Titan Phoenix(TM) Is Hot Rod Bikes Magazine's May Cover Story

    PHOENIX, April 5 Titan Motorcycle Co. of America
announced today that the cover of the May 2000 issue of Hot Rod
Bikes sports the Titan Phoenix(TM) and includes six pages devoted to
displaying and extolling the virtues of Titan's entry level cruiser.  The
article cites specifically a superb suspension, clean lines and "extra go-fast
goodies" as sure signs of excellence.
    "Kudos to Titan for developing a whole new machine for its entry-level
bike rather than a watered down knock-off," writes editor/reviewer Billy
Bartels of the Titan Phoenix, which the magazine put through the paces for
three months and 2,500 miles on the mean streets of Los Angeles.  "We eagerly
await the next machine from the Arizona builders."
    "The Phoenix line is living up to all of our expectations in terms of its
excellent market reception and field reliability," says Patrick Keery,
president.  "Our Titan dealer order backlog for the Phoenix model is
surprisingly high for so early in our riding season."  Keery says that Titan
is currently ramping up its production volume capacities to respond to this
strong consumer demand for what the company believes is the best big-engine
V-twin value available anywhere.
    Founded in 1994, Titan Motorcycle Co. of America is a premier designer,
manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine
