Titan Inks $12 Million In New Orders

    PHOENIX, Aug. 17 -- Titan Motorcycle Co. Of America
announced today that, less than 90 days from the shipment of
the first production unit of its Phoenix(TM) motorcycle, the company has
received in excess of $12 million in new orders for the recently introduced
Phoenix line.  The Phoenix series, with retail prices starting at $19,995,
combines painstaking design and Titan performance, offering exceptional value
at a moderate retail price.
    "Such an enthusiastic response to our Phoenix(TM) line is both
unprecedented and very gratifying," said Patrick Keery, president.  "With most
of our production start-up issues behind us, we expect to fill a substantial
portion of this backlog in the remainder of 1999.  Importantly, we plan to
increase the availability of Phoenix model motorcycles in 2000."
    Founded in 1994, Titan Motorcycle Co. of America is a premier designer,
manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine
motorcycles marketed under various Titan trademarks.  Titan's unique,
hand-built configurations, including the Gecko(TM), Roadrunner(TM),
Sidewinder(TM), and Phoenix(TM) represent the finest available in
custom-designed, volume-produced, performance motorcycles.  Manufactured at
the company's corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility, and available
with a variety of customized options and design, Titan large displacement
motorcycles are sold through a network of over 80 domestic and international
dealers.
