History
[edit]Havoc Motorcycles was founded in Prince Edward Island in 2014. The company's launch was announced in September 2015[1][2] with the launch of its first prototype model, the "Iron Flight: Mike Tyson Special Edition" a themed motorcycle featuring graphics licensed from Mike Tyson, entertainer and former heavyweight boxing champion.
In 2016, Havoc Motorcycles formed a partnership with the Wild West Motor Co., an established United States manufacturer of hand-built motorcycles in operation since 1987, for technology transfer and licensing of high-horsepower street motorcycle designs. The Wild West Gunfire, a dragster-inspired motorcycle, formed the basis for two of Havoc Motorcycles' next models, and companies cooperated in the launch of the Havoc 124SS that was unveiled in February 2017.[3][4]
In 2019 the company introduced the Havoc 127 VooDoo, a cruiser with 1960s retro styling.[5]
