Independence Motorcycles reviews

I have a 2007 BD Mastiff with tribal flames. I have ridden it 2500 miles so far. I think this is the best dog BDM has built. On a recent highway trip, riding 2 up, I couldn't believe how well this dog performed. Show less

I love this bike. Can not say how happy I am with Big Dog, only wish is I could have a Mastiff along side the K-9 in the garage. Front tire was going soft but a tube fixed that (dealership no problem). Show less

My buddy bought an '02' Iron Horse Slammer. I liked the bike but thought the overall appearance wasn't as BAD as the bike could be. The clutch was stiff and the ride, for a soft tail wasn't all that great. When I saw the '05' Ridgeback, there was the answer for me! The Rigid rides like no bike I have been on. The attention it gets was unexpected. People point at us as we go down the road. Aw-yea! Big Dog has done it with this one! Show less

Coming from riding Harleys exclusively, hearing stories about other bike companies rides, I was a bit cautious. My dealings with the dealership were so positive I figured why not. Pulled the trigger on a 07 Bulldog, all I can say is this bike kicks ass. Well built, rides beautifully -way better than I expected. The tech said it would probaly take me 20 or so miles to get the feel of it, he was right. I can handle it as well as any of my Harley's I've had and built over the years. If you're thinking about buying a Bulldog, take it from me...do it. Show less

I have almost 1600 miles on the K-9 and it is a sweet ride! I love riding it and it is a very comfortable bike. It took a few hundred miles to get use to it but now I am real comfortable with it. I love the looks you get and everyone that stops to see the bike always compliments it big time! Show less

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. It's a real head turner, imagine cars going by taking pictures or video of you! Have had problems with the starter and speedo but BDM takes care of them quickly. Show less

I am the proud owner of the 2001 brochure silver and white Vintage Sport. This bike handles well, has unbelievable power and is as comfortable to ride all day as my Fatboy. Just wish Big Dog would have offered more accessories. Since I have owned this bike I have owned three other bikes, including one later model Big Dog, and let them go. This bike is a keeper.

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. Show less

Just a follow up on the 2007 Big Dog Mastiff. So far the bike has performed very well. The larger back tire does follow road angles and grooves a little more and it needs a little finese around slow turns. But the over all handling and performance has been great. Much better than my 2004 Mastiff. Show less

This is one of the hottest motorcycles to own. From day one the compliments and on lookers have yet to stop. Where ever you go someone is complimenting you about the bike wonderful job with looks and craftmanship. The best part is that it rides as good or better than it looks. Show less
