Rucker Performance Motorcycles

Rucker Performance Motorcycle Company was founded in 2003 by Bill Rucker, who brought more than 30 years of experience in motorcycle manufacturing, drag racing, and hot rods to the venture. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, the company became a certified EPA manufacturer building high-performance American V-twin cruisers and custom motorcycles, including models such as the Copperhead, Gauntlet, Warlord, Assassin, and the twin-heavy Predator. Rucker also partnered with Shelby Automobiles to build a limited-edition Shelby-branded motorcycle aimed at matching the power-to-weight reputation of the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, positioning the company within the small, performance-focused end of the American custom motorcycle market.
