2003 Big Dog Motorcycles Chopper Motorcycle reviews

I purchased my '03 Chopper used. I felt Big Dog and my dealer could have told me to go away when I had some minor problems. Instead I received the best warranty and service I have ever experienced. When you have a custom bike you have to expect there will be issues arising. Both the factory and the dealership earned themselves a life long customer. As far as the bike, it is totally bad-ass. Not only is it fast and comfortable, but attracts all the attention you would want. Show less

This bike is so great I may have to buy another one. No problems except for a leaking oil hose, which was replaced in an hour. Long trips are nice on the bike, except for a little stiffness in the suspension. I have no reason to upgrade anything, the bike is near perfect. I may even give this one to the wife and get me my own Chopper. Show less

Been riding Harley's for 25 yrs. None of them compare to the '03 Big Dog Chopper I own now. Great ride, reliable, and what a head turner. Big Dog has also been great in backing their product. Show less

I've been riding for 20+ years and have owned many different bikes including a Honda Wing, Harley Fat Boy and many others. Without question this is the best looking bike I have ever owned and certainly the most fun to ride. No matter when or where I ride, I am guaranteed to have people pull up next to me with a BIG thumbs up or screaming NICE BIKE! I have not yet gone out without several comments. The bike is built better than any I've owned so far and has a GREAT ride. Big Dog has selected top components and does a GREAT job. I drove 5 hours to pick up this bike. The folks at Big Dog have been great too. Show less

I am a crusty old retired engineer/waterski coach that has had many Harleys. Quality was number one with me, and even though I worried about things like fiberglass fenders, overall I have got to say I am pleased. It came with a Daytech frame. Every scooter I owned has had some little problems. My old 1988 puked oil after sitting for more than 2 weeks. Lived with that for 15yrs. Pans and Flatheads required constant attention. I plan to just get up close and personal with this ride, and enjoy the heck out of it. I have never experienced smooth power, and so much attention out on the road. After throwing my leg over every Chopper on the planet, reading reviews, talking to every one that would offer comparisons, it boiled down to finding a dealer that would treat me right and put down the money on my choice of color. (the trick sissy-bar mount for the old lady the three times a year, was huge) Show less

I have rode several choppers but nothing rode as good as the Big Dog Chopper. Handling is great, plenty of power, and it is a great looking bike. I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a chopper. Show less

After owning many different bikes over the past twenty years. I cannot seem to find enough great things to say about my new Chopper. Best bike I've ever owned.... Show less

Great Dealer support, Many top ratings: paint, chrome, start up, finishes. The intitial ride was so perfect in many ways: ride quality, choke and carb perfection, handling, and most important, it great looks and attention! This is a marvelous looking and running machine. You can try and pick at it, but the truth is that this is a tremendous value for the money. A wonderful looking and running "custom" for a very reasonable price! Show less

As someone who has owned everything from Harleys to Hayabusas, take it from me that this bike is in a class by itself. I just test rode (and ordered) a chopper and came away very impressed. The handling is excellent for a chopper. The bike does have a very slight tendency to turn left due to the offset of the primary. This is a minor tendency and will soon be forgotten after a day or so. Vibration is moderate but certainly tolerable - about what I would expect from a 107" motor. Speaking of the 107" motor, the power is plentiful to say the least. Certainly more than enough to smoke the 250 rear tire down to the rims. The fit and finish is the best I've seen and the bike started easily on a 40 degree day. What a head turner! If you're looking for a back road corner carver, move on. If, however, you're looking for the most well balanced, best looking chopper on the market - look no further. As for the resale value - that remains to be seen - but if you're looking for an investment, buy a mutual fund. While the Texas Chopper is a fine mount, I don't think it can match the Big Dog in the looks department. This is the best money I've ever spent on a bike. Show less

I've owned bike many bikes over the years and have never been happier.This thing get constant attention and everyone wants to know who built it.I'm the only one on the big island with a chopper so far,but I think there will be more to follow. Show less
