This is the most awesome bike ever. I'm not a very big woman, but the low profile, easy handling and perfect balance makes this bike a pleasure for a person of any size to handle. I've got to admit I had to get the push up seat in order to reach the forward controls. I love the handling the styling and yeah, the head turning too. I've put 13,000 on her and have only had one minor problem. The control buttons were recalled, but the dealer replaced them without delay. That is pretty minor considering the problem others have told me about their trailer happy rides.

I put 24,000 miles on an 03 BDM Mastiff then traded up to the 05 BDM Chopper for the Right Side Drive (RSD). I have almost 40,000 on it and love it.

I have had my Chopper for over a year now, I have put 10,000 miles on it in that time. I have had little trouble on the road. My longest trip was to the Grande Canyon North Rim a trip of 2500 miles only trouble was a flat tire two hours from home. The other long trip was a three week trip around the Northwest. My only problem on this trip was the headlight bolt broke. Three bucks later I was good as new. When I retruned home BD dealer fixed the problem with no problems. I've have the recalls that everyone who is negative on BigDog about but they were all done in a timely manner usually when I had the oil changed. Love the bike, love the attention I get when on the road.

Big Dog will step in if you have given your dealer a fair shot at repairing your bike but they have failed.

I have had no problems with my bike, plenty of warranty work, but BD stands behind it and my dealer is great to work with. I have 2 bikes so I don't live on this one, but it's great for weekends and having FUN! Remember, it's a CHOPPER, not a cruiser. I would definitely buy another BIG DOG!... read more

I have to say this in good conscience. Even though there's a lot of negative comments on here, the one thing everyone has to admit is they stand behind there warranty. That says a lot. No matter how many times they have to, they still do. When I first posted here, I couldn't get help. Now BigDog is jumping in and picking my bike up. They personally want to look at the bike. I'm going to give them a fair chance to make good and I'm going to post exactly what they did for the world to see. Like I said, you have to hand it to a company that will come pick up a bike and try to work things out. Let's see what they do.

The recalls are minor stuff and Big Dog takes care of the problem right away and that's important. I can't keep the bike off of my mind! I love the ride and all the looks you get. Going to give this one to my son Chadd in a couple years and then I'm going to get the K-9. It has the power and the looks - what's left?

I purchased my 2006 Big Dog Chopper in May and it has been awesome!! I have approximately 1200 miles on it and no problems what so ever. Performance has been great the Baker drivetrain is unbelievably smooth. When most people think "Chopper" they think uncomfortable and poor handling. With this bike that is far from true in fact it is very comfortable and fun to ride. The furthest I have gone in one day is about a 200 mile ride. You feel as if you are part of the bike instead of just sitting on it. The first day I test drove one I was doing slow tight turns without putting a foot down. The balance of the bike with the balanced right side drive is great! Quality with fit and finish is top notch. I recently had the opportunity to look at some Thunder Mountain Cycle Customs (basically Harley Customs) and the Big Dog in my opinion is much nicer and about 10,000 cheaper. If you want something to jump on, have fun and turn heads hear you go!!
