Big Dog Motorcycles Pitbull reviews

I purchased a 2003 Pitbull used with 976 miles on it. The bike was immaculate...and gorgeous. As you all know, BDM puts a ton of emphasis on performance as well as looks. Without fail, whenever I stop at a light, the guy in the car next to me rolls down his window and wants to know about the bike. With the exception of a very small electrical issue (the left turn signal does not turn off after the turn is completed) my bike runs flawlessly. If you are in the market for a factory custom, I can't recommend BDM enough. Show less

I just got my pit 3 weeks ago and so far it has been great, just a big change from my old bike (fatboy). I just love the looks of the bike and the ride for a rigid is great. I have only had a few problems with the bike. The oil line where they go into the filter base were leaking and the speedo trip meter was not working. I love the power of the bike, but you better like to polish your bike because there are loads of polishing on this bad boy. Show less

I would like to say the Bike get a 5 but it is too soon to give such a high rating. The bike is a beauty to look at, it gets attention. It sounds great and rides good for a Rigid. The 250 rear tire looks awesome from any angle. As far as reliability, I hope it holds up. If not Big Dog will get my feedback. Overall great package from Big Dog. Show less

I wasn't looking for an American motorcycle when I picked up my Pitbull. In fact, I thought they were over-priced, unreliable pieces of junk. That was before I knew better. I have put 5000 miles on my '02 Pit in the past three months. It hasn't leaked oil in over 4000 miles. I have had only one problem with her mechanically (a loose wire). I have had a lot of other non-mechanical problems though. For one, women won't stop talking to me. Hot girls all want to sit on my pitbull. Also, guys keep buying me drinks out of respect or something. They all want to be the friend of the Pitbull owner. The Harley guys just won't stop staring. And finally, this bike simply is too fun to ride. I guess I will just have to overlook these problems. Maybe in '03 and '04, the guys at Big Dog Motorcycles will learn how to improve on perfection.
