July? I am a serious shopper for a hardknock kikker but there are so many dealers that do “drop shipping” online. How does one go directly to the manufacturer for the bike? I accept that it may not be possible, that he may very likely only do drop shipping through his dealers. Any way, I enjoy all the comments about the kikker and look forward to making some of my own when I get it!
Oct 20, 2009 at 9:13 pm
The comments stopped because we don’t focus exclusively on bikes. There is bound to be a good owners forum out there somewhere that would give you more of the sort of information that you are looking for.
Oct 20, 2009 at 11:47 pm
Yes, you can buy directly from the manufacturer. Kikkerhardknock5150 is the manufacturer. However, I would recomend purchasing from a dealer that is close to you. Most all of them are more than informative and willing to provide the absolute best customer service as well as genuine honesty and integrity. There is also a forum dedicated to the Hard knock and it’s owners. Anyone is welcomed to join and invited to do so. Click on the link on the Kikker site and make an acct or profile or whatever they call it. I am a member and will be for years. Everyone on the forum is willing to answer all of your questions and promote the Kikker Hard Knock as much as possible.
